Hello,
Can someone please help me with the solution to this problem? I am enrolled in this course and just not understanding what I am to do. I know for a portion of the problem I use T accounts, but not sure what goes where. Also, I am not sure about the journal postings or the trial balance sheet. Any help you can provide would be great! I just want to try to understand this information and do well in the course. Thank you.
