Please record the adjustments in the appropriate columns. I have attached photos of the excel sheet for reference. You may have to click on the photos to see the whole document. Or simply type out which category from the excel document that the journal entries will go into with the appropriate calculations that should be entered. For example, (accounts receivable, & cash). You do not have to place it in the excel document itself.

1Okay, let's get depreciation out of the way first. Let's pretend Merck uses both straight-line and

double declining balance (DDB) depreciation methods. Let's assume it uses DDB for Buildings and

and straight-line for Machinery, equipment and office furnishings. Land and Construction in progress

are not depreciated. Assume $9,600 of accumulated depreciation is associated with Buildings and the

remainder ($8,086) is associated with Machinery, equipment and office furnishings. Further assume that

Buildings have a depreciable life of 23 years. Assume Machinery, equipment and office furnishings has a

6-year life and $900 salvage value. Please record depreciation.

2Some office furnishings were sold for $1,550 cash. The office furnishings had a cost of $2,600 and had been

depreciated $1,900. Record the sale.

3Purchased laboratory equipment for $230. Additional costs included freight of $2, labor to install the

equipment $3, labor to calibrate the equipment $1. Cash of $150 was paid and the rest was financed with a

long-term loan.

4Made extensive expenditures to improve laboratory machinery $6. These expenditures doubled the

productivity of the machinery. Cash was paid.

5Made significant expenditures to repair old buildings, $11, paid in cash. These repairs did not "improve"

the buildings or increase their life.

6Buildings were lost in a fire. The cost of the buildings was $160 and they had been depreciated $110.

Insurance paid for $38, received in cash.

7Merck developed several new pharmaceutical medicines, and successfully patented the medicines for

several years, cost of the patents was $9, paid in cash.

8Merck developed a new logo for its brand and had the logo trademarked, paying $4 cash.

9Merck purchased another pharmaceutical company, for cash. The net assets (assets minus liabilities)

acquired were, at their fair market values, accounts receivable $24, inventories $180, other current assets $15,

buildings $860, trade accounts payable $19, long-term debt $200. Merck paid $1,600 cash for this

company.

10Intangible asset amortization was $990. Please record this amortization.

11Let's talk about something new, Deferred Income Taxes, shown as a liability on Merck's balance sheet.

Deferred income taxes are created when there are timing differences between when a revenue or expense is

recognized by a company on its financial statements and when the item is taxable as income or an expense

for tax purposes. Overall the income or expense will be the same for both tax and financial statement

purposes; the difference is the year in which it is shown as a revenue or expense for financial

purposes will differ from when it is expensed or a revenue for tax purposes. When Deferred income taxes

is an asset, it means that there are future tax benefits due to these timing differences. When Deferred

income taxes is a liability, it means that there will be additional taxes to be paid in the future due to these

timing differences. Okay, enough about that. Assume that the 2019 tax return (form 1120) was filed,

and that it was determined that due to timing differences, the Deferred income tax liability should

increase $30. Please record this, and record the income statement effect in Taxes on Income.

12Pharmaceutical sales of $3,800 were made, for cash. Cost of the items sold was $800.

13Wages were paid, $570, cash.

14Cash dividends paid were $3,400. $1,587 was liquidating the Dividends payable on the balance sheet (this is

a dividend that was declared sometime earlier but not paid at that time) and the rest was this year's

declared dividend and is a reduction of retained earnings.

15Paid Loans payable and current portion of long-term debt of $1,000, plus interest on these loans of

$200, total cash paid was $1,200.
