On January 1, the company purchased equipment that cost $10,000. The equipment is expected to be worth about (or has a salvage value of) $1,000 at the end of its useful life in five years. The company uses straight-line depreciation. It has not recorded any adjustments relating to this equipment during the current year.Complete the necessary December 31 journal entry by selecting the account names from the pull-down menus and entering dollar amounts in the debit and credit columns. .
DR Depreciation expense 1,800 CR Accumulated depreciation Explanation Knowledge Check 01This adjustment relates to a prepaid (deferred) expense. It requires a debit to an expense account, Depreciation Expense, as the equipment's net cost is allocated to depreciation during its useful life. The Accumulated Depreciation account, a contra asset account, needs to be credited so that the ending balance equals the allocation through this date. The amount of this adjustment, which covers the entire year, equals $1,800 (or the net cost of the equipment of $9,000 [(or the cost of $10,000 − the salvage value of $1,000) ÷ useful life of 5 years]. Since no adjustments have been made, there is no need to determine a monthly amount
or each of the following separate situations, determine how much revenue is recognized in December (using accrual basis accounting). On December 7, Oklahoma City Thunder sold a $118 ticket to a basketball game to be played in March. Tesla sold and delivered a $86,000 car on December 25. The customer will not pay until February. Deloitte signs a contract on December 1 to provide 40 days of advisory services with receipt of $38,000 due at the end of the contract. On December 31, 75% of the services have been completed

The correct order is: Step 1: Determine what the current account balance equals.Step 2: Determine what the current account balance should equal.Step 3: Record an adjusting entry to get from step 1 to step 2.
The value of information is often linked to its timeliness. To provide timely information, accounting systems prepare periodic reports at regular intervals. The time period assumption presumes that an organization's activities can be divided into specific time periods for periodic reporting. Accrual accounting recognizes revenue when earned and expenses when incurred—not necessarily when cash inflows and outflows occur. The revenue recognition principle requires that revenue be recorded:

On April 1, the company hired an attorney for April for a flat fee of $2,500. Payment for April legal services was made by the company on May 12. As of April 30, $2,187 of interest expense has accrued on a note payable. The full interest payment of $6,560 on the note is due on May 20. Total weekly salaries expense for all employees is $11,000. This amount is paid at the end of the day on Friday of each five-day workweek. April 30 falls on a Tuesday, which means that the employees had worked two days since the last payday. The next payday is May 3. The above three separate situations require adjusting journal entries to prepare financial statements as of April 30. For each situation, present both the April 30 adjusting entry and the subsequent entry during May to record payment of the accrued expenses. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
