Answer 1

Solution 1:

Journal Entry - Vito's Pizza Parlor
Event	Date	Particulars	Debit	Credit
1	31-Dec-18	Interest receivables Dr	$630.00
		To Interest revenue ($10,500*12%*6/12)		$630.00
		(To record interest revenue on bond)
2	31-Dec-18	Depreciation expense Dr	$6,100.00
		To Accumulated depreciation - Equipment ($36,600/6)		$6,100.00
		(To record depreciation on equipment)
3	31-Dec-18	Deferred rent revenue Dr	$2,100.00
		To Rent revenue ($6,300/6*2)		$2,100.00
		(To record adjusting entry of rent revenue)
4	31-Dec-18	Prepaid insurance Dr	$1,575.00
		To Insurance expense ($2,520/24*15)		$1,575.00
		(To record adjusting entry of insurance)
5	31-Dec-18	Interest expense Dr	$630.00
		To Interest payable ($21,000*12%*3/12)		$630.00
		(To record interest expense)
6	31-Dec-18	Supplies Expense Dr	$1,140.00
		To Supplies ($1,850 - $710)		$1,140.00
		(To record supplies expense)

Solution 2:

Impact of adjusting entries on net income = $630 - $6,100 + $2,100 + $1,575 - $630 - $1,140 = -$3,565

Therefore net income is overstated by $3,565 if Vito's failed to record these adjusting entries.
