Here are the transactions...

I looked at each transaction and decided which account got credited and which got debited. Below is my results, but they are wrong. I know they are wrong because the balance of the "Cash" account should be $10,678. I have the balance as being $13,632.

Total Debits Total Credits
22702 22702

Another problem is that the total debits and credits is 22702, but I know that they should add up to $22,856.
Looking at just the "Cash" transactions, here's what I have.
Cash (111)
Debits Credits
Oct. 1 - $12000 Oct. 1 - $1040
Oct. 16 - $1362
Oct. 31 - $1310

Bal: $13632
#13,632 = SUM(Debits) - SUM(Credits)

Summary:
  1. I'm trying to get my "Cash" transactions to equal $10,678 because I know that is the answer.
  • I'm trying to get my Totals to equal $22,856 because I know that is the answer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the 'code' or 'php' or 'html' tags on your post to keep them formatted like so:

Code:
