13. At each year end, Pierogi Factory makes several adjusting entries so that its assets, liabilities, income and expenses are recorded properly and in the correct time period. Here is a partial list of some accounts that require adjusting entries at the end of 2021:

    • PREPAID EXPENSES: This current asset includes the cost of napkins, straws, tablecloths, dishes, flatware, and a variety of other supplies needed to stock its restaurants. The balance of these prepaid expense items at December 31, 2020, was $13,378. A physical count of these items performed on December 31, 2021, revealed that $12,580 of prepaid expense items were on hand. Assume that purchases of napkins, straws, tablecloths, dishes, flatware, and other items during 2021 totalled $63,500.

    • EQUIPMENT DEPRECIATION: Pierogi Factory uses a variety of equipment in its restaurants and kitchen. At the end of 2020, the companys equipment had a total original cost of $425,000 and accumulated depreciation of $123,500. The fixed asset ledger shows that depreciation on this equipment should be $71,250 for 2021, but it has not yet been recorded. Also, early in 2021, the company acquired new equipment for $75,000. The company depreciates its equipment on a straight-line basis over five years.

    • GIFT CARDS: As noted in Requirement 7, Pierogi Factory sells gift cards to its customers. As at December 31, 2020, it had $15,629 in outstanding, unredeemed gift cards. Assume that during 2021, it sold $37,000 in gift cards. As at December 31, 2021, there were $12,619 in unredeemed gift cards outstanding.

    • SALARIES AND WAGES PAYABLE: The balance of Salaries and Wages Payable at December 31, 2020, was $31,570, which represented salaries and wages earned by Pierogi Factory employees in 2020 that were then paid in January 2021. When Pierogi Factory paid the $31,570 in January 2021, it reduced Salaries and Wages Payable and credited Cash. As at December 31, 2021, Pierogi Factory employees had earned salaries and wages of $39,401 that would be paid in early January 2022.
