Numbers 1 and 2 are correct.

Number 6 should be:
Dr. Salaries Expense 5,800
Cr. Salaries Payable 5,800

How do YOU think you should do numbers 3, 4, and 5?

Number 3 should be:

Furniture and equipment: 125,000
Less: Accumulated Depreciation 15,000
Net Book Value: 110,000

110,000 x .1 = 11,000

Dr. Depreciation Expense 11,000
Cr. Accumulated Depreciation 11,000


Number 4 should be:
Dr. Interest Receivable 630
Cr. Interest Revenue 630

It is a note receivable, NOT a note payable


Number 5 is correct.
