2	Insurance Expense	$          600.00
Prepaid Insurance		$                     600.00
[insurance purchased for 2 years from June onwards, thus expensed for 4 months till September and the rest will remain under prepaid insurance]
3	Depreciation	$      3,300.00
Accumulated Depreciation - Equipment		$                  3,300.00
4	Unearned Rent Revenue	$          500.00
