Answer:

He must prepare the income statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The last entries of the trial balance are temporary accounts that belong to the income statement. Tom should focus on them after finishing the adjusted trial balance. After he prepares the income statement, then he can proceed to close all the temporary accounts and calculate retained earnings.
