General Journal Entries

One Product Corp. (OPC) incorporated at the beginning of last year. The balances on its postclosing
trial balance prepared on December 31, at the end of its first year of operations, were:

The following information is relevant to the first month of operations in the following year:

  

OPC sell its inventory at $150 per unit, plus sales tax of 6%. OPC’s January 1 inventory balance consists of 180 units at a total cost of $12,060. OPC’s policy is to use the FIFO method, recorded using a perpetual inventory system.

The equipment was purchased on July 1 of last year. It has a residual value of $1,000 and an expected life of five years. It is being depreciated using the straight-line method.

Employee wages are $4,000 per month. Employees are paid on the 16th for the first half of the month and on the first day of the following month for the second half of each month. Withholdings each pay period include $250 of income taxes and $150 of FICA taxes. These withholdings and the employer’s matching contribution are paid monthly on the second day of the following month. In addition, unemployment taxes of $50 are accrued each pay period, and will be paid on March 31.

Unearned Revenue is for 30 units ordered and paid for in advance by two customers in late December. One order of 25 units is to be filled in January, and the other will be filled in February.

  

January Transactions

On 1/01, OPC paid employees’ salaries and wages that were previously accrued on December 31.

A truck is purchased on 1/02 for $10,000 cash. It is estimated this vehicle will be used for 50,000 miles, after which it will have no residual value.

Payroll withholdings and employer contributions for December are remitted on 1/03.

OPC declares a $0.50 cash dividend on each share of common stock on 1/04, to be paid on 1/10.

A $950 customer account is written off as uncollectible on 1/05.

On 1/10, OPC distributes the $0.50 cash dividend declared on January 4. The company’s stock price is currently $5 per share.

On 1/27, OPC records sales of 30 units of inventory on account. Sales tax is charged but not yet collected or remitted.

A portion of the advance order from December (25 units) is delivered on 1/29. No sales tax is collected on this transaction because the customer is a United States governmental organization that is exempt from sales tax.

To obtain funds for purchasing new equipment, OPC issued bonds on 1/30 with a total face value of $90,000, stated interest rate of 5 percent, annual compounding, and six-year maturity date. OPC received $81,420 from the bond issuance, which implies a market interest rate of 7 percent.

OPC estimates that 2% of the ending accounts receivable balance will be uncollectible. Adjust the applicable accounts on 1/31, using the allowance method.

Accrue OPC’s corporate income taxes on 1/31, estimated to be $3,750.
