Answer 1

Adjusting entries are provided below and computations are shown below each entry in brackets:

Date	Particulars	Dr	Cr
12/31/17	Interest expense	2,400
	Interest payable		2,400
	($80,000*0.09*4/12 = 2400)
12/31/17	Rent expense	156,000
	Prepaid rent		156,000
	(4*4500*4 = 72000)
	(2*7000*6 = 84000)
	(72000+84000 = 156000)
12/31/17	Unearned service revenue	93,500
	Service revenue		93,500
	(5/9*12600*8 = 56000)
	(3/6*15000*5 = 37500)
	(56000+37500 = 93500)
