    1 and 2 – good job

    3:
    Dr. Cash 10
    Cr. AR 10
    If it has already been billed, the revenue has already been recorded.

    4 – 5 – good job

    6:
    Confused a bit here.
    I see $3 of interest payable on your balance sheet, are you just now paying that?

    If so,
    Dr. Interest Payable 3
    Cr. Cash 3

    7:
    Dr. Cash 9
    Dr. AR 9
    Cr. Service Revenue 18

    You made $18 in sales. You got half in cash $9, and the other half in AR (still owed)

    8 – 9 – good

    14 – can't do that just yet. First need to do adjusting entries to calculate net income.

    10 – correct, except you should probably stick to one common revenue name.

    Earlier you called it Service Revenue, here you call it Fees Earned

    11 – 13 – good

    Before we do 14, we must calculate Net Income:

    Revenues
    (7) Cr. Service Revenue 18
    (10) Fees Earned 3
    Total Revenue = 21

    Expenses
    (1) Wage Expense 5
    (11) Interest Expense 1
    (12) Depreciation Expense 4
    (13) Supplies Expense 5
    Total Expenses = 15

    Net Income = 6

    Now we can do 14.

    14.Declared & paid cash on dividend in amount of 50% of net income

    Dr. Dividends 3
    Cr. Cash 3

    Are you expected to do Closing entries as well?
    Dr. Retained Earnings 3
    Cr. Dividends 3

    Plus closing your revenue and expense accounts.
