From the following list of steps in the accounting cycle, identify what two steps are missing: a. Transactions are analyzed and recorded in the journal. b. Transactions are posted to the ledger. c. An unadjusted trial balance is prepared. d. An optional end-of-period spreadsheet is prepared. e. Adjusting entries are journalized and posted to the ledger. f. An adjusted trial balance is prepared. g. Financial statements are prepared. h. A post-closing trial balance is prepared.

d. Adjustment data are assembled and analyzed.

h. Closing entries are journalized and posted to the ledger.

Explanation:

The fourth step is missing which is to adjust the data. After the unadjusted trial balance is prepared, if the debit side and the credit side do not match, the data will need to be adjusted and that is what this step is for.

The penultimate step is also missing being the journalizing of the closing entries and posting them to the ledger. This is done to close out the accounts for the year and bring all accounts except permanent ones to zero.
