Horngren’s Accounting, Volume 1, 11th Canadian Edition by Tracie Miller-Nobles Solution manual
the accounts and their balances and serves as an early error-detection tool.
16. A compound journal entry is one that affects more than two accounts.
17. A trial balance verifies the equality of total debits and total credits of all accounts
on the trial balance and is an internal document used only by employees of the
company. The balance sheet, on the other hand, presents the business’s accounting
equation and is a financial statement that can be used by both internal and external
users.
18. This error does not cause the trial balance to be out of balance because both the total
debits and the total credits are overstated by the same amount, $5,400 ($6,000 – $600).
19. Collecting cash on account has no effect on total assets because the increase in cash,
which increases total assets, is offset by the decrease in accounts receivable, which
decreases total assets.
20. If total debits equal total credits on the trial balance, it does not mean that the trial
balance is error-free. An incorrect amount could have been used, an entry could
have been completely missed, or the wrong account title could have been debited
or credited.

“The basic summary device in accounting is the account. The left side is called the debit side,
and the right side is called the credit side. We record transactions first in a journal. Then we
post (copy the data) to the ledger. It is helpful to list all the accounts with their balances on a
trial balance.”
