Prepare journal entries for each transaction.
Explanation of Solution
Journal entry: Journal entry is a set of economic events which can be measured in monetary terms. These are recorded chronologically and systematically.
Accounting Equation:
The accounting equation implies the relationship between the assets, liabilities, and the stockholders equity. The balance of both the assets and the liabilities, stockholders equity must be equally balanced. The accounting equation is as follows;
- a. Journalize the issuance of common stock.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 1 | Cash (A+) | 50,000 | |
Common stock (SE+) | 50,000 | ||
(To record the issuance of common stock) |
Table (1)
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, an increase in cash increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit cash account by $50,000.
- Common stock is a component of stockholder equity account. Thus, an increase in common stock increases the value of stockholders equity account. Hence, common stock account is being credited to increase its balance by $50,000.
- b. Journalize the purchase of equipment.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 2 | Equipment (A+) | 20,000 | |
Cash (A–) | 20,000 | ||
(To record the purchase of equipment) |
Table (2)
- Equipment is an asset account. Thus, an increase in equipment account increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit equipment account by $20,000.
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, a decrease in cash decreases the value of asset account. Hence, credit cash account by $20,000.
- c. Journalize the cash receipt.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 3 | Cash (A+) | 5,000 | |
Service revenue (R+, SE+) | 5,000 | ||
(To record the cash received for the service rendered) |
Table (3)
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, an increase in cash increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit cash account by $5,000.
- Service revenue is a stockholder’s equity account. Thus, an increase in service revenue increases the value of stockholder’s equity account. Hence, service revenue account is being credited to increase its balance by $5,000.
- d. Journalize the rent earned.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 4 | Cash (A+) | 2,000 | |
Accounts receivable (A+) | 8,000 | ||
Service revenue (R+, SE+) | 10,000 | ||
(To record the service provided partly for cash and partly on account) |
Table (4)
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, an increase in cash increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit cash account by $2,000.
- Accounts receivable is an asset account. Thus, an increase in accounts receivable increases the value of asset account. Hence, accounts receivable account debited by $8,000.
- Service revenue is a stockholder’s equity account. Thus, an increase in service revenue increases the value of stockholder’s equity account. Hence, service revenue account is being credited to increase its balance by $10,000.
- e. Journalize the cash received from customer as a deposit for the service yet to provide.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 5 | Cash (A+) | 2,500 | |
Deferred revenue (L+) | 2,500 | ||
(To record the receipt of cash from customers for the service yet to provide) |
Table (5)
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, an increase in cash increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit cash account by $2,500.
- Deferred revenue is a liability account. Thus, an increase in deferred revenue increases the value of liability account. Hence, deferred revenue account is being credited to increase its balance by $2,500.
- f. Journalize the purchase of supplies on account.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 6 | Supplies (A+) | 600 | |
Accounts payable (L+) | 600 | ||
(To record the purchase of supplies on account) |
Table (6)
- A supply is an asset account. Thus, an increase in supplies increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit supplies account by $600.
- Accounts payable is a liability account. Thus, an increase in accounts payable increases the value of liability account. Hence, accounts payable account is being credited to increase its balance by $600.
- g. Journalize the rent expense for the current month.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 7 | Rent expenses (E+, SE-) | 6,000 | |
Cash (A–) | 6,000 | ||
(To record the rent expenses incurred ) |
Table (7)
- Rent expense is an expense account which comes under retained earnings in stockholder’s equity. Thus, an increase in rent expense account decreases the value of stockholder’s equity account. Hence, rent expenses account is being debited to increase its balance by $6,000.
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, a decrease in cash account decreases the value of asset account. Hence, cash account is being credited to decrease its balance by $6,000.
- h. Journalize the rent paid in advance.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 8 | Prepaid Rent (A+) | 6,000 | |
Cash (A–) | 6,000 | ||

Table (8)
- Prepaid rent is an asset account. Thus, an increase in prepaid rent increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit prepaid rent account by $6,000.

- i. Journalize the amount received from customer.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 9 | Cash (A+) | 1,000 | |
Accounts receivable (A–) | 1,000 | ||

Table (9)
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, an increase in cash increases the value of asset account. Hence, debit cash account by $1,000.
- Accounts receivable is an asset account. Thus, a decrease in accounts receivable decreases the value of asset account. Hence, credit accounts receivable account by $1,000.
- j. Journalize the payment made for advertisement expenses.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 10 | Advertisement Expense (E+, SE–) | 1,000 | |
Cash (A-) | 1,000 | ||
(To record the payment made for the advertisement charges) |
Table (10)
- Advertisement expense is an expense account which comes under retained earnings in stockholder’s equity. Thus, an increase in advertisement expense account decreases value of the stockholder’s equity account. Hence, advertisement expense account is being debited to increase its balance by $1,000.
- Cash is an asset account. Thus, a decrease in cash account decreases the value of asset account. Hence, cash account is being credited to decrease its balance by $1,000.
- k. Journalize the payment made for the wages.
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
June, 30 | Salaries and Wages Expense (E+, SE–) | 4,000 | |
