When preparing your trial balance, you need to add up all the cash debits and credits to get the balance in the cash account (it’s $10,300 by the way). Now you just have to figure out the other side of the entries. Just remember that if you pay cash, it’s a credit, if you receive cash, it’s a debit, and if it’s “on account,” cash isn’t affected.
Good luck!

Explanatory note for Qn 5: 12 mths’ rent was paid on 1 Feb $5,400, i.e. each mth is $450. By 31 Dec, 11 mths’ rent shd be expensed off and you shd recognise 1 mth’s prepayment as the rent for Jan 2006 is prepaid.
Also, we’re not told the interest rate on the notes payable. If you do know the rate, you shd calculate the interest payable and:
Dr Interest expense (L side for interest exp a/c)
Cr A/cs payable or cash (R side of either AP or cash a/c)
