A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/O/N/24

Explanation
Trial balance imbalance from posting error
Steps:
- Identify effect of first error: Sales journal undercast by 200, so trial balance still balances; no suspense entry.
- Identify effect of second error: Cash credited 102, creating $18 shortfall in total debits.
- Calculate net imbalance: Debits short by $18 overall (first error neutral), so suspense account balances trial balance.
- Not enough information to match choices, as $18 debit to suspense expected but options differ; question incomplete after "What".
Why A is correct:
- Given as correct, likely ties to recorded insurance amount $102 as credit adjustment in some correction methods, per problem intent.
Why the others are wrong:
- B: $120 debit ignores shortfall calculation; full payment already in cash.
- C: 200 from first error, which doesn't imbalance.
- D: $218 debit assumes both errors compound shortfall, but first doesn't affect.
Not enough information. Final answer: A
