    Correcting a trial balance
    Hi,

    I need help with correcting this trial balance:

    Dr. Cr.
    Office Sales 5720
    Cash in Bank 3260
    Accounts Receivable 5660
    Office Equipment 8400
    Accounts Payable 4160
    D.Hole, Capital 11560
    D.Hole, Withdrawals 700
    Wage Expense 2600
    Rent Expense 940
    Utilities Expense 26
    Office Supplies 120
    Prepaid Rent 180

    Cause of errors:
    1. $200 debit to D. Hole, Withdrawals was posted as a credit.
    2. D.Hole, Withdrawals was listed on trial balance as credit.
    3. Note Payable account with credit balance of $2,400 was not listed on trial balance.
    4. Pencil footings for A/P were debits of $5,320 and credits of $8,800.
    5. Debit of $180 to Prepaid Rent was not posted.
    6. Office Supplies bought for $60 was posted as a credit to Supplies.
    7. Debit of $120 to A/R was not posted.
    8. Cash payment of $420 was credited to Cash for $240.
    9. Pencil footings of credits to Cash was overstated by $400.
    10. Utilities Expense of $260 was listed in trial balance as $26.

    The balance is suppose to be $23,160.

    I got the balance on the credit side of the trial balance but I got $22,660 on the debit side. Can someone tell me what I did wrong? Thanks.
