2. B. The posting reference column is left blank when the journal entry is initially recorded. This column is used later when the journal entry amounts are transferred to the accounts in the ledger. Once the transaction is posted, the general ledger account number assigned to the account is entered in the posting reference of the general journal.

6. A. The journal entries that bring the accounts up to date at the end of the accounting period are called adjusting entries. All adjusting entries affect at least one income statement account and one balance sheet account. Thus, an adjusting entry will always involve a revenue or an expense account and an asset or a liability account. The four basic types of accounts require adjusting entries are (1) Prepaid expenses, (2) Unearned revenues, (3) Accrued revenues and (4) Accrued expenses. The following accounts require an adjustment: prepaid insurance, supplies, depreciation expense, salary expense, prepaid rent, and unearned fees.
