Cost of sales account Incorrect trial balance is 297 829.25 Dr how do we calculate the recommended adjustments column if there is a scenario that also states Drawings by the owner amounting to R6 304.08 (selling price including VAT) was recorded by debiting the Cost of sales account and crediting the Trading inventory account with the correct cost price?

The problem states that the Cost of Sales account was debited with the selling price including VAT.

Drawings of inventory should be recorded by debiting the Drawings account and crediting the Trading Inventory account (at cost price). The Cost of Sales account should not be affected by drawings of inventory. Therefore, the correct entry to Cost of Sales for this transaction should have been R0.

Since the Cost of Sales account was incorrectly debited with R6 304.08, and it should have had no entry, we need to reverse this incorrect debit. To reverse a debit, a credit entry is required.

Therefore, the recommended adjustment for the Cost of Sales account is a credit of R6 304.08. This will remove the incorrect debit from the account.
