What is the value of Dalandi Bako's capital?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The capital is calculated as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Therefore, the correct answer is ₦60,650.

The journal has the following headings except

Awọn alaye Idahun

A journal is a book of original entry where all the financial transactions of a business are recorded in a chronological order. It serves as a primary record-keeping tool for accounting purposes. The main purpose of a journal is to provide a detailed record of each transaction that occurs in a business. This allows for accurate and transparent financial reporting and analysis. The journal typically has several headings to organize the information recorded. These headings include the date, debit, credit, and discount. - The "date" heading is used to record the date on which the transaction occurred. This is important for reference and to maintain a chronological order of the transactions. - The "debit" heading is used to record the amount of money or value that is going out of the business due to the transaction. This could include expenses, assets being sold, or liabilities being paid off. - The "credit" heading is used to record the amount of money or value that is coming into the business due to the transaction. This could include revenue, loans, or other sources of income. - Finally, the "discount" heading is used to record any discounts given or received during the transaction. Discounts are often given to customers as an incentive or to settle outstanding debts. Therefore, based on the given options, the heading that would not typically be found in a journal is "discount." This is because the journal mainly focuses on recording and summarizing financial transactions, and discounts are not directly related to the core financial operations of a business.

he part of capital issued only at the time of liquidation of the company is

Awọn alaye Idahun

The part of capital issued only at the time of liquidation of the company is called "reserved capital." Reserved capital represents a portion of a company's capital that is set aside for a specific purpose, typically to be used in the event of liquidation. When a company is liquidated, its assets are sold off to pay off any outstanding debts and obligations. Any remaining funds or assets are then distributed to the shareholders. The reserved capital is used as a safeguard to ensure that there are sufficient funds available to cover any unforeseen expenses or liabilities that may arise during the process of winding up the company. Reserved capital is different from other types of capital, such as issued capital, called-up capital, and paid-up capital. Issued capital refers to the total value of shares that a company has offered to the public. Called-up capital is the portion of issued capital that the shareholders are required to pay for. Paid-up capital, on the other hand, is the portion of called-up capital that has been fully paid by the shareholders. In summary, reserved capital is a specific portion of a company's capital that is set aside to cover any unforeseen expenses or liabilities that may arise during the liquidation process. It is only utilized at the time of liquidation and ensures that there are sufficient funds available to pay off any outstanding debts and obligations.

Subscription in advance is treated in the balance sheet as a

Awọn alaye Idahun

Subscription in advance is treated in the balance sheet as a current liability.
This is because subscription in advance represents money that has been paid by customers for products or services that will be delivered or rendered at a future date. Since the provision of these products or services has not yet occurred, the company has an obligation to fulfill this commitment in the future.
As a current liability, subscription in advance is considered a short-term obligation that is expected to be settled within the next operating cycle, typically within one year. It is categorized as a liability because the company owes a future performance to its customers.
On the balance sheet, current liabilities are listed under the liabilities section and represent obligations that are expected to be settled in the near future using current assets or by creating new liabilities. Examples of other current liabilities include accounts payable, accrued expenses, and short-term loans.
It is important for companies to accurately present subscription in advance as a current liability on the balance sheet, as it reflects the company's financial obligations and helps provide a clearer picture of its overall financial health and future cash flow obligations.

Capital for a profit making organization is generated through

Awọn alaye Idahun

Shares can be issued to the public for subscription. A lot of money can be raised to finance the operation of the business through the issue of new shares to members of the public.

Goodwill can be introduced when

Awọn alaye Idahun

The circumstances giving rise to the ascertainment of goodwill are:
- admission of a new partner
- change in profit sharing ratio
- death or retirement of a partner
- the business has been purchased
- dissolution of a business

The following are importance of branch account except

Awọn alaye Idahun

Branch accounts are important tools that assist organizations in effectively managing their branch operations. They provide valuable information about the performance and profitability of each branch. However, **the importance of branch accounts does not include allowing fraud and wastage of resources**. Let's look at the other three options: 1. **Assisting the organization to determine the performance of a branch manager**: Branch accounts help evaluate the performance of a branch manager by providing detailed financial information about their branch. This can include sales revenue, expenses, and profit or loss generated by the branch. By analyzing this information, the organization can assess how well the branch manager is managing their resources and achieving targets. 2. **Enabling the organization to determine the branch that is making either profit or loss**: Branch accounts provide clear insights into the profitability or loss incurred by each branch. This information is crucial for decision-making purposes, such as whether to allocate additional resources, close an unprofitable branch, or implement measures to improve the performance of a struggling branch. 3. **Allowing proper control over the branch by the head office**: Branch accounts facilitate effective control and oversight of branch operations by the head office. By maintaining detailed financial records, the head office can monitor the financial performance of each branch, identify any irregularities, and take corrective actions when needed. This control ensures that the overall functioning of the branches is aligned with the organization's objectives and policies. In summary, while branch accounts are instrumental in evaluating branch manager performance, determining profitability, and ensuring control over branch operations, they do not permit fraud or wastage of resources.

A part of public company's profit belonging to the shareholders is

Awọn alaye Idahun

The part of a public company's profit that belongs to the shareholders is called dividends. Dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders as a reward for owning its stock. They are usually distributed in the form of cash but can also be given as additional shares of stock. Dividends are a way for shareholders to earn a return on their investment. When a company earns a profit, it can choose to reinvest that money back into the business or distribute it to the shareholders. By receiving dividends, shareholders can directly benefit from the company's success. It is important to note that dividends are not guaranteed and can vary from year to year. The company's board of directors decides whether to declare dividends and how much to distribute based on factors such as profitability, financial health, and future growth prospects. Unlike dividends, the other options mentioned (right issue, bonus, and public issue) do not represent a share of the company's profit. A right issue is when a company offers its existing shareholders the right to buy additional shares at a discounted price. A bonus is an additional issue of shares given to existing shareholders as a way to increase their ownership percentage. A public issue refers to the process of offering shares to the general public for the first time during an initial public offering (IPO) or a subsequent public offering. In summary, dividends are the part of a public company's profit that is distributed to the shareholders as a way for them to earn a return on their investment.

Calculate the cost of raw materials consumed

Awọn alaye Idahun

To calculate the cost of raw materials consumed, we need to consider the stock of raw materials at the start of the year, any purchases made during the year, and the stock of raw materials at the end of the year. Given the following information: Stock on 1/1/16: ₦1,000 Purchases: ₦16,000 Stock on 31/12/16: ₦1,400 We can calculate the cost of raw materials consumed using the following formula: Cost of raw materials consumed = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock Substituting the values: Cost of raw materials consumed = ₦1,000 + ₦16,000 - ₦1,400 Simplifying the calculation: Cost of raw materials consumed = ₦16,600 Therefore, the cost of raw materials consumed is ₦16,600. So the correct answer is option: - ₦15,600

Dr. Sales Ledger Control Account . Cr
 

The amount ₦16,378.50 described as "Bank" represents

Awọn alaye Idahun

The amount ₦16,387.50 described as "Bank" in the Sales Ledger Control Account represents receipts from all debtors of the business.
In accounting, a Sales Ledger Control Account is used to keep track of the total amount owed by the customers (debtors) of a business. It is a summary account that consolidates all the individual customer accounts.
When a customer makes a payment, it is recorded as a receipt in the Sales Ledger Control Account. This includes payments received from both trade debtors (customers who owe money for credit sales) and cash sales (sales made in cash).
The ₦16,387.50 recorded as "Bank" in the Sales Ledger Control Account includes all the cash received from trade debtors as well as the cash sales made during the month, including any discounts given. Therefore, the correct answer is receipts from all debtors of the business.
It is important to note that the other options provided - receipts from trade debtors only, cash sales for the month including discount, and cash sales for the month excluding discount - are not accurate descriptions of the ₦16,387.50 recorded as "Bank" in the Sales Ledger Control Account.

The account where the profit are distributed to the partner in their profit sharing ratio in partnership

Awọn alaye Idahun

In a partnership, the account where the profit is distributed to the partners according to their profit sharing ratio is called the **appropriation account**. The appropriation account is a separate account created to record the distribution of profit among the partners. It is prepared after the preparation of the trading account, profit and loss account, and balance sheet. Here's a simple breakdown of the other options and their roles in the partnership: - The **trading account** is prepared to calculate the gross profit or loss of the partnership. It includes revenue from sales, cost of goods sold, and any other trading-related expenses. - The **profit and loss account** is prepared to determine the net profit or loss of the partnership. It includes all the operating expenses, such as salaries, rent, advertising, and depreciation. - The **balance sheet** is a financial statement that shows the financial position of the partnership at a specific point in time. It includes the assets, liabilities, and capital of the partnership. So, to summarize, while the trading account, profit and loss account, and balance sheet provide information about the overall financial performance and position of the partnership, the appropriation account specifically deals with the distribution of profit among the partners based on their profit sharing ratio.

The authority to transfer fund from one head to another within the same organization is called

Awọn alaye Idahun

The authority to transfer funds from one head to another within the same organization is called virement.
Virement is a process that allows organizations to shift money from one budget head to another. This transfer of funds is done to reallocate resources based on the changing needs and priorities of the organization.
For example, let's say an organization has allocated a certain amount of money for a particular project in their budget. However, during the course of the year, they realize that another project requires additional funding. Instead of going through a lengthy process of obtaining new funds, the organization can use virement to transfer money from the initial project's budget to the new project's budget.
Virement provides flexibility and allows organizations to make adjustments without having to seek additional approvals or go through administrative hurdles. It is an internal process that helps ensure efficient resource utilization within an organization.
In summary, virement is the authority to transfer funds from one head to another within the same organization. It allows for the reallocation of financial resources based on changing priorities and needs.

Awọn alaye Idahun

A control account is a summary account that represents a group of similar transactions or balances. It is used to simplify the management and analysis of a large number of individual accounts. The advantage of a control account is that it provides a way to monitor and track the overall balance or activity within a group of related accounts. It helps to ensure accuracy and identify any discrepancies or errors. Now, let's analyze the options provided one by one to determine which one is NOT an advantage of a control account: 1. **Difficulty in committing fraud**: This is indeed an advantage of a control account. By consolidating and summarizing the information from multiple accounts, it becomes more difficult for individuals to manipulate or misrepresent the data for fraudulent purposes. 2. **It can be used to detect missing figures**: This is also an advantage of a control account. By comparing the total balance of the control account with the sum of the individual accounts it represents, any missing figures or discrepancies can be easily identified. 3. **Helps to determine profit and loss**: This is another advantage of a control account. By summarizing the transactions related to revenue and expenses, a control account can provide an overview of the profit or loss generated by a particular area or department. 4. **Helps in locating errors**: This is also an advantage of a control account. By comparing the balances of the control account with the detailed records, any errors or discrepancies can be quickly identified and addressed. Based on the analysis of the options, it can be concluded that the **difficulty in committing fraud** is not an advantage of a control account. In fact, it is an advantage because it makes it more difficult for fraud to occur.

Determine the net profit

Awọn alaye Idahun

To determine the net profit, we need to calculate the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and deduct it from the net sales.
First, let's calculate the COGS: - Start with the stock on January 1st: 2,600 - Add purchases: 4,000 - Add carriage inwards: 500
Total Cost of Goods Available for Sale: 7,100
Next, let's calculate the net sales: - Total Sales: 9,000 - Deduct carriage outwards: 500
Net Sales: 8,500
Now, we can calculate the COGS by dividing the net sales by the total cost of goods available for sale and multiplying by 100: COGS = (COGS / Total Cost of Goods Available for Sale) * Net Sales
COGS = (7,100 / 8,500) * 100 COGS = 83.53%
Finally, we can calculate the net profit by deducting the COGS from the net sales: Net Profit = Net Sales - COGS
Net Profit = 8,500 - (8,500 * 0.8353) Net Profit = 8,500 - 7,098.75 Net Profit = 1,401.25
Therefore, the net profit is #1,401.25.
The correct answer is: #1,400

Which of the following is used to service all operations of government?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The option that is used to service all operations of government is **consolidated revenue fund**. The consolidated revenue fund is like a big pot where all the money collected by the government goes into. This includes the taxes that people and businesses pay, as well as other sources of revenue such as fees and fines. Once the money is in the consolidated revenue fund, it is then used to pay for various government expenses. This includes things like salaries of government employees, funding for public programs and services, and infrastructure projects like building roads and schools. The important thing to note is that the consolidated revenue fund is used to cover all aspects of government operations. It is the central source of income that allows the government to function and provide services to the public. Therefore, the correct option that is used to service all operations of government is the **consolidated revenue fund**.

Dairo and Segun are in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio 2:3 respectively. The information below relates to their business for the year ended 31st December, 2018.
 

- Interest on drawings 10%

- Interest on capital 5%

- Profit for the year ₦36,000

- Salary: Segun ₦10,000
Segun's share of profit is

Awọn alaye Idahun

Interest on drawings = 10%
- Dairo = 10% x 12,0000
= ₦1200
- Segun = 10% x 18,000
= ₦1800

Interest on capital = 5%
- Dairo = 5% x 120,000
= ₦6,000
- Segun = 5% x 60,000
=₦3,000

Salary: segun = ₦10,000

Segun's share of profit = (Net profit + int on drawings) - ( int on capital + segun salary )
= (36000 + 1200 + 1800) - ( 6000 + 3000 + 10000)
= 39000 - 19000
= 20,000

Total ratio = 2+ 3
= 5
Therefore, Segun share of profit = 3 /5 x 20000
= ₦12,000

The assumption that a business will continue to exist into the foreseeanle future is recognized by a concept called

Awọn alaye Idahun

The concept that recognizes the assumption of a business continuing to exist into the foreseeable future is called "going concern." This concept assumes that a business will not be liquidated or cease to operate in the near future. It is based on the belief that businesses are established with the intention of operating indefinitely, unless there is evidence to suggest otherwise. The "going concern" concept is important because it affects how a business's financial statements are prepared. When preparing financial statements, the assumption is made that the business will continue its operations and fulfill its commitments. This assumption allows the use of historical cost accounting, where assets and liabilities are recorded at their original cost. In simpler terms, the "going concern" concept basically means that when a business is being evaluated, it is assumed to be an ongoing entity with no immediate plans of shutting down. This assumption allows for consistent and reliable financial reporting, as it reflects the expectation that the business will continue its operations and meet its obligations in the future.

Which of the following is recorded in the folio column of the journal?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The folio column in a journal is used to record the page number or reference of the ledger account where the transaction is being posted. It helps in linking the journal entry to the specific account in the ledger. So, out of the given options, the **particulars of transactions** are recorded in the folio column of the journal. The particulars describe the details of the transaction, such as the accounts involved, the description of the transaction, and any additional information related to the transaction. The **date of entries** is usually recorded in a separate column in the journal to track when the transaction occurred. The option **all credit and cash sales transactions** is not directly related to the folio column. It is more about the type of transactions being recorded, not where they are being posted. Lastly, the **amount of money posted** is typically recorded in the respective debit or credit column of the journal, depending on whether it is a debit or credit transaction. Overall, the folio column in the journal is specifically used for recording the reference to the relevant account in the ledger where the transaction is being posted.

Factory overheads are also known as indirect cost. This term refers to the expenses incurred in a factory that cannot be directly attributed to the production of a specific product or service. These costs include items such as factory rent, utilities, depreciation of factory equipment, and indirect labor costs. Unlike direct manufacturing expenses, which are directly tied to the production process, factory overheads contribute to the overall manufacturing process but are not directly traceable to a specific product.

The effect of transaction when cash is paid into the bank is?

Awọn alaye Idahun

When cash is paid into the bank, the effect on the transaction is that **the bank balance increases and the cash balance decreases**. Let's break it down step by step: 1. When cash is paid into the bank, we are essentially depositing money into our bank account. This means that the money is moving from our possession (cash balance) to the bank. 2. As the cash balance decreases, our bank balance increases. The bank keeps track of the money we deposit and adds it to our account balance. So, to summarize, when cash is paid into the bank, the bank balance increases because the bank is receiving the money, and the cash balance decreases because we no longer have the cash in our possession.

The main purpose of transaction file is?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The main purpose of a transaction file is to **record the individual transactions** that occur within an organization. It serves as a **detailed record** of all the financial activities and events that take place, including the buying and selling of goods and services, making payments and receiving payments, and any other actions that involve the organization's finances. The transaction file is important because it allows for the **accurate and up-to-date tracking** of changes in assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Each transaction is recorded with specific details, such as the date, amount, parties involved, and the specific accounts that are affected. By **updating the master files** (which contain information about accounts, customers, products, etc.) based on the transactions recorded in the transaction file, the organization can maintain accurate and reliable information for decision-making and financial reporting purposes. In summary, the main purpose of a transaction file is to **record individual financial transactions** and use that information to **update master files** and provide an accurate and complete picture of an organization's financial activities. It is a crucial tool for effectively managing and understanding an organization's financial position.

Which of the following concepts recognizes the principle of double entry?

Awọn alaye Idahun

The concept that recognizes the principle of double entry is **dual aspect**. In simple terms, double entry accounting is a system that records all financial transactions for a business in at least two different accounts. These accounts are known as the debit and credit side. The dual aspect concept is based on the idea that every transaction has two effects - it affects one account by debiting it and another account by crediting it. For example, let's say a company receives cash for the sale of a product. In this transaction, the company's cash account is increased (debited) because it receives cash, and its sales revenue account is increased (credited) because it generates revenue from the sale. By following the dual aspect concept, all financial transactions are recorded in a systematic way, ensuring that the accounting equation remains in balance. The accounting equation states that assets equal liabilities plus equity. This means that for every debit entry, there must be an equal and opposite credit entry, keeping the equation in equilibrium. The dual aspect concept is essential for accurate financial reporting and allows businesses to track their assets, liabilities, and equity in a structured and reliable manner. It helps ensure the integrity and completeness of financial information.

Which of the following is charged to trading account?

Awọn alaye Idahun

A trading account is a financial statement that shows the profit or loss of a business through its trading activities. It includes all the revenues and expenses directly related to the buying and selling of goods. Out of the options provided, the expenses that are charged to the trading account are: 1. Carriage Inwards: Carriage inwards refers to the transportation costs incurred in bringing goods into the business. It can include expenses such as freight charges, import duties, and handling fees. These expenses are directly related to the purchase of goods and are considered a part of the cost of inventory. Hence, carriage inwards is charged to the trading account. 2. Carriage Outwards: Carriage outwards refers to the transportation costs incurred in delivering goods from the business to the customers. It includes expenses such as delivery charges, packaging costs, and shipping fees. Carriage outwards is not directly related to the purchase of goods but is rather an expense incurred in selling them. Therefore, carriage outwards is not charged to the trading account. 3. Rent: Rent refers to the cost of occupying a property for business purposes. Rent is not directly related to the buying and selling of goods, but rather to the use of the premises where the business operates. Hence, rent is not charged to the trading account. 4. Discount Allowed: Discount allowed represents the reduction in the selling price of goods given to customers as an incentive or reward. It is a reduction in revenue and does not directly relate to the cost of inventory or the buying and selling of goods. Therefore, discount allowed is not charged to the trading account. In summary, the expenses that are charged to the trading account are carriage inwards. Rent, discount allowed, and carriage outwards are not charged to the trading account as they are not directly related to the buying and selling of goods.

Which of the following is found on the credit side of a profit and loss account?

Awọn alaye Idahun

On the credit side of a profit and loss account, we can find items that generate income or gains for a business. Let's discuss each option and determine whether it belongs on the credit side or not. - **Advertising:** Advertising expenses are costs incurred to promote products or services. These expenses reduce a company's income or profits and are recorded on the debit side of the profit and loss account. Therefore, advertising does not belong on the credit side. - **Dividend received:** Dividends received are income earned by a company from its investments in other companies. Dividend income increases a company's overall income or profits and is recorded on the credit side of the profit and loss account. So, dividends received are found on the credit side. - **Wages and salaries:** Wages and salaries represent the compensation paid to employees for their work. These expenses are considered as costs incurred to generate revenue and are recorded on the debit side of the profit and loss account. Therefore, wages and salaries do not belong on the credit side. - **Bank charges:** Bank charges are fees or costs that a company incurs for various banking services, such as transaction fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These charges reduce a company's income or profits and are recorded on the debit side of the profit and loss account. Therefore, bank charges do not belong on the credit side. In conclusion, out of the given options, only **dividend received** will be found on the credit side of a profit and loss account.

The authority warrant issued prior to the approval of the appropriate bill at the begining of the year

Awọn alaye Idahun

The correct answer is **provisional general warrant**. A provisional general warrant is issued by the authority at the beginning of the year to allow for the necessary expenses before the approval of the appropriate bill. It serves as a temporary authorization to spend money until the formal annual general warrant is approved. The purpose of this warrant is to ensure that essential and urgent expenditures can be made in a timely manner, even without the formal approval of the bill. It helps to prevent delays in government operations and ensures that necessary services are not interrupted due to the lack of a finalized budget. The provisional general warrant is not a long-term solution, and it is eventually replaced by the annual general warrant once the bill is approved. The annual general warrant provides a more comprehensive and detailed allocation of funds for the entire fiscal year. In summary, the provisional general warrant allows for necessary expenses at the beginning of the year until the appropriate bill is approved, ensuring the smooth operation of government services.

Dairo and Segun are in partnership sharing profits and losses in the ratio 2:3 respectively. The information below relates to their business for the year ended 31st December, 2018.

- Interest on capital 5%

- Profit for the year ₦36,000

- Salary: Segun ₦10,000

The interest on Dairo's drawings is

Awọn alaye Idahun

To calculate the interest on Dairo's drawings, we need to find out the total drawings made by Dairo during the year. Dairo's drawings: ₦12,000 Now, let's calculate the interest on Dairo's drawings using the formula: Interest on Drawings = Drawings * Rate of Interest Given: Rate of Interest = 10% Interest on Dairo's drawings = ₦12,000 * 10% = ₦1,200 Therefore, the interest on Dairo's drawings is ₦1,200.

Which of the following is not charged to manufacturing account?

Awọn alaye Idahun

In a manufacturing process, various expenses are incurred for producing goods. These expenses can be classified into two categories: direct expenses and indirect expenses. Direct expenses are those expenses that are directly related to the production process and can be easily identified with a specific product or job. They are charged to the manufacturing account because they directly contribute to the cost of production. Examples of direct expenses include raw materials, factory wages, and direct expenses. On the other hand, indirect expenses are those expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a specific product or job. These expenses are incurred to facilitate the overall manufacturing process but cannot be easily allocated to a specific product. Indirect expenses, such as distribution expenses, are not charged directly to the manufacturing account. Instead, they are accounted for separately in the general expenses or overhead account. Coming back to the question, out of the given options, **distribution expenses** is not charged to the manufacturing account. Distribution expenses include costs incurred for storing, packaging, and transporting finished goods to customers. While these expenses are essential for selling and distributing the products, they are not directly related to the manufacturing process itself. Therefore, they are not included in the manufacturing account, which focuses solely on the cost of production. In summary, raw materials, factory wages, and direct expenses are all charged to the manufacturing account because they directly contribute to the cost of production. Distribution expenses, on the other hand, are not charged to the manufacturing account as they are considered indirect expenses related to the selling and distribution of finished goods.

What is the value of the indirect manufacturing cost?

Awọn alaye Idahun

Indirect cost = 880 + 800 + 18000 + 620

One of the options below have the same features as the profit and loss account in non-profit organization

Awọn alaye Idahun

In a non-profit organization, the income and expenses are recorded in a specific financial statement called the "income and expenditure account." This account is similar to the profit and loss account in a profit-oriented organization because it serves the same purpose of tracking financial activities and determining the financial position of the organization.
Just like the profit and loss account, the income and expenditure account shows the income and expenses of the non-profit organization over a specific period. It helps to calculate whether the organization has made a surplus (income exceeding expenses) or a deficit (expenses exceeding income).
The income and expenditure account: - Records all the revenues and gains received by the non-profit organization during a particular period, including donations, grants, membership fees, and program revenues. - Itemizes all the expenses and losses incurred by the organization, such as salaries, rent, utilities, insurance, and other operational costs. - Calculates the net surplus or deficit by subtracting the total expenses from the total income. A surplus indicates that the organization has generated more income than it has spent, while a deficit suggests that the expenses have exceeded the income. - Provides valuable insights into the overall financial health and sustainability of the non-profit organization.
Therefore, of the given options, income and expenditure account is the one that shares the same features as the profit and loss account in a non-profit organization.

The amount of sales for the year is calculated using the formula: Opening Debtors + Sales - Cash received from debtors - Closing Debtors + Bad debts written off + Discount allowed - Discount received. Plugging in the given values, we get: 4000 + Sales - 8500 - 1500 + 350 + 500 - 1000 = Sales. Solving for Sales, we get Sales = 6850.
