Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness
Explanation:
Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and the employer canceled the debt.
In this case, Barry will have to include the $6,000 he stole in gross income from discharge of indebtedness. The gross income has to do with the sum of the wages, profits, salaries, rents, interest payments, and every other earnings, before the deductions of taxes or other deductions. Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.

Lane Company manufactures a single product that requires a great deal of hand labor. Overhead cost is applied on the basis of standard direct labor-hours. Variable manufacturing overhead should be $5.80 per standard direct labor-hour and fixed manufacturing overhead should be $3,087,000 per year.
The company’s product requires 4 pounds of material that has a standard cost of $12.50 per pound and 1.5 hours of direct labor time that has a standard rate of $13.90 per hour.The company planned to operate at a denominator activity level of 315,000 direct labor-hours and to produce 210,000 units of product during the most recent year. Actual activity and costs for the year were as follows:
Number of units produced 252,000
Actual direct labor-hours worked 409,500
Actual variable manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 1,351,350
Actual fixed manufacturing overhead cost incurred $ 3,276,000
Required:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year. Break the rate down into variable and fixed elements.(Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Predetermined Overhead Rate = $15.60 per DLH
Variable Rate = $5.80 per DLH
FIxed Rate = $9.80 per DLH
3a. Compute the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the year’s production.
3b. Complete the following Manufacturing Overhead T-account for the year:
4. Determine the reason for the underapplied or overapplied overhead from (3) above by computing the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances and the fixed overhead budget and volume variances.(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance).)
Answer:
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate for the year. Break the rate down into variable and fixed elements.
total standard overhead rate = $15.60standard variable overhead rate = $5.80standard fixed overhead rate = $9.803a. Compute the standard direct labor-hours allowed for the year’s production.
1.5 direct labor hours x 252,000 units = 378,000 hours
3b. Complete the following Manufacturing Overhead T-account for the year:
Manufacturing overhead
Debit Credit
Actual variable cost $1,351,350 Applied variable cost $2,192,400
Actual fixed costs $3,276,000 Applied fixed costs $3,704,400
$1,269,450
Adjustment for over applied
overhead expense $1,269,450
0 0
4. Determine the reason for the underapplied or overapplied overhead from (3)
two different factors affected the overhead costs:
Actual labor hours were higher than budgeted, since 378,000 should have been used to produce the 252,000 units, but 409,500 were used instead. That results in an unfavorable variance of 31,500 labor hours (8.3% variance). Even though labor hour variance was unfavorable, the actual overhead costs incurred were much lower than expected. The favorable variance regarding overhead costs was much larger than the unfavorable variance in labor hours. The actual total overhead per labor hour = $11.30 vs. $15.60 (standard), which represents a 27.6% favorable variance.Explanation:
variable overhead $5.80 per direct labor hour
fixed overhead $3,087,000
each unit requires:
4 pounds of materials at standard cost of $12.50 per pound
1.5 direct labor hours at standard rate of $13.90 per hour
fixed overhead per direct labor hour = $9.80
total budgeted production 210,000 units
total budgeted direct labor hours 315,000
actual units produced 252,000
actual direct labor hours 409,500
actual variable manufacturing $1,351,350
actual fixed manufacturing $3,276,000
applied variable cost = $5.80 x 378,000 labor hours = $2,192,400
applied fixed costs = $9.80 x 378,000 labor hours = $3,704,400
Compared with diversification based on intangible resources, diversification based on financial resources is: a. less imitable and more likely to create value on a long-term basis. b. more imitable and less likely to create value on a long-term basis. c. less imitable and less likely to create value on a long-term basis. d. more imitable and more likely to create value on a long-term basis.
Answer:
b. more imitable and less likely to create value on a long-term basis.
Explanation:
In Finance, diversification can be defined as an investment technique that focuses on distributing capital or portfolio across various investments.
Basically, the aim of adopting a diversification is to lessen or mitigate the degree of uncertainty of the portfolio by enhancing its high long-term returns.
Diversification helps financial experts or investors to complement or annul the losses associated with an asset class by the benefits of another asset class in a portfolio.
Compared with diversification based on intangible resources, diversification based on financial resources is more imitable or copied by rivals in the industry and less likely to create value on a long-term basis.
Diversification based on intangible resources, includes intellectual property, brand recognition, human resources, patents, customer lists, trademarks, copyrights, and goodwill etc.
Diversification based on financial resources, includes shares, money, bond, gold, debentures, checks, and promissory notes.
On the grant date, January 1st, 2015, the stock was quoted on the stock exchange at $63 per share. The fair value of the options on the grant date was estimated at $15 per option. The amounts of compensation expense ABC should recognize with respect to the options during 2015, 2016, and 2017 are:
Answer:
2015 $31,500
2016 $31,500
2017 $31,500
Explanation:
Number of Options in total × Fair Value of the Stock per option
Where
Number of Options in total = 63
Fair Value of the Stock per option =15
Hence:
(63*100) ×$15
=$6,300 ×$15
= $ 94,500
Compensation expense will be:
2015, 2016, and 2017 will give us 3 years
= $94,500/3
= $31,500 for 2015, 2016, and 2017
Fair value of the options is said to be evaluated on grant date and expenditure is been recognised in 3 years because the employee will be working for 3 years which is from year 2015 to 2017
An ordinary annuity selling at $14,130.15 today promises to make equal payments at the end of each year for the next twelve years (N). If the annuity’s appropriate interest rate (IN) remains at 8.00% during this time, the annual annuity payment (PMT) will be
Answer:
PMT = $1875.00
Explanation:
The annuity refers to a series of fixed payments made after an equal interval of time and for a definite time period. The formula for the present value of annuity is,
For ordinary annuity
PV of annuity = PMT * [(1 - (1+IN)^-n) / IN]
Plugging in the values for the available variables. We calculate the PMT to be,
14130.15 = PMT * [(1 - (1+0.08)^-12) / 0.08]
14130.15 = PMT * 7.536078017
14130.15 / 7.536078017 = PMT
PMT = $1875.000493 rounded off to $1875.00

Montana Mining Co. pays $3,721,000 for an ore deposit containing 1,525,000 tons. The company installs machinery in the mine costing $213,500, which will be abandoned when the ore is completely mined. Montana mines and sells 166,200 tons of ore during the year. Prepare the year-end entries to record both the ore deposit depletion and the mining machinery depreciation. Mining machinery depreciation should be in proportion to the mine’s depletion.
Answer:
Ore deposit depletion and Mining machinery depreciation Journal entries
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 405,528
Cr Accumulated depreciation 405,528
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 23,268
Cr Accumulated depreciation 23,268
Explanation:
Preparation of the year-end entries to record both the ore deposit depletion and the mining machinery depreciation of Montana Mining Co
Depletion of natural resources can be defined as the way in which the cost of natural resources is apportioned upto the period when it will be utilized which is why they are shown at cost in balance sheet.
The entry is to record depreciation charged on ore deposit depletion. Therefore To record this entry we have to debit depletion charges, and credit accumulated depreciation
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 405,528
Cr Accumulated depreciation 405,528
Computation of depletion cost per unit:
The depletion cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the net cost of the ore with the total units of capacity :
Depletion/units = Cost - Salvage/ Total unit of capacity
$3,721,000/1,525,000 tons
=$2.44
Hence, depletion per unit is $2.44.
Computation depletion amount on ore deposit:
The depletion amount on ore deposit can be calculated by multiplying the cost per depletion unit with the number of units utilized:
Depletion =Cost/Unit ×Units Utilized
$2.44×166,200 tones
=$405,528
Hence, depletion expenses on ore deposit amounts to $405,528.
The pass entry to record depreciation charged on mining machine :
Dr Depletion charge (Ore deposits) 23,268
Cr Accumulated depreciation 23,268
Computation of depreciation cost per unit:
The depletion cost per unit can be calculated by dividing the net cost of the ore with the total units of capacity :
Depletion/units = Cost - Salvage/ Total unit of capacity
$213,500/1,525,000 tons
=$0.14
Hence, depreciation per unit is $0.14.
Computation of depreciation amount on ore deposit:
The depletion amount on ore deposit can be calculated by multiplying the cost per depletion unit with the number of units utilized:
Depletion =Cost/Unit ×Units Utilized
$0.14×166,200 tones
=$23,268
Therefore the depreciation expenses on ore deposit amounts to $23,268
Levi Corporation (a U.S. company) has several transactions with foreign entities. Each transaction is denominated in the local currency unit of the country in which the foreign entity is located. On December 2, 20X1, Levi sold confectionary items to a foreign company at a price of 50,000 yen when the direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.15. The account has not been settled as of the year ended December 31, 20X1, when the exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.12. The foreign exchange gain or loss on Levi's records at year-end for this transaction will be
Answer: $1500 loss
Explanation:
From the question, On December 2, 20X1, Levi sold confectionary items to a foreign company by selling at a price of 50,000 yen when direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.15.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.15
= $57500
The account has not been settled as of the year ended December 31, 20X1, when exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.12.
Sale value in dollar = 50,000 × 1.12
= $56000
Foreign exchange loss:
= $57500 - $56000
= $1500 loss
On January 1, a company purchased a five-year insurance policy for $2,200 with coverage starting immediately. If the purchase was recorded in the Prepaid Insurance account, and the company records adjustments only at year-end, the adjusting entry at the end of the first year is:
Answer:
Debit Insurance Expense 440
Credit Prepaid Insurace 440
Explanation:
Since on January 1, the company purchased a five year insurance policy for $2,200 that means we have to divide the insurance policy amount of $2,200 by the numbers of year which is 5 years .
Hence:
$2,200/5 years
=440
Therefore the adjusting entry at the end of the first year is:
Debit Insurance Expense 440
Credit Prepaid Insurace 440
Management is considering using a new component that would increase the unit variable cost by $50. Since the new component would improve the company's product, the marketing manager predicts that monthly sales would increase by 500 units. What should be the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income of this change if fixed expenses are unaffected
Answer:
Because fixed costs will not change, the overall effect on the company's monthly net operating income will be equal to the contribution margin of the product once the new component is added.
Explanation:
The contribution margin is equal to: Revenue - Variable Costs.
We already know that the variable cost will be increased by $50 once new component is added, and that monthly sales are expected to increase by 500 units after that.
Depending on the price of the product, the amount sold, and the variable costs, we get the contribution margin, and this contribution margin will be exactly the same as the overall effect on the net operating income.
At the Millbrook High School cafeteria, students proceed along a series of stations in a single line: (1) get tray and utensils, (2) choose food, (3) select beverage, (4) pay. The school is concerned that students are taking too long to get their meal. The school has analyzed the capacities of each of the four steps in isolation and found there exists sufficient capacity at each resource in isolation. Which of the following is most likely to be causing the congestion?a. The bottleneck is probably at the last station because capacity is reduced the most when the bottleneck is at the end of the process. b. The implied utilization of the bottleneck is too low. c. Due to variability in processing times, both blocking and starving could be occurring. d. The process must be demand-constrained. e. The stations have similar utilizations.
Answer:
c. Due to variability in processing times, both blocking and starving could be occurring.
Explanation:
The problem here is that students take a long time to get their meal. It is understood that at each of the four stations there is ample space and so the most likely cause of delays is different processing times at four stations.
The problem of either blocking or starving arises when the processing times are very small or very large at one or two of the stations, which will significantly increase the cycle time of the operation.
hence, the correct option is c.

April 25 Received amount due from client that was billed on April 12
April 27 Paid full amount of accounts payable created on April 7
April 30 Cash dividends of $2,500 were paid to stockholders.
Answer:
See attached.
Explanation:
The question requires business events to be analyzed chronologically with each event's impact on the accounting equation.
The accounting equation states that Assets equal Liabilities plus Equity (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). The implication of this equation is that given each business transaction, Assets will always be equal to Liabilities and Equity. Two accounts or more are usually affected by each transaction. It may be two assets accounts or one asset and liabilities, etc. Expenses and Income impact the Retained Earnings, which is part of the Equity.
Assets are the resources owned by the business, while liabilities are financial obligations to third parties that contribute to the owned resources. Equity is the funds contributed by the stockholders, including the earnings retained from business. Equity, therefore, represents the ownership interest in the assets after liabilities have been deducted.
Stock A has an expected return of 17.8 percent, and Stock B has an expected return of 9.6 percent. However, the risk of Stock A as measured by its variance is 3 times that of Stock B. If the two stocks are combined equally in a portfolio, what would be the portfolio's expected return
Answer:
13.70%
Explanation:
The expected return of a portfolio is said to be the weighted average of the returns of the individual components,
Given that:
Stock A has an expected return = 17.8%
Stock B has an expected return = 9.6%
the risk of Stock A as measured by its variance is 3 times that of Stock B.
If the two stocks are combined equally in a portfolio;
Then :
The weight of both stocks will be 50% : 50 %
So the portfolio's expected return can be determined as follows:
Expected return for stock A = 50% × 17.8%
Expected return = 0.50 × 17.8%
Expected return = 8.9 %
Expected return for stock B = 50 % × 9.6 %
Expected return for stock B = 0.50 × 9.6%
Expected return for stock B = 4.8%
Expected return of the portfolio = summation of the expected return for both stocks
Expected return of the portfolio = 8.9 % + 4.8%
Expected return of the portfolio = 13.70%
The phone bill for a corporation consists of both fixed and variable costs. Refer to the fourminusmonth data below and apply the highminuslow method to answer the question. Minutes Total Bill January 470 $ 4 comma 500 February 200 $ 2 comma 695 March 180 $ 2 comma 650 April 320 $ 2 comma 830 If the company uses 390 minutes in May, how much will the total bill be? (Round any intermediate calculations to the nearest cent and your final answer to the nearest dollar.)
Answer:
Total cost= $3,989.65
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Minutes Total Bill
January 470 $4,500
February 200 $2,695
March 180 $2,650
April 320 $2,830
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost and fixed costs:
Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)
Variable cost per unit= (4,500 - 2,650) / (470 - 180)
Variable cost per unit= $6.37931
Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)
Fixed costs= 4,500 - (6.37931*470)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)
Fixed costs= 2,650 - (6.37931*180)
Fixed costs= $1,501.72
If the company uses 390 minutes in May:
Total cost= 1,501.72 + 6.37931*390
Total cost= $3,989.65
Sammy's Shovels had sales of $ 90,880 in 2010. The cost of goods sold was $ 34,863 , operating expenses (excluding depreciation) were $ 11,490 , interest expenses were $ 1,317 , depreciation expense was $ 7,961 , and dividends paid were $ 3,415 . The firm's tax rate is 27 percent. What did Sammy's Shovels report as net income (or, net profit) in 2010
Answer: $25731.77
Explanation:
The attached picture explains the way to solve the question. It would be noted that the expenses like the operating, depreciation, interest expense and the cost of good sold were all subtracted from the sales revenue.
Then the income before tax was $35249. Then the tax expense of 27% was deducted.
Income Tax expense = 27% of $35249 = $9517.23
Net profit = $35249 - $9517.23 = $25731.77
The net profit for Sammy Shovels is $25731.77.
Bob's lawn-mowing service is a profit-maximizing, competitive firm. Bob mows lawns for $30 each. His total cost each day is $320, of which $70 is a fixed cost. He mows 10 lawns a day. In the short run, Bob should____________ . In the long run, Bob should__________ the industry.
Answer:
In the short run, as long as the contribution margin is positive he should continue in the industry. In the long run, if the company keeps losing money, he should leave the industry.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Bob mows lawns for $30 each. His total cost each day is $320, of which $70 is a fixed cost. He mows 10 lawns a day.
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Total variable cost= 320 - 70= 250
Unitary varaible cost= 250/10= $25
Contribution margin= 30 - 25= $5
In the short run, as long as the contribution margin is positive he should continue in the industry. In the long run, if the company keeps losing money, he should leave the industry.
Why do you think the value of the Indian rupee declined against that of the U.S. dollar after the U.S. Fed had announced that it would begin to wind down its economic stimulus program
Answer:
Because the United States interest moved up and Indian Rupees depends mostly on the capital from the United States of America.
Explanation:
So, about the Indian rupees there are things we must note; (1). The inflation on Indian Rupees is high, (2). The problem of deficit account by the Rupee.
The two problems mentioned above are the problems that made Indian Rupees to rest or relent mostly on the United States of America Fed's cash flow. So, when U.S. Fed announced that it would begin to wind down its economic stimulus program the value of Indian Rupees DECREASES.

g Real and nominal variables are highly intertwined, and changes in the money supply change real GDP. Most economists would agree that this statement accurately describes a. both the short run and the long run. b. the short run, but not the long run. c. the long run, but not the short run. d. neither the long run nor the short run.
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
GDP usually, is fixed in the short run. Thus, in the short-term, money supply will increase aggregate demand and prices will follow.
In the long term, however, real GDP (which is economic output that has been adjusted for price fluctuations), an increase in the money supply will create an increase in the GDP due to aggregate demand.
The US economy, for example, displays a strong positive correlation between the amount of money supplied and it's GDP growth between 1994 and 2009.

Garrison 16e Rechecks 2017-10-31
Answer:
Direct material price variance= $1,638 favorable
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials 7.7 ounces $ 2.00 per ounce $ 15.40
Purchases of raw materials 23,400 ounces
Actual cost of raw materials purchases $ 45,100
To calculate the direct material price variance, we need to use the following formula:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity

Stockholders' equity for Oriole company can be derived using : Common stock + Retained earnings - Treasury stock
Stockholders' equity = 1,610,000 + 782,000 - 217,000
Stockholders' equity = $ 2,175,000.
We also need to know that deferred income taxes is not a component of stockholders' equity thus it will not be considered in stockholders' equity calculation.
Correct answer is $ 21,75,000.
Business Calculators Inc. will pay an annual dividend of $2.25 per share next year. The company just announced that future dividends will be increasing by 0.75 percent annually. How much are you willing to pay for one share of this stock if you require a rate of return of 12.25 percent?
Answer: $19.57
Explanation:
You should be willing to pay for the what the stock is valued at the moment and you can use the Gordon Growth Model to value this stock.
Formula is,
Vs = D1/ Re - g
Vs = Value of stock
D1 = the next dividend
Re = Required Return
g = growth rate
Value of stock is,
= 2.25 / ( 12.25% - 0.75%)
= $19.565
= $19.57
Bloom Corporation purchased $1,000,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds at par with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until they matured in 2025, so Bloom classifies their investment as HTM. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $600,000 during 2018.
Required:
For each of the following scenarios, prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2018, and indicate how the scenario will affect the 2018 income statement (ignoring income taxes).
1. Bloom now believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses.
2. Bloom does not plan to sell the Taylor bonds prior to maturity, and does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses.
Answer:
1)
Since Bloom plans to sell the bonds, it must record the entire loss as credit loss (loss on sale of bonds)
Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 400,000
Cr Discount on bond investment - Taylor bonds 400,000
Credits losses must be recognized as a loss in earnings in the income statement.
2)
Journal entry to record credit loss:
Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 250,000
Cr Discount on bond investment - Taylor bonds 250,000
Journal entry to record non-credit loss:
Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 150,000
Cr Fair value adjustment - Taylor bonds 150,000
Non-credit losses must be recognized as part of other comprehensive income/loss and must be disclosed separately than credit losses. They must be reported in the balance sheet (they lower retained earnings directly), not the income statement.
A jewelry firm buys semiprecious stones to make bracelets and rings. The supplier quotes a price of $8.20 per stone for quantities of 600 stones or more, $8.60 per stone for orders of 400 to 599 stones, and $9.10 per stone for lesser quantities. The jewelry firm operates 101 days per year. Usage rate is 19 stones per day, and ordering costs are $39. a. If carrying costs are $2 per year for each stone, find the order quantity that will minimize total annual cost. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.) Order quantity stones b. If annual carrying costs are 21 percent of unit cost, what is the optimal order size
Answer:
a. 274
b. 295
Explanation:
a. Optimum Order
Optimum Order = √( (2×Total Annual Demand×Ordering cost per order) / Holding Cost per unit)
= √ ((2×101×19×$39) / $2)
= 273.57
= 274
b. Optimum Order
Optimum Order = √( (2×Total Annual Demand×Ordering cost per order) / Holding Cost per unit)
= √ ((2×101×19×$39) / $8.20 ×0.21)
= 294.83
= 295
Masters Corp. issues two bonds with 20-year maturities. Both bonds are callable at $1,050. The first bond is issued at a deep discount with a coupon rate of 4% and a price of $580 to yield 8.4%. The second bond is issued at par value with a coupon rate of 8.75%.
a. What is the yield to maturity of the par bond? Why is it higher than the yield of the discount bond?
b. If you expect rates to fall substantially in the next two years, which bond has the higher expected rate of return?
c. In what sense does the discount bond offer "implicit call protection"?
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.
b)
If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.
c)
Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant
People are willing to pay more for a diamond than for a bottle of water because a. the marginal benefit of an extra diamond far exceeds the marginal benefit of an extra bottle of water. b. producers of diamonds have a much greater ability to manipulate diamond prices than producers of water have to manipulate water prices. c. the marginal cost of producing an extra diamond far exceeds the marginal cost of producing an extra bottle of water. d. water prices are held artificially low by governments, since water is necessary for life.
Answer:
the marginal benefit of an extra diamond far exceeds the marginal benefit of an extra bottle of water.
Explanation:
The paradox of value also known as the diamond–water paradox stares that although water is more useful than diamond because it is needed for survival, diamonds are more expensive than water. This is so because the marginal value of a diamond is higher than the marginal value of water.

Prepare the adjusting journal entries for the following transactions. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No Journal Entry Required" in the first account field.) Supplies for office use were purchased during the year for $700, of which $200 remained on hand (unused) at year-end. Interest of $350 on a note receivable was earned at year-end, although collection of the interest is not due until the following year. At year-end, salaries and wages payable of $4,600 had not been recorded or paid. At year-end, one-half of a $3,000 advertising project had been completed for a client, but nothing had been billed or collected. Redeemed a gift card for $700 of services.
Answer:
Adjusting Journal Entries:
Debit Supplies Expense $500
Credit Supplies $500
To record supplies used during the year.
Debit Interests on Note Receivable $350
Credit Interest on Note $350
To record interest earned, but not received.
Debit Salaries & Wages Expense $4,600
Credit Salaries & Wages Payable $4,600
To record accrued salaries and wages.
Debit Account Receivable (Advertising Project) $1,500
Credit Service Revenue (Advertising Project) $1,500
To record one-half of advertising project completed.
Debit Cash Account $700
Credit Gift Card $700
To record redemption of a gift card of services.
Explanation:
Adjusting entries are made at the end of an accounting period to record accrued expenses and revenue, depreciation charge, deferred expenses and revenue. These adjustments bring the accounts to agree with the accrual concept which insists that transactions which do not impact cash flows must be recognized in the period they occur.
