The adjusting entry is a journal entry recorded at end of accounting period to adjust events or transactions to comply with the accrual concept. In the event 1, the inventory is purchased on cash, there will be recording for the inventory received. In the event 2, there is issuance of further share capital then cash or bank will be debited and share capital account will be credited. In the event 3, there is purchase of equipment which is partially through cash and partially through signing notes payable. Event 4 reflects borrowing the cash by signing a short term note payable. Event 5, will have no effects as there is only negotiations and nothing has actually happened.
