I feel like the payment to Mr. Tan being posted incorrectly is definitely one of the adjustments we need to make.

I think the salaries not being posted is a big deal, but I can't recall if that means we need to adjust for (b) or (e).

I remember we practiced a similar question about posting errors, but I'm not sure if I got the adjustments right this time.

Okay, let's see. The key seems to be identifying the errors in the trial balance and making the necessary corrections. I'll need to analyze each of the three issues mentioned.

I bet Monchu is regretting suggesting those adjustments now. Probably should have just let the accountants handle it instead of trying to be a hero. Oh well, at least it's an interesting question!

Wait, where's the option for (d)? Monchu suggested that, so it must be part of the correct answer. I'm going with (b), (d), and (f) just to be safe.

I'm not sure why the question is so complicated. Shouldn't we just go with (b) and (f) to correct the errors? That seems like the most straightforward approach to me.

Haha, Armits must be a really forgetful guy to have that remittance credited to his account instead of Arumugam's. (b) and (f) are the correct entries to fix that and the salary issue.

The payment to Mr. Tan being posted as 325 instead of 352 is clearly an error, so (a) is the correct entry to correct this. Salaries of 12000 not being posted from the cash book is also an error, so (e) is the correct entry. I agree with Monchu's suggested adjustments.
