    a. journal entry is credit to Office supplies of $1440 and debit to Inventory
    b. JE is credit AP by the amount that was due 12/31 and Debit Insurance expense
    c. Credit Salaries payable and debit Salaries at the amount of $800
    d. book depreciation. Use straightline method. If computer has 4 year life, it is 48 month life. When was computer purchased. Accumulated depreciation is the cost of the computer, divided by 48 and multiplied by the number of months in service
    e. same as d, except 36 months
    f. JE to reverse the rent payments booked to prepaid and charge to rent.

    36000./48 months x 3 months in service = depreciation amount
    Then you book a credit of $2250 to accumulated depreciation and $2250 to depreciation expense.
