Explanation
The payables ledger balance should be reported as a current liability because it represents the amount owed by the company to its creditors. This balance includes the total of the list of balances, which is $46,538 credit, and it indicates the amount that the company needs to pay to its suppliers and vendors. As a liability, this amount is considered a current liability because it is expected to be paid within the next accounting period. Therefore, the correct answer is $46,538 as a current liability.

Therefore, correcting the error does not change the balance on the suspense account.

- A.
  
  $72,273
- B.

- C.
  
  $76,961
- D.
  
  $81,649
Correct Answer
B. $75,355

Explanation
Arnold's balance sheet for trade payables should report an amount of $75,355. This is calculated by subtracting the amount of the duplicate invoice ($4,688) and adding the omitted payments ($1,606) to the balance on the payables control account ($76,961). Therefore, the correct amount to be reported is $76,961 - $4,688 + $1,606 = $75,355.
