ADJUSTING ENTRIES Always remember that an asset that is already used will be considered as expense.

For example used supplies, 15000 To record it you must debit expense particularly supplies expense and credit supplies(used portion) Dr. Supplies Expense 15,000 Cr. Supplies (Assets) 15,000

The unused portion is your remaining assets. For an instance you have P30,000 supplies and 15,000 is already used therefore the remaining 15,000 will be the unused portion. Same goes to Prepaid Rent, Prepaid Insurance Depreciation of Property and Equipment a. Use this formula: Record her remaining obligation to her staffs which is payable at the end of the month, P 15,000 AC-SV/UT/12 AC=Acquisition Cost, this is also known as the purchase cost; SV= Salvage Value, it is the estimated amount of the property or equipment after the lapse of useful time UT= it is the estimated time of the equipment or property when it comes to its durability panahon na inaasahan na tatagal o magagamit pa yung kagamitan o ari arian; 12= to see the depreciation expense of every month; Actually there is no money that is being used in depreciation it is just so happen that value of the equipment or property is depreciating bumababa yung presyo habang tumatagal; There is no Land Account in depreciation habang tumatagal mas nagmamahal ang lupa so there is no point to use the depreciation equation for it Fro example Acquisition Cost= 150,000 Salvage Value=0 Useful Time 5 years

AC(150,000)-SV(0)/UT(5Yrs) = 30,000 In order to record the depreciation, debit the depreciation expense and credit accumulated depreciation Depreciation Expense Dr. 30,000

Accumulated Depreciation Cr. 30,000
