DEBIT CREDITBALANCEDEBIT CREDIT2) Journalize the following transactions in the general journal using the following blank form (make as many copies as needed). When making journal entries, each individual journal entryâs debits should equal its credits. (The amount for a journal entry can be incorrect or the entry can be incorrect. However, the debits still have to equal the credits even though the entry is incorrect. If the journal entry is incorrect, it can be corrected later when making adjusting/correcting journal entries. For example, if the amount is supposed to be $1,100, and for some reason the amount of $1,010 is recorded, this is acceptableâalthough incorrect, it can be corrected later.) The total of the debits must always equal the total of the credits for each journal entryâalways. This is a fundamental GAAP that cannot be violated.a. On January 1, 2013, a payment in cash for $12,000 is made for prepaying rent for the entire year 2013. b. On January 4, 2013, accounting services are performed and payment is received in cash for the amount of $1,900.c.

Use the Post Ref. column to ensure that each line item of the journal entries is posted correctly to each general ledger account. Posting from the journal to the general ledger isnothing more than rearranging the information. If the debits equal the credits for a particular journal entry andthe information is posted correctly, then the total of the debits should equal the total of the credits in the general ledger.4) Calculate the balances in the general ledger accounts.5) Create an unadjusted trial balance from the balances in the general ledger accounts.6) Journalize the following adjusting journal entries in the general journal, being sure that the debits equal the credits:a.

Make an adjusting journal entry in the amount of $100 for depreciation of the equipment.7) Post the adjusting journal entries to the respective general ledger accounts, again being sure that the postingsare to the correct debit or credit side and that the Post Ref. column is used.8) Calculate the new balances in the general ledger accounts.9) Create the income statement for J & L Accounting, Inc.using the information from the adjusted trial balance.10) Create the closing journal entries in the general journal to close the revenue, expense, and dividend accounts to the etained earnings account, paying attention to debits equaling credits.11) Post the closing journal entries to the espective general ledger accounts.12) Calculate the balances in the general ledger accounts.13) Create a post-closing trial balance from the balances in the general ledger accounts14) Create the balance sheet for J & L Accounting, Inc. using the nformation from the post-closing trial balance.15) Create the statement of retained earnings for J & L Accounting, Inc. using the ending balance from the statement of retained earnings from the prior period and the net income from the income statement for the January accounting period.
