Tips from the Professor
You need to make two adjustments to the data that is given in the assignment. You can first adjust the trial balance than go to the financial statements. Each adjustment will have two sides. Thus, debit & credit sides of the trial balance will remain equal after the adjustments. Email me if you have any doubts.
After you are done with the two adjustments, please prepare income statement & balance sheet in good format.
Please do not forget to include analysisof your work as required by points 1, 2, & 3.
