Trailing slash on the main website - do i need a 301 ? Is my 301 correct?

Hello, Im a bit confused. If i use a tool like majestic to look at my website links, www.example.com and www.example.com**/ have huge difference in their authority.** Do i need to make a 301 redirect to the site with the splash or not? Will google itself understand that they are my main site?

Is this the "http://www.website.com.com/"/> correct canonical? Meaning it has trailing splash and also

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.example.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/$1 [L,R=301]  - this one has trailing splash, correct?

James, I think you are totally incorrect. You can not remove the training splash from your homepage. And all the canonical tags should also include that I'm pretty sure. (I mean here the homepage canonical)
