A commission of #5000 to a sales manager was debited to debtors account. This is an error of
- commission
-
principle
- original entry
- compensation
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
This type of error occurs when a fundamental accounting rule or concept is violated. In this case, debiting a commission (an expense) to the debtors account (an asset account) goes against the basic principles of double- entry bookkeeping. Debtors accounts represent money owed by customers, and commissions are not related to customer debts.
