Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Enter the beginning balances and post the entries to the stockholders equity T-accounts. (Post entries in the order of journal entries posted in the previous part. For accounts that have zero ending balance, the entry should be the balance date and zero for the amount.)
