Your current entries for R Banda, E Tobwa, and C Chola accounts are incorrect. When a debtor pays their account, their individual account in the ledger should be credited to reduce the amount they owe. The debit side of their account would show the original amount they owed. The Rent account is an expense, so it is debited when paid.

Here are the corrected and completed ledger accounts:

Step 1: Correct R Banda Account. R Banda's original debt was K2,240,000. They paid K2,128,000 and received a discount of K112,000.

\hline Date & Particulars & Dr (K) & Date & Particulars & Cr (K) \\ \hline Mar 1 & Balance b/d & 2,240,000.00 & Mar 2 & Bank & 2,128,000.00 \\ & & & Mar 2 & Discount Allowed & 112,000.00 \\ \hline Totals & & 2,240,000.00 & Totals & & 2,240,000.00 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ **Step 2: Correct E Tobwa Account.** E Tobwa's original debt was K3,520,000. They paid K3,344,000 and received a discount of K176,000. $$\begin{array}{|l|l|r||l|l|r|} \hline Date & Particulars & Dr (K) & Date & Particulars & Cr (K) \\ \hline Mar 1 & Balance b/d & 3,520,000.00 & Mar 2 & Bank & 3,344,000.00 \\ & & & Mar 2 & Discount Allowed & 176,000.00 \\ \hline Totals & & 3,520,000.00 & Totals & & 3,520,000.00 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ **Step 3: Correct C Chola Account.** C Chola's original debt was K4,800,000. They paid K4,560,000 and received a discount of K240,000. $$\begin{array}{|l|l|r||l|l|r|} \hline Date & Particulars & Dr (K) & Date & Particulars & Cr (K) \\ \hline Mar 1 & Balance b/d & 4,800,000.00 & Mar 2 & Bank & 4,560,000.00 \\ & & & Mar 2 & Discount Allowed & 240,000.00 \\ \hline Totals & & 4,800,000.00 & Totals & & 4,800,000.00 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ **Step 4: Complete Rent Account.** Rent of K1,920,000 was paid through the bank on March 4. $$\begin{array}{|l|l|r||l|l|r|} \hline Date & Particulars & Dr (K) & Date & Particulars & Cr (K) \\ \hline Mar 4 & Bank & 1,920,000.00 & Mar 31 & Balance c/d & 1,920,000.00 \\ \hline Totals & & 1,920,000.00 & Totals & & 1,920,000.00 \\ \hline Apr 1 & Balance b/d & 1,920,000.00 & & & \\ \hline \end{array}$$
