The Ledger of the Vanthorpe Touring Players

≈ 4 min

The Vanthorpe Touring Players have completed their autumn 1908 provincial run and Mr. Clement Rudd, the company manager, has submitted a costume and prop expense ledger to the touring syndicate, Harcastle & Doyle Productions, seeking full reimbursement for outfitting costs incurred across the season. Harcastle & Doyle Productions reimburse all verified expenditure on costumes and props, and four supporting records have been collected from suppliers, the wardrobe mistress, and the company's own dispatch receipts. The syndicate's clerk has flagged the ledger for independent audit before authorising payment. You are asked to identify which line of the ledger cannot be reconciled with the supporting records.
