Continuing Cookie Chronicle 4 (CCC4)
Note that this is a rather difficult problem. You are asked to prepare financial statements and prepare and post closing entries, but you were not given the specific transactions for December. Instead, you are given the Adjusted Trial Balance for Dec. 31. I recommend that you take the balances on the ATB and write them in the correct ledger accounts. Just make a note to yourself in each ledger that this is the "Dec. 31 balance." Of course, if we were REALLY doing a set of books, we would have posted the entries for Dec. and this wouldn't be necessary.
Natalie had a very busy December.At the end of the month,after journalizing and posting the December transactions and adjusting entries. Natalie prepared the following adjusted trial balance.
