Explanation:

When salaries are incurred but yet to be paid, the expense has to be recorded with a corresponding liability known as accrued expense. When interest is earned but yet to be paid, it has to be recognized as a credit to the income statement and a debit to the balance sheet.

When insurance is paid in advance, the entries required are  

Debit Prepaid Insurance

Credit Cash account

As time elapses and the insurance expires,

Debit Insurance expense

Since payment was for 2 years, period elapsed as at December 31, 2017 is 7 months hence amount of expense

= 7/24 * $1,200

= $350

When a fee is received in advance for a service yet to be rendered, the revenue for such fee is said to be unearned. The entries required are

Debit Cash account and Credit Unearned fees or deferred revenue.

As the service is performed and the revenue is earned, debit Unearned fees and credit revenue.

When Supplies is purchased, Debit supplies and credit Cash/Accounts payable. As Supplies are used up, debit supplies expense (with the amount used) and Credit Supplies account.

Amount of supplies used

= $2500 - $1000

= $1,500
