Utilities expense 1,500
Depreciation expense 700
Maintenance and repairs expense 2,900
Total operating expenses 35,500
Net income $47,000
Trudy knew that something was wrong with the statement because net income had never exceeded $20,000 in any one quarter. Knowing that you are an experienced accountant, she asks you to review the income statement and other data.
You first look at the trial balance. In addition to the account balances reported in the income statement, the ledger contains these selected balances at March 31, 2017.
Supplies $4,600
Prepaid Insurance 7,500
Notes Payable 21,000
You then make inquiries and discover the following.
a. Rent revenue includes advanced rentals for summer-month occupancy, $21,500.
b. There were $530 of supplies on hand at March 31.
c. Prepaid insurance resulted from the payment of a 1-year policy on January 1, 2017.
d. The mail on April 1, 2017, brought the following bills: advertising for week of March 24, $150; repairs made March 10, $1,050; and utilities $200.
e. Wage expense totals $270 per day. At March 31, 3 days’ wages have been incurred but not paid.
f. The note payable is a 3-month, 8% note dated January 1, 2017.
Question
1) Make a correct income statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
2) Explain to Trudy the generally accepted accounting principles that she did not follow in preparing her income statement and their effect on her results.
