Questions 4 On January 12, 2018 Julie prepaid $1,600 for pet care services to be provided each Friday for 8 weeks for her Yellow Lab, Honey. Mookie The Beagle Concierge recorded the entire $1,600 as Sales. At the end of the accounting period on January 31, 3 weeks (01/12, 01/19, 01/26) of the pet care services had been provided to Honey, so 5 weeks of services or $1,000 ($1,600/8 = $200 per week) had not been earned as of the end of January. Since $1,000 had not been earned, the $1,000 is a liability because Mookie The Beagle Concierge has an obligation to provide the pet care services or return the $1,000 to the customer. So an adjusting entry is needed to bring the accounts up to date at January 31. Question 5 Interest on Mookie The Beagle COncierge's Loan Payable to CK has been incurred, but not recorded or paid.

Interest Expense of $5.00 must be recorded as an accrued expense and Accounts Payable, a liability, recorded for the amount that Mookie the beagle concierge is obligated to pay later. so an adjusting entry is needed to bring accounts up to date at january 31. Questions 6 during january mary dolan, a subcontractor, prodived pet care services to julie's honey for three fridays in janaury, totaling 24 hours at $10 per hour. ck overlooked recording this subcontractor expense since mary had not been paid for these services yet. so at january 31, an adjusting entry is needed to record subcontractor expense that will be paid later. in the future, ck is hoping that the qbo time tracking will assist in avoiding these types of oversights going forward.
The Effect Of Prepaid Taxes On Assets And Liabilities
Many businesses estimate tax liability and make payments throughout the year (often quarterly). When a company overestimates its tax liability, this results in the business paying a prepaid tax. Prepaid taxes will be reversed within one year but can result in prepaid assets and liabilities.

Trial balance helps to check the accuracy of posting the ledger accounts. It helps the accountant to assist in preparing final accounts. It also helps the accountant to check whether all the debits and credits of items are recorded and posted accurately. Like in a balance sheet debit and credit side should be equal, similarly in trial balance debit balance and credit balance should tally.
