Question

Carla Vista Co. was organized on April 1, 2021, by Margaret Moore. Margaret is a good manager but a poor accountant. Margaret used information from the unadjusted tabular summary to prepare the following income statement for the quarter that ended March 31, 2022.

Carla Vista Co.
Income Statement
For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2022
Revenues
         
 
Rent revenue
      $79,680  
Operating expenses
         
 
Advertising expense
  $4,032      
 
Salaries and wages expense
  26,496      
 
Utilities expense
  1,440      
 
Depreciation expense
  768      
 
Maintenance and repairs expense
  2,688      
 
    Total operating expenses
      35,424  
Net income
      $44,256

Margaret knew that something was wrong with the statement because net income had never exceeded $20,000 in any one quarter. Knowing that you are an experienced accountant, she asks you to review the income statement and other data.

You first look at the accounting records. In addition to the account balances reported in the income statement, the tabular summary contains these selected balances at March 31, 2022.

Supplies
  $4,320
Prepaid Insurance
  6,912
Notes Payable
  19,200

You then make inquiries and discover the following.

1.   Rent revenue includes advanced rentals for summer-month occupancy, $20,160.
2.   There were $576 of supplies on hand at March 31.
3.   Prepaid insurance resulted from the payment of a 1-year policy on January 1, 2022.
4.   The mail on April 1, 2022, brought the following bills: advertising for week of March 24, $104; repairs made March 10, $1,000; and utilities $232.
5.   Wage expense totals $280 per day. At March 31, 3 days’ wages have been incurred but not paid.
6.   The note payable is a 3-month, 7% note dated January 1, 2022.

Prepare a correct income statement for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
