The Chandler Corporation began business on January 2, 2007. It is now time for Chandler to prepare its financial statements for 2007. The bookkeeper at Chandler was able to complete the asset section of the balance sheet, but he needs your help to complete the liabilities and stockholder's equity sections. Set forth below are Chandler's liability and shareholder's equity accounts before any adjustments. During the course of your work you discover certain other items that had not been taken into account when preparing the general ledger accounts.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries to adjust the accounts. Some of the accounts already have an original entry; however the original entry may be misstated. You only need the entry to correct. Using "T" accounts may help you with this process. Once you have completed your entries prepare, in good form, the liability and stockholder's equity sections of Chandler's balance sheet. Use appropriate financial statement format, and include the appropriate parenthetical information where required.
