Answer to Question 1

Adjustments are needed to update certain account balances at the end of each period. These updates are needed because of timing differences between collecting cash and earning revenue, and timing differences between paying cash and incurring expenses. Without these adjustments, the proper amounts of revenues and expenses would not be recorded on the income statement and the statement of changes in shareholders' equity. Similarly, assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity would be misstated on the balance sheet.

Answer to Question 2

False
