After posting the transactions, the balances of the ledger accounts must be determined. The balances will be used in preparing a trial balance.

The following procedures and guidelines must be remembered in determining the account balances.

Then determine if the account has a debit balance or credit balance. In this case, because the total debits is more than the total credits, the Cash account has a debit balance. Double rule the balance.

All ledger balances must be determined. The ledger balances of

each account will be as follows:

AS OF JANUARY 15, 2011

Because Cash has a debit balance it is placed in the debit column of the trial balance. Accounts with credit balances must be placed on the credit column of the trial balance.

The total debits must equal the total credits. Double rule the totals.

A little bit of caution...

The equality of total debits and total credits in the trial balance does not guarantee the absence of errors.

The financial statements can now be prepared using the amounts in the trial balance.
