A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/11/M/J/24

Explanation
Net imbalance from trial balance casting error Steps:
- Error 1: Carriage outwards debit balance overstated by 90 higher than credits.
- Error 2: Returns journal overcast by $100 affects nominal and personal ledgers equally if posted individually, netting zero imbalance.
- Error 3: Receipt posted as debit to wrong account (Brian Green instead of bank); both debit-side, no total effect.
- Error 4: Rent received posted as debit to rent (wrong side/account); corresponding bank entry nets zero difference in totals. Why A is correct:
- Trial balance debits exceed credits by 90 balances it per double-entry principle. Why the others are wrong:
- B: 350 + 110.
- C: Debit $90 assumes credits exceed debits, opposite of error effect.
- D: Debit $740 combines irrelevant figures without basis.
