72. What is the major difference between the unadjusted trial balance and the adjusted trial balance?
The adjusted trial balance will show the net income (loss) as an additional account.
Unlike the adjusted trial balance, the unadjusted trial balance will continue with the end-of-period processing

The adjusted trial balance includes the postings of the adjustments for the period in the balance of the
accounts.
