Solution

To prepare and balance off Anyango’s M-Pesa Cash account at 31 March 2018, we need to record all the transactions in a T-account.

Here's how:

Step 1: Start with the opening balance on March 1, 2018, which is Sh 7,050.

Step 2: Record all the transactions.

  • On the debit side (outflows), record the following:

    • March 2: Bought goods for sales from Patel, Sh 1,000
    • March 5: Paid rent, Sh 500
    • March 23: Took cash for personal use, Sh 750
    • March 24: Paid Patel, Sh 800
    • March 29: Paid for advertising posters, Sh 300
  • On the credit side (inflows), record the following:

    • March 14: Received a loan from Wamama Table banking, Sh 4,500
    • March 16: Business sale, Sh 3,300
    • March 26: Business sales on credit to Okal, Sh 1,800

Step 3: Sum up the debit and credit sides separately.

Step 4: Subtract the total debit from the total credit to find the balance.

Step 5: Record the balance on the side that is larger. If the credit side is larger, the balance is a credit balance. If the debit side is larger, the balance is a debit balance.

Please note that the transaction on March 26 (Business sales on credit to Okal, Sh 1,800) should not be included in the cash account as it is a credit transaction, not a cash transaction.

Let's calculate:

Opening balance: Sh 7,050

Total Debits (outflows): Sh 1,000 (goods) + Sh 500 (rent) + Sh 750 (personal use) + Sh 800 (Patel) + Sh 300 (posters) = Sh 3,350

Total Credits (inflows): Sh 4,500 (loan) + Sh 3,300 (sales) = Sh 7,800

Closing balance (Opening balance + Total Credits - Total Debits): Sh 7,050 + Sh 7,800 - Sh 3,350 = Sh 11,500

So, the balance of Anyango’s M-Pesa Cash account at 31 March 2018 is Sh 11,500.
