PART A
The following list of balances was extracted from the
books of Mark Smith at 31 December 2021, the sole trader’s year end
date. The bookkeeper was unable to extract the figure for the
Capital account before catching the flu and having to take sick
leave. However, the bookkeeper assured that all the other account
balances are correct, which means that extracting trial balance
will be able to solve the 'missing' Capital account
balance.
