At December 31, we must account for the amount of rent we’ve earned. 4,000 x 3/12 = 1,000 Dr Unearned Rent Revenue 1,000 Cr Rent Revenue 1,000 b. Salary expense is $1,500 per day—Monday through Friday—and the business pays employees each Friday. This year December 31 falls on a Tuesday. 1,500 x 2 = 3,000 Dr Wages Expense 3,000 Cr Wages Payable 3,000 c. The unadjusted balance of the Supplies account is $3,100. Supplies on hand total $1,200. 3,100 - 1,200 = 1,900 Dr Supplies Expense 1,900 Cr Supplies 1,900 d. Equipment was purchased last year at a cost of $10,000. The equipment’s useful life is four years.
