a. Name the adjusting entry related to this transaction and pass entry to record the transaction? |
This is the adjusting entry for unearned interest. |
b. How will you define this adjusting entry in a single sentence? |
This is the adjusting entry for unearned interest. Interest earned from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021 but as company follows calendar year so interest for 3 months from 1st Jan 2021 to 31st March 2021 will be shown as unearned interest. |
c. Which accounting concept is most applicable to this adjusting entry? |
Accrual concept. |
d. How this amount is to be shown in balance sheet/ Income statement? |
Workings | OMR |
Interest received | 60,000.00 |
Months received | 12.00 |
Interest income (9 months) | 45,000.00 |
Unearned Interest (3 months) | 15,000.00 |
So OMR 45,000 is to be shown in Income statement as interest income. |
So OMR 15,000 is to be shown in Balance Sheet as unearned interest under current liability. |
e. How it will affect the financial statements if this entry is not passed? |
If this entry is no posted then income for the current year will be overstated by OMR 15,000. |
