Solution

To prepare a corrected trial balance for Shafer Company, we first need to understand that in a trial balance, the total debits should equal the total credits. This is based on the accounting equation where Assets = Liabilities + Equity.

In the given trial balance, the total debits and credits are equal (150,500 Sh), which means there are no arithmetic errors. However, the question mentions that there are some errors and all accounts should have a normal balance.

Normal balances are as follows:

  • Assets (Cash, Accounts Receivable, Prepaid Insurance, Equipment) have a normal debit balance.
  • Liabilities (Accounts Payable, Unearned Service Revenue, Notes Payable) have a normal credit balance.
  • Equity (Capital, Retained Earnings) has a normal credit balance.
  • Dividends have a normal debit balance.
  • Revenues (Service Revenue) have a normal credit balance.
  • Expenses (Salaries and Wages Expense, Utilities Expense, Rent Expense) have a normal debit balance.

Looking at the given trial balance, all accounts are already in their normal balances. Therefore, without additional information about specific errors in the account balances, the corrected trial balance would look exactly the same as the draft trial balance provided.
