I want to check if my answers to the following questions are correct. :)
A partial adjusted trial balance of Safin Company at January 31, 2010
Dr. Supplies 600
Dr. Prepaid Insurance 2400
Cr. Salaries payable 800
Cr. Unearned Revenue1000
Dr. Supplies expense950
Dr. Insurance expense400
Dr. Salaries expense1800
Cr. Service revenue3000
Questions:
1. If the amount in Supplies Expense is the Jan 31 adjusting entry, and $650 of supplies was purchased in January, what was the balance in supplies on January 1?
2. If the amount in Insurance Expense is the Jan 31 adjusting entry, and the original insurance premium was for one year, what was the total premium and when was the policy purchased?
3. If $2500 of salaries was paid in Jan, what was the balance Salaries Payable at December 31, 2009?
4. If $1600 was received for services performed in Jan, what was the balance in Unearned Revenue at December 31, 2009?
My answers:
1. Supplies, Beg. = Supplies, End. - Supplies Purchased + Supplies Expenses
Supplies, Beg. = $ 1000
2. Total Premium = Insurance Expense x 12 (12 months = 1 year)
Total Premium = $ 4800
Half of the premium was left, therefore the policy was purchased 6 months ago
3. Salaries Payable, Beg. = Salaries Payable, End. + Salaries Paid
Salaries Payable = $ 3500
4. Unearned Revenue, Beg. = Unearned Revenue, End.
Would the $1,600 received for services performed in January affect the Unearned Revenue in the first place?
Clarifications:
Should Salaries Expense and Service Revenue be included in the computation for nos. 3 & 4, respectively? Unlike in nos. 1 & 2, nothing was stated in nos. 3 & 4 that these expenses and revenue were the Jan 31 adjusting entries. Could you please help me out with this?
