I am having a difficult time making adjusting entries click in my head.
Question from an assignment.
A. On October 31, 2015, ABC received a $15,000 advance payment from a customer for services to be performed evenly over the next 15 months. The original entry was credited to a real account.
B. On September 1, 2015, ABC paid $12,720 for a four-year insurance policy. ABC debited a nominal account at that time.
For your account titles, choose from:
Service Revenue
Unearned Revenue
Insurance Expense
Prepaid Insurance
What would be the adjusting entries for both?
Also,
If ABC did not do either of the adjusting entries associated with Transactions A and B (from the above information) on December 31, 2015, determine the cumulative effect of all errors on assets, liabilities and equity at December 31, 2015.
Answer Format: Use O for overstated, U for understated, and NE for No Effect. Do not space between the O/U/NE and the dollar amount of the error. (Example: If Assets are Over by $2,000, record your answer as O2000)
