6)

Dr Income tax expense 2,600

    Cr Income tax payable 2,600

Explanation:

March 31, 2018

Prepaid insurance $14,740  - 3,618

Supplies 2,900  - 1,960

Equipment 22,100

Accumulated depreciation-equipment 5,680  + 1,226

Unearned revenue 9,730  - 6,487

interest payable 600

Income tax payable 2,600

Loan payable, due 2020 20,000

Salaries expense 14,500

depreciation expense 1,226

1. The equipment, which was purchased on January 1, 2017, is estimated to have a useful life of four years. The company uses straight-line depreciation.

depreciation per year = $22,100 / 4 = $5,525

depreciation expense up to March 31, 2018:

$5,525 x 1.25 = $6,906.25 ≈ $6,906

adjustment entry = $6,906 - $5,680 = $1,226

Dr Depreciation expense 1,226

    Cr Accumulated depreciation 1,226

2. One third of the unearned revenue related to rent is still unearned at the end of the quarter.

adjusting entry = 9,730  - (9,730  x 1/3) = $6,486.67 ≈ $6,487

Dr Unearned revenue 6,487

    Cr Rent revenue 6,487

3. The loan payable has an interest rate of 6%. Interest is paid on the first day of each following month and was last paid March 1, 2018.

interest per month = $20,000 x 6% x 1/12 = $600

Dr Interest expense 600

    Cr Accrued interest 600

4. Supplies on hand total $940 at March 31.

adjusting entry = $2,900 - $940 = $1,960

Dr Supplies expense 1,960

    Cr Supplies 1,960

5. The one-year insurance policy was purchased for $14,740 on January 1.

insurance expense per quarter = $14,470 x 3/12 = $3,617.50 ≈ $3,618

Dr Insurance expense 3,618

    Cr Prepaid insurance 3,618

6. Income tax is estimated to be $2,600 for the quarter.

Prepare the quarterly adjusting entries required at March 31.

Dr Income tax expense 2,600

    Cr Income tax payable 2,600

Della's Pool Halls has 12,000 shares of stock outstanding with a par value of $1 per share and a market price of $39 a share. Th
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

16,000 shares will be outstanding.

Explanation:

Given;

Number of outstanding stocks = 12,000

par value per share = $ 1

Market price per share = $ 39

stock split = 4 for 3 i.e  the stockholders will receive 4 shares if they are having 3 shares.

or by using the concept of unitary method

3 existing shares = 4 shares will be issued.

or

1 existing share = ( 4/3 ) shares will be issued.

thus,

for 12,000 existing shares = (4 / 3 ) × 12,000 shares will be issued.

or

12,000 existing shares = 16,000 shares will be issued.

hence,

16,000 shares will be outstanding.
