A. debit stationery with N2,200
B. credit stationery with N1,800
C. debit stationery with N1,800
D. credit stationery with N2,200

Correct Answer:

Option C – debit stationery with N1,800

Explanation

To correct the error, we have to debit the amount in excess so as when it is being calculated, the debit side would balance with the credit side.

Remember income in recorded on the debit side while expenses are recorded on the credit side. Since stationary was bought, (expense) it is assumed that it was recorded on the credit side. hence we will debit the amount in excess
