Question

TCO B) Adjusting Entries: Data relating to the balances of various accounts affected by adjusting or closing entries appear below. (The entries which caused the changes in the balances are not given.) You are asked to supply the missing journal entries which would logically account for the changes in the account balances. Interest receivable at 1/1/1X was $5,000. During 201X cash received from debtors for interest on outstanding notes receivable amounted to $8,000. The 201X income statement showed interest revenue in the amount of $10,900. You are to provide the missing adjusting entry that must have been made, assuming reversing entries are not made. For each journal entry write Dr. for debit and Cr. for credit.

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of Year End Balance of Interest Receivable:

Opening Balance = 5,000

Add: Interest Revenue for the current Year = 10,900

Total = 15,900

Less: Cash received for interest = 8,000

Ending Interest Receivable = 7,900

Journal entry:

Date Account Title Debit Credit 31 Dec 201X Interest Receivable 7,900 Interest Revenue 7,900 (Recording of interest earned but not received)
