Which of the following errors would cause the trial balance to be out of balance?
O A payment of $148 to Accounts payable was posted as a Debit (DR) to Accounts payable and a Debit (DR) of $148 to Cash.
O A transaction was not posted.
O A payment of $59 for supplies was posted as a Debit (DR) of $95 to Supplies and a Credit (CR) of $95 to Cash.
O Cash received from a customer on account was posted as a Debit (DR) of $350 to Cash and as a Credit (CR) of $350 to Accounts payable.
An error that would cause the trial balance to be out of balance is when debits do not equal credits due to incorrect postings.
The correct answer is: O A payment of $59 for supplies was posted as a Debit (DR) of $95 to Supplies and a Credit (CR) of $95 to Cash.
This error increases both Supplies (an asset) and Cash (another asset) by incorrect amounts, creating an imbalance in the trial balance since debits are more than credits.
