Working note
a. Calculation of supplies expenses
| Beginning amount of supplies Add: Purchase during the month Less: Supplies on hand at the end of the month | Rs. 2,850 4,710 1,930 |
| Supplies expenses | Rs. 5,630 |
c.
| Total unearned service revenue Less: Earned during the month | Rs. 9,300 7,100 |
| Remaining unearned service revenue | Rs. 2,200 |
d. Interest amount = Rs. 20,000 × 0.12 × 1 / 12 = Rs. 200
e. Calculation of depreciation on equipment
yearly depreciation = original cost – salvage value / estimated life

Depreciation for two-month = Rs 1,200 × 2 / 12 = Rs. 200
