For each separate case, record the necessary adjusting entry. On July 1, Lopez Company paid $2,000 for six months of insurance coverage. No adjustments have been made to the Prepaid Insurance account, and it is now December 31. Zim Company has a Supplies account balance of $6,600 at the beginning of the year. During the year, it purchased $2,800 of supplies. As of December 31, a physical count of supplies shows $1,200 of supplies available.

Adjusting Entries

December 31

Dr. Insurance Expense $2,000

Cr. Prepaid Insurance $2,000

December 31

Dr. Supplies Expense $8,200

Cr. Supplies account $8,200

Explanation:

On December 31, six months have been accrued and all of the amounts of prepaid insurance became accrued. hence it will be recorded as an expense.

Now calculate the supplies expense using the following formula

Supplies expense = Beginning Supplies + Purchases during the year - Ending Supplies = $6,600 + $2,800 - $1,200 = $8,200
