How do you make entry if owner draws money from company?

If the owner intends to pay back the money: Dr. Accounts Receivable and Cr. Cash. If the owner does not intend to pay it back but the company owes the owner money: Dr. Loan/P to Owner and Cr. Cash If the owner does not intend to pay it back and the company does not owe the owner money: Dr. Retained Earnings and Cr. Cash This would either be considered a dividend or a distribution, depending on the structure of the company (corporation vs. partnership vs. LLC vs. sole proprietorship) Alternately, it could be treated as Net Pay. In that case, you would "gross-up" the amount charged to Salary Expense as a Debit and Credit Payroll Taxes Payable and Credit Cash for the amount taken.


If I don't use my credit card for a long time and the credit card complany decides to close my account will that look bad on my credit report?

It will remove the available amount of credit from your total sum of available credit. Chances are if it was only a very small amount(like a $1,000.00 or less) it won't make a difference. However if it was a larger amount that will reduce your available credit ratio/vs debt, that could drop your score. Check out EQUIFAX.com for an educated info on most or all credit score etc questions.

Applied overhead vs actual overhead?

APPLIED Overhead is computed using the predetermined overhead rate and is the amount of costs applied (or estimated) to be allocated (needed) for specific jobs. ACTUAL Overhead is found after the manufacturing process is complete which gives the actual amount of used/consumed resources (or total costs) that it needed to complete the job. The two amounts can then be compared afterward which is known as Under- or Overapplied Manufacturing Overhead. When Manufacturing Overhead has a DEBIT balance, overhead is said to be UNDERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead applied to work in process or to the certain job is LESS than the overhead incurred. On the contrary, when manufacturing overhead has a CREDIT balance, overhead is OVERAPPLIED, meaning that the overhead assigned to work in process or to the certain job is GREATER than the overhead incurred.
