These are journal entries, so what is your question? You need to figure out what accounts are affected, how much and whether the account will be debited or credited.

For example, your fist date the owner deposits money into the bank for the business, so your accounts will be cash and the owners capital account. The amount is $15,000 and you are increasing Cash wich will be a debit and increasing the owners capital account which will be a credit. So your journal entry will be:
Debit Cash for $15,000
Credit Jean Kelly, Capital for $15,000

For the rest of your dates you just need to follow the steps I provided above to solve them. For the date on the 8th there will not be a journal entry. It is provided for info concerning your other dates i.e. the 17th and the 20th.
