To correct the entries related to the discounts, we first need to understand the errors made:
1. The **Discount Received** amount ($842) was incorrectly posted to the **Discount Received Account**.
2. The **Discount Allowed** amount ($613) was incorrectly posted to the **Discount Allowed Account**.
Now let's look at the current accounts:
- The **Discount Received Account** has an incorrect amount ($842), which should instead reflect the value of $613 originally supposed to be posted for discounts allowed.
- The **Discount Allowed Account** has an incorrect amount of $613, which should instead reflect the amount of $842 originally supposed to be posted for discounts received.
To correct these errors, we need to:
- Remove the incorrect amount from the **Discount Received Account** and post it to the **Discount Allowed Account**.
- Remove the incorrect amount from the **Discount Allowed Account** and post it to the **Discount Received Account**.
The amount that needs to be moved between the accounts due to the errors is the difference between the two amounts ($842 and $613), which is $229.
Therefore, the correct entries to adjust for these errors would be:
- **Debit Discount Received Account ($229)** to reduce the incorrect amount in that account.
- **Credit Discount Allowed Account ($229)** to reduce the incorrect amount posted in that account.
Thus, the correct entries to correct the errors are:
- **Debit Discount Received Account ($229)**
- **Credit Discount Allowed Account ($229)**
The correct answer from the provided options is:
- **Debit Discount Received Account ($229)**
- **Credit Discount Allowed Account ($229)**.
