Prepare the work sheet for the year ended December 31, 20-.

Explanation

A worksheet aids the preparation of financial statements. In preparing a worksheet, the first step is to prepare the trial balance in the first two columns. The balances on the debit and credit sides are both $56,900.

 

The second step is the preparation of the adjustments. The following are adjustments to be entered on the adjustment column:

 

(a) debit of $500 to office supplies expense; credit of $500 to office supplies for the used portion

 

(b) debit of $3,000 to depreciation expense - office equipment; credit of $3,000 to accumulated depreciation - office equipment for wear and tear of equipment

 

(c) debit of $1,000 to depreciation expense - computer equipment; credit of $1,000 to accumulated depreciation - computer equipment for wear and tear of equipment

 

(d) debit of $100 to insurance expense; credit of $100 to prepaid insurance for the expired portion

 

(e) debit of $300 to wages expense; credit of $300 to wages payable for the accrued salaries

 

The totals of the adjustments are $4,900 on both the debit and credit sides. The year-end adjustments affect the accounts balances. Therefore, there is a need to prepare an adjusted trial and enter the balances on the third pair of columns. The adjusted trial balance shows balances of $61,200 for both the debit and credit sides. The amounts are extended on the appropriate column of income statement and balance sheet.

 

The net income is $13,200. The income statement column shows balances of $40,000 on the debit and credit side. The balance sheet column shows balances of $34,400 on the debit and credit sides.
