Adjusting Entries—Annual Adjustments

Ogonquit Enterprises prepares annual financial statements and adjusts its accounts only at the

end of the year. The following information is available for the year ended December 31, 2008:

a. Ogonquit purchased office furniture last year for $25,000. The furniture has an estimated

useful life of seven years and an estimated salvage value of $4,000.

b. The Supplies account had a balance of $1,200 on January 1, 2008. During 2008, Ogonquit

added $12,900 to the account for purchases of supplies during the year. A count of the supplies

on hand at the end of December 2008 indicates a balance of $900.

c. On July 1, 2008, Ogonquit credited a liability account, Customer Deposits, for $8,800. This sum

represents an amount that a customer paid in advance and that will be earned evenly by

Ogonquit over an eight-month period.
