The subsidiary sales ledger listed customer balances as follows (all debit): A ₦45,000, B ₦30,000, C ₦55,000, D ₦20,000, E ₦40,000. During the year a cash receipt of ₦15,000 was mistakenly posted as a credit to the SLC instead of the Cash Book, and a sales return of ₦10,000 that should have been debited to the SLC was omitted.
