a)Since the balance in prepaid rent in un-adjusted trial balance is 0 ,it means at time of payment the entire amount is debited to rent expense.So unexpired rent on May 31 will be debited to prepaid rent .

Out of 8months ,rent for 4 months is expired (1Feb-31May) and remaining unexpired .

Unexpired rent = 24000*4/8 = 12000

b)Policy 1:Out of 12months period ,insurance is expired for 5 months (1Jan -31May) :9000*5/12=3750

Policy 2 :Out of 6 months ,insurance expired for 2 months (1April -31May) :3000*2/6= 1000

Total insurance expense: 3750 +1000= 4750

c)Interest is accrued for 49 days (12 April -31 May ) : 65000*.06*49/365=523.56

d)Being interest on bond is accrued for 5months (1Jan -31May ) to be payable on July 1 2020 out of semiannual period of 6 months

f)Being service revenue earned for 2 months (1April -31May )= 2000*2 =4000

h)Being patent amortized :cost /useful life

                                      = 45000/5

                                     = 9000

i)carrying value of equipment =cost-accumulated depreciation

                     = 950333-215000

                    = 735333

Depreciation rate = 2/useful life

                   = 2/10

                     = .20 or 20%

Depreciation expense= 735333*20%= 147066.6

j)Allowance balance at year end = Accounts receivable *rate

                    = 88000 *3%

                      = 2640

Bad debt expense= Required balance in allowance account at year end - Un-adjusted balance at year end

                      = 2640- (-300)

                      = 2640 +300

                      = 2940

Normal balance of allowance account is credit so debit balance in un-adjusted trial balance for allowance account represent -300
