OMG :O
Listen!
Goodwill has a value ofcurz!
It comes FIRST in the Fixed Assets list -_-
But most of the time, the goodwill account is written off so it doesnt feature in the balance sheet!
No value? o_O
What is wrong with u lol :p
I know it has value, obviously, and since in our syllabus goodwill accounts aren't present that means we don't have to worry about it being in balance sheet ;)

You COULD also say that anything that increases debtors goes in debit (from the trial balance) and vice versa (for SLC)

See..first of all, to calculate credit sales..you need to make a debtor's account.
You have been given the opening and closing balance rght?
wait..il do it on a word and attach it fr u :)

Okay see :)

First..calculate total credit deposits.
You can do that by taking the total deposits and reducing it by cash sales :)
Then add the closing stock of debtors and less it with the opening stock :p
that's it :)

Credit Sales = Receipts from Debtors + Difference in Trade Receivables (i.e. +Closing - Opening)
(+Bad Debts + Discount Received)

I tried the sum with the ledger but its coming wrong!
Why is that happening? :/
Have I written the opening and closing balance on the wrong sides? o_O

this is for the credit sales:
receipts from debtors
less debtors at the beginning
plus debtors at the end
you ll get the credit sales
and if the cash sales is given deduct it from the debtors receipts
