Understanding Balancing of Transactions and Building Financial

School: Westwood College - Course: ACCOUNTING 122 - Subject: Accounting

Between working full-time and taking to online classes, I would like to think I have a pretty good routine going for balance. As far as class work goes and this being my first online class, I am having a hard time retaining the information. I got a notebook and started taking notes. I am mostly confused about the balancing of transactions. I get confused on adjusted and unadjusted trial balances and from that building the financial statements. For example: The adjusting entries from the previous examples are: DebitCredit(1) Dec. 31 Accounts Receivable5,000 Service Revenue5,000 To record December accrued revenue. (2) Dec. 31 Interest Receivable600 Interest Revenue600 To record December accrued interest revenue. (3) Dec. 31 Salaries Expense360 Salaries Payable360 To record salaries earned but not paid. (4) Dec. 31 Unearned Revenue1,500 Service Revenue1,500 To record deferred revenue now earned. (5) Dec. 31 Insurance Expense200 Prepaid Insurance200 To record one month of insurance expired. (6) Dec. 31 Supplies expense7,000 Supplies7,000 To record supplies used. (7) Dec. 31 Depreciation Expense750 Accumulated Depreciation— Trucks 750 To record one month of depreciation.

I wouldn't know where to begin. The definitions are simpler to learn, and I make flashcard type material to help learn them. Some a bit confusing, but again it is the easiest of the chapters.
