I would debit something in owners equity

Your answers on (a) - (c) look good (but check your dollar amount on (c)). Also, on (a) the debit might be to a more specific account, such as "Salaries Expense", although if your Income Statement simply has "Administrative Expenses" as a single account, then you're OK as is.

For (d) it depends on who Fred is. If he's an owner, I concur with Brentyg1's answer. An owner taking company assets home for personal use is a form of dividend, or owner's draw. If ol' Fred has some other relationship to the company--an employee, or vendor, say--post back and we'll discuss.
