Answer 1

Answer:

The total of adjusted trial balance debit and credit side is $159 after posting the given transactions. The sheet is attached with the full working showing both of the trial balances - un-adjusted and adjusted one.

Explanation:

Following journal entries were posted in the trial balance to adjust it.

Transaction a:

Debit: depreciation expense $3

Credit: accumulated depreciation $3

Transaction b:

Debit: salaries expense $6

Credit: accrued salaries $6

Transaction c:

Debit: Unearned revenue $12

Credit: Revenue $12

When unearned revenue is earned, it is removed from unearned revenue by debiting it and then it is credited to the revenue for the period.

Transaction d:

Debit: supplies expense $9

Credit: supplies $9

Transaction e:

Debit: insurance expense $15

Credit: Insurance prepaid $15

When the insurance is expired, it is deducted from the prepaid insurance by crediting it from prepaid insurance account and it is debited to insurance expense account.
