    1. You need to calculate the interest that has been earned from Jun 1 to the end of your accounting period. Then your adjusting entry is Debit Interest Receivable for the amount because you have not received it yet, and Credit Interest Revenue for the amount because you have earned this interest.

    2. you need to calculate the unearned revenue that is earned for the accounting period. Your acocunts will be Unearned Revenue and Earned Revenue.

    3. You need to calcule the rent that has been used during the period. Your acocunts are Prepaid Rent and rent Expense.

    4. the amount is given, your accounts are Wages Expense and Wages Payable.
