  For each of the above independent situations, indicate the adjusting entry that must be made on the December 31, 2019, worksheet assuming no previous adjusting entries have been made during the year

Answer 1

Solution:

Transaction a – Notes Receivable

- Note received from customer on October 1

- Adjustment entry would require to record the Interest Revenue for 3 Months (Oct to Dec)

3 Months Interest Income = $12,000 * 12% * 3/12 = $360

No.	Date	General Journal	Debit	Credit
a)	Dec.31	Interest Receivable	$360
		Interest Income		$360
		(To record interest income for 3 months)

Transaction b – Subscription

- Half of the subscription earned during the year must be recorded as Subscription Earned

Date	General Journal	Debit	Credit
Dec.31, 2019	Unearned Subscription Revenue account	$16,000
	Subscription Revenue account (32,000 / 2)		$16,000
	(To record earned subscription during the year)

Transaction c – Unearned Rent

Advance Rent Received on Nov 1, 2019 = $43,200

The Rent revenue for 2 months (Nov and Dec) must be recorded via adjusting entry

Date	General Journal	Debit	Credit
Dec.31, 2019	Unearned Rent Account	$14,400
	Rent Revenue (43,200 / 6 * 2 months)		$14,400
	(To record earned rent revenue for nov and dec)

Transaction d – Unearned Season ticket income

Since the 5 home games are played in the December month, the revenue related to the 5 games must be recorded in Dec.

Date	General Journal	Debit	Credit
Dec.31, 2019	Unearned Season Tickets Income account	$400,000
	Season Ticket Revenue (3,200,000/ 40 * 5)		$400,000
