When the trial balance failed to balance, the accountant reviewed the records and discovered the following errors:

1.    The company received $470 as payment for services rendered. The credit to Service Revenue was recorded correctly, but the debit to Cash was recorded as $740.

2.    A $430 receipt of cash that was received from a customer on accounts receivable was not recorded.

3.    A $450 purchase of supplies on account was properly recorded as a debit to the Supplies account. However, the credit to Accounts Payable was not recorded.

4.    Land valued at $10,000 was contributed to the business in exchange for common stock. The entry to record the transaction was recorded as a $10,000 credit to both the Land account and the Common Stock account.

5.    A $200 rent payment was properly recorded as a credit to Cash. However, the Salaries Expense account was incorrectly debited for $200.
