The total premium for each policy was paid in full (for all months) at the purchase date, and the
Prepaid Insurance account was debited for the full cost. (Year-end adjusting entries for Prepaid
Insurance were properly recorded in all prior fiscal years.)
c. The company has four employees, who earn a total of $800 for each workday. They are paid
each Monday for their work in the five-day workweek ending on the previous Friday. Assume
that October 31, 2011, is a Monday, and all four employees worked the first day of that week.
They will be paid salaries for five full days on Monday, November 7, 2011.
d. The company purchased a building on November 1, 2010, that cost $155,000 and is expected
to have a $20,000 salvage value at the end of its predicted 25-year life. Annual depreciation is
$5,400.
e. Since the company does not occupy the entire building it owns, it rented space to a tenant at
$600 per month, starting on September 1, 2011. The rent was paid on time on September 1, and
the amount received was credited to the Rent Earned account. However, the October rent has
not been paid. The company has worked out an agreement with the tenant, who has promised
to pay both October and
November rent in full on November 15. The tenant has agreed not to fall behind again.
f. On September 1, the company rented space to another tenant for $525 per month. The tenant
paid five months’ rent in advance on that date. The payment was recorded with a credit to the
Unearned Rent account.
