What helps is to journalize the transactions and then post them to T-accounts (general ledger accounts). Then do the a-e transactions as adjusting entries into the T-accounts. The ending balances will be what goes on the adjusted trial balance. If you can tell me what you don't understand I can help you. But, I won't do your homework for you because you don't learn that way.

I agree with... hang on, need to scroll up... mh34.

What values do you have for the T-accounts. No one really wants to go and journalize all those entries for you. It's kind of boring.

Show us the values of the T-acounts, Cash=100-50+150=200, etc. and it would make it much easier for us to tell you where you went wrong.

I used my adjusted trial balance numbers.

Your balance sheet seems to be based on your adjusted trial balance numbers, which appears to be wrong. You have supplies valued at 665 instead of 1320 for example.
