Answer:

I suppose that the requirement is correcting the errors in postings by a way of journal entries.

Debit Accounts receivable $90

Credit Cash $90

Dr Printer asset account $340

Cr Supplies $340

Debit Accounts receivable $670

Debit salaries & wages $775

Credit account payable $54

Debit retained earnings $600

Credit salaries and wages $600

Step-by-step explanation:

Actual cash received was $670 but $760 was posted to both accounts,hence $90 should credited to cash $90 and the same debited to accounts receivable.

Credit of $340 to accounts payable was correct,only the debit entry needs be reversed by crediting supplies and debiting Printer account.

The entry for revenue was correct but the debit was for a wrong amount.Hence Debiting accounts receivable with $630 takes care of that.

Salaries and wages would debited with $775

Accounts was debited $260 instead of $206,hence we credit accounts payable with $54 ($260-$206)

The dividends debited to salaries and wages should be reversed by crediting salaries and wages and debiting retained earnings
