The owner of D'Addario Company has been doing all of the company's bookkeeping. When the accountant arrived to do the year-end adjusting entries, she found the following errors:
1. A payment of salaries of $625 was debited to Supplies and credited to Cash, both for $625.
2. The investment of cash of $2,000 by the owner, Toni D'Addario, was debited to Short-Term Investments and credited to Cash, both for $2,000.
3. The collection of an account receivable of $780 was debited to Cash and credited to Accounts Receivable, both for $870.
4. The company had purchased $440 of supplies on account. This entry was correctly recorded. When the account was paid, Supplies was debited $440 and Cash was credited $440.
5. Equipment costing $3,500 was purchased by signing a six-month note payable. Equipment Expense was debited and Accounts Payable was credited, both for $3,500.
