Two months (July and August) have passed since Ms. Valli has seen the financial statements for All About You Spa. It is time to begin their preparation. Several accounts need adjusting. These include the accounts you adjusted in Chapter 4 as well as any accounts involved with merchandising.
Adjusting Entry Information
Merchandise Inventory Adjustment (a)
A physical count of inventory was taken, and the inventory was valued at $11,310.
Supplies Adjustments (b) and (c)
A physical count has been taken of the two supplies accounts. The values of the remaining inventories of supplies are as follows:
Prepaid Insurance Adjustment (d)
A review of the insurance records determined that $233.34 in liability insurance coverage had been used during the last two months.
Estimated depreciation amounts for the two equipment accounts are as follows:
Wages Expense/Wages Payable Adjustment
There is no need for a Wages Expense/Wages Payable adjustment because the end of the fiscal period did not come in the middle of a pay period.
Required
- 1. Complete a work sheet (if required by your instructor). Ignore this step if using CLGL.
- 2. Journalize the adjusting entries in the general journal.
- If you are preparing the adjusting entries with Working Papers, enter your transactions beginning on page 16.
- 3. Post the adjusting entries to the general ledger accounts.
- Ignore this step if you are using CLGL.
- 4. Prepare an adjusted
trial balance as of August 31, 20--.

Prepare worksheet for A Spa as of August.
Explanation of Solution
Income statement: The financial statement which reports revenues and expenses from business operations and the result of those operations as net income or net loss for a particular time period is referred to as income statement.
Balance sheet: This financial statement reports a company’s resources (assets) and claims of creditors (liabilities) and stockholders (stockholders’ equity) over those resources. The resources of the company are assets which include money contributed by stockholders and creditors. Hence, the main elements of the balance sheet are assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity.
Worksheet: A worksheet is a spreadsheet used while preparing a financial statement. It is a type of form having multiple columns and it is used in the adjustment process. The use of a worksheet is optional for any organization. A worksheet can neither be considered as a journal nor a part of the general ledger.
Prepare worksheet for A Spa.

Journalize the adjusting entries in the general journal
Explanation of Solution
Adjusting entries: Adjusting entries are those entries which are recorded at the end of the year, to update the income statement accounts (revenue and expenses) and balance sheet accounts (assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity) to maintain the records according to accrual basis principle.
General journal: This is a journal used to record infrequent transactions like adjusting entries, closing entries, accounting errors, sale of assets, or bad debts expense.
Journalize the adjusting entries.
