Answer:

Equilibrium wage is $12

Equilibrium number of workers is: 800

Explanation:

Because in equilibrium, the price in this case, wage should be the same for the demand and for the supply you can equal both equations:

w=20-(1/100)L ; w=4+(1/100)L

20-(1/100)L=4+(1/100)L

Then, you should get L by algebra:

L(-1/100-1/100)=4-20

L(-2/100)=-16

L=1600/2

L=800

The equilibrium number of workers is 800

Then you replace this answer in either the supply or demand equation:

w=4+(1/100)*800

w=4+8

w=12

The equilibrium wage is: $12

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.
