The following corrections and or adjustments need to be made for errors in the trial balance: A number of account balances have been placed on

The following corrections and or adjustments need to be made for errors in the trial balance:

A number of account balances have been placed on the wrong side of the trial balance

An amount of $7,000 was omitted to be posted to the credit side of the Bank account

An amount of $6,000 was wrongly posted to the credit side instead of the debit side of the Inventory account

HI THERE, I HAVE MADE CORRECTIONS FOR THE FIRST POINT BUT I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE SECOND AND THIRD, do I have to post the omitted $7000 to the credit side, If so how do I show that in the trial balance? I thought that bank was an asset and therefore only shown in the trial balance as a debit account? What account should I post it in if so ? Or do I post it to the debit side? I have included the trial balance below.. am really hoping i can have an explanation to both last points as i cannot seem to find in my resources online any working out or explanations .. please help
