Greg operates a sizeable newspaper delivery service. On the last day of each month, Greg
receives a statement from the newspaper publisher detailing how much money Greg
earned that month from delivering papers. On the 10th day of the following month, Greg
receives the cash for the preceding month’s deliveries.
On December 31, Greg received a statement from the newspaper publisher notifying him
that he had earned $13,700 for his December deliveries. Because December 31 is the end
of Greg’s fiscal year, he makes adjusting entries at that time. Prepare the ADJUSTING
journal entry necessary on December 31 to record the revenue that Greg has earned but
not yet received.

- Assume you are a newly-hired accountant for a local manufacturing firm. You have enjoyed working for the company and are looking forward to your first experience participating in the preparation of the companys financial statements for the year-ending December 31, the end of the companys fiscal year. As you are preparing your assigned journal entries, your supervisor approaches you and asks to speak with you. Your supervisor is concerned because, based on her preliminary estimates, the company will fall just shy of its financial targets for the year. If the estimates are true, this means that all 176 employees of the company will not receive year-end bonuses, which represent a significant portion of their pay. One of the entries that you will prepare involves the upcoming bond interest payment that will be paid on January 15 of the next year. Your supervisor has calculated that, if the journal entry is dated on January 1 of the following year rather than on December 31 of the current year, the company will likely meet its financial goals thereby allowing all employees to receive year-end bonuses. Your supervisor asks you if you will consider dating the journal entry on January 1 instead of December 31 of the current year. Assess the implications of the various stake holders and explain what your answer will be.arrow_forwardUnder accrual accounting, what circumstances would likely prompt a year-end adjustment?
