    Journalizing Transactions
    I'm working on a homework assignment for my Accounting class and I'm not sure if I've done it correctly. I'm like to think that I'm getting the hang of it. Any help would be great

    Problem:

    Oct. 1 Stockholders invested $25,000 in exchange for common stock of the corporation.
    Oct. 2 Hires an administrative assistant at an annual salary of $42,000.
    Oct. 3 Buys office furniture for $3,600, on account.
    Oct. 6 Sells a house and lot for M.E. Mills; commissions due from Mills, $10,800 (not paid by Mills at this time).
    Oct. 10 Receives cash of $140 as commission for acting as rental agent renting an apartment.
    Oct. 27 Pays $700 on account for the office furniture purchased on October 3.
    Oct. 30 Pays the administrative assistant $3,500 in salary for October.

    My Answers: Debit Credit

    Oct. 1 Common Stock 25000
    Cash 25000

    Oct. 2 No entry


    Oct. 3 Office furniture 3600
    Accounts Receivable 3600

    Oct. 6 Salaries Expense 10800
    Accounts Payable 10800

    Oct. 10 Cash 140
    Accounts Receivable 140

    Oct. 27 Accounts Receivable 700
    Office furniture 700

    Oct. 30 Salaries Expense 3500
    Cash 3500
