Collins indicates that, at year-end, customers owe him $1,000 accrued service revenue, which he expects to collect early next year. These revenues have not been recorded.

During the year he has incurred $2,400 of advertising expense, but he has not yet paid for it. In addition, he has used up $2,100 of the supplies. Collins determines that depreciation on equipment was $7,000 for the year. At December 31, he owes his employee $1,200 accrued salary. The company issued no stock during the year.

You and Collins agree that you will meet again in one week.
