| For number 5 your debits and credits are not equal. For number 7 you are using the wrong amount. You need to use the difference between 7,900 and 3,367 to get your ending account balance to 7,900 There is nothing listed about Income Tax so I do not know if this is required, or if the amount is right. The rest of your entries look correct except I do not know what the ent followed by the number means. Just a note: On this site the formatting for journal entries will not work right so your entries will look confusing, so it is best just to put Debit, Credit, Dr, or Cr before your entries so that members can understand the entry. For an example: Debit Cash for 10,000 Credit Pready - Capital for 10,000 This lets the reader know what account was debited and what account was credited. | ||||

| In your first post on number 5 I misread what your debits and credits were. By looking at it again your Debit was to Property Tax Expense and your Credits were to Factory Overhead and Property Taxes Payable. The way I would record number 5 is: Debit Property Tax Expense for 137.36 (for general) Debit Factory Overhead for 485 Credit Property Taxes Payable for 622.26 | ||||
