  2. Total telephone expenses were recorded at GH¢800 above their correct amount, although the total value of the amounts payable was correctly recorded.
  3. Purchase returns of GH¢440 were recorded as a debit entry in the sales returns account, but the correct entry had been made in the trade payables control account.
  4. Equipment costing GH¢1,600 had been recorded as a debit entry in the repairs and maintenance account.
  5. Rental expenses of GH¢4,392 were entered incorrectly as GH¢4,932 in the expense account but were entered correctly in the bank account in the ledger.
