The following trial balance of Carla Vista Ltd., at the end of its first year of operations, June 30, 2018, does not balance: Debit Credit

The following trial balance of Carla Vista Ltd., at the end of its first year of operations, June 30, 2018, does not balance:

Debit Credit
Cash $ 1,223
Accounts receivable $2,630
Supplies 880
Equipment 2,650
Accumulated depreciationequipment 570
Accounts payable 2,800
Unearned revenue 1,260
Common shares 950
Dividends Declared 790
Service revenue 7,883
Salaries expense 3,400
Office expense 880
Depreciation expense 570
Income tax expense 350

$13,980 $12,856

Each of the listed accounts has a normal balance per the general ledger. However, each account may not have been listed in the appropriate debit or credit column, or may not belong in the trial balance at all. In addition, an examination of the general ledger and general journal reveals the following errors:

1. Cash received from a customer on account was debited for $670, and Accounts Receivable was credited for the same amount. The actual collection was for $760.
2. The purchase of equipment on account for $370 was recorded as a debit to Supplies for $370 and a credit to Accounts Payable for $370.
3. Services were performed on account for a client for $900. Accounts Receivable was debited for $900 and Service Revenue was credited for $90.
4. A transposition (reversal of digits) error was made when copying the balance in the Salaries Expense account. The correct balance should be $4,300.
5. A payment for rent in the amount of $900 was neither recorded nor posted.

Prepare a correct trial balance.
