Answer:
$4,870.5
Explanation:
Annual Depreciation Expense: 
= [(Cost - Salvage Value) × Machine Usage in 2020] ÷ Total Estimated Working Hours
Depreciation Expense for 2020 (for 3 months only - October to December): 
= [($115,900 - $13,900) × 1,910] ÷ (10,000) × (3/12) 
= ($102,000 × 1,910) ÷ (10,000) × (1/4) 
= $19,482 × (1/4) 
= $4,870.5
Notes:
Depreciation will be calculated for only 3 months since the asset has been acquired on 1st October 2020.

Explanation:
I ordered the accounts and included a couple that were missing:
- Cash 12,650 
- Accounts receivable 12,800
- Consulting revenue 12,800
- office supplies 2,850

- Salaries expense 6,490 
- Telephone expense 850 
- Miscellaneous expenses 660
First we need to determine net profit for the month:
Consulting revenue 12,800
Salaries expense -6,490
Rent expense -3,110
Telephone expense -850 
Miscellaneous expenses -660
net profit = $1,690
retained earnings = net profit - dividends distributed = $1,690 - $1,570 = $120
