    Hi!

    I can see that your misstatement is a result of multiple errors.

    Please input the following journal entry to arrive in proper balance.

    a) Depreciation for the month amounts to $1 300.

    Dr. Depreciation Exp 1300
    Cr. Accumulated Deprecaition 1300

    (b) Supplies on Hand at 31 December amount to $850. (this means that 850 was left, therefore 2300 was used)

    Dr. Supplies Expense 2300
    Cr. Supplies 2300

    (c) During December, $350 of the unearned commissions were earned.

    Dr. Unearned Commission 350
    Cr. Commission Earned 350

    (d) Balance of Prepaid rates at 31 December amounted to $1 150. (is it rent? or rate?) (this means that 1150 was left, therefore 1100 was used)

    Dr. Rent Expense (if it is rate, just suppply appropriate account title) 1100
    Cr. Prepaid Rent 1100

    (e) Accrued wages amounts to $1 350 at 31 December.

    Dr. Wages 1350
    Cr. Accrued Wages ( or use Creditor. This is a Liability account)

    (f) Accrued Telephone expenses at 31 December estimated to be $720

    Dr. Telephone 720
    Cr. Creditor 720


    Good luck! :D
