That is the Journal Entries I did. I need help with the T-accounts.
To determine the total number of T-accounts, you need to identify all the different accounts mentioned in the journal entries. Each account will have its own T-account.
Based on the provided information, here are the accounts that should have T-accounts:
1. Cash
2. Accounts Receivable
3. Inventory
4. Supplies
5. Furniture and Fixtures
6. Accumulated Depreciation - Furniture and Fixtures (This will be used to track the depreciation expense)
7. Notes Payable
8. Interest Payable
9. Accounts Payable
10. Miscellaneous Expenses
11. Dividends
12. Franchise Fee Payable
13. Rent Expense
14. Salaries/Wages Payable
15. Utilities Expense
16. Cost of Goods Sold
17. Sales Revenue
18. Interest Revenue
Additionally, you will need T-accounts for stockholder's equity accounts:
19. Common Stock
20. Retained Earnings
So in total, you will have 20 T-accounts.
Now, regarding the issues with the unadjusted trial balance not balancing, you need to ensure that the total debits equal the total credits. If they do not balance, it means there is an error in your journal entries or a missing entry.
To troubleshoot the issue, carefully review each journal entry to verify that you have correctly recorded the debits and credits. Double-check your math and make sure you have included all the necessary entries.
If the trial balance still doesn't balance, check for any omitted or duplicated entries. Ensure that the amounts transferred to the trial balance from the T-accounts are accurate.
If you're still unable to balance the trial balance, it may be helpful to seek assistance from a teacher, tutor, or fellow student who can review your work and provide guidance specific to your assignment.
