    You give me a trial balance and I shall convert it for you to a:-

    1) Profit & Loss Account , and
    2) A Balance Sheet.

    Make sure it is NOT homework.

    kasfi,

    1) I did say a trial balance.
    2) this is an exercise that contains adjustments.
    3) you need to do the adjustments.
    4) you can then prepare a trial balance after the adjustments.
    5) try to use a chart of accounts, this will help idntify the accounts,
    If at all possible.
    6) Make sure the trial balance, balances.
    7) clearly indicate what are the debits and the credits.
    8) submit it here and I shall endeveavour to help you convert it to a profit and loss and a balance sheet.

    A balance sheet is done after an adjusted trial balance, not a trial balance.

    From a trial balance you do adjusting entries, then you prepare an adjusted trial balance, finally an Income Statement and a Balance Sheet can be prepared.
