Required: As the accountant for Ski Fever Company, you are to A. Prepare adjusting journal entries based on the following data: (10 Marks)

a. A physical stock take of supplies as at December 31 showed $280 are currently in stock. (Assume that the value of supplies is material) b. On September 30, 2004 Ski Fever received $14,400 rent from its lessee for an eighteen-month lease beginning on that date. c. The loan was taken on October 1, 2004, with interest at 8%. Interest is payable annually. d. On November 30, 2004 Ski Fever entered into a 12 month lease of a show room from Snow Hut Limited. Provisions of Ski Fevers lease contract specify that rent payments must be made one month in advance. The monthly rent payment amounts to $900 per month. As of December 31, 2004 the January rent has been paid. e. Salesmen are paid commission of 10% of sales. December sales were recorded at $28,000. Commissions on sales made for December have not yet been paid. 9

A. Adjusting journal entries : 2 marks for each JE, 1 amount, for each account a. The correct ending balance is $280.An adjustment of (1,040-280) $760 is required to account for supplies that have been used. Supplies Expense ........................................................ ...760 Supplies .............................................................. 760

b. Rent revenue for eighteen months is $14,400. It has all been recorded as Rent Revenue, rather than unearned rent revenue. The monthly rent is equal to $14,400 18 = $800. Since signing the lease only three months have passed or 15 months of rent remains unearned ($12,000). Rent Revenue ............................................................... 12,000 Unearned Rent Revenue 12,000

c. The loan was taken out on October 1, bearing interest at 8%, due Feb. 1, 2004. Loan is 4,250, interest is 8 %, need interest expense October 1 to December 31 3 months Interest Expense ............................................................................ 85 Interest Payable .................................................................... ($4,250 .08 3/12 = $85)

85

d. Provisions of a lease contract specify rent payments must be made one month in advance, with monthly payments at $900/mo. This provision has been complied with as of Dec. 31, 2003. Since the trial balance contains no account for Prepaid Rent, and the lease has been paid in advance, the $900 lease payment has apparently been debited to Rent Expense. An adjustment must be set up for the Prepaid Rent. Prepaid Rent .................................................................. 900 Rent Expense ......................................................

900

e. Salesmen are paid commissions of 10% of sales. Commissions on sales for the last week of December have not been paid. 10% of sales is 10% $330,100, which is $33,010. The balance in the Sales Commissions account is $29,000 before adjustment, indicating that $4,010 of commissions are accrued but unpaid. Sales Commissions ......................................................... 4,010 Sales Commissions Payable .. 4,010
