Answer 1

Journal

Date	Account title	Debit	Credit
Dec. 31, 2019	Salaries expense	$1,600
	Salaries payable		$1,600
	(To record salary expense)
Dec. 31, 2019	Interest expense	$200
	Interest payable		$200
	(To record interest expense)
Dec. 31, 2019	Insurance expense	$2,500
	Prepaid insurance		$2,500
	(To record insurance expense)
Dec. 31, 2019	Unearned revenue	$10,500
	Subscription revenue		$10,500
	(To record Subscription revenue earned)

Salaries expense for last week of 2019 = 4,000 x 2/5

= $1,600

Interest expense for 4 months of 2019 = 10,000 x 6% x 4/12

= $200

Insurance expense for 10 months of 2019 = 6,000 x 10/24

= $2,500

Subscription revenue for 7 months of 2019 = 54,000 x 7/36

= $10,500
