Answer 1

Answer:

Ayala Architects Journal entries, T-General Ledger, and Trial Balance are attached.

Explanation:

The General Journal is used to record the April transactions and events on daily basis.  A short narration describes each transaction.

The T-General Ledger is where all the accounts are posted from the journal to achieve the double entry principle and also balance the accounts for final summarization into a Trial Balance.

The Trial Balance summarizes all the account balances into their various debits and credits.  As a control, it is used to ensure that the debit and credit sides agree in total.  It proves that the double entry system was followed.  It does not however preclude compensating errors in the accounts.
