Explanation:

Company B with the adjusting events above, usually recorded through the adjusting journal, can also be adjusted directly in the trial balance with their effects on the financial statements clearly demonstrated.  Expenses have debit accounts while liabilities have credit accounts.  Expenses reduce the net income, revenues increase the net income, while liabilities and assets can be reduced or increased as the case may be.
