    Cash in hand and bank 850
    Debtors 1750
    Fixtures 2000
    Drawings 6000
    Loan 2000
    Land 22000
    Creditors 3000
    Capital 29000
    Vehicles 3000
    Insurance prepaid 50
    Electricity Accrued 125
    Closing Stock 3600

    Net profit 5200

    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 :)
