Could someone please help. I cannot figure out exactly how to journalize these transactions.

Completed a large delivery job, billed the customer $2000, and received a promise to collect the $2000 in one week,

Collected $500 in advance for delivery service to be performed later.

Paid office rent, $500. THis rent is not paid in advance.

Prepaid insurance, $600

Paid $100 on account.

Paid cash dividends of $1900

Any help would be greatly appreciated
