If $1,600 was received in January for services performed in January, what was the balance in Unearned Service Revenue at December 31, 2019?
a)Ending Balance = Beginning Balance of supplies+ Purchased -Supplies used
700 = Beginning Balance of supplies+ 850 - 950
700 = Beginning Balance of supplies -100
Beginning Balance of supplies = 700 +100
= 800
Balance in supplies account on Jan 1 = $ 800
b)Insurance Premium= insurance expense for a month * 12/n (where n= number of month for which insurance expense is expired)
= 400 *12 /1
= $ 4800
The Balance in prepaid insurance as on Jan 31 is2400 which is 50% of total premium paid (4800*50% =2400) that means 6 months has been expired as on Jan31 since purchased date : 31 Jan 2020 - 6 months
= 1 August 2019
c)Salaries and wage payable as on Jan 31 =Salaries and wage payable as on Dec 31 +Salaries expense for Jan 31 -salaries paid
800 = Salaries and wage payable as on Dec 31 + 1800 -2500
800 =Salaries and wage payable as on Dec 31 - 700
Salaries and wage payable as on Dec 31 =800+700
= 1500
Salaries and wage payable as on Dec 31 2019 = 1500
d)Out of total service revenue earned of $ 2000 in Jan ,$ 1600 is received in Jan for services performed in Jan which means remaining $ 400 (2000-1600) is a service revenue earned out of unearned service revenue .
Balance in unearned service revenue as on December 31,2019 =Balance as on Jan 31 ,2020 + service revenue earned during Jan
= 750 +400
= 1150
