Hi. My name is Joey. I am having a hard time with an accounting assignment and was wondering if anyone could help. I am entering Adjustment entries for the period 9/1/200x - 9/30/200x. The problem I am having is that after I enter all of my Journal Adjustment entries I come up $150.00 short of what I should have. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong.The total of all Adjustment Journal entries should equal $4,054. My total comes up to $3904.00. I have included all of my entries below along with all relevant source documents.

Thanks.

A. Adjust unearned photographic service revenue for September. Assume photographic revenue is earned evenly over the entire month. (refer to document 2)

Document 2 states: I received a check today for $6,000 from Providence Country Club to photograph events held at the club over the next 12 months. ($6000.00 was received on Sept.1 and debited to cash)

Dr. Unearned Photo Service Revenue for $500
Cr. Photo Service Revenue for $500

Calculation $6000 / 12 = $500

B. Expired Insurance (refer to document 3)

Document 3 states: Premium statement $2400 policy coverage 12 months beginning Sept. 1, 2007

Dr. Insurance Expense $200
Cr. Prepaid Insurance $200

Calculation = $2,400 / 12 = $200

C. Expired rent (refer to document 4)

Document 4 states: rent 9/1/07 to 12/31/07 amount due $3600

Dr. Rent Expense $900

Calculation = $3,600 / 4 = $900

D. Photographic Supplies on hand September 30, 2007 is $315.00 ( I accumulated $1,064 through out the month)

Dr. Photographic Supplies Expense $749
Cr. Photographic Supplies $749

Calculation: $1064 - $315 = $749

E. Office supplies on hand September 30, 2007 us $125.00 ( I accumulated $230.00 worth of office supplies)

I. Salaries accrued on September 30, $350

Dr. salary expense $350
Cr salary payable $350

J. Accrue Interest on note payable (refer to Document 12, use a 360-day year)

Document 12 states: Sept 12, 2007: I have completed negotiations with Central National Bank to borrow $20,000.00 Prepare a journal entry to issue a 60-day, 10% note to the bank for that amount. I Debited cash on Sept. 12 for $20,000 and Cr. Notes payable for $20,000

Dr. Interest Expense $100.00
Cr. Interest Payable $100.00

500+200+900+749+105+400+250+500+350+100= 4054

You are right but my post is wrong. My book says entry H should be $350.00 not $500.00. I don't know where I came up with that number.

H. Depreciation on vehicle for sept, $350

Dr. Deprec Exp - Vehicle $350
Cr. Acc Dep - Vehicle $350

No calculation - This number was given


$500.00 would make it all balance though.

500+200+900+749+105+400+250+350+350+100= 3904

Hi Joey,

Here is what I came up with:

500+200+900+749+105+400+250+500+350+100= 4054
(700) + (1649) + (505) + (750) + (450)
(2349) + (1255) + (450)
(2349) + (1705)

So, I do not know how you came up with 3904. Hope this helps?

I figured I would update my previous question. It turns out the A-1 Photography fifth edition project book has an incorrect entry for the adjustments. The Vehicle depreciation is listed as $350.00 in the book but should actually be $500.00 (I have verified this with the publisher). Thanks all for your help!

Joey

I read here that A-1 Photography fifth edition project book has an incorrect entry for the adjustments: the vehicle is listed as $350 but it should be $500. Somebody knows something else about this?
