ACC 201 Milestone Two Guidelines and Ru
ic
Overview: In this milestone, you will move through the next phase of the accounting cycle by creating the trial balance, adjusting entries, and adjusted trial
alance. Completing the adjusting entries implements the matching, timing, and periodicity of the generally accepted accounting principles. Omission of this
step will show a higher net income than there actually is, which could cause users of the financial statements to make an inco
ect decision and suffer financially.
Prompt: You will find the provided data for your second milestone in the appendix at the end of this document. The data have been separated from the prompt
so that you can more easily view the full scope of this assignment. Links have been provided to help you locate the information.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Incorporate the feedback that you received from your Milestone One submission on Steps 1–4.
A. Step One: Complete the “July Journal Entries” tab in your workbook using the Step One data in the appendix.
B. Step Two: Complete the “August Journal Entries” tab in your workbook using the Step Two data in the appendix.
C. Step Three: Complete the “September Journal Entries” tab in your workbook using the Step Three data and updated scenario information in the

workbook and copy the journal entries from the inventory evaluation page into your journal for this month to ensure the impact of
merchandising is reflected in your reporting.
D. Step Four: Transfer posted entries to T accounts.
II. Apply the accrual basis of accounting to co
ectly create adjusting entries in the preparation of financial statements:
A. Step Five: Prepare the unadjusted trial balance. Note that you should use the T account balances completed in the previous step to prepare the
unadjusted trial balance portion of the “Trial Balance” tab in your workbook.
B. Step Six: Complete the “Adjusting Entries” tab in your workbook using the Step Six data in the appendix. Note that you should take the adjusting
entries from this worksheet and enter them into the “Trial Balance” tab in your workbook.
C. Step Seven: Apply adjusting entries to create the adjusted trial balance. Note that the adjusting entries from Step Six will apply to affected
accounts in the unadjusted trial balance to a
ive at the adjusted trial balance.
