ADJUSTING ENTRIES
Some revenues and expenses transcend one accounting period. Some transactions that
affect the accounts are not evidenced by the obvious documents associated with the original
entries.
Adjusting entries are entries needed at year-end in order to update or modify some accounts
to fairly reflect the situation as of the end of the accounting period.
The data for the adjustments for Save-Mart for the year ended December 31, 20017 include:
a. Accrued Income – income earned from a sale or service rendered to customers, but
not yet collected by the firm.
Ex: On February 3, 2017, Save-Mart referred a customer directly to the Supplier of Nike
Shoes for purchase of wholesale apparels. Save-Mart earned a referral fee income of
$3,500 from the Supplier of Nike Shoes. Adjusting entries at year-end would be:
2017 Dec. 31 Referral fee receivable 3,500
Referral Income 3,500
Assuming the above referral fee receivable would be collected on the next accounting
period,
b. Accrued expense – a current liability from services received, but not yet paid by the
firm.
Ex. Salaries not yet paid to administrative staff employees, $1,250 for the payroll period Dec.
16-31, 2017. Adjusting entries at the end of the accounting period will be:
Assuming the above salaries for employees shall be paid on the next payroll period, journal
entries on the next accounting period will be:
Ex. On October 1, 2017, ABC Pharma rents a stall space along the Save-Mart vicinity. Save-
Mart receives from ABC $2,400 annual rental fee in advance.
