The following errors took place in journalizing and posting transactions:
a. Cash of $12,975 received on account was recorded as a debit to Fees Earned and a
credit to Cash.
b. A $3,200 purchase of supplies for cash was recorded as a debit to Supplies Expense
and a credit to Accounts Payable.

                            Fees Earned ............................................................ 12,975
