Step-by-step solution

Step-by-Step-SolutionStep1: Calculation of Salaries Expense

Salaries expense is calculated as follows: $$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{SalariesExpense}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{SalariesPerWeek}\mathbf{\times }\frac{\mathbf{NumberofDaysExpired}}{\mathbf{NumberofDaysPerWeek}} \\ \mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{400}\mathbf{\times }\frac{\mathbf{4}}{\mathbf{7}} \\ \mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{800} \end{gathered}$$

Calculation of Office Supplies Used

Office Supplies Used is calculated as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{OfficeSuppliesUsed}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{BeginningBalance}+\mathbf{Purchases}-\mathbf{OfficeSuppliesonHand} \\ \mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{2}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{300}+\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{3}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}-\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000} \\ \mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{4}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{300} \end{gathered}$$

Calculation of Insurance Expense

Insurance expense is calculated as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{InsuranceExpense}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{AmountPaid}\mathbf{\times }\frac{\mathbf{NumberofMonthsExpired}}{\mathbf{TotalMonthsofInsurancePaid}} \\ \mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{6}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\mathbf{\times }\frac{\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{24}} \\ \mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{500} \end{gathered}$$
