Step-by-step explanation:

March 31, 2018

Prepaid insurance $14,740 - 3,618

Supplies 2,900 - 1,960

Equipment 22,100

Accumulated depreciation-equipment 5,680 + 1,226

Unearned revenue 9,730 - 6,487

interest payable 600

Income tax payable 2,600

Loan payable, due 2020 20,000

Rent revenue 30,900 + 6,487

Salaries expense 14,500

depreciation expense 1,226

1. The equipment, which was purchased on January 1, 2017, is estimated to have a useful life of four years. The company uses straight-line depreciation.

depreciation per year = $22,100 / 4 = $5,525

depreciation expense up to March 31, 2018:

$5,525 x 1.25 = $6,906.25 ≈ $6,906

adjustment entry = $6,906 - $5,680 = $1,226

Dr Depreciation expense 1,226

Cr Accumulated depreciation 1,226

2. One third of the unearned revenue related to rent is still unearned at the end of the quarter.

adjusting entry = 9,730 - (9,730 x 1/3) = $6,486.67 ≈ $6,487

Dr Unearned revenue 6,487

Cr Rent revenue 6,487

3. The loan payable has an interest rate of 6%. Interest is paid on the first day of each following month and was last paid March 1, 2018.

interest per month = $20,000 x 6% x 1/12 = $600

Dr Interest expense 600

Cr Accrued interest 600

4. Supplies on hand total $940 at March 31.

adjusting entry = $2,900 - $940 = $1,960

Dr Supplies expense 1,960

Cr Supplies 1,960

5. The one-year insurance policy was purchased for $14,740 on January 1.

insurance expense per quarter = $14,470 x 3/12 = $3,617.50 ≈ $3,618

Dr Insurance expense 3,618

Cr Prepaid insurance 3,618

6. Income tax is estimated to be $2,600 for the quarter.

Prepare the quarterly adjusting entries required at March 31.
