Concept:
Find the missing credit sales using the debtors control account equation.
Explanation:
Opening debtors balance = ₦25,000.
Cheques received from debtors = ₦255,000.
Closing debtors balance = ₦15,000.
Debtors control account:
Opening debtors
+
Credit sales
−
Cheques received
=
Closing debtors
\text{Opening debtors} + \text{Credit sales} - \text{Cheques received} = \text{Closing debtors}
Opening debtors
+
Credit sales
−
Cheques received
=
Closing debtors
So:
Credit sales
=
Closing debtors
+
Cheques received
−
Opening debtors
\text{Credit sales} = \text{Closing debtors} + \text{Cheques received} - \text{Opening debtors}
Credit sales
=
Closing debtors
+
Cheques received
−
Opening debtors
