Billy's word processing service, which ended its fiscal year on March 31, 2002, had the following information available for its accountant:

(a) Equipment rent of 7,200 was paid for three months on March I. the payment was debited to the equipment rent expense account.
Dr. unearned rent 7,200
Cr. Eqyipment rent expense 7,200

(b) On February 1, the company paid 2,400 for one-year insurance policy. The payment was debited to the insurance expense account.
Dr. prepaid insurance 2,400
Cr. Insurance expense 2,400

(c) The office supplies account showed a balance of 2,471 prior to adjustment. An inventory count showed supplies of 687 on hand.

Dr. supplies 687
Cr. Supplies expense 687

So I will reverse entries by turning it around.

I'm very confuse on this

Cole Motor Hotel finds three items of revenue unrecorded ath end of its fiscal year on December 31, 20x1. First, Interest of 9% is due on a 10,000 three month note that is dated December 1, 200x1. Next hotel guests are not billed until they have vacated their rooms. Four rooms were occupied by guests from December 29, 20x1 through January 2, 20x2 at a rate of 99 per room per day. None of these guests will be billed until January 2, 20x2. Third unbilled restaurant charges of guests for the last few days of December amount to 320.

Directions:
1. Record the March 31, 20x2 adjusting entries.
2. record the April 1 20x2 reversing entries.

Note: you seem to be confusing debits and credits.

If it is an asset: DEBIT = INCREASE; CREDIT = DECREASE
If it is a liability = CREDIT = INCREASE; DEBIT = DECREASE
If it is revenue = CREDIT = INCREASE; DEBIT = DECREASE
If it is an expense = DEBIT = INCREASE; CREDIT = DECREASE


Another Note: You seem to get confused on adjusting entries.

Rule of Thumb: If a question asks you for ADJUSTING ENTRIES, 99% of the time, you will have to do some form of calculation and the number in your journal entries will NOT be the same number as the paragraph description.

(a) Equipment rent of 7,200 was paid for three months on March i. the payment was debited to the equipment rent expense account.
Dr. unearned rent 7,200
Cr. eqyipment rent expense 7,200


7,200 for 3 months. 1 month used up.
1/3 x 7200 = 2,400

Dr. Equipment Expense 2,400
Cr. Prepaid Equipment 2,400



(b) On february 1, the company paid 2,400 for one-year insurance policy. The payment was debited to the insurance expense account.
Dr. prepaid insurance 2,400
Cr. insurance expense 2,400


Please see my notes from the other day. You buy a 1 yr policy beg of Feb. you only accure 2/12 (Feb and march…2 months).
So you don’t you 2400, rather 2/12*2400 = 400

Dr. Insurance Expense 400
Cr. Prepaid Insurance 400



(c) The office supplies account showed a balance of 2,471 prior to adjustment. An inventory count showed supplies of 687 on hand.

Dr. supplies 687
Cr. supplies expense 687


You need to get inventory DOWN to 687. So take it down by 1,784.

Dr. Supplies Expense 1,784
Cr. Supplies 1,784



So i will reverse entries by turning it around.


Pretty much.
