Answer 1

Qn 1
Repayment of bank loan by direct debit means you didn't issue a cheque but the amt was deducted in your bank statement, as if you had written a cheque. So when you've rec'd the bank statement and know the actual amt deducted, you'd:
Dr Loan repayable 367.50
Cr Cash at bank 367.50

Qn 2
You short paid Alpine thinking you were given a discount but you weren't. So now you have to pay Alpine the amt which you had earlier withheld from payment. Assuming your original purchases were, say, 485, originally you must have:
Dr Purchases 485.00
Cr A/cs payable 485.00

Then when you thought you had a (10%) discount, you must have:
Dr A/cs payable 48.5
Cr Discount received 48.5

and when you made payment, you must have:
Dr A/cs payable 436.50
Cr Cash 436.50

Now you're told you didn't get the discount. So you should:
Dr Discount received 48.5
Cr A/cs payable 48.5
(to reverse the discount)

and when you make payment of the 48.50, you'd:
Dr A/cs payable 48.5
Cr Cash 48.5

Answer 2

1st transaction - Dr loan account £367.50, Cr bank £367.50 2nd transaction - Dr expense account £48.50, this is probably purchases as you have understated this expense due to the discount. Cr Suppliers account £48.50 3rd transaction - pay the supplier the discount disallowed of £48.50 Dr creditor £48.50 Cr bank £48.50 Is your company VAT registered? If so is the supplier? If yes to both then there will be VAT in the £48.50 so you should revise transaction 2 to be:- Dr Expense account 41.28 DR VAT control 7.22 Cr Suppliers account 48.50
