a.

The revenue is received in advance for December 2021, January and February 2022. At the end of the year, the revenue for December has been earned and will be recorded as revenue and a decrease in liability of deferred revenue.

Revenue December = 3150 / 3 = 1050

b.

The advertisement expenses were paid in advance. On 31 December, the ads for december has been consumed and the expense will be recorded.

Advertising expense december = (2430 / 30)  * 10  = 810

c.

The salaries relating to december are accrued and will be paid in January. Thus, an accrual will be recorded against the salaries expense.

d.

The note carries interest that becomes due over the lifetime of the note. The accrual principle matches the revenues and expenses of a particular period. Thus, interest relating to 4 months from September 2021 to December 2021 will be recorded as an expense and a liability in adjusting entry made on 31 december 2021.

Interest expense 2021 = 61000 * 0.09 * 4/12  = 1830
