By doing so, the expensesare increased and the resultant profit is reduced. Really speaking, the wages paid for construction, being a part and parcel of building account, should have been debitedtobuildingaccount.Thereforetorectifythiserror,buildingaccountshouldbedebitedand wages account should be credited so that building accountgets enhanced and wages account getsreduced.SuchrectificationentriesaredrawninJournalproper.Moredetailsareavailablein Unit6.
