Concept Introduction:

Adjusted Journal Entries: Adjustment entries are just like the journal entries and are basic for accounting. They are made in the closing period to adjust the expenses and incomes in the period in which they occurred. To show the true and fair financial position, it is essential to pass the adjustment entries. This includes the adjustments for the accrued interest, unearned revenues and the prepaid expenses. They can be termed as the closing entries as well from the accounting perspective.

To Prepare:

  1. Adjusted journal Entries as of 31st December, 2017

Explanation of Solution

  1. Given: Opening balance of office supplies is $4,000

Purchased during the year is $13,400

Closing balance of office supplies is $2,554

Office Supplies Expense=Opening balance of office supplies + Office supplies purchased during the year -Closing balance of office supplies=$4,000+$13,400-$2,554=$14,846

Journal Entry should be:

Particulars Debits Credits
Office supplies Expense $14,846  
To Office Supplies   $14,846

It reflects that the office supplies, an asset of the company, used during the year amounts to $14,846. Due to this, asset (office supplies) is decreased by 14,846 and it simultaneously hits the profit and loss account as expense by the same amount in the form of office supplies expense.

  1. Calculation of insurance expense out of prepaid insurance as of 31st December,, 2017

Insurance expensed out during the year = Pepaid insurance/Months of coverage                                                                           × Months coverage in the current yearPolicy A=$14,400/24×3=$1,800Policy B=$12,960/36×12=$4,320Policy C=$2,400/12×5=$1,000

Journal Entry should be:

Particulars Debits Credits
Insurance Expense $7,120  
To Prepaid Insurance   $7,120

It reflects that out of the prepaid insurance, Arnez Company expensed out $7,120 as insurance expense. Due to this transaction, the Company’s asset (prepaid Insurance) was decreased by $7,120 and simultaneously it hits the profit and loss account on the expense side by the same amount as insurance expense.

  1. Calculation of employee’s salaries to be paid on Monday, 6th January, 2018.

Employee's salaries to be paid= Salaries per day×No of  working days in a week=$1,960×5=$9,800

Journal Entry should be:

Particulars Debits Credits
Salaries Expense $9,800  
To Salaries Payable   $9,800

Due to this transaction, Company’s liabilities in the form of salaries payable has increased by $9,800 as it will be payable on 6th January, 2018 i.e., after the end of the financial year and simultaneously it hits the profit and loss account of the financial year ending 31st December, 2017 as salaries expense by $9,800.

  1. Calculation of annual depreciation on building.

Annual depreciation on building=(Cost price of building-Salvage Value)                                                              /Expected Useful life=($960,000-$45,000)/30=$30,500

Journal entry should be:

Particulars Debits Credits
Depreciation Expense-Building $9,800  
To Accumulated Depreciation-Building   $9,800

The effect of this transaction reflects that the value of building is depreciated by $30,500 and charged to profit and loss account as depreciation expense on building.

  1. Journal Entry of tenant falling to pay rent of December month on time
Particulars Debits Credits
Rent receivable $3,000  
To Rent Earned   $3,000

The effect of this transaction is that the asset (Rent Receivable) is created by the $3,000 and it appears in the Balance Sheet on the asset side and shows recovery to be made from tenant and simultaneously, income side of profit and loss account is increased by the same amount.

  1. Journal Entry of five month's rent received in advance.

Particulars Debits Credits
Cash $14,000  
To Unearned Rent   $14,000

The effect of above transaction is that the unearned rent should be shown on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet which reflects the services to be provided to the tenant against the rent received and simultaneously, company’s assets are increased by the same amount.

  1. Pass journal entries to record the first subsequent cash transactions in 2018 for parts c and e.
S. No. Date Particulars Debits Credits

L.L. Bean operates two factories that produce its popular Bean boots (also known as "duck boots") in its home state of Maine.  Since L.L. Bean prides itself on manufacturing its boots in Maine and not outsourcing, backorders for its boots can be high. In 2014, L.L. Bean sold about 450,000 pairs of the boots. At one point during 2014, it had a backorder level of about 100,000 pairs of boots. L.L. Bean can manufacture about 2,200 pairs of its duck boots each day with its factories running 24/7. In 2015, L.L. Bean expects to sell more than 500,000 pairs of its duck boots. As of late November 2015, the backorder quantity for Bean Boots was estimated to be about 50,000 pairs. Question: Now assume that 5% of the L.L. Bean boots are returned by customers for various reasons. L. Bean has a 100% refund policy for returns, no matter what the reason. What would the journal entry be to accrue L.L. Bean's sales returns for this one pair of boots?
