Question

A $22 credit to sales was posted as a $220 credit by what amount is the sales account in error

Answer 1

i think i read the question right. I think they would be out $198

Answer 2

$198

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided in the question

Credit to sales = $22

But wrongly posted as a $220 credit

Since the right amount is $22 credited but it wrongly posted as a $220 credited

So the difference is to be shown as the sales account error

Sales account in error = Wrong amount - correct amount

= $220 - $22

= $198

By deducting the correct amount from the wrong amount we can determine the sales account in error amount
