This account is referred to as the T-account, because the alignment of the components of the account resembles the capital letter ‘T’.’ An account consists of the three main components which are as follows:

• The title of the account
• The left or debit side
• The right or credit side

Prepare the T-Accounts:

Unadjusted trial balance:

Unadjusted trial balance is that statement which contains complete list of accounts with their unadjusted balances. This statement is prepared at the end of every financial period.

Table (3)

Working note:

Calculate the amount of supplies expense:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Supplies expense}=\text{Unadjusted balance}-\text{Supplies in hand}\\ =\$1,400-\$250\\ =\$1,150\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of unearned revenue:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Unearned revenue}=\text{Total amount}\times \text{60\%}\\ =\$3,500\times 60\%\\ =\$2,100\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of interest expense:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest expense}=\text{Total amount}\times 60\%\\ =\$30,000\times 60\%\times \frac{1}{2}\left(\text{Months}\right)\\ =\$150\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of depreciation expense:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Accumulate depreciation}=\text{Total amount}\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}\\ =\$24,000\times \frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}\\ =\$500\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of Insurance expense:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Insurance expense}=\text{Total amount}\times \frac{1}{12}\left(\text{Months}\right)\\ =\$5,700\times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\$475\end{array}$

Calculate the amount of rent expense:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Rent expense}=\text{Total amount}\times \frac{1}{12}\left(\text{Months}\right)\\ =\$4,200\times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\$350\end{array}$
