Two students are discussing the use of a trial balance. They wonder whether the following errors, each considered separately, would prevent the trial balance from balancing. What would you tell them? (a) The bookkeeper debited Cash for $\$ 600$ and credited Salaries and Wages Expense for $\$ 600$ for payment of wages. (b) Cash collected on account was debited to Cash for $\$ 800,$ and Service Revenue was credited for $\$ 80$.

Effect of Errors on Adjusted Trial Balance For each of the following errors, considered individually, indicate whether the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal. If the error would cause the adjusted trial balance totals to be unequal, indicate whether the debit or credit total is higher and by how much. a. The adjustment for accrued wages of $5,200 was journalized as a debit to Wages Expense for $5,200 and a credit to Accounts Payable for $5,200. Enter the difference between the debit and credit totals. If the totals are equal, enter a zero.$ b. The entry for $1,125 of supplies used during the period was journalized as a debit to Supplies Expense of $1,125 and a credit to Supplies of $1,152. Enter the difference between the debit and credit totals. If the totals are equal, enter a zero.$
