A) To prepare the adjusting and closing journal entries for the month-end January, let's review each event:

After preparing the adjusting and closing entries, we need to identify which journal entries would be included in the Adjusted Trial Balance (ATB) and the After-Closing Trial Balance (ACTB).
The Adjusted Trial Balance (ATB) will include all the adjusting entries (A) and the account balances after the closing entries have been made. It is prepared to ensure that the debit and credit totals are equal and the accounts are up to date.
The After-Closing Trial Balance (ACTB) will include all the account balances after the closing entries have been made (C). It is prepared to check the accuracy of the closing process and to ensure that the opening balances for the next accounting period are correct.
B) To prepare the general ledger accounts (using T-accounts) for all the activity from Jan 1 to Jan 31 and the Adjusted Trial Balance, we would need a detailed breakdown of all the accounts involved, including the specific dates of each transaction. Unfortunately, the provided information does not include these details, making it difficult to construct the accurate T-accounts. However, I can guide you on how to create the T-accounts and record the transactions if you provide the specific dates and account details for each event.
C) Without access to the trial balance after the adjustments, the account balances cannot be determined accurately, and therefore, the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of retained earnings cannot be prepared.
