a. The Prepaid Insurance account shows a debit balance of $2,340, representing the cost of a three-year fire insurance policy that was purchased on October 1 of the current year.
b. The Office Supplies account has a debit balance of $400; a year-end inventory count reveals $80 of supplies still available.
c. On November 1 of the current year, Rent Earned was credited for $1,500. This amount represented the rent earned for a three-month period beginning November 1.
d. Depreciation on office equipment is $600.
e. Accrued salaries amount to $400.

Account Debit Credit
A Prepaid Insurance $2,340
Cash $(2,340)

B Office Supplies


C Rent


D Depreciation Expense $600
Office Equipment $(600)

E Salary Expense $400
Accrued Sallaries $(400)


All right I filled in what I have gotten so far. I am still a little confused on B and C. I don't know really how to list the $80 and what account it is and for c I dk if that's deffered revenue or accrued asset. I have no idea so I am not sure how to go about that.
So I guess any hints would really help and if you would see if what I had down was good
