Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. Each case is independent and requires a separate correcting journal entry.
2. The reversing entry approach is not allowed.
3. Correcting entries should accurately reflect the intended transactions.

STEP 2

1. Analyze the incorrect entry and determine the correct entry for each case.
2. Calculate the necessary adjustments.
3. Journalize the correcting entry.

STEP 3

Analyze the incorrect entry and determine the correct entry for each case.
(a) The company purchased supplies for 3,000cash,butincorrectlydebitedcashandcreditedequipmentfor3,000 cash, but incorrectly debited cash and credited equipment for 300. The correct entry should debit supplies and credit cash for $3,000.
(b) The company borrowed 120,000,butincorrectlydebitedcashfor120,000, but incorrectly debited cash for 12,300, credited notes payable for 12,000,andcreditedinterestpayablefor12,000, and credited interest payable for 300. The correct entry should debit cash for 120,000andcreditnotespayablefor120,000 and credit notes payable for 120,000.
(c) The company paid 80% of the monthly salaries of 20,000,butincorrectlydebitedsalariesexpensefor20,000, but incorrectly debited salaries expense for 12,000 and credited salaries payable for 12,000.Thecorrectentryshoulddebitsalariesexpensefor12,000. The correct entry should debit salaries expense for 16,000 and credit cash for $16,000.
(d) The company recorded depreciation incorrectly by debiting depreciation expense and crediting equipment. The correct entry should debit depreciation expense and credit accumulated depreciation.

STEP 4

Calculate the necessary adjustments.
(a) Adjust by debiting supplies for 3,000andcreditingcashfor3,000 and crediting cash for 3,000, reversing the incorrect debit to cash and credit to equipment.
(b) Adjust by debiting cash for 107,700,creditingnotespayablefor107,700, crediting notes payable for 108,000, and debiting interest payable for $300, correcting the amounts to reflect the actual borrowing.
(c) Adjust by debiting salaries expense for 4,000andcreditingcashfor4,000 and crediting cash for 4,000, correcting the amount to reflect 80% of $20,000.
(d) Adjust by debiting accumulated depreciation for 12,000andcreditingequipmentfor12,000 and crediting equipment for 12,000, correcting the account affected by depreciation.

STEP 5

Journalize the correcting entry for each case.
(a) Debit Supplies$3,000 \text{Debit Supplies} \quad \$3,000 Credit Cash$3,000 \text{Credit Cash} \quad \$3,000
(b) Debit Cash$107,700 \text{Debit Cash} \quad \$107,700 Credit Notes Payable$108,000 \text{Credit Notes Payable} \quad \$108,000 Debit Interest Payable$300 \text{Debit Interest Payable} \quad \$300
(c) Debit Salaries Expense$4,000 \text{Debit Salaries Expense} \quad \$4,000 Credit Cash$4,000 \text{Credit Cash} \quad \$4,000
(d) Debit Accumulated Depreciation$12,000 \text{Debit Accumulated Depreciation} \quad \$12,000 Credit Equipment$12,000 \text{Credit Equipment} \quad \$12,000
