During posting, a purchase of ₦45,000 was mistakenly debited to Purchases Returns instead of Purchases. A sales return of ₦12,000 was omitted from Sales Returns, although the corresponding credit to Sales was recorded correctly. The trial balance after posting shows: Purchases ₦210,000 (debit), Purchases Returns ₦15,000 (debit), Sales ₦300,000 (credit), Sales Returns ₦0 (credit), Suspense Account ₦3,000 (debit). Total debits equal total credits ₦528,000. Determine the amount that must be transferred from the Suspense Account to correct the trial balance, and give the corrected balances of Purchases Returns and Sales Returns.
