    Accounting--General Journal
    Here is the question

    In June 2009, Wendy Winger organized a corporation to provide aerial photography services. The company, called Aerial Views, began operations immediately. Transactions during the month of June were as follows:
    June 1 The corporation issued 60,000 shares of capital stock to Wendy Winger in exchange for $ 60,000 cash.

    June 2 Purchased a plane from Utility Aircraft for $ 220,000. Made a $ 40,000 cash down payment and issued a note payable for the remaining balance.

    June 4 Paid Woodrow Airport $ 2,500 to rent office and hangar space for the month.


    June 15 Billed customers $ 8,320 for aerial photographs taken during the first half of June.

    June 15 Paid $ 5,880 in salaries earned by employees during the first half of June.

    June 18 Paid Hannigan’s Hangar $ 1,890 for maintenance and repair services on the company plane. June 25 Collected $ 4,910 of the amounts billed to customers on June 15.

    June 30 Billed customers $ 16,450 for aerial photographs taken during the second half of the month.

    June 30 Paid $ 6,000 in salaries earned by employees during the second half of the month.

    June 30 Received a $ 2,510 bill from Peatree Petroleum for aircraft fuel purchased in June. The entire amount is due July 10.

    June 30 Declared a $ 2,000 dividend payable on July 15.

    Notes Payable
    Maintenance Expense
    Accounts Payable
    Fuel Expense
    Dividends
    Payable
    Salaries Expense

    Here is what I got:
    Date Account title Debit Credit
    6/1 Cash 60,000
    Capital Stock 60,000

    6/2 Aircraft 220,000
    Cash 40,000
    Notes Payable 180,000

    6/4 Cash 2,500

    6/15 Cash 8320
    Accounts Rec. 8320

    6/15 Cash 5,880
    Salaries Exp. 5,880

    6/18 Cash 4,910
    Accounts Rec. 4910

    6/25 Cash 16,540
    Accounts Rec. 16,540

    6/30 Cash 6,000
    Salaries Expense 6,000

    6/30 Cash 2,510
    Accounts Payable 2510

    6/30 Cash 2,000
    Dividends 2,000

    What am I doing wrong?

    6/4 your debits and credits are reversed Cash should be a credit and your expense should be a debit

    6/15 your first entry is incorrect. It should be: Debit Accounts Receivable for the amount and Credit Revenue for the amount.

    6/15 your second entry you should reverse your aaccounts. Cash should be a credit and your expense should be a debit.

    6/18 your accounts are reversed. Cash should be credit and your expense account should be a debit.

    6/30 entry 1, your debit should be Accounts Receivable for the amount and credit Revenue for the amount.

    6/30 entry 2, Debit Salaries expense for the amount and credit Cash for the amount.

    6/30 entry 3, Debit Fuel Expense for the amount and Credit Accounts Payable for the amount.

    6/30 entry 4, Debit Retained Earnings for the amount and Credit Dividends Payable for the amount.
