Working notes:
1. Normally, after preparing the journal entries, the same are posted in ledger accounts from which the ending balances of each account is derived. These ending balances are then recorded in the trial balance. So, for example all entries related to cash will be entered in Cash A/c in ledger and the ending balance will be recorded in trial balance. However, here we have worked it out directly as follows:
2. So, we see all entries related to cash. Entry dated 1 July adds to cash balance $20,000(cash being real account, debit means addition),then second entry on 1 July involves cash outgo(credit) of $5,000 and third entry too outgo of $2,800. So, this will reduce cash balance. Further, on 18 July, there is cash outgo of $3,000(reduction in cash balance), on July 28, there is cash inflow (addition) of $3,300 and on July 31, there is cash outflow of $550 and $2,600. So, the ending cash balance = $20,000-$5,000-$2,800-$3,000+$3,300-$550-$2,600 = $9,350.
3. Similarly, for accounts receivable, ending balance = $3,300+$8,900-$3,300=$8,900.
4. For service revenue, ending balance = $3,300+$8,900 = $12,200.

Working notes:
1. Service revenue unbilled and uncollected so it will have to be recorded.
2. Though this statement is incomplete, however, assuming straight line depreciation and zero salvage value from the information given, monthly depreciation = $20,000/(5*12) = $416.67
3. Total prepaid insurance =$2,800. Expired insurance = $2800/12 = $233.33
4. Supplies purchased were $2,100 and inventory count shows $700. Therefore, supplies consumed in July = $2100-$700 = $1,400.
5. Accrued salary expense recorded
6. Annual interest on note payable = 5.5%*$20,000 = $1,100. Monthly interest expense = $1100/12 = $91.67
Ans.D. The adjusted trial balance is prepared by incorporating the balances of adjusting entries (like in Part B) in existing accounts and new accounts, as follows:
