Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Posting a $155 credit item as a debit will cause the trial balance to be out of balance by twice the amount of the error, which is $310. Therefore, the correct choice is A. B is incorrect because it is twice the amount of what the answer should be. C is incorrect because it only reflects the amount of the error, not how it affects the trial balance. D is incorrect because it suggests that there will be no difference, which is not true.
