    My problem actually with this problem is the transaction on the 2nd trasaction on the 30th: Paid Acme super MArket on acount. I don't know which trasactions are involved and which one should be credited and debited. Also, I have a problem with the last transaction on the 2nd: Purchased 10 fishing boats on account for 60000. The boats have estimated useful lives of five years, at which time they will be donated to a local day camp. Arrangements were made to pay for the boats in July.

    Please do not tag onto someone else's post. It really isn't much fun scrolling through and looking at a bunch of stuff, just to find someone else's post at the end.

    I've moved yours to its own thread.

    Don't worry about other transactions involved. All you are doing is paying off the payable. It would be like making a payment on your credit card - doing so would reduce your cash and would reduce the balance on your bill, and it wouldn't matter what was on that bill. Paying someone on account is always a debit to the Accounts Payable (to reduce the balance since it's no longer owed) and a credit to Cash (since it was paid). The fact that it's Acme isn't relevant, nor is what the charge was for to start with.


    Also, I have a problem with the last transaction on the 2nd: Purchased 10 fishing boats on account for 60000. The boats have estimated useful lives of five years, at which time they will be donated to a local day camp. Arrangements were made to pay for the boats in July.
    You have to ignore all the irrelevant jibberish. The important parts are that a fishing boat was purchased for 60,000 (you purchased an asset for that amount), and that it will be paid in July, meaning you still owe for it. The stuff about the donation is not relevant, partly because it's not interfering with the useful life, and partly cause it's 5 years in the future. And the estimated life is only relevant to the depreciation, which is not connected with this entry, and also which they outright gave you in the adjusting entry part so you don't even need that info.
