Before you begin, identify which adjusting entry goes with which additional account. As you go through each of these, consider the other sides of the adjusting entry transaction and identify related accounts. Keep in mind that you will be making an adjusting entry for each of these that affects at least one income statement account (revenues or expenses) and one balance sheet account (assets or liabilities). In the case of the insurance transaction, you will have to calculate the amount of insurance expired. In the case of supplies, you will need to calculate the amount of supplies used (expense). In the case of rent, you will need to calculate the amount of rent earned (revenue).

2. Determine the balances of the accounts affected by the adjusting entries, and prepare an adjusted trial balance.
