The trial balance for a company shows the following balances (debit unless stated):\nCash \(5,000\), Debtors \(12,000\), Creditors \(9,000\) (credit), Sales \(20,000\) (credit), Purchases \(8,000\), Rent Expense \(2,500\). The debit side totals \(27,500\) and the credit side totals \(29,000\). It is later found that a payment of \(1,200\) to a creditor was recorded as a debit to Cash instead of a credit to Cash, and a sales return of \(300\) was omitted from the Sales account. After correcting these errors, does the trial balance balance? If not, state the amount and whether the debit or credit side is in excess.
