Taylor is eager to find out if she has earned any profit during the first month of her operations. You must first adjust the accounts to bring them up to date before preparing the financial statements.

1. Journalize these adjusting entries in the journal.

April 30.The depreciation on the equipment is $120.

April 30. The supplies remaining on hand at the end of the month total $160.

April 30. The balance on the photo subscription website is $245. (Hint: Of the $300 that she had in the Prepaid Photo Subscriptions account, how much has now been used up? The expense account to use here is called Photo Expense.)

April 30. The monthly amount for advertising via the website and email account must be expensed. (Hint: Refer to the original entry above for the amount per month to be expensed- remember, she originally paid $480 for one year worth of these services, now she has used up one months worth. What is the entry that adjusts the books for this?)

April 30. Taylor determined she performed $1,200 worth of work for Charleys Restaurant. She has already received some of the cash on the 8^th of the month. Now she needs to invoice the restaurant for the remainder and record the revenue earned. (Hint: Refer to the entry for clues about what she needs to do in the entry for the restaurant- they have already paid her some of this. This entry will affect THREE accounts.)
