Q3. We are following Paul around for the first year as he starts his guitar store called Paul's Guitar Shop,
Inc. Here are the events that take place.
Journal Entry 1 -- Paul forms the corporation by purchasing 10,000 shares of $1 par stock.
Journal Entry 2 -- Paul finds a nice retail storefront in the local mall and signs a lease for $500 a month.
Journal Entry 3 -- PGS takes out a bank loan to renovate the new store location for $100,000 and agrees
to pay $1,000 a month. He spends all of the money on improving and updating the store's fixtures and
looks.
Journal Entry 4 -- PGS purchases $50,000 worth of inventory to sell to customers on account with its
vendors. He agrees to pay $1,000 a month.
Journal Entry 5 -- PGS's first rent payment is due.
Journal Entry 6 -- PGS has a grand opening and makes it first sale. It sells a guitar for $500 that cost
$100.
Journal Entry 7 -- PGS sells another guitar to a customer on account for $300. The cost of this guitar was
$100
Journal Entry 8 -- PGS pays electric bill for $200.
Journal Entry 9 -- PGS purchases supplies to use around the store.
Journal Entry 10 -- Paul is getting so busy that he decides to hire an employee for $500 a week. Pay
makes his first payroll payment.
Journal Entry 11 -- PGS's first vendor inventory payment is due of $1,000.
Journal Entry 12 -- Paul starts giving guitar lessons and receives $2,000 in lesson income.
Journal Entry 13 -- PGS's first bank loan payment is due.
Journal Entry 14 -- PGS has more cash sales of $25,000 with cost of goods of $10,000.
Journal Entry 15 -- In lieu of paying himself, Paul decides to declare a $1,000 dividend for the year.
Let's post the journal entries that Paul's Guitar Shop, Inc. made during the first year in business to the
ledger accounts.
Following our year-end example of Paul's Guitar Shop, Inc., we can see that his unadjusted trial balance
needs to be adjusted for the following events.
-- Paul pays his $1,000 January rent in December.
-- Paul's December electric bill was $200 and is due January 15th.
-- Paul's leasehold improvement depreciation is $2,000 for the year.
-- On December 31, a customer prepays Paul for guitar lessons for the next 6 months.
-- Paul's employee works half a pay period, so Paul accrues $500 of wages.
