I can't get the correct trial balance. Here are the journal entries and ledger balances for the problem I'm working on:

1. Issued 12,000 shares of common stock for 12,000 cash.

2. Purchased used truck for 8,000, paying 2,000 cash and the balance on account.

3. Purchased cleaning supplies for 900 on account.

4. Paid 1,800 cash on 1-year insurance policy.

5. Billed customers 3,700 for cleaning services.

6. Paid 1,000 cash on amount owed on truck and 500 on amount owed on cleaning supplies.

7. Paid 2,000 cash for employee salaries.

8. Collected 1,600 cash for employee salaries.

9. Billed customers 2,500 for cleaning services.

10. Paid 290 for maintenance of the truck during month.

11. Declared and paid 600 cash dividends.

For the ledger entries, I have a 5,410 debit balance for cash; a 12,000 credit balance for common stock; an 8,000 debit balance for equipment; a 5,400 credit balance for accounts payable; a 900 debit balance for supplies; an 1,800 debit balance for prepaid insurance; a 4,600 debit balance for accounts receivable; a 6,200 balance for service revenue; a 2,000 debit balance for salaries and wages expense; a 600 debit balance for dividends; and a 290 balance for maintenance and repairs expense. When I add the debit and credit totals on the trial balance, I get a debit balance of $23,310 and a credit balance of $23,890. What am I doing wrong?
