    journal entry
    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.

    It actually said a printer and a scanner for the supplies

    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?
  • May 7, 2007, 12:33 AM
    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

    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.

    It said... collected 8,000 from the client billed earlier, which said provided services for a client. Sent him a bill for 15,000
  • May 7, 2007, 09:34 PM
    CaptainForest
    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
  • May 7, 2007, 09:37 PM
    jsu4549m
    OK I got that but how do you do an adjusting entry for the DR:cash 8000 CR:AR 8000

    What do you mean?

    80000.00 is owners equity.
  • May 7, 2007, 10:04 PM
    jsu4549m
    Don't you have to do an adjusting entry if it's a cash entry
  • May 7, 2007, 10:45 PM
    CaptainForest
    No.

    The "adjustment" would be you get cash, and you draw down the AR you set up with the sale.
  • May 8, 2007, 08:05 AM
    jsu4549m
