I am so stuck on this problem. I have finished the adjusting journals, which I included below but when I go through the financial statements, my balance sheet never equals out. Can someone help to take me through the the adjusted balance, income statement, statement of stockholders' equity, and the balance sheet?

I have my financial statement answers on my excel sheet but cannot transfer them onto this page legibly. Hopefully you can show me where I am going wrong. Thank you!
