This is a continuation of a problem with adjusting entries. Once you have your adjusted trial balance you will prepare your financial statements. After your financial statements you need to close out the income statement accounts to the income summary account, then close out your income summary account to retained earnings(on the balance sheet), then close out the cash dividends to retained earnings, finally you need to prepare a post-closing balance sheet.

Note: Use a Worksheet for this whole problem. I have attached a Worksheet that has been completed up to the Adjusted Trial Balance and have included the other columns you will need to finish this problem.
