Explanation / Answer

A company established a petty cash fund of $100 on September 1. On September 10, the petty cash fund was replenished when there was $16 remaining and there were petty cash receipts for: office supplies, $27; transportation-in on inventory purchased, $32; and postage, $22. On September 15, the petty cash fund was increased to $125 in total. Record the above transactions in general journal form.

September 1

Debit: Petty Cash 100

Credit: Cash 100

September 10

Debit: Office supplies expense 27

Debit: Merchandise Inventory 32

Debit: Miscellaneous Expense 22

Debit: Cash over and short 3

Credit: Cash 84

September 15

Debit: Petty Cash 25

Credit: Cash 25


On May 31, a company had a balance in its accounts receivable of $103,895. Prepare the company's following transactions for June.
june 2 sold merchandise on account $14,000
june 8 sold $15,000 worth of accounts receivable to first bank. first bank charged a 3% factoring fee.
june 20 borrowed $30,000 cash from first bank, pledging $31,500 worth of accounts receivable as collateral for the loan.

June 2

Debit: Accounts Receivable 14,000

Credit: Sales Revenue 14,000

June 8

Debit: Cash 14,550

Debit: Factoring Fee Expense 450

Credit: Accounts Receivable 15,000

June 20

Debit: Cash 30,000

Credit: Notes Payable 30,000

(Note: The amount of accounts receivable pledged will not be entered into the accounting records as a journal entry; however, it will be disclosed in the financial statements that 31,500 of accounts receivable are pledged as security for a 30,000 note payable.)

On April 1, 2007, SAS Corp. purchased and placed in service a plant asset. The following information is available regarding the plant asset:

Acquisition Cost................................................ $130,000
Estimated Salvage Value.................................. $15,000
Estimated Useful Life........................................ 5 years


Make the necessary adjusting journal entries at December 31, 2007, and December 31, 2008 to record depreciation for each year under the following depreciation methods:
(a.) Straight-line.

(130,000 – 15,000)/5 = 23,000 per year

For 2007, only recognize 9 months from April to December: (9/12)*23,000 = 17,250

December 31, 2007 entry:

Debit: Depreciation Expense 17,250

Credit: Accumulated Depreciation 17,250

December 31, 2008 entry:

Debit: Depreciation Expense 23,000

Credit: Accumulated Depreciation 23,000


(b.) Double-declining-balance.

Since the asset’s life is 5 years, 100%/5 = 20% is the straight line rate, double declining balance using double the straight line rate, which is 2*20% = 40%.

Apply the rate, 40%, to the book value, 130,000:

130,000*40% = 52,000

Only recognize 9 months’ depreciation for the first year, April to December:

52,000*9/12 = 39,000

December 31, 2007 journal entry:

Debit: Depreciation Expense 39,000

Credit: Accumulated Depreciation 39,000

For 2008, the new book value is 130,000 – 39,000 = 91,000.

Apply the rate, 40%, to the current book value, 91,000:

91,000*40% = 36,400

December 31, 2008 journal entry:

Debit: Depreciation Expense 36,400

Credit: Accumulated Depreciation 36,400
