What are you stuck on?

Here are some check figures for your Debits and Credits:
Trial Balance = 52,000
Adjusting Entries = 3,600
Adjusted Trial Balance = 53,700
Income Statement 33,000
Balance Sheet = 25,800
Closing Entries = 33,000
Post-Closing Balance Sheet = 25,800

Note: For the Adjusted Trial Balance and Balance Sheet you will have a difference in Debits and Credits, which is Net Income.

Also your closing entries will be Income Statement accounts.
