- Hi I asked this question previously and the individual did not explain things clearly. For instance he provided the I'm guessing standard method of finding a missing amount on a certain type of T-Account but then would turn around and solve it using a different method. I am posting the response that were not clear below. If you could tell me what the actual method is and if there exceptions and if so what those are.Answer #1 I needed the BEGINNING balance of a debit account. As you can see the response below the individual provided a formula that included the BB which is UNKOWN because that is WHAT I NEED. At the bottom they change around the equation to come to the answer. So what is the proper way???Part-1. Begining balance of cash account is missing. The cash account is having a debit balance always. The formula for Cash account is as under:Ending balance of Cash Account = Begining Balance of cash account + All debits - All creditsHere,Ending Balance of cash = 9800All debits…arrow_forwardI need 1,2,3,4, and 6 answered without using excel please.arrow_forwardIf a $335.00 debit item in the general journal is posted as a credit: By how much will the trial balance be out of balance?
