Answer 1

Following will be the amounts and direction of effects of the adjusting entry on the elements of the balance sheet and income statement.

	Balance sheet			Income statement
Transaction	Assets	Liabilities	Stockholders' equity	Revenue	Expenses	Net income
1a		4,000	- 4,000		4,000	- 4,000
1b	1,500		1,500	1,500		1,500
2a	- 600		- 600		600	- 600
2b	- 68,000		- 68,000		68,000	- 68,000

2a) Insurance expense for 3 months = 4,800 x 3/24

= $600

2b) Supplies expense = Beginning supplies + Supplies purchased - Ending supplies

= 13,000 + 75,000 - 20,000

= $68,000
