Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of T - Account Balances

Cash $30,000 - $2,450 - $850 + $14,940 - $2,050 - $2,000 - $3,200 = $ 34,390 (debit)

Capital $30,000 - $3,200 = $ 26,800 (credit)

Rent Expense $2,450 (debit)

Supplies $2,200 - $1,100 = $ 1,100 (debit)

Accounts Payable $2,200 - $850 = $ 1,350 (credit)

Fees Earned $14,940 (credit)

Automobile Expenses $1,580 (debit)

Miscellaneous expenses $470

Salaries Expenses $2,000
