Palmer Industries prepares annual financial statements and adjusts its accounts only at the end of the year. The following information is available for the year ended December 31, 2014:
1. For each of the following situations, prepare the appropriate adjusting entry to be recorded on December 31, 2014. Do not round intermediate calculations. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
a. Palmer purchased computer equipment two years ago for $15,000. The equipment has an estimated useful life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $250. Use straight line method of depreciation
b. The Office Supplies account had a balance of $3,600 on January 1, 2014. During 2014, Palmer added $17,600 to the account for purchases of office supplies during the year. A count of the supplies on hand at the end of December 2014 indicates a balance of $1,850.
c. On August 1, 2014, Palmer credited a liability account, Customer Deposits, for $24,000. This sum represents an amount that a customer paid in advance and that will be earned evenly by Palmer over a six-month period.
