I haven't came across this in accounting this is my first time,what's it mean to omitted adjusted trial balance columns on word sheet.
Do I not put in the additional data? If so how does that work?

I am half asleep I should explain this a little better
I have a trial balance of a company it was prepared from the records of the company on Nov 30,20x2,the close of its fisical year
Then I have all accounts listed (I won't list them as I don't want the answers)

After that the additional data

Then asks me to do prepare the worksheet (the adjusted trial balance columns are to be omitted.
I am very confused now
Not sure if it is from no sleep or what,but I just don't get this
I need help
Thanks in advance

If I understand what you are trying to do you start with your trial balance, then transfer the account balances to your financial statement columns i.e. Income Statement and Balance Sheet. Your Income Statement debits and credits will not equal so you will have to add one entry which will be net income.

I have attached a sample worksheet in Excel 97-2003 format so you can see what one should look like.

What I am wanting to know is it tells me on worksheet to omitted the adjusted trial balance
What am I suppose to do with those adjustments that accrued

This is how the questions go

Thank you in advance for your time

Monica, It really doesn't make sense to me either. It sounds like they want you to do the columns for the trial balance and adjustments, and then to prepare the Income Statement. It doesn't really make sense because you are going to have to do the calculations for the trial balance plus or minus the adjustments. It certainly isn't something that would be done in real life.

WOW!! Thank you,at least I now know I am not crazy.. at first when I read it I was awake for 48 hours I thought I might have been seeing things.So closed the books and came back to it the next day and I was at a loss
This is a exam question is half way through my course and a huge part of my mark.. At a loss what to do now
