Identify the account with an incorrect balance


Response to the following problem:

Kamran Saddiqi has trouble keeping his debits and credits equal. During a recent month, he made the following errors:

b. Saddiqi recorded a $120 purchase of supplies on account by debiting Supplies and crediting Accounts Payable for $210.

c. In preparing the trial balance, Saddiqi omitted a $50,000 note payable.

d. Saddiqi posted a $700 utility expense as $70. The credit posting to Cash was correct.
