Do I record deprication in the following question
 
Purchased supplies at a cost of 14,000. Assume the above items have a 2 year life with no salvage value.
 
And also how do I record this

One typically does not record depreciation on supplies.
 
The biggest reason is that it usually is not material.
 
Also supplies usually don't last for a long time.
 
 
Investing 80,000 of your own money…
Dr. Cash 80,000
Cr. Equity/Donated Capital/Shares 80,000

It actually said a printer and a scanner for the supplies
 CaptainForest
May 6, 2007, 07:12 PM
Oh, well that could be qualified as Equipment then.  Since when does a printer and scanner only last for 2 years?
 
In that case, assuming 14,000 is material to your company, I would depreciate it.

How do you write that?
 CaptainForest

When you but the Equipment for 14,000 the JE would be:
Dr. Equipment 14,000
Cr. Cash 14,000
 
After year 1 and after year 2, the JE is the same:
Dr. Depreciation Expense 7,000
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation 7,000

THANK YOU!! 
 
OK I have another question. How do you write the adjusted journal entry for 
DR:cash      80000
CR:capital       80000
 
And also
DR:cash     6000
CR:revenue    6000

ok i have another question. how do you write the adjusted journal entry for

CR:capital       80000
 
and also
DR:cash     6000
CR:revenue    6000
 
 
Those 2 JE do not require any adjusting entries.  The second one, the part dealing with Sales, that account has to be closed to Retained Earnings at the end of the year.

OK I'm sooo sorry but I have another question
 
It says purchased 1,200 worth of supplies for cash
 
So DR: supplies and CR: cash
 
Then for my adjusting entry I DR:supplies and CR: supplies expense
 
I don't think that is right, let me know what you think

You have the first JE correct.
 
The second one, you need to reverse it.  Debit Supplies Expense and Credit Supplies.

OK one more I have DR:cash  CR:AR    for my JE
 
And DR:AR  CR:revenue  for my adjusting entry is that right
 CaptainForest
May 7, 2007, 08:18 PM

It said... collected 8,000 from the client billed earlier, which  said provided services for a client. Sent him a bill for 15,000
 CaptainForest
May 7, 2007, 09:34 PM
Ok, so when you send the bill to the customer:
Dr. AR 15,000
Cr. Sales 15,000
 
When you received the cash…
Dr. Cash 8,000
Cr. AR 8,000

Don't you have to do an adjusting entry if it's a cash entry
 CaptainForest
May 7, 2007, 10:45 PM
No.
 
The "adjustment" would be you get cash, and you draw down the AR you set up with the sale.
