Sep 18: Bought a Machinery from Brown Ltd. to use in the company. The total purchasing value of
the machine is £1,800. The owner paid £100 cash, £500 by issuing a cheque and rest of
the purchasing value would remain as credit.
Sep 26 The owner paid half of the machinery debt to Brown Ltd. by issuing a cheque.
Sep 28: The owner paid £130 an insurance bill via cheque thinking that it was in respect of the
business. We now discover that £70 of the amount paid was in fact insurance of our private
house.
