The balance in Prepaid Advertising represents the amount paid for newspaper advertising for one year. The agreement, which calls for the same amount of space each month, covers the period from February 1, 2012 to January 31, 2013. Deliverall did not advertise during its first month of operations.

The equipment, purchased January 1, has an estimated life of 8 years.

Utilities expense does not include expense for December estimated at $258. The bill will not arrive until January 2013.

At year-end, employees have earned $1,320 in wages that will not be paid until January.

Supplies on hand at December 31 are $1,672.

At year-end, unpaid interest of $495 has accrued on notes payable.

The firm's lease calls for rent of $578 per month payable on the first of each month, plus an amount equal to 0.5% of annual mailing fees earned. The rental percentage is payable within 15 days after the end of the year.
