To prepare:

To prepare adjusting journal entry.

Answer to Problem 5BPSB

Date	Accounts titles and Explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
Jan.31	Store supplies expense	6,000
	Store supplies		6,000
	(To record the store supplies available at year end)
Jan.31	Insurance Expense	2,800
	Prepaid insurance		2,800
	(To record expired insurance)
Jan.31	Depreciation expense - store equipment	3,000
	Accumulated depreciation - store equipment		3,000
	(To record the depreciation expense on store-Equipment)
Jan.31	Cost of goods sold	2,700
	Merchandise inventory		2,700
	(To record the cost of goods sold of inventory)

Explanation of Solution

Journal entries are explained as follows-

1. In this entry, store supplies are available at the end. So to adjust this, store supplies are recorded as an expense and debited in the entry. Store supplies are current assets as they are decreasing so it gets credited.

  $\begin{array}{l}Storesupplies=Totalbalance-Availablebalanceattheend\hfill \\ Storesupplies=\$9,700-\$3,700\hfill \\ Storesupplies=\$6,000\hfill \end{array}$

1. In this entry, Expired insurance is recorded. Insurance is an expense for the company so it is debited and prepaid insurance are current assets as they are decreasing so it gets credited.
2. In this entry, Depreciation expense is recorded. So it is debited. Assets gets reduced with such amount so accumulated depreciation is credited.
3. In this entry cost of goods sold are recorded. So inventory will get reduced with such amount, so it is credited.

  $\begin{array}{l}Amountrecorded=Merchandiseinventory–Availablebalance\hfill \\ Amountrecorded=24,000-21,300\hfill \\ Amountrecorded=2,700\hfill \end{array}$

Conclusion:

Thus, the adjusting journal entries are prepared.

Explanation of Solution

Net Income is calculated as follows-
  $Netincome=Grossprofit-Totaloperatingexpenses$

Gross profit is calculated as follows

  $\begin{array}{l}Grossprofit=Netsales–Costofgoodssold\hfill \\ Grossprofit=\$221,100-\$78,500\hfill \\ Grossprofit=\$142,600\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Netsales=Salesrevenue-Salesdiscounts-Salesreturnsandallowance\\ \begin{array}{l}Netsales=\$227,100-\$1,000-\$5,000\hfill \\ Netsales=\$221,100\hfill \end{array}\end{array}$

Total Operating expenses is calculated as follows

  $\begin{array}{l}TotalOperatingexpenses=Sellingexpenses+Generalandadministrativeexpenses\hfill \\ \begin{array}{l}TotalOperatingexpenses=(Salesstaffsalaries+Advertisingexpense+Rentexpense-sellingspace\\ +Storesuppliesexpense+DepreciationExpense-storeequipment)\\ +(Officesalariesexpense+Rentexpense-Officespace+Insuranceexpense)\end{array}\hfill \\ TotalOperatingexpenses=\left(31,500+17,800+13,000+6,000+3,000\right)+\left(31,500+13,000+2,800\right)\hfill \\ TotalOperatingexpenses=71,300+47,300\hfill \\ TotalOperatingexpenses=118,600\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Netincome=Grossprofit-TotalOperatingexpenses\hfill \\ Netincome=142,600-118,600\hfill \\ Netincome=\$24,000\hfill \end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

Net Income is calculated as follows

  $Netincome=Netsales-Totalexpenses$

Net sales is calculated as follows-

  $\begin{array}{l}Netsales=Salesrevenue-Salesdiscounts-Salesreturnsandallowance\\ \begin{array}{l}Netsales=\$227,100-\$1,000-\$5,000\hfill \\ Netsales=\$221,100\hfill \end{array}\end{array}$

Total expenses is calculated as follows

  $\begin{array}{l}\hfill \\ \begin{array}{l}Totalexpenses=Costofgoodssold+Salesstaffsalaries+Advertisingexpense+\\ Rentexpense-sellingspace+Storesuppliesexpense+DepreciationExpense-storeequipment\\ +Officesalariesexpense+Rentexpense-Officespace+Insuranceexpense)\end{array}\hfill \\ Totalexpenses=78,500+31,500+17,800+13,000+6,000+3,000+31,500+13,000+2,800\hfill \\ Totalexpenses=197,100\hfill \\ \hfill \end{array}$

Concept Introduction:

Current ratio
Current ratio is a ratio which helps to measure the ability of company to pay the obligations of the company. It is calcuated by using following formula

  $Currentratio=Currentassets/Currentliabilities$

Acid-test ratio
It is a ratio which measures the ability of company to use its short term cash to repay the liabilities immediately. It is calcuated by using following formula

  $Acid-testratio=Quickassets/Currentliabilities$

Gross margin ratio

Gross margin ratio assesses the profitability of the company by stating gross margin as a percenatge of sales. It is calculated by usimg following formula-

  $Grossmarginratio=\frac{Grossmargin}{Netsales}*100$

To Calculate-

To compute current ratio, Acid test ratio, Gross margin ratio.

Answer to Problem 5BPSB

  $\begin{array}{l}Currentratio=Currentassets/Currentliabilities\hfill \\ Currentratio=36,200/18,000\hfill \\ Currentratio=2.01\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Acidtestratio=QuickAssets/CurrentLiabilities\hfill \\ Acidtestratio=7,400/18,000\hfill \\ Acidtestratio=0.41\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Grossmarginratio=\frac{Grossmargin}{Netsales}*100\hfill \\ Grossmarginratio=\frac{142,600}{221,100}*100\hfill \\ Grossmarginratio=64.50\%\hfill \\ \hfill \end{array}$

Explanation of Solution

1. Current ratio-

  $Currentratio=Currentassets/Currentliabilities$

  $\begin{array}{l}Currentassets=Cash+Merchandiseinventory+Storesupplies+Prepaidinsurance\hfill \\ Currentassets=7,400+21,300+3,700+3,800\hfill \\ Currentassets=36,200\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Currentliabilities=Accountspayable\hfill \\ Currentliabilities=18,000\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Currentratio=Currentassets/Currentliabilities\hfill \\ Currentratio=36,200/18,000\hfill \\ Currentratio=2.01\hfill \end{array}$

2. Acid-test ratio-

  $Acid-testratio=Quickassets/Currentliabilities$

  $\begin{array}{l}Quickassets=Cash\hfill \\ Quickassets=7,400\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Currentliabilities=Accountspayable\hfill \\ Currentliabilities=18,000\hfill \end{array}$

  $\begin{array}{l}Acidtestratio=QuickAssets/CurrentLiabilities\hfill \\ Acidtestratio=7,400/18,000\hfill \\ Acidtestratio=0.41\hfill \end{array}$

3. Gross-margin ratio-

  $Grossmarginratio=\frac{Grossmargin}{Netsales}*100$

Gross margin = 142,600 (Calculated in part 2)

Net sales = 221,100 (Calculated in part 2)

  $\begin{array}{l}Grossmarginratio=\frac{Grossmargin}{Netsales}*100\hfill \\ Grossmarginratio=\frac{142,600}{221,100}*100\hfill \\ Grossmarginratio=64.50\%\hfill \\ \hfill \end{array}$

Conclusion:

Thus, ratios are calculated.
