Because the trial balance did not balance, you decided to examine the accounting records. You found that the following errors had been made:
1. A purchase of supplies on account for $245 was posted as a debit to Supplies and as a debit to Accounts Payable.
2. An investment of $500 cash by the owner was debited to Common Stock and credited to Cash.
3. In computing the balance of the Accounts Receivable account, a debit of $600 was omitted from the computation.
4. One debit of $300 to the Dividends account was posted as a credit.
5. Office equipment purchased for $800 was posted to the Shop Equipment account.
6. One entire entry was not posted to the general ledger. The transaction involved the receipt of $125 cash for repair services performed for cash.
Prepare a corrected trial balance for the HG's Auto Maintenance, Inc.e as of October 31.
