    Numbers 1 and 2 are correct.

    Number 6 should be:
    Dr. Salaries Expense 5,800
    Cr. Salaries Payable 5,800

    How do YOU think you should do numbers 3, 4, and 5?

    Number 3 should be:

    Furniture and equipment: 125,000
    Less: Accumulated Depreciation 15,000
    Net Book Value: 110,000

    110,000 x .1 = 11,000

    Dr. Depreciation Expense 11,000
    Cr. Accumulated Depreciation 11,000


    Number 4 should be:
    Dr. Interest Receivable 630
    Cr. Interest Revenue 630

    It is a note receivable, NOT a note payable


    Number 5 is correct.
