I am preparing a 10 column worksheet and started with the unadjusted trial balances. How would I record an adjustment for a utilities expense that was not included in the unadjusted trial balance because the bill arrived after the trial balance was prepared?

I think it might fall under Accounts Payable. I find it difficult to believe all of these are column headers, they seem to me to be account names and thus row captions what you typically have is a debit to utilities expense and a credit to accounts payable adjusting the initial trail balance data so you should have an adjustment column for accrued expenses, just as you might have one for prepaid expenses,
