TUCKER BOATS Tucker Boats began business on September 1, 2013, as a retail sales outlet for Swellcraft water- ski and fishing boats. Tucker Boats is located on Oe outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, and the area provides skiers and fishermen with ample opportunities for boating recreation at nearby Lake Mead. Joe Tucker was excited that he was able to get his business established before the spring, so that he would have his operations running smoothly by the peak sales period during spring and early summer. Tucker Boats has adopted a September 30 as fiscal year end, just in time to stock new merchandise. On September 1, Joe and his attorney were involved with issuing the stock of this closely-held corporation. On this same date, he hired a recent graduate of a local trade school, Henry Webster, to be responsible for boat repairs. In the next few days of September, he rented a sales office, boat garage, and lot space. The store is open Monday through Saturday and Joe is there all six days. Henry works 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Both Henry and Joe are employees of the corporation. The next page shows Tucker Boat's chart of accounts. Following are descriptions of events occurring during September. After October begins, you are to close the accounts. Note: Since this is a new business, there are no beginning balances in your accounts.

Art Jensen, a new customer, purchased fishing gear at a price of $335, paying cash. The merchandise was included in the September 13 purchase at a cost of $222.

These account balances can then be used in making adjusting entries. Using these account balances and additional adjustment information below, record adjusting journal entries. Note that some information needed for adjustments is obtained from the description of the original transaction. For example, Henry's wage rate is given in a Sept. 1 description.

Adjustment information as of September 30, 2013 not already given in original transactions:

1. Joe was very conscientious in checking his customers' credit history. However, while at the Nevada State Boat Show, he learned that it is customary within the pleasure boating industry for retail boat sales to suffer bad debt losses equal to 5% of credit sales. Joe decides that it is prudent to use the 5% industry-wide standard until he has more experience with his own business and customers. Round estimate to the nearest dollar.
2. As a control measure, Joe counts his inventory of skiing and fishing accessories at 9/30/2020. He determines that the cost of this merchandise on hand is $1,140.
3. Joe counts his Supplies after the close of business on the last day of the month and determines the cost of unused supplies to be $262.
4. Joe estimates that his office furniture and boat related equipment will last eight years with no salvage. Fixed assets purchased in the first half of the month are depreciated for the entire month, while fixed assets purchased in the last half of the month are not depreciated until the second month. Depreciation is rounded to the nearest dollar.
5. Henry worked 20 days during September and did not work any overtime. Joe gets a monthly salary of $3,000.
6. On October 4, Tucker Boats received a $357 invoice from Desert Gas and Electric Company for utilities consumed during September.
