The trial balance of Veggies-R-Us., at December 31, 20XX, and the data needed for the year-end adjustments follow. (Round all results to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

1. The dollar value of supplies on hand at year end = $5,250; this was determined after taking a physical inventory.

3. Depreciation on furniture for the year, $210.

7. Unearned revenue, customer deposits still unearned at December 31 was $3,125.
8. Veggies-R-Us. uses the allowance method to determine their bad debt expense. The allowance for bad debts is based upon the balance in accounts receivable. Based upon past experience Veggies-R-Us. uses the rate of 0.75% (.0075) of accounts receivable to determine the appropriate balance in the Allowance for Doubtful accounts. Round the balance in this allowance account (your calculated year end balance) to the nearest whole dollar.
9. Bonds payable info: The principal amount (a.k.a. face value, par value, stated value) of these bonds = $150,000. These bonds have a 10 year term. The stated rate (a.k.a. contract rate, nominal rate, contract rate) of interest on these bonds = 5%. Theses bonds are dated July 1, 20XX (current year) and were sold on July 1, 20XX (current year) for the sum of $156,000.

Interest on these bonds is to be paid semi-annually on January 1 and July 1 of each year. An entry needs to be made for December 31’s accrued interest due and for the appropriate amount relating to the amortization of the premium (use straight-line amortization for this premium). A check will be written and issued for the appropriate amount of interest due on January 1.

10. The investments that A. Duck Ponds currently has in their investment account (current asset) represents investments that were purchased recently. Based upon stock market quotes obtained for December 31, the market value of these investments = $112,000.
