Note:  This is a modified assignment from what is listed on the materials tab of the student web site. As I mentioned above, please take advantage of using this template before you get frustrated with this assignment.  It is hard, and I am not looking for perfection with the numbers, but instead a good faith effort.

 (The question is:  Prepare a trial balance sheet for the Portland After School Program for the second six months of operation following the format shown in this chapter.)
