Adjusting Entries - Round to two decimal places.

The rent payment made on June 17 was for June, July and August. Expense the amount associated with one month's rent.

A physical inventory showed that only $247.00 worth of office supplies remained on hand as of June 30.

The annual interest rate on the mortgage payable was 7.00 percent. Interest expense for one-half month should be computed because the building and land were purchased and the liability incurred on June 16.

Record a journal entry to reflect that one half month's insurance has expired.

A review of Byte’s job worksheets show that there are unbilled revenues in the amount of $5,625 for the period of June 28-30.

The fixed assets have estimated useful lives as follows:

Building - 31.5 years

Computer Equipment - 5.0 years

Office Equipment - 7.0 years

Use the straight-line method of depreciation. Management has decided that assets purchased during a month are treated as if purchased on the first day of the month. The building’s scrap value is $7,000. The office equipment has a scrap value of $400. The computer equipment has no scrap value. Calculate the depreciation for one month.

A review of the payroll records show that unpaid salaries in the amount of $606.00 are owed by Byte for three days, June 28 - 30. Ignore payroll taxes.

The note payable to Royce Computers (transactions 04 and 07) is a five-year note, with interest at the rate of 12 percent annually. Interest expense should be computed based on a 360 day year.
