Solution.
Q4 why was 1,500 added and subtracted on the debit side,
Because Computer purchase on account worth $1,500,
That means , Supplies account Debited ( Asset increse ) and Account Payable Credited ( Libilities Increse )
In nutshell this is right entry and no adjustment needed.
Q5 why is the difference of $621 added on the credited side.
Service provided on account Worth $690.
That means , Account receiveable account incresed by 690.( Increse in Asset) and Service revanue increse by $690 ( libilities Incresed)
But libilities Incresesd by only $69 so Libilities should be incresed by $621.
