You could start by posting your journal entries and we'll check them for you. Once they are right, you can post them and come up with your adjusted trial balance. If you'll do that and need help, we'll go from there. Thanks.

a) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra-asset account. What that means is that Accounts Receivable is an asset, and the allowance subtracts from it. To increase an asset, you debit it. To increase a contra-asset, you credit it. Therefore the correct entry is:

Bad Debt Expense .................................400
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts........................400

b) You are correct in the dr to Inventory, but the credit should be to Purchases. They have charged their purchases to Purchases as an expense, but did not use all the amount purchased - thus the inventory increased.

c) Correct

d) The credit to Supplies On Hand is correct. The debit should be to an expense account. They have used some of the Supplies on Hand. The best choice I see is Office Expense.

e) When they say depreciation is 5%, they are talking about 5% of the original cost of the building, or 5% of $22,000 = $1,100. Your dr and cr accounts are correct, just the amount is incorrect.

f) Same with Office Equipment. The accounts are fine, but it would be 10% of $6,800 = $680.

g) Correct

Please let me know if you need further explanation on any of these.

If they make sense, the next step is to post them to your worksheet. You are going to end up with a worksheet with several columns. The first two columns are the trial balance you were given in your original post. The second two columns will be posting the debits and credits from your adjustments in a-g. The next two columns will be the adjusted trial balance. So that you can see what I am saying, look at this link as an example of the formatting. If you go down about a third of the page you will see a spreadsheet (green and yellow highlighting).
