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.

business. We now discover that £70 of the amount paid was in fact insurance of our private
house.
