Required:

  1. 1. Record the effects of transactions (a) through (k) using journal entries.
  2. 2. If you are completing this requirement manually, set up appropriate T-accounts. All accounts begin with zero balances. Summarize the journal entries from requirement 1 in the T-accounts, referencing each transaction in the accounts with the transaction number. Show the unadjusted ending balances in the T-accounts. If you are using the GL tool in Connect, your answers to requirement 1 will have been posted automatically to general ledger accounts that are similar in appearance to Exhibit 2.9.
  3. 3. Prepare an unadjusted trial balance for the end of June. If you are using the GL tool in Connect, this requirement is completed automatically using your previous answers.
  4. 4. Refer to the revenues and expenses shown on the unadjusted trial balance to calculate preliminary net income and determine whether the net profit margin is better or worse than the 30.0 percent earned by a close competitor.

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;

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders Equity

  1. a. Journalize the issuance of common stock.
DateAccount Title and ExplanationDebit ($)Credit ($)
June, 1Cash (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.
  1. b. Journalize 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 $20,000.
  1. c. Journalize the cash receipt.
DateAccount Title and ExplanationDebit ($)Credit ($)
June, 3Cash (A+)5,000

    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 $5,000.
  1. d. Journalize the rent earned.
DateAccount Title and ExplanationDebit ($)Credit ($)
June, 4Cash (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.

Calculate the preliminary net income and net profit margin and determine whether the net profit is better or worse than the competitor.

Explanation of Solution

Net income: Net income is the excess amount of revenue which arises after deducting all the expenses of a company. In simple terms, it is the difference between total revenue and total expenses of the company.

Profit Margin Ratio:

Profit margin provides an indication of the earnings per dollar of sales, and it is determining the net profit as a percentage of the revenues. Use the following formula to calculate the profit margin ratio.

Profit margin ratio=NetincomeRevenue×100

Compute the preliminary net income of the company as follows:

ParticularsAmount ($)Amount ($)
Revenues:  
Service Revenue $15,000  
Total Revenues15,000
Less: Expenses: 
Rent Expense6,000 
Advertisement Expense1,000 
Salaries and Wages Expense4,000 
Total Expenses11,000
Net Income $4,000

Table (13)

Compute the net profit margin of the Company as follows:

  Profit margin ratio=NetincomeRevenues×100=$4,000$15,000×100=26.7%

Conclusion

Company F is performing worse than its competitor, because Company F has a net profit margin of 26.7% while its competitor company has a net profit margin of 30%.
