The outgoing cheque of Rs. 3,000 is recorded twice in the credit side of bank column of Two-Columnar Cash Book. How will you make amendments in the cash book for this error?

  1. Rs. 3,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.

  2. Rs. 3,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 3,000 is to be entered in the debit side of Cash Column.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is correct that Rs. 3,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column. The outgoing cheque is recorded two times or twice in the credit side of bank column of Rs. 3,000. Hence, in the credit side of bank column, double of Rs. 3,000, i.e. Rs. 6,000 are entered. Therefore, to rectify this error, Rs. 3,000 will be entered in the debit side of the bank column. The net effect of this will be that Rs. 3,000 will be in the credit side of bank column (Rs. 6,000 in credit side -  Rs. 3,000 in debit side = Rs. 3,000 ).

The salary of Rs. 10,000 paid by cheque is entered in credit side of Cash Column of Two-Columnar Cash Book. How will you rectify it in the cash book?

  1. Rs. 10,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column only.

  2. Rs. 10,000 is to be entered in the credit side of the bank column, and Rs. 10,000 is to be entered in the debit side of cash column.

  3. Rs. 10, 000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column only.

  4. Rs. 10,000 is to be entered in the credit side of cash column, and Rs.10, 000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

It is correct. Rs. 10,000 is credited to the bank column because it is not credited earlier. Rs. 10, 000, which was entered by mistake in the credit side of cash column, will be debited to cash column to rectify it.

A cheque of Rs. 5,000 is issued to our customer Mohit, but Mohit has not presented for payment till the date of preparation of Bank Reconciliation Statement. When the balance as per cash book is given and we have to calculate balance as per pass book, the cheque issued of Rs. 5,000 would be

  1. added in the balance as cash book

  2. subtracted from balance as per cash book

  3. added in the balance as per pass book

  4. subtracted from balance as per pass book


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. When we had issued the cheque to Mohit, we would have decreased our balance in bank thinking that Mohit would present it for payment. But it is not presented for payment till the date of preparation of Bank Reconciliation Statement and the balance at bank is not decreased. Hence, the balance, which was decreased before is not decreased actually and we have to increase it and by which the balance at bank is increased, is to be added in the balance as per cash book.

The commission of Rs. 1,000 was charged by bank, but it was entered in debit side of Bank Column of Two-Columnar Cash Book. How will you rectify this mistake in the Two-Columnar Cash Book?

  1. No rectification is required.

  2. Rs. 2,000 is to be entered in credit side of cash column.

  3. Rs. 2,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column.

  4. Rs. 1,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is correct. We have to enter Rs. 1,000 in the credit side of bank column as it decreases the balance in the bank. But we have entered Rs. 1,000 in the debit side of bank column. Hence, double of Rs. 1,000, i.e. Rs. 2,000 will be entered in the credit side of bank column.

A cheque of Rs. 2,000 received from our customer was dishonoured when it was presented for payment, but it was entered in credit side of Bank Column of Two-Columnar Cash Book. How will it be rectified in the Two-Columnar Cash Book?

  1. No rectification is required.

  2. Rs. 2,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 2,000 is to be entered in the credit side of cash column.

  4. Rs. 2,000 is to be entered in the debit side of cash column.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct that no rectification is required. The cheque received from our customer is dishonoured when presented for payment. Hence, customer's account will be debited while journalising it. Therefore, while entering it in the Bank Column of Cash Book, it will be entered in its credit side as by customer's account. So, no rectification is required.

A cheque of Rs. 5,000 received from our customer M/s Ram and Sons was recorded twice in the debit side of Bank Column of Two-Columnar Cash Book. How will you rectify it in the cash book?

  1. Rs. 5,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column.

  2. Rs. 5,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 5,000 is to be entered in the credit side of cash column.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. Rs. 5,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column. Since we have entered two times or twice the cheque received from our customer M/s Ram and Sons, then we have entered Rs. 10,000 ( 2 x 5,000 (double of 5000)) in the debit side of bank column. Hence, Rs. 5,000 would be entered in the credit side of bank column to nullify the mistake made.

A cheque of Rs. 10,000 is sent to bank, but not yet credited till the date of preparation of Bank Reconciliation Statement. When the balance as per pass book is given, and we have to calculate the balance as per cash book, Rs. 10,000 would be

  1. added in the balance as per pass book

  2. subtracted from balance as per pass book

  3. added in the balance as per cash book

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. When the cheque of Rs. 10,000 is sent to bank, the customer increases the balance in his books. But if it is not credited till the date of preparation of Bank Reconciliation, the customer has to decrease the balance by Rs 10,000. That by which the bank balance of the customer is decreased, is to be added in the balance as per pass book.

The bank has paid life insurance premium of Rs. 30,000 on behalf of customer, but it is credited in the cash column of Two - Columnar Cash Book. How would it be rectified in the Two - Columnar Cash Book?

  1. Rs. 30,000 is entered in the debit side of cash column only.

  2. Rs. 30,000 is entered in the credit side of bank column and Rs, 30,000 is entered in the debit side of cash column.

  3. Rs. 30,000 is entered in the debit side of bank column, and Rs. 30,000 is entered in the credit side of cash column.

  4. Rs. 30,000 is entered in the credit side of bank column only.


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is correct. The bank balance of the customer would be decreased because the bank has paid Rs 30,000 as life insurance premium on behalf of the customer. Hence, it is to be entered in credit side of bank column, but is entered in credit side of cash column. Therefore, Rs. 30,000 which is not entered in credit side of bank column would be entered now in its credit side. Rs. 30,000 which is entered in credit side of cash column by mistake would be entered now in its debit side.

Rs. 6,000 is deposited in bank by Ram from his cash in business, but is entered only in the debit side of bank column. How will the amendments made in the Two - Columnar Cash Book to rectify the mistake?

  1. Rs. 6,000 is entered in the credit side of cash column only.

  2. Rs. 6,000 is entered in the credit side of cash column, and Rs. 6,000 is entered in the debit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 6,000 is entered in the credit side of bank column and Rs. 6,000 is entered in the debit side of cash column.

  4. Rs. 6,000 is entered in the debit side of bank column only.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. It is a contra transaction. As the balance at bank would increase when cash is deposited, it would be entered in debit side of bank column and credit side of cash book but the credit has not been given earlier.

Rakesh has made the payment to its creditor of Rs. 1,450 through cheque, but credited it as Rs. 1,540 in the bank column of his Two - Columnar Cash Book. How will Rakesh make amendments in his Two - Columnar Cash Book?

  1. Rs. 90 is entered in the debit side of bank column.

  2. Rs. 90 is entered in the credit side of bank column.

  3. Rs.1,450 is entered in the debit side of bank column.

  4. Rs. 90 is entered in the debit side of cash column.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. As the payment of only Rs. 1,450 is made through cheque by Rakesh, the bank balance should be decreased by Rs. 1,450 but Rakesh has entered Rs. 1,540 in the credit side of bank column. Therefore, Rs. 90 is entered in excess in the credit side (Rs. 1,540 Rs. 1,450). So, Rs. 90 would be entered in the debit side to rectify the mistake made or make amendments.

The bank has charged commission Rs. 1,320 for its sevices provided to Rahul, but Rahul has entered Rs. 1,230 in the credit side of Bank Column. How will Rahul make amendments in the Two - Columnar Cash Book?

  1. Rs. 90 is entered in the debit side of bank column.

  2. Rs. 90 is entered in credit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 90 is entered in the credit side of cash column.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

This is correct. Rs. 90 is entered in credit side of bank column. Rahul had to enter Rs.1, 320 in the credit side of bank column because it is the commission charged by bank. But Rahul has entered only Rs. 1,230 in the credit side of bank column. Further, Rs. 90 is entered in credit side of bank column (Rs. 1,320 - Rs. 1,230).

The cash column of the Two - Columnar Cash Book has been overcast by Rs. 2,100 from the receipts side. How to make amendments in the Two - Columnar Cash Book to rectify this mistake?

  1. Rs. 2,100 is entered in the credit side of cash column.

  2. Rs. 2,100 to be entered in the debit side of Cash Column

  3. Rs 2,100 to be entered in the credit side of Bank Column

  4. Rs 2,100 to be entered in the debit side of Bank Column


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. The receipts side is the debit side of cash column or bank column. Hence, if the cash column is overcast by Rs. 2,100 it means that Rs. 2,100 is shown in excess in the debit side. Therefore, Rs. 2,100 is to be entered in the credit side of cash column to nullify the mistake made.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

So, Rs. 30,000 would be entered in the debit side of Cash Column to nullify the amount of Rs. 30,000. Rs 30,000, which is not entered before in the credit side of bank column, would be entered in its credit side now.

But we have entered only Rs. 1,460 in the debit side of bank column. Further, Rs. 180 is entered in the debit side of bank column (Rs. 1,640 - Rs. 1,460).

  4. Rs. 18,000 is entered in the credit side of cash column.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. The cheque of Rs. 20,000 is issued and hence our bank balance would be decreased by Rs. 20,000. So, we have to enter Rs. 20,000 in the credit side of bank column, but only Rs. 2,000 is entered in credit side of the bank column. Further Rs. 18,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column (Rs. 20,000 - Rs. 2,000).

  3. Rs. 3,230 is to be entered in debit side of bank column only.

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A

But instead of that, Rs. 3,320 is entered in debit side of cash column. Therefore, Rs. 3,320 entered in debit side of cash column by mistake is to be entered in the credit side of cash column to nullify it. Rs. 3,230, which is not entered before in the debit side of bank column would be entered in its debit side now.

  3. Rs. 4,100 is entered in the debit side of bank column.

  4. Rs. 4,100 is entered in the credit side of cash column.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The salary of Rs. 10,000 is paid by cheque, but is entered on the credit side of bank column by Rs. 1, 00,000 in the Two - Columnar Cash Book. How to rectify this mistake in the Two - Columnar Cash Book assuming that the entry is made in the correct side of cash book?

  1. Rs. 90,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.

  2. Rs. 90,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 90,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column and Rs. 90,000 is to be entered in the credit side of cash column.

  4. Rs. 90,000 is to be entered in debit side of cash column.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. The salary is paid by cheque of Rs. 10,000. Hence, it would decrease the bank balance by Rs. 10,000. Thus, Rs. 10,000 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column, but Rs.1, 00,000 is entered in the credit side. Therefore, Rs. 90,000 is entered in excess in the credit side (Rs. 1, 00,000 - Rs. 10,000 Rs. = 90,000). So, Rs. 90,000 is to be entered in the debit side to rectify the mistake made.

The proprietor introduces fresh capital of Rs. 20,000, but is debited in cash with Rs. 2,000 only. How will this mistake be rectified in the Two - Columnar Cash Book assuming that the entry is made in the correct side of Cash Book?

  1. Rs. 18,000 is to be entered in debit side of cash column.

  2. Rs.18,000 is to be entered in credit side of cash column.

  3. Rs. 18,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.

  4. Rs. 20,000 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. The proprietor has introduced fresh capital of Rs. 20,000. Hence, cash would be increased by Rs. 20,000 and is to be entered in debit side of cash column as Rs. 20,000. But in the debit side of cash column, it is entered as Rs. 2,000 only as the entry is made in the correct side. Hence, further Rs. 18,000 would be entered in debit side of cash column (Rs. 20,000  -  Rs. 2,000 )

Dividend of Rs. 200 is collected by bank on behalf of customer, but is entered in the debit side of Bank Column of Two - Columnar Cash Book as Rs. 2,000 by the customer. What will be the rectifying entry made in the Two - Columnar Cash Book?

  1. Rs. 1,800 is to be entered in the credit side of bank column.

  2. Rs. 1,800 is to be entered in the debit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 1,800 is to be entered in the credit side of cash column.

  4. Rs. 2,000 is to be entered in credit side of bank column.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct.

The dividend collected by bank is of Rs. 200 and hence bank balance would be increased by Rs. 200, which is to be entered in the debit side of bank column. But instead Rs. 2,000 is entered in its debit side. Thus, Rs. 1,800 is entered in excess in the debit side (Rs. 2,000 Rs. 200). Therefore, Rs. 1,800 would now be entered in the credit side of bank column to nullify the mistake made.

The bill of Rs. 2,000 received from our customer was dishonoured on due date. The bill was discounted by us before and Rs. 100 was noting charge. On the dishonour of bill, the entry was made in the credit side of bank column as Rs. 2,000. How will we make amendments in our cash book to rectify this mistake?

  1. Rs.100 is to be entered in credit side of bank column.

  2. Rs.100 is to be entered in debit side of bank column.

  3. Rs. 2,100 is to be entered in credit side of bank column.

  4. Rs.100 is to be entered in the credit side of cash column.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is correct. When the bill is dishonoured on due date, which was discounted before the payment of the bill due is to be made to bank along with noting charge. The amount of bill is of Rs. 2,000 and noting charge is of Rs. 100. Hence, total is (Rs. 2,000 + Rs. 100 = Rs. 2,100). So, Rs. 2,100 is to be entered in credit side of bank column, but we have entered only Rs. 2,000. Thus, further Rs. 100 is to be entered in credit side of bank column (Rs. 2,100 - Rs. 2,000 = Rs.100 )
