Expert Solution

Some of the activities mentioned in question doesn't have journal entries as they don't make any transaction on Potter company

They are:

December 31^st, 2020 stock price and income
March 1^st, 2021 2-1 stock split
December 31^st, 2021 stock price and income
July 1^st, 2022 announcement of not paying dividend
December 31^st, 2022 stock price and loss

On July 1^st, 2021 it needs to be observed that there are 800 shares instead of 400 because prior to that there is 2-1 stock split which is not recorded in Journal.
