A charter fishing company has sold fishing trips in advance for $125 apiece, and they have sold 210 tickets. And all of these tickets were used in January, except 30 will be used in February. They also rent a boat from another company for $72,000. And that was for 24 months. 2 years. And they've only used the boat for 1 month.

Now the first requirement down below is to prepare journal entries to record the collection of the money from the tourists, and, too, the revenue generated during January. So let's look at that. They received $125 for each of the 210 tickets. So down here, I'm multiplying $125 times 210, which equals 26,250. And I debit it cash. Now you notice that I didn't credit revenue, because we received this money in advance, and we have not earned it.

So it goes into a liability account that we call unearned revenue. And I've labeled it unearned fish trips. However, in January, we did have fishing trips that we earned, 210 minus the 30 that will be in February. So 180 trips we did earn. So the second journal entry, I'm moving out of unearned fish trips the 180 times $125, which equals the 22,500. And I'm debiting unearned fish trips, moving that finally to revenue earned fish trips.

Next requirement, is they want us to calculate Hawaii Blue's total obligation to tourists at the end of January. What they're asking is how much have we not earned and that we owe to the customers that will take their trip in February but perhaps might not and ask for a refund.

So I did the 30 trips times $125, and that equals the 3,750. Now they're asking on the next question on what financial statement, which section, would this amount appear. Again this is 3,750 is unearned revenue. It's a liability. So we go into balance sheet, and on the current liabilities section of the balance sheet.

Next requirement, they want us to prepare journal entries to record the payments to the specific yacht company-- the company that they're renting the boat from-- and the adjustment January 1. So remember, we paid $72,000 in advance, so we call that prepaid boat rental. And we credit it cash.

Now at the end of January, we have used 1/24 of that $72,000, because it covered 24 months. So I will move out of that prepaid boat rental 3,000 by debiting boat rental expense and crediting prepaid boat rental. They ask you, then, on what financial statement would Hawaii Blue's January boat rental cost appear. Well, that boat rental expense will appear on your income statement as an expense.

That completes the problem. Thank you very much.

This is Ashford University, Accounting 205, and we will be reviewing chapter 3, exercise 8. This problem deals with closing entries at the end of the accounting cycle. We need to close out the revenue accounts and expense accounts and we zero those out and move those amounts to the retained earnings account or capital account, whatever you'd like to call it. This problem calls it capital. And once it moved in there, that determines net income journal entries.

One closes out the revenue. Two closes the expenses to the capital account, and three, we close out the withdrawal account.

Let's take a look at what they've given us from the book. We have a number of accounts-- cash, accounts payable, prepaid insurance, land, accounts payable. Now we only close revenue and expense accounts. So we only have to do with the one revenue account here, $38,000, and the four expense accounts we'll close out. And then the third journal entry will be the $2,500 to close out the drawing. Let's see how we do that.

So if you look down below to close out the revenue account, revenue account has a normal balance of credit, so I debit that account in order to make it zero, and I move that amount as a credit to the capital account.

Second journal entry to close out the four expense accounts, which are a debit balance. We credit those four accounts, so it makes those zero. We add up the amount, $21,000, and we debit capital account, which reduces the capital account. The third journal entry is we close out the drawing account, which is up here, $2,500. It's a debit account, so we're going to credit the drawing account, make it zero, and move that to the capital account of
$2,500.

Now what this ultimately does is increases the capital account by the revenue of $38,000, decreases it by the $21,000 of expenses. So you really had $17,000 net income. But we also reduced the capital account by $2,500 for the drawings. So that's closing entries.Ch 3 Ex 4
