    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.
