Journal -- Record the journal entries for the current year in the spaces below: |
This section describes 20 journal entries that need to be recorded. The 20 journal entries are already described in parentheses. For example, the first transaction is "(Issued $300,000 of additional capital stock in exchange for cash.)" Each journal entry must be recorded using GAAP (in columns B-F) and a second time using SAP (in columns J-N). Record the appropriate journal entry in the space immediately above its description. The first three transactions are shown as examples. The first transaction involves issuing additional stock in exchange for cash and the answer is to debit Cash and credit Contributed Capital. Since this transaction is recorded in the exact same manner for GAAP and SAP purposes, the same accounts and amounts are recorded in the GAAP columns (i.e., columns B-F) and in the SAP columns (i.e., columns J-N). The second transaction is the collection of premiums that were owed to the insurer at the start of the currrent year. Some of these outstanding premiums were overdue more than 90 days (so, they were nonadmitted assets per SAP). Since GAAP included all overdue receivables in Premiums Receivable but SAP included only amounts overdue by 90 days of less, the GAAP and SAP journal entry for this transaction differs. Thus, SAP requires a gain be reported. The third transaction records that unearned premiums as of the start of the current year have been earned during the current year. Thus, the company's liability for unearned premiums decreases and its earned premiums increases. Journalize the remaining transactions.
