This amount includes $53,000 from 2017 plus amount receivable on sale of 4,500 units sold on January 15. January 21 Wrote off remaining accounts receivable from 2017. January 24 Paid on accounts payable. The amount includes the amount owed at the beginning of the period plus the amount owed from purchase of 4,800 units on January 5. January 28 Paid cash for salaries during January, $45,000. January 29 Paid cash for utilities during January, $27,000. January 30 Paid dividends, $6,000.

Accrued interest income on notes receivable for January. Accrued interest expense on notes payable for January. Accrued income taxes at the end of January for $6,700. Depreciation on the building, $3,700.

Record each of the transactions listed above in the 'General Journal' tab (these are shown as items 1 - 13) assuming a FIFO perpetual inventory system. The transaction on January 30 requires two entries: one to record sales revenue and one to record cost of goods sold. Review the 'General Ledger' and the 'Trial Balance' tabs to see the effect of the transactions on the account balances. Record adjusting entries on January 31. in the 'General Journal' tab (these are shown as items 14-18). Record the closing entries in the 'General Journal' tab (these are shown as items 19 and 20). (The company prepares closing entries by closing the appropriate accounts directly to Retained Earnings.
