    Journalizing Transactions
    Could someone please help. I cannot figure out exactly how to journalize these transactions.

    Completed a large delivery job, billed the customer $2000, and received a promise to collect the $2000 in one week,

    Collected $500 in advance for delivery service to be performed later.

    Paid office rent, $500. THis rent is not paid in advance.

    Prepaid insurance, $600

    Paid $100 on account.

    Paid cash dividends of $1900

    Any help would be greatly appreciated
