Part 1: Completing the 10-column worksheet
Step 1: Prepare the 10-column worksheet 1. Heading: Label the worksheet with the company name, the statement name (Income Statement and Balance Sheet), and the date. 2.

Step 2: Calculating Adjusted Balances 1. Supplies: The adjustment for supplies should increase the balance to $1,350. Calculate the adjustment as follows: - Adjustment = $1,350 - Current balance of Supplies account 2. Insurance: Calculate the monthly insurance expense using the information provided: - Monthly Insurance Expense = Total Insurance Cost / Total Months - Monthly Insurance Expense = $3,080 / 11 months
Step 3: Calculating Straight-Line Depreciation 1. Truck Depreciation: Calculate the monthly depreciation expense for the truck using the straight-line method: - Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life - Monthly Depreciation = Annual Depreciation / 12 months
