Question

Below are the transactions for October. I need to create a Journal Entry, General Ledger and Trial Balance. I understand the General Ledger and Trial balance and how to extract that information but I am having trouble understanding the Journal Entries. Below the transactions are what I have for the Journal Entries.The General Ledger and Trial Balance are a plus if you wish to do them but i'm not asking you to answer that. I just need clarification on what I am doing wrong in the Journal Entry because when I extract the information to the General Ledger and then into the Trial Balance, the numbers do not match what the teacher has as the answer for the total. In the Journal Entry, the total for debit/credit is $22,856 and the total in the Trial Balance is $18,662. Any help is appreciated.
