Required:

1. For each of the above numbered items, prepare the necessary adjusting journal entry. If no adjusting entry is required, explain why. Put the adjusting journal entries in the worksheet tab titled Part A, Question A.

2. Below are 4 adjusting journal entries (AJEs) that another firm, Wolverine, failed to make at year end. For each entry NOT MADE indicate the effect that each omitted AJE would have on the Wolverines financial statements for the year ended 12/31/2020. Use O for overstated, U for understated, and NE for no effect. Organize your answer in tabular form, using the column headings shown below and provided in the worksheet titled Part A, Question B.

Example 0: At year end, Wolverine failed to make the below AJE to record that fact that employees earned $4,000 in wages which will be paid on the next payroll date in January 2020.

Compensation Expense (+E, -NI, -R/E, -SE) 4,000

Salaries Payable (+L) 4,000

If that adjustment was not made expenses and liabilities would be understated by $4,000. If expenses are understated, then Net Income and Stockholders Equity will be overstated.
