    Is this correct?:



    NO. It is either
    Dr. Cash 30
    Cr. Interest Receivables 30 OR Cr. Interest Income 30

    It depends if you have already accrued it or not. It depends when you year end is. If your year end is Dec. 31, then you would Cr. Interest Income.



    Dec.19 Received $125 from clients on account.

    Cash $125 DR
    Accounts Receivables $125 CR

    Is this correct?

    YES

    YES




    Dec.30 Wrote off $100 of prepaid rent as of November 30 to rent expense for December.

    Pre-paid Rent $100 DR not sure if it's correct and don't know which account to credit.

    Help.


    Dr. Rent EXPENSE 100
    Cr. Prepaid Rent 100




    Dec.31 Unexpired insurance premiums amounted to $1,800 as of December 31.

    Insurance Expense $1,800 Dr
    Pre-paid Insurance $1,800 CR

    Is this correct?


    No.

    You have the accounts right, just the amounts wrong.

    This is saying that you have 1,800 of insurance left.

    So you need to take the value of the pre-paid insurance and subtract 1800 from it.


    So if the value of the prepaid insurance is 3,000, then you record

    Insurance Expense $1,200 Dr
    Pre-paid Insurance $1,200 CR
