Bertrand Incorporated purchased some shop equipment for $4,500 in cash. By mistake, the journal entry debited the Office Equipment account rather than the Shop Equipment account. What correcting entry would be necessary

Sagot :

the correcting entry that would fix the error of debiting the Office equipment account is Debit Shop Equipment $4,500 and credit Office Equipment $4,500.

how can the accounting error be corrected?

the way to correct this error is to take the purchase from the office equipment account and put it into the shop equipment account.

as the office equipment account is an asset, you should credit it to remove it. the shop equipment account should then be debited by the same amount of $4,500.
