2. The next step is to record the adjusting entries 

Adjustment information as of January 31, not already given in the original transaction(s):

1. Based on prior experience, GBI estimates that approximately 1/2% of the net sales (gross sales minus returns minus discounts) for the month will become bad debt. GBI writes off bad debts as they occur and recognizes bad debt expense based on anticipated bad debts as an adjusting entry each month.

2. As a control measure, physical inventories are taken on a periodic basis alternating between the raw materials inventory, finished goods inventory and trading goods inventory. Physical inventory of the finished goods inventory was taken at the end of January. It was determined that the value of the trading goods merchandise on hand was $49,000.

3. Production Machinery, Equipment and Fixtures were placed in service on January 1, 2013, with no salvage value. GBI depreciates fixed assets on a straight-line basis and those assets acquired in the first half of the months are depreciated for the entire month, while fixed assets placed in service during the last half of the month are not depreciated until the second month. Depreciation is rounded to the nearest dollar and assets are depreciated on a monthly basis (i.e. number of days in the month is not of consequence).

4. GBI received a $2,251 bill from PG&E for utilities consumed during January and the January AT&T bill in the amount of $412.

5. Liability insurance for the six-month period ending on February 28 was paid last September on the first of the month. Liability insurance is assumed to be utilized uniformly over the six-month policy period.

6. GBI needs to recognize the wages expense for the month. Since all employees are paid salaries and no changes have been made, this amount is the same as the previous month salaries. (For purposes of this assignment, ignore manufacturing and assume all labor costs will be expensed.)

7. 500 product catalogs were sent out in the month of January.
