I really don't have any idea what of this was part of the problem, or if any of this is your work. Did you do the journal entries and posting to the ledger accounts? If so, do you know already if it's correct? (Someone checked it, etc?)

The only question is see is about the cash balance. Things on the same side add. Things on opposite sides subtract. Cash is a debit account, so debits are going to add and credits are going to subtract. Just do the math.
