EXPLANATION
A 10 Column worksheet starts with Unadjusted Trail balance in which we have to do the adjustments.
- Given in the sum closing supplies $3300 will be reflect as Supplies in balance sheet and difference $6600 will be charged as expenses.
- The insurance expired will be charged to expenses and remaining unexpired insurance will be shown as Prepaid Insurance in the balance sheet.
- Annual Depreciation will be charged to expenses and added to Accumulated depreciation account. Hence Annual Depreciation of $8400 is debited as Depreciation expense and also credited to Accumulated depreciation account.
- Utilities expenses of $650 is recorded as Expenses and the Utilities payable account as a liabilities is also created of $650.
- Accrued wages of $1800 were debited as an Expenses and Wages payable were credited at the same amount showing as liabilities payable.
- Outstanding rent expenses were also recorded as expenses and debited and simultaneously a rent payable account is created as a liability.
- Another liability of Property tax has not been paid but must be recorded in books as per accrual basis and hence debited as an expense and simultaneously liabilities credit under property tax payable account.
- Accrued expenses for 1 month must be recorded as per accrual basis of accounting and hence $250 must be recorded as an expenses.
Also Notes payable of $5000 is to be shown as current liabilities because payable is due in less than 1year so we have to debit the Long term loan payable and credit the short term loan payable to reduce the long term loan payable and create a new short term loan payable.

Explanation of Solution
- The first journal entries represent the Income that is made during the year. We transfer the income to a notional account we create named as Income summary account in which we transfer the Income and Expenses and any excess or deficit is adjusted with the capital Account. Since revenue is a credit item so we debit the revenue and credit the income summary account. In this way we have transfer the revenue to Income summary account.
- In the second entry we transfer all the expenses to income summary account by debiting the Income summary and crediting all the expenses during the year.
- In the 3rd entry we find out the surplus in income summary account after the debit and credit od revenue and expenses and transfer the surplus to capital account. The surplus calculated as shown below:-
- In this we have simply reduced the partners’ capital account by the amount of withdrawals they made during the year.

Answer to Problem 2APSA
SOLUTION
- Will have effect on 10 column worksheet and this error cannot be discovered in the balance sheet.
- Will have effect on 10 column worksheet and this error can be discovered in balance sheet.
Explanation of Solution
A) In this scenario, there was a difference of 3,300 supplies expense that where not charged. Hence the supplies were overvalued and expenses were undervalued. This Error would not likely to be discovered only with the worksheet. As the overvalue and undervalue will automatically balance the work book and the error cannot be discovered on the financial statement. In financial statement Supplies will be overvalued by 3,300 and Ace capital will be overvalued by 3,300.
B) In this scenario Cash balance will be undervalued. As the cash was credited incorrectly by $18,500. This effect can be seen in workbook as the cash balance will be lower by $18,500. So the workbook will not match. This error can be discovered in the workbook itself.
Hence we have analyze both the scenario and discovered that both will have effect on the 10 column worksheet and error A cannot be identified on the face of financial statement but error B can
