For each of the following transactions determine how the accounts and amounts would be reported and on which financial statements.
1. Petty Corp. purchased guitar amplifiers to be used for concert performances. The total cost was $50,000, and the company expected to depreciate them over five years, using the straight-line method. They were purchased on July 1, 2017, and the company’s fiscal year ends December 31. What adjusting journal entry must be made at year-end? What is the impact on the 2017 financial statements?
2. Cage the Elephant, Inc., announced a 2017-2018 concert tour. All tickets went on sale on Sept. 30, 2017. The total amount of tickets sold was $30,000,000 ($30 million). The tour was for 15 performances. Five of the performances took place in December, 2017, with the rest scheduled for January 2018. (Amazingly, the exact same number of tickets was sold for each show!) The company’s fiscal year ends December 31. What adjusting journal entry must be made at year-end? What is the impact on the 2017 financial statements?
