Other data not yet recorded at December 31 include:

Insurance expired during current year, $2.
Wages payable, $4.
Depreciation expense for the current year, $6.
Income tax expense, $7.

Required:

Using the adjusted balances, give the closing entry for the current year.

a. Insurance expired in the current year, this will necessitate us recognizing an expense of $2 not previously recognized and also a liability of $2 that is already due for payment

b. Wages Payable indicates we are indebted to staff by $4, thus creating a liability; and and a $4 expense that should impact on our operations for current year

c. Depreciation of $6 hasn't been recognized. We need to adjust the value of our Asset downwards with the depreciated value and also recognize that $6 as impacting on business results in current year as an expense

d. Income tax of $7 becomes a liability because it hasn't yet been paid. And we need to position it as a deduction off any profit we may make in the current year.

you're crazy if you think that someone is going to write a 500 word report for you.

a recipe serves 8 people, and calls for 5 lbs of apples and 2 cups of flour. you want to prepare it for 24 people. divide 24 by 8 to get 3, and then multiply your ingredients by 3.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
