Explanation / Answer
Answer to Question 1
Answer to Question 2
Answer 3
There are certain types of errors which does not effect a trial balance and are self compensating in nature. For eg.
Credit purchases entry for $1600 posted to the account of Mr A. instead of Mr B. Here in this case if we correct the entry as well, one creditor account will be debited and another creditor account will be credited. There will be no impact on creditor account nor the trial balance. Journal to rectify would be:
Creditors (Mr. A).... Dr. 1600
To, Creditors (Mr.B).... Cr. 1600
However, there can be certain errors which impact a Trial balance. For eg. Entire annual insurance expense of Rs 1200 was expensed off, though 4 months still remain after balance sheet date.
Rectification entry
Prepaid insurance...... (a balance sheet A/c) Dr. 400
To, Insurance... (a profit and loss A/c) Cr. 400
Here two different accounts are impacted and that too one is an expense account and another is a balance sheet account. this impacts trial balance, profit and loss account and balance sheet as well.
