1. **State the problem:** A rent payment was recorded as 650 instead of 560, causing a credit surplus in the trial balance. 2. **Identify the error:** The error amount is the difference between recorded and actual rent payment: $$650 - 560 = 90$$ 3. **Correction principle:** To correct a credit surplus, debit the credit suspended account and credit the rent account by the error amount. 4. **Apply correction:** Debit suspended account $90 and credit rent $90: $$\text{DR Suspended Account } 90$$ $$\text{CR Rent } 90$$ 5. **Match with options:** Option 3 states: CR rent $90 DR suspended account $90, which matches the correction needed. **Final answer:** Option 3 is correct.
