Explanation / Answer

(a) If the amount in Supplies Expense is the January 31 adjusting entry, and $500 of supplies was purchased in January, what was the balance in Supplies on January 1? Supplies Account - Bal. on Jan. 1 ?? Purchased $500 Adjusted to expense ($950) = Bal. on Jan. 31 $850 From the above, you can work out bal. on Jan. 1 to be $1,300 (b) If the amount in Insurance Expense is the January 31 adjusting entry, and the original insurance premium was for one year, what was the total premium and when was the policy purchased? If the Jan. amount is $400, then the whole policy (1 yr) must be $400 x 12 = $4,800. If at the end of Jan. 31, the bal. in prepaid insurance is $2,400, the Jan. 1 balance must be $2,800, so $4,800 - $2,800 = $2,000 must have expired in 2007. That is 5 mths' worth of insurance, so the policy must have been purchased on Aug 1, 2007. (c) If $3,500 of salaries was paid in January, what was the balance in Salaries Payable at December 31, 2007? Salaries Payable account- Bal. at Dec 31 ?? Salaries paid ($3,500) Adjusted to expense $1,800 = Bal. at Jan. 31 $800 From the above, you can work out bal. on Jan. 1 to be $2,500 (d) If $1,600 was received in January for services performed in January, what was the balance in Unearned Revenues at December 31, 2007? Unearned Revenues account- Bal. at Dec 31 ?? Received in Jan. $1,600 Adjusted to revenue ($2,000) = Bal. at Jan. 31 $750 From the above, you can work out bal. on Dec. 31 to be $1,150
