ABET ENCOURAGE Co. has several branches. On December 31, 20x1, the “Home office” account maintained by Alpha

by the latter. Alpha Branch was not notified of the intended shipment.
b. The home office charged Charlie Branch for a ₱64,000 shipment which was actually sent to Alpha Branch. Alpha
Branch retained the shipment.
c. The home office erroneously recorded a remittance for ₱20,000 from its Delta Branch as coming from Alpha Branch.
d. Utilities expense of ₱16,000 that is allocable to Echo Branch was recorded by the home office in Alpha Branch’s
account. Alpha Branch has inappropriately recorded the related debit memo from the home office.
