Effect of Errors on Adjusted Trial Bal

For each of the following errors, considered individually, indicate whether the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal. If the $lon$

cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal, indicate whether the debit or credit total is higher and by how much.

a$.$ The adjustment of $$9,700$ for accrued fees earned was journalized as a debit to Accounts Receivable for $$9,700$ and a credit to Fees Earned for $$7,9$

The totals are unequal; the debit total is higher.

Enter the difference between the debit and credit totals. If the totals are equal, enter a zero.

$$1,800$

b$.$ The adjustment of depreciation of $$18,700$ was omitted from the end$-$of$-$period adjusting entries.

The totals are equal.

Enter the difference between the debit and credit totals. If the totals are equal, enter a zero.

$$2,200$

a$.$ Recall that the trial balance does not provide complete proof of the accuracy of the ledger, but indicates only that debits equal credits. Were $t$

amounts recorded? If not, what is the difference and on which side of the T$-$account is it higher?

b$.$ Recall that the trial balance does not provide complete proof of the accuracy of the ledger, but indicates only that debits equal credits. Thougl

transaction may have been handled incorrectly, did the omission cause the debit and credit column totals to be unequal?
