Bill’s Boards (BB) is an outdoor advertising company founded by William Longfall. William knows very little accounting so he hired a friend to “keep the books.” Unfortunately, William did not review his friend’s work and now it seems his friend has made a mess of the accounting records. William has provided you the following list of unadjusted account balances at BB’s September 30 fiscal year-end. You have reviewed the balances with William and made notes shown in the right column.
Required:
- 1. Use the notes to determine and record the adjusting
journal entries needed on September 30 to (a) fix the premature recording of advertising revenue, (b) update the rent accounts, (c) account for the use of equipment, (d) update deferred revenue, (e) accrue revenue not yet billed, (f ) accrue unpaid wages, (g) correct the supplies accounts, and (h) accrue income taxes for the year. - 2. Post the adjusting journal entries from requirement 1 to T-accounts to determine new adjusted balances, and prepare an adjusted trial balance. (If you are completing this exercise using the general ledger tool in Connect, this requirement will be completed automatically for you.)
- 3. Using the adjusted account balances from requirement 2, prepare an income statement, statement of
retained earnings , and classifiedbalance sheet .

c.
Prepare an income statement, statement of retained earnings, and classified balance sheet of company B.
Explanation of Solution
Income statement: The financial statement which reports revenues and expenses from business operations and the result of those operations as net income or net loss for a particular time period is referred to as income statement.
Classified balance sheet: The main elements of balance sheet assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity are categorized or classified further into sections, and sub-sections in a classified balance sheet. Assets are further classified as current assets, long-term investments, property, plant, and equipment (PPE), and intangible assets. Liabilities are classified into two sections current and long-term. Stockholders’ equity comprises of common stock and retained earnings. Thus, the classified balance sheet includes all the elements under different sections.
Prepare an income statement, statement of retained earnings, and classified balance sheet as follows:
