    I found the following:

    1. Service revenue earned but not billed $915 - you have this in A/R. Since it wasn't billed, you want it in an Earned Revenue Receivable account, also an asset.
    2. Prepaid rent expired is $500. They are not saying that the final balance is 500, rather that $500 should be expensed. Also affects rent expense account.
    3. Check your Service Revenue. You are correct that $1410 is the final balance, meaning there was an adjustment for $1450. It looks like your credit was made for $1410 instead of $1450.
    4. Your rent expense should have changed due to the portion of prepaid rent that was expensed.

    Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
