What is necessary in such instances is to check the posting of every entry, focusing on transpositions, substitution of debit for credit and vice versa, incorrect additions, incorrect extraction of the trial balance. Without seeing the detail of your postings we could not begin to find your errors. There are previous examples if you search this Board such as

There is, if you look at the post at the head of the Board ,a section for homework help

From your trial balance your cash account is incorrect and your total credits and debits is incorrect.

For cash I have 21,365 and for debits & credits I have 69,850

You should check your amounts for each transaction and check to make sure you added the correct amount or subtracted the correct amount in the correct accounts.
