The debit column is $800 bigger, so it makes sense to put $800 in the suspense account.

Wait, I'm not sure. If the debit total is $800 more, wouldn't the suspense account entry be a debit of $800 to make the totals equal? I need to think this through more carefully.

I've got this! The question is asking for the entry in the suspense account, and since the debit total is $800 more, the suspense account entry must be a credit of $800 to balance the books.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. If the debit total is $800 more, wouldn't the suspense account entry be a debit of $800 to balance it out?

Okay, let me think this through. The total debit is $800 more than the total credit, so the entry in the suspense account must be a credit of $800 to balance the books.

This seems like a straightforward question about the key responsibilities of a Service Desk Manager. I'll carefully read through the options and choose the one that best matches the description.

I'm not totally sure about this one. Could it be the Business Architecture phase? I'll have to review my notes to see where the building blocks become more specific.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B, but I'm not 100% confident. I'll make a note to double-check this one before submitting my exam.
