Below are transactions for February 2018:

Record Journal Entries for following transactions:

02/01 Included in WWC's February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,500 account due from Kit Kat, a WWC customer. Kit Kat is having cash flow problems and cannot pay its balance at this time. WWC arranges with Kit Kat to convert the $1,500 balance to a note, and Kit Kat signs a 6-month note, at 9% annual interest. The principal and all interest will be due and payable to WWC on August 1, 2012.

02/02 WWC paid a $900 insurance premium covering the month of February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense.

02/05 An additional 150 units of inventory are purchased on account by WWC for $11,250 - terms 2/15, n30.

02/05 WWC paid Federal Express $450 to have the 150 units of inventory delivered overnight. Delivery occurred on 02/06. (Hint--Recall company uses perpetual inventory system, record transportation fees as part of inventory costs-debit to inventory)

02/10 Sales of 120 units of inventory occurred during the period of 02/07 - 02/10. The sales terms are 2/10, net 30. (Hint --Recall company follows FIFO. What are the COGS of 120 sold units?)

02/15 The 40 units that were paid for in advance and recorded in January are delivered to the customer. (Hint --Recall WWC follows FIFO. What are the COGS of 40 sold units?)

02/15 10 units of the inventory that had been sold on 2/10 are returned to WWC. The units are not damaged and can be resold. Therefore, they are returned to inventory. Assume the units returned are from the 2/05 purchase.

02/16 WWC pays the first 2 weeks wages to the employees. The total paid is $2,500.

02/17 Paid in full the amount owed for the 2/05 purchase of inventory. WWC records purchase discounts as a reduction of inventory costs (credit to inventory).

02/18 Wrote off a customer's account in the amount of $1,850.

02/19 $6,000 of rent for January and February was paid. Because all of the rent will soon expire, the February portion of the payment is charged directly to expense.

02/19 Collected $9,700 of customers' Accounts Receivable. Of the $9,700, the discount was taken by customers on $6,500 of account balances; therefore WWC received less than $9,700.

02/26 WWC recovered $570 cash from the customer whose account had previously been written off (see 02/18).

02/27 A $800 utility bill for February arrived. It is due on March 15 and will be paid then.

02/28 WWC declared and paid a $650 cash dividend.

02/29 Record February interest expense accrued on the note payable(Hint-Recall company's note payable accrues interest at a 12% annual rate and Note payable is $14,500)

02/29 Record one month's interest earned Kit Kat's note (see transaction on 02/01).
