REQUIRED:

1. During 2015, the following transactions occurred. Prepare any necessary journal entries. For your own purposes, you should set up T-accounts for the temporary accounts (revenues, expenses, and owner withdrawals) as needed. I also suggest keeping track of entries you think will require an adjusting entry at the end of the year.

DO NOT PREPARE MONTHLY ADJUSTING AND CLOSING ENTRIES; wait until year-end to prepare these entries. Travis Auto Parts does not use reversing entries.

2. Based on (1) the previous transactions and (2) the following information, prepare and post any necessary adjusting entries at year-end.

*A physical count revealed supplies on hand of $3,750.

*Depreciation on the store equipment is 10% per year. Salvage value on the equipment is zero. Record depreciation for all of the store equipment which Travis Auto Parts has on December 31, 2015--not just the equipment which was purchased during the year.

*Of the $7,500 worth of goods paid for in advance on September 30, only $6,200 worth of goods had been shipped to customers by year-end.

*Based on previous experience, Travis felt that 5% of ending accounts receivable would ultimately be uncollectible.

(Please note: More than four adjusting entries need to be prepared.)
