Solution

The incorrect statement concerning the adjusted trial balance is:

c. the adjusted trial balance lists the account balances segregated by assets and liabilities

The adjusted trial balance does not segregate the account balances by assets and liabilities. Instead, it lists all accounts (assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses) in one list, showing the balances after adjustments have been made. The purpose of the adjusted trial balance is to ensure that the total amount of debit balances in the ledger equals the total amount of credit balances.
