The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The following errors can be identified in the accountant's adjusting entries:
1.The accountant debited the account receivable for $5,000 (i.e. $23,250 - $18,250 = $5,000) without crediting laundry revenue.
Therefore, we should have:
Correct amount of laundry revenue = Laundry revenue in trial balance + (Adjusted account receivable - Unadjusted account receivable) = $182,100 + ($23,250 - $18,250) = $187100
2. The accountant debited laundry suppliers expense instead of crediting laundry suppliers for $3,000.
3. The the accountant credited Prepaid insurance for $3,600 (i.e. $5,200 - $1,600 = $3,600). However, the insurance expense was debited for $600.
4. Instead of crediting accumulated depreciation, the laundry equipment for depreciation expense was erroneously credited by the accountant for $13,000.
5. A debit of $1,000 to wages expense was not made by the accountant.
<u>Additional Note:</u>
After correcting the errors identified above, the correct adjusted trial balance will look as the one in the attached photo.
