Transaction Worksheet

I have completed the transaction worksheet but cannot get it to balance!! The credits and debits are given. I can't figure out if i'm not substracting something or is something is in the wrong column(?)-If I can't complete the transaction workwheet correctly, then the whole assignment with common-size percentages and other calculations I have to do will be wrong and my essay will be wrong! Please help! The transaction calculator and given debits and credits are there in attachments with financial statements.
