Solution

To prepare the trial balance, we list all the accounts and their final balances after the transactions. The accounts are listed in alphabetical order as requested:

Account name Debit ($) Credit ($)
Accounts payable 42,700
Cash 231,100
Inventory 58,000
Loan payable 143,800
Machinery 220,200
Service Revenue 50,200
Share capital 293,800
Wages Expense 21,200

Now, we need to ensure that the total of the debit balances equals the total of the credit balances. This is a fundamental principle of double-entry bookkeeping, which ensures that the accounts are balanced.

Total Debits = 231,100 (Cash) + 58,000 (Inventory) + 220,200 (Machinery) + 21,200 (Wages Expense) = 530,500

Total Credits = 42,700 (Accounts payable) + 143,800 (Loan payable) + 50,200 (Service Revenue) + 293,800 (Share capital) = 530,500

As the total debits equal the total credits, the trial balance is balanced.
