Question

The following information concerns the adjusting entries to be recorded on November 30, 2017, for RaiLink's year just ended.

a. The Office Supplies account started the year with a $5,200 balance. During 2017, the company purchased supplies at a cost of $25,200, which was added to the Office Supplies account. The inventory of supplies on hand at November 30 had a cost of $6,700.
b. An analysis of the company’s insurance policies provided these facts:

Policy	Date of Purchase	Years of Coverage	Total Cost
1	March 1, 2016	2		$	6,720
2	March 1, 2017	3			23,760
3	July 1, 2017	1			4,260

The total premium for each policy was paid in full at the purchase date, and the Prepaid Insurance account was debited for the full cost. Appropriate adjusting entries have been made to November 30, 2016.
c. The company has 15 employees who earn a total of $5,200 in salaries for every working day. They are paid each Monday for their work in the five-day workweek ending on the preceding Friday. November 30, 2017, falls on a Sunday, and all 15 employees worked November 24 to 28 inclusive. They will be paid salaries for five full days on Monday, December 1, 2017.
d. The company purchased a building on July 1, 2017. The building cost $310,000 and is expected to have a $29,000
residual value at the end of its predicted 25-year life.
e. Because the company is not large enough to occupy the entire building, it arranged to rent some space to a tenant at $3,500 per month, starting on October 1, 2017. The rent was paid on time on October 1, and the amount received was credited to the Rent Revenue account. However, the tenant has not paid the November rent. The company has worked out an agreement with the tenant, who has promised to pay both November’s and December’s rent in full on December 15.
f. On October 1, the company also rented space to another tenant for $3,850 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.

Assume RaiLink’s, uses Straight Line Method to depreciate the asset.
