Hi Trust,

As far as I can recall my knowledge about this , I think that B is the Right answer. because due to the error of book keeper , The a/c are overstated by $880 i.e. The difference between $3840-$2960 = $ 880 .$880 is then taken as a difference for which a suspense a/c is being opened and difference being taken there , so to balance the trail balance. So debiting these relevant figures into there correct a/c and putting the difference in the suspense a/c would balance the entires and ractify the error. I hope you have good know-how about suspense a/c here bcoz its one of the playing factor here.

However , This is ONLY what I can THINK at the best of my weak memory.

You should refer to the Tutors solution , which should follow shortly.


Cheers,

Acid

Just trying to help you out, I think the entry to the error would be the option B itself. I have tried to list the entries for the two errors.

Error: Discount allowed $3840 was credited to discount received account

Discount allowed DR 3840
Discount received DR 3840
Suspense Account CR 7680

Error: Discount received $2960 was debited to discount allowed account

Suspense Account DR 5920
Discount allowed CR 2960
Discount received CR 2960

These two entries can be combined into the following entry

Discount allowed DR 880
Discount received DR 880
Suspense Account CR 1760

As Acid said, the tutors' solution is the perfect one to be relied upon and they would respond to you in a short time.

Have a good day!

Hi Vishwas,

True, there are not so many mistakes in F3. However, we are in the process of preparing the list of errors and we have not yet completed this work.

Whenever you have any such doubts you can clear it through this forum.

I am studing for Paper F3, Can you please tell me in what sequence i have to study , espetially GTG material i think is simple and with all the syllabus contents.

Please also tell me which chapters should i study first for easy understanding and those which i really can skip. :confused:

Mukund-

[Acid]

Forget skipping anything. You are not going to use the word SKIP if you wish that the examiner dont SKIP you from the Passed students list.

There are always best ways and no shortcuts and skipping in ACCA Exams

Best of luck!

Thank you Acid..:)

I will not skip any of the chapter for sure:o I am sitting for F3 paper probably at this month end. Do you have any experience of CBE, or have appeared any knowledge level paper computer-based?

I think as far as my perception goes , CBE are much easier then Paper based examinations.

Me and my friend both gave 1.1 and 1.2 together , we studies together and were generally on same progress infact I must say I was a bit ahead of him and my friend didnt understood few concepts . I appeared for paper based while he appeared for CBE and I scored 62 and 77 and He scored 98 and 97 .


This is only one experience which I have . But I think CBE are generally easier as you dont have to do lotsa calculations on paper which we , students , often fear.

So , stop worrying too much about it and get your head in the books. Bcoz that is one thing that will ensure you a pass in both , CBE and Paper based exams


Best of luck..
