Explanation of Solution
Reversing entries: Reversing entries are made at the beginning of the accounting period when the accountant needs to cancel any entry made in the previous accounting period. It is done in order to eliminate any errors that might have occurred in the calculation of the revenue or expenses and henceforth increase the efficiency of the financial statements for an improved decision making.
Prepare the reversing entries of Company M as of January 1, 20-2 as follows:
Reversing entry for interest revenue:
Date | Account Title and Explanation | Post ref. |
Debit ($) |
Credit ($) |
January 1 | Interest revenue | 190 | ||
Interest receivable | 190 | |||

Date | Account Title and Explanation | Post ref. |
Debit ($) |
Credit ($) |
January 1 | Factory Overhead | 4,400 | ||
