The Office Supplies account had a $400 debit balance at the beginning of December. During December, $5,126 of office supplies are purchased. A physical count of supplies at December 31 shows $563 of supplies available. The Prepaid Insurance account had a $5,000 balance at the beginning of December. An analysis of insurance policies shows that $2,600 of unexpired insurance benefits remain at December 31. The company has earned (but not recorded) $550 of interest revenue for the year ended December 31. The interest payment will be received on 10 days after the year-end January 10.
