Final answer:

The adjusting entries for Intelligent Toys, Inc. involve accounting for expenses such as electricity and salaries, adjusting depreciation on the building, ratifying prepaid insurance, accounting for supplies on hand, estimating allowance for bad debts, and recognizing interest expense on a notes payable.

Step-by-step explanation:

To prepare the adjusting entries for Intelligent Toys, Inc. for the month of March 2022, we'll address each of the items (a) to (g) provided:

  1. Electricity: Debit Utilities Expense 5600; Credit Accounts Payable 5600
  2. Salaries: Since the last payment was on 10 March and covers up to 9 March, we need to account for the salaries from 10 March to 31 March. This would be for a period of 16 working days (22 days minus 6 weekend days). Therefore, the salary expense for March would be 27,000 / (30/5) * 16 = 14400. Debit Salaries Expense 14400; Credit Salaries Payable 14400
  3. Depreciation on the building: The building's annual depreciation is calculated by dividing the building's historical cost by its useful life of 25 years. Without the cost provided, we cannot calculate the exact expense. However, the journal entry would be: Debit Depreciation Expense - Building; Credit Accumulated Depreciation - Building
  4. Insurance: The monthly insurance expense would be the total paid divided by 12 months. Debit Insurance Expense; Credit Prepaid Insurance
  5. Supplies: This is an adjustment for the supplies used. Debit Supplies Expense; Credit Supplies
  6. Allowance for Bad Debt: Without the closing accounts receivable balance, we cannot calculate the exact amount for bad debt. However, the entry would be: Debit Bad Debt Expense; Credit Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
  7. Interest on Notes Payable: The monthly interest on the notes payable would be (150,000 * 0.10) / 12. Debit Interest Expense; Credit Interest Payable

These are the journal entries needed to adjust the financial records of Intelligent Toys, Inc. as of 31 March 2022.
