        We cannot determine why's this not balance unless we see the detail of the entire problem. 
 
But I have suspicion that it has something to do with your Taxes And Licenses 3,500.

        There was no problem given. It just says that.  
 
The following were accounts taken from the consultant 
 
 
Baltazar, Capital 127,000 
Cash 49,480 
Accounts Payable 3,000 
Supplies on Hand 2,500 
Professional Fees 73,000 
Utilities Payable 6,500 
Equipment 63,020 
Accumulated Depreciation 10,000 
Advertising Expense 15,000 
Accounts Receivable 20,000 
Baltazar, Drawing 12,000 
Rent Expense 8,000 
Depreciation Expense 15,000 
Supplies Used 6,000 
Salaries Expense 10,000 
Taxes And Licenses 3,500 
Furniture And Fixture 20,000 
Accumulated Depreciation 5,000 
 
this is what I did. I first separated Debits from Credits then.  
Supplies = Supplies on Hand + Supplies Used 
is this some kind of a trick question?

        No; supplies is not a trick question. Actually, I guess it right. Please examine your Taxes And Licenses 3,500

        Where does Taxes and Licenses fall under? I don't know what I'm dealing with here. Just started accounting classes, and my professor is not teaching any .  
 
Is Supplies = 8500?

        I see. 
 
No; Supplies on Hand (Asset) = 2,500; Supplies Used (Expense) = 6,000. You must not add both of them. 
 
Taxes and Licenses is an expense account. 
 
Please let me know when you already balanced it :)

Please do not change the figure of any given. They are good as is. You just need to identify which is debit and which is credit. Good luck. :)
