Using the journal and T-accounts provided, record the transactions that occurred during 2014. If no specific date is provided for a transaction, leave the date column blank. IMPORTANT: Since there are several transactions for which no date is given, the journal entries do NOT need to be in chronological order. All adjusting and closing entries should have December 31, 2014 as the date.

Prepare the balance sheet, statement of retained earnings and income statement for Harriets Hats, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Record the closing entries for the company (this step is often skipped, dont lose these points).
