I have done this same exercise and the total Debits and Credits I came up with were $103,550 which also matches what the professor hinted they should be but he also said he had not verified the totals... Or are we making a big mistake somewhere?
Debits Credits
72,000 72,000
4,500 4,500
3,300 3,300
900 900
2,200 2,200
9,000 1,500
7,500
4,896 4,896
450 450
5,304 5,304
1,000 1,000
103,550 103,550

I have attached a Trial Balance in Excel 97-2003 format to show you what your account balances should be. Based on the information provided your debits and credits should equal $90,150
Sometimes the check figures or the solutions in the textbooks could be incorrect. I have seen this in a couple of times in my accounting textbooks. Also there could be information that has been posted that is different in your textbook, or there could be additional information in your problem that you have not provided.
Here is a guide to help you figure out what types of accounts have normal debit or credit balances:
D - Debit Balance
E - Expenses
A - Assets
D - Dividends/Owners Withdrawals
C - Credit Balance
U - Unearned Revenue
R - Revenues
L - Liabilities
S - Stockholders Equity/Owners Investment
A debit entry to an account with a normal debit balance will increase the account balance, while a credit entry will decrease the account balance.
A Credit entry to an account with a normal credit balance will increase the account balance, while a debit entry will decrease the account balance.

The 1500 and 7500 should be under credit and 9000 (equipment) debit remember your 7500 is balance due therefore, it should be under account payable which should be credited and a down payment of 1500 was make which is also credited the ending value should sum up to 103,550 for credits and debits. Hopefully my explanation helped

a. You need to calculate one months insurance. Take your original amount of prepaid and divide it my the total number of months. i.e. 12 months for a 1 year policy, 24 months for a 2 year policy, or 36 months for a 3 year policy. Your Debit will be to Insurance Expense and your Credit will be to Prepaid Insurance for the amount of insurance used in one month.
b. You have to take your Supplies account balance and subtract your actual onhand balance to get your adjusting entry amount. Your Debit will be to Supplies Expense and your Credit will be to Supplies for the amount of supplies calculated.
c. The amount is given, so your Debit will be to Depreciation Expense and your Credit will be to Accumulated Depreciation for the amount given.
d. The amount is given, so your Debit will be to Income Taxes Expense and your Credit will be to Income Taxes Payable for the amount given.
I have attached a sample Worksheet containing the trial balance, adjusting entries, and an adjusted trial balance so you can see what one looks like.

If you just add the totals for debits and credits of your journal entries your total will be 103,500 but when you do a trial balance the balance of your debits and credits will be 90,150.
The reason for the difference is that some transactions will reduce one account with a debit balance and increase one account with a debit balance, and some transactions will decrease one account with a debit balance and decrease one account with a credit balance.
