11. PREPAID (DEFERRED) EXPENSES P 1 Here is the check for my 24-monthinsurance policy. Resources paid for prior to receiving the actual benefits.

12. 128 637 PREPAID INSURANCE P 1 (a) On 12/1/11, FastForward paid $2,400 for insurance for 2-years (24-months, December 2011 through November 2013). FastForward recorded the expenditure as Prepaid Insurance on 12/31/11. What adjustment is required?

13. 652 126 SUPPLIES P 1 (b) During 2011, FastForward purchased $9,720 of supplies. FastForward recorded the expenditures in the asset account, “Supplies.” On December 31, 2011, a count of the supplies indicated $8,670 on hand, so $1,050 of supplies were used during December. What adjustment is required?

14. OTHER PREPAID EXPENSES P 1 Other prepaid expenses, such as Prepaid Rent, are accounted for exactly as Insurance and Supplies. We should note that some prepaid expenses are both paid for and fully used up within a single period. For example, a company may pay monthly rent on the first day of each month. This payment creates a prepaid expense on the first day of the month that fully expires by the end of the month. In these special cases, we can record the cash paid with a debit to the expense account instead of an asset account.

15. Straight-Line Depreciation Expense Asset Cost - Salvage Value Useful Life = DEPRECIATION P 1 Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a plant asset over its useful life in a systematic and rational manner.

16. DEPRECIATION P 1 On December 1, 2011, FastForward purchased equipment for $26,000 cash. The equipment has an estimated useful life of four years (48 months) and FastForward expects to sell the equipment at the end of its life for $8,000 cash. (c) Let’s record depreciation expense for the month ended December 31, 2011.

21. UNEARNED (DEFERRED)REVENUES P 1 (d) On December 31, FastForward earns 5-days of consulting fees. Each day that passes results in consulting fees of $50 ($3,000 ÷ 60), so FastForward earned ($50 × 5 days) $250.
