Amanda -- apparently you don't realize that Jiskha Homework Help Forum has no connection with any school. None of us tutors have any idea what information is in Exercise 2-4.

Only once or twice (out of thousands of posts) have I ever seen another student post a timely response to such a question.

None of us tutors *has any idea . . .

To prepare an August 31 trial balance for Pose-for-Pics using the given information, follow these steps:

1. Open the following T-accounts: Cash, Office Supplies, Prepaid Insurance, Photography Equipment, H. Paris (Capital), Photography Fees Earned, and Utilities Expense.

2. Post the general journal entries to their respective T-accounts. This means you will record the specific debits and credits for each transaction in the appropriate T-account.

3. Once you've posted all the journal entries, calculate the balance for each account by adding up the debits and credits. The balance in a T-account is the difference between the total debits and total credits.

4. After calculating the balance for each account, list the balances in a trial balance.

The trial balance will contain the account names and their respective balances. It serves as a tool to ensure that the total debits equal the total credits, indicating that the books are in balance.

Here's an example of a trial balance for Pose-for-Pics:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Trial Balance - August 31

Account Name Debit ($) Credit ($)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Cash X
Office Supplies X
Prepaid Insurance X
Photography Equipment X
H. Paris, Capital X
Photography Fees Earned X
Utilities Expense X
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Total X X
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In this table, you will replace the 'X' with the respective balances for each account. The debit and credit columns represent the total debits and total credits for each account.

Remember to double-check that the total debits match the total credits in the trial balance.
