    There's an issue right from the start of these unadjusted trial balance totals. There's nothing here that adds up to 490,760. When I did it, I didn't balance and never figured out why. Something is wrong with the original information.

    As to already having your adjusting entries checked, I disagree with a couple of things. It would help if I could see where some of these amounts are coming from.

    Close all revenues to income summary
    Actually, it looks like you're trying to close out all credit accounts together. Either that, or you don't know the normal balances, I'm not sure which.

    Quote:

    Carriage inwards 2200
    This is a debit balance.

    Quote:

    Unearned Rent Income 9000
    This is a bit of a misnomer. It's either unearned or it's income. It can't be both. At any rate, unearned rent is a liability not a revenue. UNEARNED means you haven't earned it, so it can't be a revenue. You already have a correct account for the rent that was earned.

    Quote:

    Prepaid Isurance 12400

    Quote:

    Total 81800
    Revenues DR CR
    Service Revenue 81800
    Income Summary 81800
    Why are you debiting service revenue? There is no service revenue account. The debits are all the accounts you've listed, and then credit into income summary. Journal entries do not contain a line called "total." You debit all the credit-balance accounts and credit the total into income summary.

    Just as a note, columns don't come out when you post. I'm making assumptions about what is actually debit and credit. They all added up to 81,800 so I assume they were all debited in your entry.

    Quote:

    DR CR
    Income Summary 81800
    Why are you repeating this account? It's already in the above entry.

    Quote:

    Wages 100000
    You've listed this twice.

    Quote:

    Provision for Bad Debts 890
    Acc. Provisions for Depreciation 52956
    These are contra assets, not expenses. (They're also credit balances.)

    Quote:

    Insurance 3700
    I don't know where you got that balance. You've got the prepaid insurance amount correct, so what's left in the expense account should also be correct.

    Quote:

    Bad debts 4800
    You also completely left out sales, sales returns, purchases and purchase returns.

    And I don't know what bad debts recovered is supposed to be. In the U.S. this would not be a separate account, but would be added back into both receivables and the allowance for bad debt. I figured out the bad debt expense both with and without that 7000 in there and did not come up with your 4800 number.

    You need to do some studying up on what kind of accounts each of these are. Only revenues and expenses close out, but you have to know which ones those are. You need to know how to classify all accounts.

    When figuring up net income, you also have to account for the 1300 difference in inventory. That, combined with all the purchase accounts, will create COGS.
