Trial Balance with all accounts (including missing Debtors and Cash from the original question)

Step 1: Identify Missing Adjustments

The given trial balance is unadjusted, meaning certain accounting entries (like depreciation, outstanding expenses, prepaid expenses, or accrued income) are missing. Since no specific adjustments are provided, we assume the following common adjustments for a typical business:

  1. Depreciation on Fixed Assets

    • Assume 10% depreciation on fixed assets (Rs. 1,00,000).
    • Depreciation Expense = .
  2. Outstanding Salaries

    • Assume Rs. 5,000 of salaries are unpaid (accrued expense).
  3. Prepaid Wages

    • Assume Rs. 2,000 of wages were paid in advance (prepaid expense).
  4. Outstanding Rent

    • Assume Rs. 3,000 of rent is unpaid (accrued expense).
  5. Accrued Interest on Debtors

    • Assume Rs. 1,000 of interest is earned but not yet received.

Step 2: Prepare Adjustment Entries

The following adjusting entries are recorded in the ledger:
