1st PUC Accountancy Trial Balance and Rectification of Errors Six Marks Questions and Answers

Question 1.
What are the methods of preparing trial balance?
Answer:
The two different methods to prepare trial balance.
a. Totals method : According to the totals method, the total of debit and credit sides of an accounts is shown in the debit and credit columns of the trial balance. If the total of the debit column and the total of credit column of trial balance are equal, then the trial balance is said to agree, otherwise not.

b. Balance method : According to the balance method, the balance of ledger accounts is shown in the debit and credit column of the Trial Balance. The balance of ledger may be either debit balance or credit balance. In the former case, the debit side of an account exceeds its credit side; whereas, in the latter case the credit side exceeds the debit side of the account. The sum total of the balances in the debit column of the trial balance must be equal to the sum total of the balances in the credit columns of the trial balance. It is a commonly used method.

c. Total cum balance method : It is a combination of both of the above methods, i.e., totals method and balance method.

Question 2.
What are the steps taken by an accountant to locate the errors in the trial balance?
Answer:
The following are various steps that an accountant takes to locate the errors in the trial balance.

a. Re-totalling of the debit and the credit columns of the trial balance to locate the difference in the total of both the columns.
b. Checking whether any account is omitted to be recorded with the exact difference amount.
c. Half the difference, then check whether any amount is posted in the wrong column of the trial balance.
d. Divide the difference by 9, if it is competely divisible, it is an error of transposition of figure, i.e. 546 is written as 645.
e. If there exist difference especially of ₹ 1, ₹ 10, ₹ 100, ₹ 1000, etc., it suggests that the casting of subsidiary books should be checked once again.
f. If difference still exists and it is not possible to detect the reason for the difference, then for the time being, the difference is transferred in the suspense account in order to proceed further. Otherwise a complete checking is suggested.

Question 3.
What is suspense account? Is it necessary that suspense account will balance off after rectification of the errors detected by the accountant? If not, then what happens to the balance still remaining in suspenses account?
Answer:
When trial balance does not agree, i.e., when the total of the debit column does not match that of the credit column, then the difference of the trial balance is transferred to a temporary account in order to avoid delay in preparation of the financial statements. This temporary account is termed as suspense account.

If the debit column falls short of the credit column, then the suspense account is debited and if the credit column falls short of the debit column then the suspense account is credited. If all the errors are detected and rectified, then the suspense account automatically gets closed (i.e. becomes zero).

However, if still there exists any difference, then it should be transferred to the balance sheet. If the suspense account shows a debit balance, then it is shown in the assets side and if the suspense account shows a debit balance, then it is shown in the assets side and if the suspense account shows a credit balance, then it is shown in the liabilities side of the balance sheet.

Question 4.
What kinds of errors would cause difference in the trial balance? Also list examples that would not be revealed by a trial balance?
Answer:
The errors that lead to the differences in the trial balance are termed as one-sided errors.
These are those errors that affect only one account. Below are given the errors that cause difference in the trial balance.

a. Wrong casting of any account, this is termed as the error of casting.
b. Wrong carrying forward of the balances from previous year’s books or from one end of page to another. These types of errors are termed as the errors in carrying forward.
c. If entries are posted in the wrong side of accounts.
d. Posting of a wrong amount in account, this is termed as the error of posting.
e. If entries are recorded partially, i.e., the entries are not recorded completely, then due to the error of partial omission, trial balance.

KSEEB Solutions

Question 5.
State the limitations of trial balance?
Answer:
The ineffectiveness of the trial balance is termed as the limitations of trial balance. The various limitations of the trial balance are given below.

  • It does not assist to detect errors that arise if any entry is not recorded in the journal. Such errors are termed as the errors of Complete Omission.
  • If the effect of one error is canceled by the effect of another error, then it cannot be ascertained by the trial balance. Such types of errors are termed as compensatory errors, which are rare to find.
  • If correct amount is posted in the correct side; however, in the wrong account and if wrong amount is posted in the wrong side, but in the correct account, then the trial balance fails to reflect these errors.
  • If there arises any error of principle, like capital expenditure mistakenly regarded as revenue expenditure or vice-versa, then such errors may not be revealed in form of mismatch between the two columns of the Trial balance.
  • If any transaction is recorded wrongly in the looks of original entry, then such mistakes lead to the errors of recording which are not revealed by trial balance.

Question 6.
Describe the purpose for the preparation of trial balance.
Answer:
The important purposes for the preparation of trial balance are explained with the help of the following points:

  • Ascertaining the arithmetical accuracy : When the total of all debit balance accounts are equal to all credit balance accounts, it is assumed that at least posting from journal to the respective accounts is arithmetically correct.
  • Summarising the ledger accounts: Trial balance acts as a consolidated statement, providing a comprehensive list of all the accounts. Thus, a trial balance provides a summarised version of each account.
  • Preparing final accounts : As the trial balance provides a summarised version of each account, so different accounts can be directly transferred to trading, profit and loss accounts, and balance sheet without referring to different ledgers.
  • Locating and rectifying errors : If the trial balance does not agree, it indicates the occurrence of arithmetical error, which can be easily located. However, trial balance only helps in locate and rectify arithmetical error and no other types of errors.

Question 7.
Explain errors of principle and give two examples with measures to rectify them.
Answer:
Errors of principle refer to those errors that are committed when recording of transactions in the original book of entry is done against the accounting principle. These errors are not reflected in the trial balance. These errors are committed when proper distinction is not made between capital expenditure and revenue expenditure, or vice versa or between capital income and revenue income or vice versa.
Th following examples will illustrate the process of understanding and rectification of such errors.

Example 1 : Wages paid for construction of building are debited to Wages account.
Wrong entry made is:
Wages A/c Dr
To cash A/c
(Wages paid in cash)
In this case, wages paid for the construction of building should be treated as a capital expenditure and accordingly should be debited to the building account. However, the wages account is wrongly debited.
The correct entry that should have been made is:
Building A/c or To cash A/c
(wages paid for construction of building)
The rectifying entry should be :
Building A/c Dr
To Wages A/c
(Wages paid for construction of building was debited to wages account, now rectified)

Example 2:
The sale of old machinery recorded as sales.
wrong entry made:
Cash A/c Dr
To sales A/c
(Sales of old machinery, recorded as sales)
In this case, the sale of old machinery should not be recorded as sales; in fact the Machinery Account should be credited.
The correct entry that should have been made is:
Cash A/c Dr
To machinery A/c
(Old machinery sold for cash)
In order to rectify this error, sales account will be debited, as it is wrongly credited and machinery will be credited, as it willnot be recorded in the books.
The rectifying entry will be:
Sales A/c Dr
To Machinery A/c
(Sales of old machinery recorded as sales, now rectified)

Question 8.
Explain the errors of commission and give two examples with measures to rectify them.
Answer:
Errors of commission refer to those errors that are committed when transactions are recorded with wrong amounts, wrong balancing is done, wrong posting and/or wrong carrying forwarded is done. The following examples will illustrate the process of understanding and rectification of such errors.

Example 1 : Sales made to Mr A of ₹ 30,000 recorded as 3,000 from invoice.
In this case, Mr. X’s account has been debited with ₹ 3,000 instead of ₹ 30,000; hence the error of commission is committed. This requires a further debit of ₹ 27,000, in order to rectify this error of commission. This will be rectified by passing the following entry:
Mr A’s A/c Dr 9,000
To sales A/c 9,000.
(Good sold to Mr X of ₹ 30,000 was wrongly posted as ₹ 3,000, now rectified)

Purchase book Was under cast by ₹ 40,000. This error can be rectified in any of the following two stages:

a. If an error is located before preparing trial balance, then ₹ 10,000 should be recorded in the debit side of purchases account.

b. If an error is located after preparing trial balance, then the following entry need to be recorded.
Purchase A/c  – 40,000
To Suspense A/c  – 40,000

Question 9.
What are the different types of errors that are usually committed in recording business transactions?
Answer:
1. Errors of omission: When an entry gets omitted during recording in the book of original entry or during posting the transaction, then error of omission is committed. There are two types of errors of omission, viz.:

  • Partial omission : When a transaction is correctly recorded in one side of account but is not recorded in the other side of the account.
  • Complete omission : When a transaction gets completely omitted to be recorded in the books, then it is the case of complete omission. Such omission does not affect the trial balance.

2. Errors of principle : These refer to those errors that are committed when recording of transactions in the book of the original entry is done against the accounting, principle. These errors affect the trial balance. These errors are committed when proper distinction is not made between revenue income or expenditure and capital income or expenditure.

3. Errors of commission: These refer to those errors that are committed when transactions are recorded with wrong amounts, wrong balance, wrong posting and/or wrong carrying forwarded is done.

4. Compensating errors : When effects of one error are cancelled by the effects of another error of an equal amount, then compensating errors are committed.

Question 10.
As an accountant of a company, you are disappointed to learn that the totals in your new trial balance are not equal. After going through a careful analysis, you have discovered only one error. Specifically, the balance of the office equipment account has a debit balance of ₹ 15,600 on the trial balance. However, you have figured out that a correctly recorded credit purchase of pen-drive for ₹ 3,500 was posted from the journal to the ledger with a ₹ 3,500 debit to office equipment and another ₹ 3,500 debit to creditors accounts.

b. Is the balance of the creditors account overstated, understated, or correctly stated in the trial balance?
c. Is the debit column total of the trial balance overstated, understated, or correctly stated?
d. Is the credit column total of the trial balance overstated, understated, or correctly stated?
e. If the debit column total of the trial balance is ₹ 2,40,000 before correcting the error, what is the total of credit column.

a. The balance of office equipment is overstated by ₹3,500.
b. The balance of creditors accounts is understated by ₹ 7,000
c. The total of the debit column of the trial balance is correctly stated.
d. The total of the credit column of the trial balance is understand by ₹ 7,000.
e. If the total of the debit column of the trial balance is ₹ 2,40,000 before rectifying error, the total of the credit column of the trial balance is ₹ 2,33,000 (i.e., ₹ 2,40,000 – ₹ 7,000).
