None of the interest has yet been received. 2. A six-month bank loan in the amount of $120,000 had been obtained on September 1. Interest is to be computed at an annual rate of 8 percent and is payable when the loan becomes due. 3. Depreciation on buildings owned by the campground is based on a 20-year life. The original cost of the buildings was $800,000. The Accumulated Depreciation: Buildings account has a credit balance of $300,000 at December 31, prior to the adjusting entry process. The straight-line method of depreciation is used. 4. Management signed an agreement to let 4H Troop 840 of Traverse City, Michigan, use the campground in June of next year. The agreement specifies that the 4H Troop will pay a daily rate of $50 per campsite, with a clause providing a minimum total charge of $3,500. 5. Salaries earned by campground employees that have not yet been paid amount to $2,800. 6. As of December 31, Scan House has earned $4,000 of revenue from current campers who will not be billed until they check out. 7. Several lakefront campsites are currently being leased on a long-term basis by a group of senior citizens.

At December 31, no rental payment has been made, although the campground has had use of the bus for 25 days. 9. Unrecorded Income Taxes Expense accrued in December amounts to $15,000.
