Questions:

1)Enter the adjusting entries for May 31 in the General Journal using the information

In the question:

"The Accrued receptionist salary on May 31 is $325" I try to put $ 325, but it said was wrong.

Answer 1

Journal Entries

Since the closing trial balance of April hasn't been provided, the trial balance of May shows balances as a result of may transactions alone.

Adjustment journal entries

Please note for supplies and unearned fees, the difference has been adjusted by taking only May balance in hand ,i.e,

Supplies before adjustment=735, Ending balance given in question= 715

difference entry of $20 has been passed. Otherwise april balance will be added to $20 balance.

Similarly for unearned fees, unearned fees before adjustment=4500, ending balance=3210

difference entry of $1290 has been passed. Otherwise april balance will be added to $1290 balance.

Let me know in case of any questions.
