    I think you best bet will be to set up your T accounts first and then draw up the Trial Balance from all the balances carried down.

    Thanks a lot for that... Now I will try to set up how its working everything in my mind... The problem is... I never did t-accounts for trial balance, always I get information and I just need put them in correct places.

    I learned about Trial Balance yesterday.

    Use this:

    Debit side:

    (Paled)
    Purchases
    Assets
    Losses
    Expenses
    Drawings
    (SLCA)

    Credit side:

    (Clips)
    Capital
    Liabilities
    Income
    Profit
    Sales
    (PLCA)

    Just think “Paled Clips” in your head and put figures in correct columns from this. I hope this helps.
