    1. Your Credit should be to Salaries Payable.

    2. You Debit should be Unearned Rent Revenue.

    3. Your Debits and Credits are correct.

    To calculate the amount you need to calculate the per month amount, then times the number of months used.

    A650 $7,228/13*8 months Plus
    B974 $9,860/29*3 months

    4. Your Debits and Credits are correct.
