Balance

Account Debit Credit

Cash $ 3,500

Accounts receivable 1500

Supplies 600

Computer equipment 25,800

Accounts payable 12,700

McDowell, capital 12,200

Service revenue 9,800

Salary expense 1,700

Utilities expense 900

Total 34,700 34700

a. We change the cash balance to $ 3500 and A/R balance to 1500

b. We add $ 900 in the accounts Payable and change it to 12,700
