Prepare the trial balance for
Capital k1230
Creditors k2500
Debtors k37530
Assets k5000
Liabilities k4000
Cash k400
Purchases k1000
To prepare the trial balance, we need to list all the accounts and their corresponding balances. Here is the trial balance based on the given information:
Account | Debit ($) | Credit ($)
-------------------------------------------------
Capital | | 1,230
Creditors | | 2,500
Debtors | 37,530 |
Assets | 5,000 |
Liabilities | | 4,000
Cash | 400 |
Purchases | 1,000 |
-------------------------------------------------
Total | 43,930 | 7,730
Note: The total for the debit and credit columns should balance, which is the case in this trial balance: $43,930 = $7,730
To solve the equation 2x - 4 + 2 = -5x - 20, we need to simplify and isolate the variable x.
First, let's combine like terms on both sides:
2x - 2 = -5x - 16
Next, let's group the x terms together and the constant terms together:
2x + 5x = -16 + 2
Combining like terms gives us:
7x = -14
Now, let's isolate the variable x by dividing both sides of the equation by 7:
(7x)/7 = -14/7
Simplifying further:
x = -2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 2x - 4 + 2 = -5x - 20 is x = -2.
Solve the 2x-4+2=-5x-20
To prepare the trial balance, we need to list all the accounts and their respective balances.
Step 1: List all the accounts:
- Capital
- Creditors
- Debtors
- Assets
- Liabilities
- Cash
- Purchases
Step 2: Assign the given balances to the respective accounts:
- Capital: k1230
- Creditors: k2500
- Debtors: k37530
- Assets: k5000
- Liabilities: k4000
- Cash: k400
- Purchases: k1000
Step 3: Arrange the accounts in the trial balance format:
| Account | Debit (Dr) | Credit (Cr) |
|----------------|---------------|----------------|
| Capital | k1230 | |
| Creditors | | k2500 |
| Debtors | k37530 | |
| Assets | k5000 | |
| Liabilities | | k4000 |
| Cash | k400 | |
| Purchases | k1000 | |
Step 4: Calculate the total debit and credit amounts:
Total Debit: k12,130 (k1230 + k37530 + k5000 + k400 + k1000)
Total Credit: k6,500 (k2500 + k4000)
The total debit amount should always equal the total credit amount in a trial balance.
