The Prepaid Insurance account balance represents the remaining cost of a four-year insurance policy dated 2011 June 30, having a total premium of USD 12,000.
The physical inventory of the office supply stockroom indicates that the supplies on hand cost USD 3,000.
The building was originally acquired on 1994 January 1, at which time management estimated that the building would last 40 years and have a residual value of USD 15,000.
Salaries earned since the last payday but unpaid at December 31 amount to USD 5,000.
Interest earned but not collected on a savings account during the year amounts to USD 400.
The Unearned Rent account arose through the prepayment of rent by a tenant in the building for 12 months beginning 2010 October 1.
Prepare the annual year-end adjusting entries indicated by the additional data.
Problem D The reported net income amounts for Gulf Coast Magazine, Inc., for calendar years 2010 and 2011 were USD 200,000 and USD 222,000, respectively. No annual adjusting entries were made at either year-end for any of the following transactions:
A fire insurance policy to cover a three-year period from the date of payment was purchased on 2010 March 1 for USD 3,600. The Prepaid Insurance account was debited at the date of purchase.
Subscriptions for magazines in the amount of USD 72,000 to cover an 18-month period from 2010 May 1, were received on 2010 April 15. The Unearned Subscription Fees account was credited when the payments were received.
A building costing USD 180,000 and having an estimated useful life of 50 years and a residual value of USD 30,000 was purchased and put into service on 2010 January 1.
On 2011 January 12, salaries of USD 9,600 were paid to employees. The account debited was Salaries Expense. One-third of the amount paid was earned by employees in December of 2010.
Calculate the correct net income for 2010 and 2011. In your answer, start with the reported net income. Then show the effects of each correction (adjustment), using a plus or a minus to indicate whether reported income should be increased or decreased as a result of the correction. When the corrections are added to or deducted from the reported net income amounts, the result should be the correct net income amounts. The answer format should appear as follows:

Problem E Jupiter Publishing Company began operations on 2010 December 1. The company’s bookkeeper intended to use the cash basis of accounting. Consequently, the bookkeeper recorded all cash receipts and disbursements for items relating to operations in revenue and expense accounts. No adjusting entries were made prior to preparing the financial statements for December.
Dec. 1 Issued capital stock for USD 300,000 cash.
3 Received USD 144,000 for magazine subscriptions to run for two years from this date. The magazine is published monthly on the 23rd.

12 Paid the annual rent on the building, USD 36,000, effective through 2011 November 30.
15 Received USD 216,000 cash for two-year subscriptions starting with the December issue.
15 Salaries for the period December 1–15 amounted to USD 48,000. Beginning as of this date, salaries will be paid on the 5th and 20th of each month for the preceding two-week period.
20 Salaries for the period December 1–15 were paid.
23 Supplies purchased for cash, USD 21,600. (Only USD 1,800 of these were subsequently used in 2010.)
27 Printing costs applicable equally to the next six issues beginning with the December issue were paid in cash, USD 144,000.
31 Cash sales of the December issue, USD 84,000.
31 Unpaid salaries for the period December 16–31 amounted to USD 22,000.

a. Prepare journal entries for the transactions as the bookkeeper prepared them.
b. Prepare journal entries as they would have been prepared under the accrual basis. Where the entry is the same as under the cash basis, merely indicate “same”. Where possible, record the original transaction so that no adjusting entry would be necessary at the end of the month. Ignore explanations.
