During the preparation of a trial balance, the total debits amount to \(\text{₦}452{,}000\) and the total credits amount to \(\text{₦}447{,}000\). Two adjusting entries are then posted: (i) Accrued salaries of \(\text{₦}3{,}200\) (debit Salaries Expense, credit Salaries Payable) and (ii) Prepaid rent of \(\text{₦}1{,}500\) (debit Prepaid Rent, credit Rent Expense). After these entries the trial balance still does not balance. It is discovered that a single entry was mistakenly recorded as a debit to the Purchases ledger when it should have been a credit. Determine the amount of that erroneous entry.
