    1.-

    insurance expense 1,020 debit

    prepaid insurance 1,020 credit

    2.-

    rent revenue 1,650 debit

    cash 1,650 credit

    cash 1,650 debit

    unearned revenue 1,650 credit

    unearned revenue 1,100 debit

    rent revenue 1,100 credit

    3.-

    advertizing expense 535 debit

    advertizing supplies 535 credit

    4.-

    interest expense 802 debit

    interest payable 802 credit

    Explanation:

    2-years of 4,896 AKA 24 months

    months outstanding during the year: August 1st to December 31th: 5 months

    4,896 x 5/24 = 1,020

    purchases of advertising materials 801

    materials on hand at year-end (266)

    advertising expense 535

    we must reverse the entry as the rent revenue wasn't accrued yet we have unearned revenue and at year-end we adjust for the earned protion which is 2 months: 1,650 x 2/3 = 1,100

    as the inerest are accrued it means we aren't paying them at year-end
