as a temp during the winter
semester. It is February 5th 2020 and you are working on the
January month-end accounting
file for a local mobile tire installation and repair business
called The Good Rubber Company
(GRC) which has just opened. The following events happened during
its first month of
operations.
1) On January 10th, GRC purchased $7,500 worth of inventory (new
tires) from suppliers, on
account.

collecting $110 from each of the 45
customers serviced that month.
3) At the beginning of the month GRC purchased a van and equipment
for $30,000. GRC paid
$3,000 cash, and financed the rest from the supplier.
a) The interest rate on the outstanding balance is 5%, due annually
(first payment of interest
and principle is PAYABLE NEXT January).
b) The estimated useful life of both the van and equipment is 10
years with no residual value
4) GRC was founded on January 1st with a cash investment from the
one owner of $30,000 in
exchange for 3,000 shares.
5) Additionally, it sold eight (8) gift cards for $110 each, that
can be redeemed for 1 service
each, at any point in the future. At the end of the month two (2)
gift cards had been
redeemed / used.
6) GRC made a payment of $2,500 to its suppliers on January 15th,
the remainder is due on
February 15th
.
7) The GRC paid $2,400 for a 1-year insurance policy to cover the
Van used in operations as
well as general liability.
8) The owner of the company is also the operator (employee) and has
elected to take a
monthly salary of $2,000. At the end of the month none of it had
been paid.
General Journal entries for 1-3 have been completed (but not
adjusting entries), please record
all the remaining necessary journal entries for the month of
January. If no entry is required for
an event, please note it.
After this is complete please record all adjusting entries, update
the general ledger (T-accounts)
and prepare an adjusted trial balance, income statement, and
statement of financial position
for January 31st (please use the template provided, it is already
formatted and some formulas
are already included) the company uses straight line depreciation.
Do not worry about current
or non-current assets and liabilities for this month.
I will prepare a statement of cash flows, so you do not need to
worry about that, however I am
concerned that our client will not understand the statement of cash
flows, as this is the first
time they have received formal financial statements. Could you
please prepare a professional
memo that explains the purpose of the cash flow statement, and the
main business activities
that are included. It would be helpful to include examples for each
business activity.
