2. Rental income accrued implies income earned but not received. So we need to record it for the period it was earned, hence we add it.

3. Supplies used represents consumption of assets, i.e an expense. So, we deduct it from the income.

4. The income received in advance represents unearned income . This would be deducted from the net income
