Prepare reversing entry.

Explanation of Solution

Reversing entries:

Several Adjusting entries are needed to update all the balances in the financial statements in order to project true financial information and to maintain the records according to accrual basis principle. Some of these adjusting entries must be reversed at the beginning of a next accounting period to simplify the recording of transactions. Reversing entry is the opposite of adjusting entry.
