Need help solving these problems:
1. Analyze the differences between the unadjusted and adjusted trial balances to determine the adjustments that likely were made. Show the results of your analysis by preparing the journal entries that were made.
2. Explain why each adjusting journal entry needs to be made. You should have an explanation for each adjusting entry
3. Explain the importance of the revenue recognition and expense recognition principles.
Please give positive ratings so I can keep answering. It would help me a lot. Please comment if you have any query. Thanks! |
