You are now asked to journalise and post the adjusting entries after completing the worksheet. This is because, in the
manual accounting system, the worksheet is not part of the journals and ledgers. Therefore completing the Adjustments
column in the worksheet does not automatically update the appropriate ledger accounts. Since this practice set is a
manual accounting practice set, you are still required to manually journalise the adjusting entries and post them to the
general ledger as a separate step.
The purpose of adjusting entries is to ensure that the general ledger account balances reflect the income earned and
expenses incurred during the accounting period.
Remember that the details of the end of month adjustments for June are as follows:
Cash Registers owned by the business: original purchase price was $10,000, estimated useful life was 6 years,
and estimated residual value was $1,000 at the end of the useful life. Depreciation is calculated on a monthly
basis using the straight line method. The monthly depreciation charge is calculated as the yearly depreciation
expense divided by the number of months in a year.
Store Fixtures owned by the business: original purchase price was $35,000, estimated useful life was 8 years, and
estimated residual value was $6,000 at the end of the useful life. Depreciation is calculated on a monthly basis
using the straight line method. The monthly depreciation charge is calculated as the yearly depreciation expense
divided by the number of months in a year.
The water usage for the month of June is estimated to be $1,150.
The estimated electricity payable as at the end of June is $309.
Sales staff work every single day during the week including weekends and are paid on a weekly basis. Wages were
last paid up to and including 24 June. Wages incurred after that day (from 25 June to 30 June inclusive) are
estimated to have been $330 per day.
Interest expense incurred during the month of June but not yet paid to BitiBank for the bank loan is $250.
Office supplies totalling $450 are still on hand at 30 June.
One month of prepaid rent expired during June. Remember that at the beginning of June, the business paid two
month's worth of rent in advance.
3 months of advertising remained pre-paid at the start of June.
5 months of insurance remained pre-paid at the start of June.

When calculating the portion of prepayments that expire during the month of June, you are asked to assume that an
equal amount of expense is incurred per month.
Additionally, a stocktake revealed that the balance of inventory on hand as at 30 June is equal to the closing balance of
the Inventory account. This means there is no adjusting entry required for inventory shrinkage.
1) Use the worksheet to assist you in recording the adjusting entries in the general journal.
2) Post the adjusting entries from the general journal to the general ledger accounts.
3) Record the final adjusted balance of each ledger account in the Adjusted Balance row of each ledger, even for
ledgers with a balance of zero. Although each ledger already has a running balance, the Adjusted Balance row must
still be filled out in order to receive full points.
