Are these transactions need to be recorded and how would you journalize them? using the debit credit journal. Thank You
Mar. 3 - Ordered the first three Star Trek movies to be shown the last 10 days of March. It will cost $400 per night.
Mar. 11 - Hired J. Bybee to operate the concession stand. Bybee agrees to pay The Three-Peat Threater 15% of gross receipts, payable monthly.
How would you journalize this?
Mar 31 - Received statement from J. Bybee showing gross receips from concessions of $9,000 and the balance due to The Three-Peat of $1,350 for March. Bybee paid half the balance due and will remit the remainder on April 5.
(keep a calendar with your financial committments listed on them, so that you won't forget any monthly bills, payments you have committed to, but no need to post on the books yet).
Mar 31 Adjustments for accrued expenses dr accounts payable $4000 cr movie rental expense 4000 ____for movie rental
dr cash $675 dr accounts receivable $675 cr theater operating revenue $1350 ___for theater overhead The gross receipts, if they are not accountable to your business, do not have to be booked (but your contract with J. Bybee should include an agreement of who pays the income taxes etc and therefore has to book the gross receipts and their other expenses).
