    You need to do adjusting entries for items A through F. For item A you need to calculate the amount, which will be the difference between your account balance and the actual amount onhand. The other items the amounts are given to you.

    The best way to start this problem is set up T accounts for all of your accounts, do your adjusting entries, then post your adjusting entries to your T accounts.

    From your accout balances you can set up a Worksheet with columns for your beginning account balances, which is known as your Trial Balance. Then you add two more columns for your adjustments. Now you can do an Adjusted Trial Balance which should be account balances after your adjustments, which will be two more columns.

    After your adjusted trial balance you need to add 4 more columns to your Worksheet; 2 columns for the income statement and 2 columns for the balance sheet. This will help you in preparing your financial statements.
