(iv) Goods worth ₹ 130 returned by Gian were entered in the Sales Book and posted therefrom to the credit of Gian’s Personal Account.

Answer 1

Answer:

A trial balance is a list of all the general ledger accounts (both revenue and capital) contained in the ledger of a business. This list will contain the name of each nominal ledger account and the value of that nominal ledger balance. Each nominal ledger account will hold either a debit balance or a credit balance.
