The first thing you must do is determine why your balance sheet is out of balance.

COGS 604,783 Merchandise Inventory 604,783 COGS will ultimately become a debit to Retained Earnings.

Impossible to determine adjustment amount without more information such as depreciation method used and a detailed list of the equipment and purchase dates.

Supplies Expense 13,603 Supplies Inventory 13,603 Supplies Expense will ultimately become a debit to Retained Earnings.

Interest Expense 865 A/P 865 To recognize the portion of interest yet to be paid.

Cash 750 Bank Fees will ultimately become a debit to Retained Earnings.

Sounds like you should be doing your own homework.

Lots of folks come here for us to do their homework. What takes me five minutes to do can have years of negative consequences for the student who now won't LEARN the material. Keeps me employed. ;)
