Correct the Trial Balance
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
This trial balance of Titus Co. does not balance.
TITUS COMPANY
Trial Balance
June 30, 2010
Debit Credit
Cash $4,890
Accounts Receivable $5,260
Supplies 1,219
Equipment 4,800
Accounts Payable 5,466
Unearned Revenue 1,619
Common Stock 10,800
Dividends 800
Service Revenue 5,280
Salaries Expense 3,501
Office Expense 910
Totals $18,109 $26,436
Each of the listed accounts has a normal balance per the general ledger. An examination of the ledger and journal reveals the following errors:
1. Cash received from a customer on account was debited for $570, and Accounts Receivable was credited for the same amount. The actual collection was for $970.
2. The purchase of a typewriter on account for $343 was recorded as a debit to Supplies for $343 and a credit to Accounts Payable for $343.
3. Services were performed on account for a client for $800. Accounts Receivable was debited for $80 and Service Revenue was credited for $800.
4. A debit posting to Salaries Expense of $599 was omitted.
5. A payment on account for $206 was credited to Cash for $206 and credited to Accounts Payable for $260.
6. Payment of a $657 cash dividend to Titus's stockholders was debited to Salaries Expense for $657 and credited to Cash for $657.
Complete the correct trial balance
So here's what I think has to be done to fix the errors...
1. Cr. Cash 400
Dr. accounts rec. 400
2. Cr. Supplies 343
Dr. equipment 342
3. Dr. accounts rec. 720
4. Dr. salaries expense 599
5. Dr. accounts payable 54
6. Dr. dividends 657
Cr. Salaries expense 657
My problem now is that even if what I think has to be done is right, I don't understand how to go back and make these adjustments to the trial balance in order to make it work.
