Introduction:
The assignment is about the creation of a worksheet. It has the general ledger accounts titles
in the first column and is followed by the debit and the credit amounts under the head of
unadjusted trial balance and the same are then exposed to various adjustments that are
undertaken at the end of period such as the reporting or the recording of the depreciation
amount. After then the adjustments are undertaken into account and the effects of these
adjustments are brought into the trial balance which is then termed as the Adjusted Trial
Balance. This Adjusted Trial Balance is then used for the purposes of preparing the financial
statements.
Detailed analysis:
The worksheet generally has a general ledger account which contains the titles of the
accounts. There would be one debit and one credit. And this would be for each one of the
following headings:
1. The first step for preparing the adjusted trial balance is to prepare the unadjusted trial
balance. Trial balance is an important accounting worksheet and is a part for closing
the books. This worksheet summarizes all the entries posted in the ledgers. Initially,
the entries are recorded in the general ledgers and then the balances from these
ledgers are transferred to the trial balance which helps in giving a bird eye view for
the transactions entered. Further, it also helps in identifying the errors done at the time
of posting entries in the ledgers. The trial balance generally contains three columns,

ACCOUNTING WORKSHEET 4
namely account titles or description, debit amounts and credit amounts. Once all the
balances from ledgers are entered in the trial balance the total of debit and credit
amounts should be equal to each other. If the balance does not matches, it means there
is an mathematical error and before proceeding further this error needs to be rectified,
else all the financial statements will reflect false picture and does not serve the
purpose. Generally, the errors for non-matching of debit and credit side of trial
balance are, posting of entries on the wrong side, posting of entries in wrong ledgers,
error of omission, i.e. non posting of entry in one ledger, entries posted twice or
duplicate entries. So, the trial balance is prepared to keep a check on all these errors
and to prepare error free financial statements. The unadjusted Trial Balance in the
given case is as follows:

690 Interest Expense $4,400
$9,71,580 $9,71,580
The total amount of the debit and the credit must always be equal since only then the Trial
Balance would be considered to be complete. The above totals are equal to $9,71,580
(Alison, 2017).
2. The next step is the journalising of the adjustments. The adjustment journal entries are
recorded after preparation of unadjusted trial balance. These entries are necessary for
preparing accounts under accrual method of accounting. These entries relates to
income statement and balance sheet account. Examples of these entries include
charging depreciation, recording supplies consumed, recording amortization of
prepaid and intangibles, recording unearned revenue, recording unrecognized income
or expense for the period etc. Adjusting entries are also made to rectify any error done
in a prior period and are also known as “balance day adjustments”. These entries are
recorded yearly or at the end of each reporting period.
The purpose of these entries is to make the accounts reflect the true and fair view and
make the accounts on accrual basis. That means it is not always necessary that only
receipt and payment of money makes the transactions, non-receipt of money and

rendering pf services is also a transaction and needs to be recorded. After the
adjusting entries are made, then they are posted to the general ledgers account like
any other entries.
In the given question, the following are the adjustment entries:
 Interest accrued but not paid to the tune of $24,120
 Ending supplies remains in hand at $602.50
 Value remaining in prepaid insurance $964
 Charging of depreciation for the year on office furniture, office equipment, store
equipment and automobile
 To record portion of unearned revenue, earned during the year at $15,075.
Now the above are the adjustments that have to be made. This is mainly done by recording
the journal entry. There would be a debit and a corresponding credit. The following are the
journal entries for the stated adjustments:

3. Now, the next step is to post the above adjusted entries in the ledgers and to prepare
the adjusted trial balance. Adjusted trial balance is a complete trial balance which
contains the unadjusted ledger balances and then the adjustment entries. The purpose
of preparing adjusted trial balance is to
 Check for the errors like totalling errors, omission errors or other errors as
discussed above. This check is done by ensuring that the total of debits and
credits column matches.
 Facilitate the preparation of financial statements. The financial statements like
income statement, balance sheet are prepared on the basis of adjusted trial
balance.
The following is the worksheet after taking into account the adjustments as have been listed

transfer the amount of expenses or incomes incurred or earned during the year to
retained earnings account. The closing entry in the above case is as follows:
