Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

8. Adjusting for Rent    

Rent Expense  575  

Prepaid Rent            575

9. Adjusting for suppliers    

Supplies Expense 4,100  

Supplies                           4,100

10. Adjusting for Unearned Revenue    

Unearned Revenue; 3425  

Service Revenue           3425

11. Adjusting for salaries payable    

Salaries Expense     5590  

Salaries Payable           5590

12. Closing Revenue accounts    

Service Revenue   29225  

Income Summary            29225

13. Closing expense accounts  

Income Summary    18665  

Salaries expense       17390

Supplies Expense       700

Rent Expense        575

Explanation:

8. Rent per month is $575. Since the month ended, the advance payment was expired. Therefore, prepaid rent for the first month becomes credit, and rent expense is debit. Prepaid rent is an advance payment paid to the owner for using the store temporarily. Generally, rent has to be paid at the beginning of the month. Therefore, whenever the month ends, the advance payment becomes an expense for a company.

9. Supplies Expense calculations for the month of January:

Beginning supplies      = $3,400

Add: Purchase              <u>= $3,800</u>

Total supplies at hand  = $7,200

Less: Ending supplies   <u>= $3,100</u>

Total Supplies expense= $4,100

10. Unearned and service revenue calculation:

Unearned Revenue for the month of January            = $4,000

Service provided by the company during the month = $3,425

Unearned Revenue at the end of the month               = $   575

Since the company provided services for which they took advance payment, the unearned revenue (a liability account), reduced. Therefore, unearned revenue is reversed to debit.

11. Salaries expense is an expense, therefore, it is a debit. Salaries payable is a liability, therefore, it is a credit entry. Salaries payable arises due to unpaid salaries for the employees. As there are no calculations regarding salaries expense, the amount of $5,590 is the debit for expenses (Salaries), and credit for liabilities (Salaries payable).

12. To close the revenue account, the account must be reversed. Closing entry is generally given for revenue and expense accounts. Therefore, all the revenues must be debit to income summary's credit to close the accounts. Total service revenues:

3. Provided service to the customer = $25,800

10. (ADD): Service provided to the customer who paid in advance = $ 3,425

Total: $(25,800 + 3,425) = 29,225.

13. Since the expense accounts deduct from income, therefore, income summary needs to be debit, and expense accounts need to be a credit to close the account. Therefore, all the expense accounts (Rent, salary, and supplies expenses) must be a credit to close them. Adding all the items, we can get the income summary balance.

AA Appliances sells refrigerators. In 2015 it added $100,000 to its inventory. $10,000 of this addition was from used refrigerat
lara [203]

Answer:

$90,000

Explanation:

Given that

Added amount to inventory = $100,000

Used amount for refrigerator = $10,000

Purchase of newly manufactured refrigerator = $90,000

So by considering the above information, the amount that is included would be $90,000 as this amount reflect the newly refrigerator amount and the other $10,000 would already be used so this amount is not relevant.

photoshop1234 [79]

A. a clear message and positive ethos

Explanation:

Clarity in communication refers to being effectiveness in conveying the intended message. Clarity in speech is a must for any speech as it aids in better comprehension of the message by the listener.

Ethos refers to the creation of authority and command in speech. It also refers to whether the speaker is able enough to speak on a subject or is he the right person to speak on such a matter.

Through ethos, the speaker establishes his command over the subject he has chosen to speak upon.

Positive ethos would mean displaying a positive body language while speaking and maintaining calm and open to questioning and providing the required response. It refers to building an amiable rapport with listeners.
