Answer:
1. The Debit column total is added incorrectly. The sum is $583,500 rather than
$916,500.
2. The trial balance should be dated “August 31, 2012,” not “For the Month Ending August 31, 2012.”
3. The Accounts Receivable balance should be in the Debit column.
4. The Accounts Payable balance should be in the Credit column.
5. The Ken Frye, Drawing, balance should be in the Debit column.
6. The Advertising Expense balance should be in the Debit column.
A corrected trial balance would be as follows:
