So as of Dec 31, the 5 employees worked 2 days (earned $1,000) but they have not been paid, therefore,
you havent recorded that expense yet. So we must do an adjusting entry to record the expense and the
liability (since we have not paid them yet-so were LIABLE to pay them later).

The way I would work the problem: First, fill in all the info the problem gives you for Company A
(in green). Next, fill in the blanks (in blue) Assets of 33,000 liabilities of 27,060 = 5,940 of equity
(beginning balance). Assets increased from 33,000 to 36,000, so there must have been an increase
of 3,000 during 2009. The beginning balance of equity was 5,940 and we know that during 2009
there was an increase of 10,260 (+7,760+6,000-3,500). So the ending balance of equity is 16,200.
Assets of 36,000 equity of 16,200 = 19,800 of liabilities (ending balance). Beg. Bal. of liabilities
was 27,060 and the end. Bal. was 19,800, so the activity during 2009 must have been a decrease of
7,260. [This particular problem doesnt ask you for the liabilities during 2009, but this is how I
would find any missing info.

The company received 1,500 on Nov 1 for 3 months of rent that they would provide. The company
recognized the revenue on that date. As of Dec 31, they had recognized 2 months of the revenue, so they
have to do an adjusting entry to move 1 month to unrecognized rent revenue. They cannot report revenue
that is not yet earned on the financial statements.
