If total debit does not match total credit in adjustment table what does it indicate?

Correct answer: Error in calculation or classification

An adjustment table records correcting entries between partners. Like any properly balanced accounting entry, its total debit amount must equal its total credit amount. Debits and credits represent opposite sides of the same correction, so they cannot remain unequal when the table has been prepared correctly.

If the totals do not match, the difference signals an error. The mistake may be in arithmetic, in copying an amount, in applying the ratio, or in classifying a partner as receiving or giving an adjustment. The table should therefore be checked again carefully. Option A is correct. The mismatch does not indicate that cash is necessarily higher, nor does it mean that a bank is closed.
