Question

Trial Balance and Adjusting Entries

Image, Inc., a commercial photography studio, has just completed its first full year of operations on December 31. The general ledger account balances before year-end adjustments follow. No adjusting entries have been made to the accounts at any time during the year. Assume that all balances are normal.

Cash	$2,150		Accounts Payable	$2,710
Accounts Receivable	3,600		Unearned Photography Fees	2,600
Prepaid Rent	12,600		Common Stock	24,000
Prepaid Insurance	2,970		Photography Fees Earned	34,480
Supplies	5,250		Wages Expense	11,000
Equipment	22,800		Utilities Expense	3,420

An analysis of the firm's records discloses the following items:

1. Photography services of $1,250 have been rendered, but customers have not yet been billed. The firm uses the account Fees Receivable to reflect amounts due but not yet billed.
2. The equipment, purchased January 1, has an estimated life of 10 years.
3. Utilities expense for December is estimated to be $750 but the bill will not arrive until January of next year.
4. The balance in Prepaid Rent represents the amount paid on January 1, for a 2 year lease on the studio.
5. In November, customers paid $2,600 in advance for pictures to be taken for the holiday season. When received, these fees were credited to Unearned Photography Fees. By December 31, all fees are earned.
6. A 3 year insurance premium paid on January 1, was debited to Prepaid Insurance.
7. Supplies on hand at December 31 are $1,750.
8. At December 31, wages expense of $650 has been incurred but not paid.

Required
a. Prove that the sum of the debits equals the sum of the credits for Image’s unadjusted account balances by preparing an unadjusted trail balance as of December 31.
