Aquarium World Ltd. (AWL) was incorporated in 2017 and imports fish tanks and related supplies for the saltwater aquarium market. AWL primarily imports from Asian suppliers and is a wholesaler supplying independent retailers in Western Canada.

During the month of January 2020, AWL had the following transactions:

Regular entries:

Jan. 1 In order to better service its growing business and manage its inventory more effectively, AWL purchased new computer equipment to run its inventory system for $145,000, paying cash. AWL’s management determined that the new computer equipment would have a useful life of five years and have a residual value of $10,000.

1 AWL also entered into an agreement to lease a warehouse. This would allow the company to import larger shipments from its Asian suppliers and reduce the impact of the long shipping times. In accordance with the lease terms, AWL paid $14,400, which represented the first six months’ rent in advance.

13 A major hotel contacted AWL about supplying it with an eight-metre saltwater aquarium for the lobby. AWL agreed to this and received a $50,000 payment from the hotel. AWL ordered the tank the same day and it was scheduled to arrive on February 25. AWL has guaranteed that it will be installed before the end of February.

14 AWL paid its employees $9,000 for wages earned during the first two weeks of January.

15 AWL’s board of directors declared dividends in the amount of $20,000, which will be paid on February 15.
