Explanation of Solution

Journal:

Journal is the method of recording monetary business transactions in chronological order. It records the debit and credit aspects of each transaction to abide by the double-entry system.

Issuance of common stock on January1:

  • Cash is an asset account, and it is increased. Therefore, debit Cash account.
  • Common stock is a component of shareholder’s equity, and it is increased. Therefore, credit common stock account.

Purchase of land on signing a note on January 5:

  • Land is an asset account, and it is increased. So, debit the Land account.
  • Note Payable is a liability account, and it is increased. So, credit the Note Payable account.

Purchase of storage container equipment for cash on January 9:

  • Equipment is the asset account, and it is increased. Hence, debit it.
  • Cash is the asset account, and it is increased. Hence, credit it.

Hiring three employees per month on January 12:

  • Hiring the employees does not have any impact on the financial statements. Hence, no journal entry is needed for this transaction.

Receipt of rental fees for the month on January 18:

  • Cash is an asset account and it is increased. Hence, debit Cash account.
  • Service Revenue is a revenue account, which is a component of stockholders’ equity, is increased. This in turn increases the stockholders’ equity. Hence, credit the Service Revenue account.

Purchase of office supplies on account on January 23:

  • Supplies are the asset account and have a debit balance in nature. Since the supplies has purchased, the value of asset has increased. So, debit the Supplies account.
  • Accounts Payable is a liability account and credit in nature. Since the payment of purchased supplies have not made, the liability has arises. So, credit the Accounts Payable account.

Payment of salaries expense for the current month on January 31:

  • Salaries and Wages Expense is an expense account and debit in nature. Since the expense related to salaries of employees has incurred, the value of expense is increased. So, debit the Salaries and Wages Expense.
  • Cash is an asset account and debit in nature. Since the amount has paid for the salaries and wages of the employees, the value of asset has decreased. So, credit the Cash account.
