2. A trial balance will not balance if
a) a $50 cash purchase of supplies was posted twice.
b) a $50 cash dividend was debited to Dividends for $500 and credited to cash for $500.
c) a $500 payment of an account payable was debited to Accounts Payable for $50 and credited to Cash for $500.
d) a $500 receipt of a customer’s advance payment for services was recorded as a $500 debit to Cash and a $500 credit to Service Revenue.
e) a $500 collection of cash was not posted.
1. b. Equipment and Selling Expense
Debit or credit to Asset and Nominal expense a/c will have similar impact i.ie Debit will increase and Credit will reduce.
2.c.a 500 payment of an account payable was debited to Accounts Payable for $50 and credited to Cash for $500.
Since this error will lead to different amount in debit and credit will lead to trial balance not tallying. For all other error its error of ommission or principle but will tally trial balance
