Answer 1

Answer: If the Salaries Expense account had a $3,400 debit balance in the trial balance, and an adjustment was made debiting the account for $800, then the account would appear on the work sheet as a(n):

"$4,200 debit balance in the adjusted trial balance columns"

Explanation: To determine the adjusted account balance, we must only use a T account: Where the debit of $ 3400 corresponds to the balance before the adjustment and the debit of $ 800 corresponds to the adjustment.
