Structured-answer frame

Calculate the expense for the year and the prepayment or accrual for the given items, and write the adjusting entries.

How to lay out the answer. Follow the frame, then write it in your own words.

  1. 1 · Find the amount for the period. Monthly amount × months in the period.
  2. 2 · Compare with the amount paid or received. Excess paid = prepaid; shortfall = accrued. Excess received = unearned.
  3. 3 · Write the adjusting entry. Dr and Cr with amounts.
  4. 4 · Show the income statement figure. The expense or income for the period.
  5. 5 · Show the SFP figure. A current asset or a current liability.

Scoring tip: Write the months used as a fraction (e.g. 6/12); it makes the working easy to mark.
