Answer 1

Answer:

Salaries expense 5,190

 Salaries payable   5,190

unearned rent revenue  90940 debit

      rent revenue                90940 credit

advertizing expense  6,800 debit

  prepaid advertising      6,800 credit

interest expense        3,934 debit

        interest payable       3,934 credit

Explanation:

Salaries accrued

5 employes   $750 each = 3750

3 employees $480 each = 1440

Total = 5190

Rent revenue

$6,670 per month x 5 lease x 2 months (from Nov 1st to Dec 31st)  =66700

$6,060 per month x 4 lease x 1 month = 24240

total 90940

advertizing:

8,400 / 12 months x 8 months expired = 5600

9,600 / 24 months x 3 months expired =  1200

total 6,800

interest on note payable:

principal x rate x time

56,200 x 12% x 7/12 = 3,934
