a. Office Supplies $670 (DR)
Office Supplies Expense $1,630 (DR)
b. Equipment $23,500 (DR)
Accumulated Depreciation on Equipment $2,350 (CR)
Depreciation Expense - Equipment $2,350 (DR)
c. Prepaid Insurance $630 (DR)
Insurance Expense $210 (DR)
Explanation:
1. The Office Supplies Account will be debited with $2,300 and credited with $1,630 ($2,300 - $670) as Office Supplies Expense (used supplies) for the year. This will leave a debit balance of $670 in the account.
2. The equipment account will be maintained at its cost, while a contra account (accumulated depreciation) is created to accumulate the depreciation expenses over the years. The useful life of the equipment is 10 years ($23,500/$2,350) with an annual depreciation expense of $2,350.
3. The Prepaid Insurance Account will be debited with $840 and credited with $210 ($840/4) representing Insurance that expired during the year for six months. The balance of $630 is carried forward for the remaining one and half years.
