Entries to establish security alarm maintenance


Case Scenario:

Jill and Phil have just established a security alarm maintenance service. They charge $20 per hour per person and are usually paid by check upon completion of the job. For certain customers, they send a bill immediately and are paid promptly by return mail. Their out-of-pocket expenses are rather low – usually only supplies and transportation. Following are the entries to the accounting system that were made for the first 12 transactions of the company.
