The following additional information was gathered at September 30, 2019, the end of Just Like Fred Astaire’s quarterly accounting period. Assume Fred uses a quarterly accounting period and all adjustments and adjusting entries are made only at the end of each quarterly accounting period (i.e. AJEs are only made on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31^st).   No adjusting entries have been made yet for the third quarter, ending September 30^th, 2019 related to the below items:

1. On August 1, 2019, Fred prepaid $8,700 for the next six months’ rent, covering the period of August 1, 2019 – January 31, 2020. This was recorded as Prepaid Rent. Fred last prepaid rent on February 1, 2019 in the amount of $8,400, which covered the six-month period of February 1, 2019 – July 31, 2019.
2. Fred charges customers $60 for each dance class. On September 15^th, Daniel registered for three group classes with Fred. One was provided in September, on September 25^th. The other two lessons will be provided in the following accounting period, on October 2^nd and October 9^th. Daniel will pay for all three classes on October 9^th. Fred has not yet billed Daniel for the September class, and no entry related to the September class already provided has been recorded yet.
3. Fred purchased a truck for $37,920 on February 1, 2016, which was recorded as Equipment. The truck has $0 salvage value, and has an estimated useful life of 8 years. Fred uses the straight-line depreciation method to allocate the cost of the truck evenly over its eight-year useful life.
4. Fred pays its workers a total of $8,000 every 2-week pay period. Each 2-week pay period includes exactly 10 work days, i.e. $800 per work day. The last cash payment to workers was made on Friday September 20^th for the pay period of September 7^th – September 20^th.   The next cash payment of $8,000 will be made on October 4^th and covers the pay period of September 21^st – October 4^th, which includes 6 work days left in September and 4 work days in October.
5. Fred charges customers $60 for each dance class. On July 28^th, Grace signed up for four separate group dance classes, one which was provided in August, two which were provided in September, and one which will be provided in October. Grace prepaid Fred $240 in advance for all four classes on July 28^th which was recorded as Deferred Revenue.
