(c) The branch mistakenly received a copy of the home office correcting entry for item (b) above dated January 3, 20x2 and entered a credit in favor of the home office on December 31, 20x1. (d) The branch mistakenly sent the home office a debit memo amounting to P12,000 for an apparent remittance of collections which did not happen. The home office did not record the debit memo. REQUIREMENT: How much is the net adjustment to the "Home office" account? increase (decrease)
