Ah, the joys of bookkeeping. I wonder if the exam makers are trying to trip us up with these 'hidden' errors. Better double-check my work!

Wait, did they just say 'VAT at 17.5%'? What is this, a British tax exam? *chuckles* Anyway, better focus on the task at hand.

Alright, let's see... Deducting cash discount, entering the right amounts in the right accounts. Sounds like a classic accounting puzzle. Time to put on my thinking cap!
