Additional adjusting data:

interest on investments amounts to $4,350 on December 31, 2008.
4. The unexpired portions of the insurance policies totaled $65,000 as of December 31, 2008.
5. $28,000 was received on January 1, 2008 for the rent of a building for both 2008 and 2009. The entire
amount was credited to rental income.
6. Depreciation for the year was erroneously recorded as $5,000 rather than the correct figure of
$50,000.
7. A further review of depreciation calculations of prior years revealed that depreciation of $7,200
