Its unadjusted trial balance as of December 31, 2017, follows. WTI initially records prepaid expenses and unearned revenues in balance sheet accounts. Descriptions of items a through h that require adjusting entries on December 31, 2017, follow.
Additional Information Items
1. An analysis of WTI's insurance policies shows that $2,807 of coverage has expired.

3. Annual depreciation on the equipment is $11,227.
4. Annual depreciation on the professional library is $5,614.
5. On November 1, WTI agreed to do a special six-month course (starting immediately) for a client. The contract calls for a monthly fee of $2,300, and the client paid the first five months' fees in advance. When the cash was received, the Unearned Training Fees account was credited. The fee for the sixth month will be recorded when it is collected in 2018.
6. On October 15, WTI agreed to teach a four-month class (beginning immediately) for an individual for $3,219 tuition per month payable at the end of the class. The class started on October 15, but no payment has yet been received. (WTI's accruals are applied to the nearest half-month; for example, October recognizes one-half month accrual.)
