 Adjusting entries
 
 t Jan. 31: Of the previously purchased make-up and apparel, $25 worth has been used.
 Balance due on the automobile was financed through a one-year, 6% note through First National Bank.
 Auto is intended to be used for three years, strictly for business.
 Assume a salvage value at the end of that time of $109.35.
 Use Straight-line depreciation
 The expectation is that the clown costumes will last for three years but have no remaining value at the end of that time.  Use straight-line depreciation.
 Personal desk, chairs, sofa and table transferred to business should last about three years with no salvage value at the end of that time. (Used for only one-half month in January).
 On the used copier from Salvage Stan, anticipate a useful life of 3 years, no salvage –
 (also used only one-half month in January).
