I'm trying to do a Trial Balance worksheet and this is what I have to do, I believe these go in the adjustments section.

a. Unexpired insurance balance at December 31, 2008: $2,500
b. Supplies on hand at December 31, 2008: $500
c. Depreciation on building for the year: $1,300
d. Depreciation on equipment for the year: $4,500


A. In my unadjusted trial balance I have
Prepaid Insurance Debit:7,200

Do I credit 2,500 in the adjustments Leaving Debit:4,700 in the adjusted trial balance?

B. My supplies is
Supplies Debit:1,980
So I should Credit 500? Leaving Debit:1480 in adjusted?

Am I on the right track?

ALL entries must have equal debits and credits. So there has to be another side of these entries. When assets are consumed, they turn into expenses.

Also re-read what it is saying. Let's start with the supplies since it's easier. If you have $500 on hand, then how do you have 1480 left? You have $500 left. The amount you take out of the account is the amount that is gone. $500 isn't gone - it's left.

The insurance is the same concept, except problems can never decide whether to give you the expired or the unexpired portion. Just keep in mind that the unexpired portion is the portion that is still prepaid. Prepaid insurance is something paid up front and you still have coverage coming. So "unexpired" is still coming to you, and still an asset. The expired portion is the part that is already consumed and must turn into an expense.

I have an unadjusted trial balance. All original entries involving cash have been made, but some entries were recorded incorrectly. I have to prepare in journal entry form all adjusting and correcting journal entries. This is one of my questions. I'm not sure what to do with last years balance and the proper adjusting or reversing journal entry.

I have to do Per a physical count of office supplies, $3,141 of supplies remained at the end of 2010. The balance on the worksheet in the office supplies account represents last years ending balance of $2,500. During the year, $7,500 of office supplies was purchased and immediately expensed.
