    Explanation:

    X City made an order for goods worth $550,000 and when the goods were received the invoice states $551,000. The company should indicate in the invoice the correct amount received and work with that.

    On receipt of the goods we debit Budgetary Fund Balance - - Reserve for Encumbrances for $550,000 (the correct value of goods received).
