Hello Carolyn,
Firstly I can relate to what you are saying in regards to the discrepancies in this book, for example Question 71 if you have not already attempted this, the question leaves out the closing stock balance, it just simply reads:
Stock of materials as at 31 March 2007-07-30
Which left me confused for hours, eventually I had to peek and look at the answer just so i could discover what the closing balance was to continue with the trading, profit & loss section.
Back to your question though:
Having just gone over your question the answer I got was the answer given in the answer section; £8331 with £5631 B/d
The amounts in the question for Creditor Lutyens (in the book in front of me) were:
E Lutyens £5,481 - Creditors at 1 Jan 20X9
Lutyens 2,850 from the PDB
Lutyens 2,700 from CPB
Assuming that these are the same amounts as you have then maybe just double check your totals which I hate to say as it sounds so patronising! lol 
Intentional or not the errors in the book, I believe work to improve bookkeeping skills as it will always be a beneficial to know a mistake when you see one but in terms of confidence, imagine how the editors must feel!
Hope this helps!
