(iv) Sales include goods sold for cash amounting to GH₵25,000 on behalf of Mr Kwame. Mensah and Partners were entitled to a commission of 10% on the sales plus selling expenses, for which no adjustment was made. The related selling expenses amounted to GH₵1,500.
(v) An amount of GH₵3,800 owed by Y & Co. for goods supplied was to be adjusted against an amount of GH₵8,500 owed to Y & Co. No entry has been made in this regard.

(vii) Goods invoiced at GH₵23,000 and returned by J K, a debtor, were entered in the purchase day book and posted therefrom to K J, a creditor, as GH₵32,000.
(viii) A supplier’s invoice for GH₵12,300 had been entered in the purchase day book on 28 December 20X9. However, the goods were received on 2 January 20Y0.
(ix) Some items of furniture which stood in the books at GH₵24,000 on 1 January 20X9 were disposed of on 30 June 20X9 in exchange for new furniture costing GH₵20,800.
