Chapter 04 Question 03 Sweeney & Allen, a large marketing firm, adjusts its accounts at the end of each month. The following information is available for the year ending December 31: 1. A bank loan had been obtained on December 1. Accrued interest on the loan at December 31 amounts to $1,020. No interest expense has yet been recorded. 2. Depreciation of the firm’s office building is based on an estimated life of 30 years. The building was purchased four years ago for $340,000. 3. Accrued, but unbilled, revenue during December amounts to $68,000. 4. On March 1, the firm paid $1,800 to renew a 12-month insurance policy. The entire amount was recorded as Prepaid Insurance. 5. The firm received $15,000 from King Biscuit Company in advance of developing a six-month marketing campaign. The entire amount was initially recorded as Unearned Revenue. At December 31, $3,400 had actually been earned by the firm. 6. The company’s policy is to pay its employees every Friday. Because December 31 fell on a Wednesday, there was an accrued liability for salaries amounting to $2,200. Required: a. Record the necessary adjusting journal entries on December 31.
2. Depreciation on office building = $340,000/30 years × 1/12 = $944. 4. Insurance expense = $1,800/12 months = $150. b. By how much did Sweeney & Allen’s net income increase or decrease as a result of the adjusting entries performed in part a? (Ignore income taxes.) $68,000 + $3,400 − $1,020 − $944 − $150 − $2,200 = $67,086 Increase.
