3. It is estimated that supplies on hand equal $2,000 at month end.

4. The rent is prepaid quarterly and $7,500 covered the first quarter of 2017.

5. Equipment was all purchased at one time and has a life of 10 years with no salvage value. The equipment was 40 months old at the end of October.

6. At month end sales commissions of $3,000 were earned but unpaid. The company records sales commission liability as a salary liability.

7. The interest rate on long term debt is 6% per year. Interest will actually be paid at the end of each calendar quarter. (don't forget the current portion of debt)

8. It is estimated that electricity usage equaled $800 during January and the company expects to be billed in early February. Bills for utilities are entered into accounts payable.

9. The company has a long history of cost of goods sold and 70% is a reasonable estimate to use for monthly financial statements.

10. The company considers sales salaries, commissions, supplies, and advertising to be selling expense and all other expenses to be administrative.

Do the following requirements below. Create proper headings for each statement.
