Table (1)

Working notes:

Calculate depreciation expense.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Depreciation expense = }\frac{\text{Book value }-\text{Salvage value}}{\text{Estimated useful life}}\\ =\frac{\left(\$7,500-\$2,400\right)}{3\text{years}}\\ =\$1,700\end{array}$ (1)

Calculate rent expense.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Rent expense = Prepaid rent }\times \text{Time period}\\ \text{=}\$6,600\times \frac{11\text{months}}{\text{12 Months}}\\ =\$6,050\end{array}$ (2)

Calculate supplies.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Supplies}\text{(Adjustment) =}\text{Purchase of supplies }-\text{Ending balance of supplies}\\ \text{=}\text{\$1,100}-\text{\$120}\\ \text{=}\text{\$980 }\end{array}$ (3)

Calculate unearned revenue.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Unearned revenue =}\text{Cash paid }\times \text{Time period}\\ \text{=}\text{\$9,000}\times \frac{8\text{months}}{\text{12 months}}\\ =\$6,000\end{array}$ (4)
