They want me to prepare a trial balance using this figures but I am not balancing at all. I've done my Balance sheet using the information. Please help. Thank you.

Hi Rehmanvora,

Thank you for answering but if you try to calculate again the Credit side it will only total for 34125?

It appears that you are omitting net profit £5200, which must be included in the trial balance.

Thank you, yeah I have omitted the net profit £5200, as I was not sure if it is to be included in Trial Balance. Thank you for the help :)
