Question:The debit side of a trial balance totals $50 more than the credit side.
  Which one of the following could this be due to?
  A. a purchase of goods for $50 being omitted from the payables control account
  B. a sale of goods for $50 being omitted from the receivables control account
  C. an invoice of $25 for electricity being credited to the electricity account
  D. a receipt for $50 from a customer being omitted from the cash book
  The correct answer is: a purchase of goods for $50 being omitted from the payables control account.
  解析'A sale of goods for $50 being omitted from the receivables control account' and 'an invoice of $25 for electricity being credited to the electricity account' would make the credit side $50 higher.
  'A receipt for $50 from a customer being omitted from the cash book' would have no effect.
