Answer 1

Dear student, only one question is allowed at a time. I am answering the first question

13)

A Trial balance is a statement showing all debit and credit balances of accounts. It is a result of the double entry book keeping in which each debit has a corresponding credit

A journal entry has a debit and a credit due to which the trial balance will match if it is posted correctly

A)

If a journal entry is posted twice, it will not affect the balancing of the trial balance but will result in double recording of the transaction. So, option A is not correct

B)

If a wrong amount is used in journalizing, it will result in under or over stating the transaction but will not affect the balancing of the trial balance. So, option B is also not correct

C)

If incorrect account titles are used in journal entry, it will affect the disclosures of the transaction but will not affect the balancing of the trial balance. So, option C is also not correct

D)

If a journal entry is posted partially, it will not balance the trial balance as the transaction has not been posted properly ( either a debit is missed or a credit is missed which will result in mismatch in the trial balance)

So, as per above discussion, option D is the correct option
