Answer:

a. The Debit column is correctly stated.

b. The Credit column is understated by $17,300 ($8,650 * 2).

c. The Automobiles account balance is correctly stated in the trial balance.

d. The Accounts Payable account balance is understated in the trial balance by  $17,300 ($8,650 * 2).

e. If the Debit column total of the trial balance is $200,000 before correcting the error, the total of the Credit column before correction is $182,700.

Explanation:

This mistake is an Error of Commission.  It is a problem of arithmetical accuracy, for example, posting to the wrong side of one ledger account.  In this case, the Accounts Payable should have been credited with the amount of $8,650.  As an arithmetic error, it can only be corrected by doubling the affected amount on the Credit side of the Accounts Payable account.
