Hello, I need help with the first 2 sections of this problem set including the required. From what I understand 1. Is essentially the unadjusted trial balance. They are the highlighted text below: 1. Five journals (SJ, PJ, CRJ, CDJ, and the GJ) with December transactions, year-end adjustments, and closing entries recorded appropriately, 2. The two subsidiary ledgers (A/R and A/P) and the General Ledger with December postings and year-end balances, I will attach the entire document. The last 4 sections listed and their completion are not needed. Thank you for your time.
