Mar.	1		Received three movies to be shown during the first three weeks of March. The film rental was $27,000. Of that amount, $10,000 was paid in cash and the remainder was on account. (Hint: Blossom uses the account Rent Expense to record film rentals).
	2		Hired M. Brewer to operate concession stand. Brewer agrees to pay Blossom 15% of gross receipts, payable on the last day of each month, for the right to operate the concession stand. (Hint: Blossom uses the account Concession Revenue to record concession receipts earned.)

	12		Paid balance due on the movies rented on March 1.

	15		Received $25,500 from customers for admissions for the first half of the month. (Hint: Blossom uses the account Fees Earned to record revenue from admissions.)

	23		Paid salaries of $4,200.
	26		Paid $1,250 of the balance due on the mortgage, as well as $750 of interest on the mortgage.
	28		Paid $3,000 for the monthly income tax instalment.
	30		Received statement from M. Brewer, showing gross concession receipts of $16,600, and the balance due to Blossom of $2,490 ($16,600 × 15%) for March. Brewer paid half of the balance due and will remit the remainder on April 5.
	31		Received $25,800 from customers for admissions for the past two weeks.

a) Journalize the March transactions. (List all debit entries before credit entries. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem.)
