For number 1 if you are to receive the interest, then the entry is:
Debit Interest Receivable for 120
Credit Interest Revenue for 120

Number 2 is correct.

Number 3 is:
Debit Advertising Expense for 85
Credit Accounts Payable for 85

Number 4 you need to know the account balance to do this one. For example if your account balance is 190 and your physical count is 90, then your entry will be:
Debit Supplies Expense for 100
Credit Supplies for 100
This is done to bring your account balance into agreement with your physical count.

For number 4 again
The supplies on the worksheet is 310

Supplies on hand determined by a physical count 90

Would the entry now be: supplies expense 220 (debit)
Supplies 220 (credit)
