Detailed Solution & Explanation

In the Books of Mr. X
Corrected Trial Balance as on 31st March, 2022
| Name of Accounts | Dr. | Cr. | | :----------------- | :----- | :----- | | X's Capital | - | 4,668 | | X's Drawings | 1,692 | - | | Leasehold Premises | 2,250 | - | | Sales | - | 8,250 | | Due from customers | 1,590 | - | | Purchases | 3,777 | - | | Purchase Return | - | 792 | | Loan from Bank | - | 768 | | Trade Expense | 2,100 | - | | Trade Payable | - | 1,584 | | Bills Payable | - | 300 | | Salaries and Wages | 1,800 | - | | Cash at Bank | 678 | - | | Opening Inventory | 792 | - | | Rent and Rates | 1,389 | - | | Sales Return | 294 | - | | **Total** | **16,362** | **16,362** |
Reasons: 1. Due from customer & opening inventory are treated as assets of the business so they are recorded in the debit side of trial balance. 2. Trade payable & Bills Payable are treated as liabilities so they are recorded on a credit side of trial balance. 3. Purchase return & Sales return always show the credit balance & debit balance respectively.
