SHEFFIELD CO.
TRIAL BALANCE
JUNE 30, 2017
1)Cash was less debited by 750-570 =180 and so as accounts receivable are less credited by 180
3)Service revenue is less credited by 890-89=801
4)cash is Debited (increased) rather than credit (decrease as it is a payment) so to remove the wrong effect of debit ,cash is decreased by 422 ..Also payment is made for expense so cash will decrease by 422 So total decrease in cash will be [422+422= -844]
7)Accounts payable credited(increased) instead of debit(decrease) .so to remove the effect of credit accounts payable is decrease by 260 .and now the amount of actual decrease of accounts payable due to payment is 206 so it is subtracted from amount.
