Question:
JRM Co. is in the process of closing its books for the year ended December 31, 2014.
The following business events are not properly reflected in JRM’s December 31, 2014, adjusted trial balance:
The controller determined that half of the recorded rent expense is attributed to 2015.
JRM depreciates its property, plant and equipment using the straight-line method over 10 years. The property, plant and equipment had an original cost of $20,000 and a salvage value of $5,000.
JRM uses the percentage-of-sales method to determine the addition to bad debt expense. Uncollectible accounts receivable for 2014 was estimated to be 0.25%.
On December 31, 2014, a customer declared bankruptcy and its account receivable of $855 is uncollectible.
Life insurance premium for the period ended December 31, 2014, of $650 for key members of management are included in prepaid expense.
Interest of $300 was earned and outstanding on notes receivable during 2014. The note receivable is due at the end of 2017.
Income taxes for 2014 are estimated to be $3,000.
Based on the business events above, calculate the adjustments necessary to JRM’s unadjusted trial balance by entering the appropriate debit and credit amounts in columns D and E, respectively. Enter debit adjustments as positive values and credit adjustments as negative values. If there is no adjustment needed, enter zero as the adjustment.
