How do I record a loan to the business and advance payment on vendor royalties?
I loaned my business $1,600 through my bank account to cover an advance royalty payment to an author. I am trying to ensure I made all the proper entries.
Loaning to Company:
Credit $1,600 to Owners Liability -> Loan Payable
Debit $1,600 to Bank Account
Record the Bank Fee:
Debit $100 to Bank Account
Credit $100 to Bank Fee
Advance to Author:
Debit $1,500 to Bank Account
Credit $1,500 to Other Current Assets - > Advance on Royalty Payment
This is where I am confusing myself. How do I record the monthly repayment of the royalty to the company? I created a Vendor Credit on her Vendor Account to apply the monthly bills/payments to her royalty account.
Vendor Credit:
Category: Other Current Assets - > Advance on Royalty Payment $1,500
Vendor Bill:
Category: Royalty Payment -> $100
Apply Bill to Credit.
Creat Journal Entry to apply to advance?
Debit $100 to Other Current Assets - > Advance on Royalty Payment
Credit $100 to Bank Account
Create Journal Entry to Repay Loan?
Credit $1,600 to Owners Liability -> Loan Payable
Debit $1,600 to Bank Account
Am I overthinking things???
