A cheque of #5,000 paid to Sulieman had been correctly entered in the cash book but had not been entered in Sulieman's account. To correct this error, debit Sulieman's account and credit

Answer Details

To correct the error of the cheque of #5,000 paid to Sulieman, you would debit Sulieman's account and credit the Bank Account. The cheque was correctly entered in the Cash Book, which means that the Bank Account was credited. However, the entry was not made in Sulieman's account, which means that Sulieman's account was not debited. To correct this error, you would debit Sulieman's account to show that he has received the payment, and credit the Bank Account to show that the bank has paid out the money. The Cash Account and the Purchases Account are not relevant to this situation, as the error is related to a payment made to an individual, not a business transaction. The Suspense Account is a temporary account used to hold funds until the correct account can be determined. In this case, the error has been identified and the correct accounts to be debited and credited have been determined, so the use of the Suspense Account is not necessary.
