    1. Calculate the insurance expense for the period. The entry is Debit Insurance Expense for the amount and Credit Prepaid insurance for the amount.

    2. Calculate the difference between the Supplies Account and Supplies onhand. Then Debit Supplies Expense for the amount and Credit Supplies for the amount.

    3. Calculate 3 months of depreciation for both items. Then Debit Depreciation Expense for the Total amount, Credit Accumulated Depreciation - Cottages for the Cottages depreciaiton and Credit Accumulated Depreciation - Furniture for the Furniture Depreciation.

    4. Debit Unearned Rent Revenue for the amount, Credit Rent Revenue for the amount.

    5. Debit Salaries Expense for the amount, Credit Salaries Payable for the amount.

    6. Debit Accounts Receivable for the amount, Credit Rent Revenue for the amount.

    7. Calculate 3 months of interest. Principal X Rate X Time. $120,000 X 7% X 3/12. Debit Interest Expense for the amount, Credit Interest Payable for the amount.
