So I was given an unadjusted trial balance (attached picture) And this is the adjustment I have to make: "The bank account was changed to an interest bearing account in December. The amount of interest earned in December was $54. This amount was reported on the december bank statement which was received early in January and has not been recorded on the books" Can you tell me what accounts I would debit and credit? and how I would solve this step by step if need be.
