Roadside Travel Court was organized on July 1, 2016, by Betty Johnson. Betty is a good manager but a poor accountant. From the trial balance prepared by a part-time bookkeeper, Betty prepared the following income statement for her fourth quarter, which ended June 30, 2017.

Betty suspected that something was wrong with the statement because
net income had never exceeded $30,000 in any one quarter. Knowing
that you are an experienced accountant, she asks you to review the
income statement and other data.
You first look at the trial balance. In addition to the account
balances reported above in the income statement, the trial balance
contains the following additional selected balances at June 30,
2017.
|
Supplies |
$ 9,185 | |
|---|---|---|
|
Prepaid Insurance |
14,400 | |
|
Notes Payable |
14,000 |
You then make inquiries and discover the following.
| 1. | Roadside rentals revenues include advanced rental payments received for summer occupancy, in the amount of $57,180. | |
| 2. | There were $1,995 of supplies on hand at June 30. | |
| 3. | Prepaid insurance resulted from the payment of a one-year policy on April 1, 2017. | |
| 4. | The mail in July 2017 brought the following bills: advertising for the week of June 24, $115; repairs made June 18, $4,570; and utilities for the month of June, $245. | |
| 5. | Wages expense is $325 per day. At June 30, four days’ wages have been incurred but not paid. | |
| 6. | The note payable is a 6% note dated May 1, 2017, and due on July 31, 2017. | |
| 7. | Income tax of $14,035 for the quarter is due in July but has not yet been recorded. |
