what are the journal entries for this problem?

On 1/1/2019, NorthGear Inc. began business with $1,000 in its bank account contributed by the owner. NorthGear was a retail business that bought athletic apparel from a different manufacturer and sold the products in their local store in St. Paul, MN. In order to get the business up and running, NorthGear took out a $1 million bank loan from a local bank. The loan was a 30 year loan, at 3.6% interest, and monthly payments beginning on 1/31/2017 and payable on the last day of every month. The required monthly payment is $8,026, split between interest and principal repayment.

On the same day, NorthGear used $750,000 to purchase a building, land, and the necessary equipment to get the business up and running. The breakdown of the purchase price consisted of $500,000 for the building (nonresidential property depreciated straightline monthly over 39 years), $150,000 for the land, and $100,000 for the equipment (treated as 7 year assets depreciated straightline monthly).

With the remaining $250,000, NorthGear purchased 25,000 units of inventory so that they could begin business immediately. When NorthGear negotiated their inventory purchasing contract with their manufacturer, their manufacturer required NorthGear to purchase inventory in equal monthly installments on the first day of every month, throughout the year. The agreed upon amount was $100,000 per month. NorthGear was allowed to purchase more than this amount if the consumer demand was there, however NorthGear could not purchase any less than $100,000 or the equivalent of 10,000 units of inventory each month.

Now that NorthGear had the inventory to sell, they went on to hire two store managers and eight cashiers/floor employees. The monthly payroll expense was $25,000 per month of which half was paid on the 15th of every month and the other half was paid on the last day of every month.

Once business began, NorthGear averaged 10,000 units sold at $20 per unit in monthly sales. Of these sales, 80% were made with cash and the remaining 20% were made with credit cards. The credit card companies agreed to pay 100% of the credit card sales to NorthGear on the 1st day of the following month. Assume that these sales are incurred evenly throughout the month but sales are recorded on their books at the end of each month.

Outside of these monthly recurring events, NorthGear would make onetime yearend entries for their returns and allowances, office expenses, repairs and maintenance, advertising/marketing, and miscellaneous expenses. These expenses were as follows: 2,500 units of returns and allowances, $10,000 office expenses, $5,000 repairs and maintenance, $2,500 advertising/marketing, and $1,500 miscellaneous. For simplicity, these expenses were treated as incurred and paid at the end of the year.
