When a trial balance did not balance, an accountant opened a suspense account. The accountant then discovered the following errors.
Telephone expense of £1,900 had wrongly been entered in the accounts as £9,100.
A purchase of 2,000 had been recorded twice in the purchases account.
A £1,400 settlement discount received from a supplier had been posted to the wrong side of the discounts received account.
Note that the other side of the entries was correct, otherwise there would not have been an imbalance.
How much was the original balance on the suspense account? Identify the suspense account figure as either a credit or a debit balance.
