Make the adjusting entry necessary to record depreciation expense for all of 2017. Your assistant has calculated depreciation for the year, as shown in in the “Extra Info” tab. FCM’s management has decided that a full month of depreciation is recorded if an asset is held for 15 days or more; if the asset is used less than 15 days in a month, no depreciation is recognized. For example, the equipment acquired on March 19 is depreciated as if it had been purchased bought on April 1. A computer sold on November 11 is depreciated as if it had only been used until October 31.

A lease payment of $6,000 for renting the office was made on October 1, 2017, for rental through September 30, 2018. The asset account was properly adjusted for October and November. The cost of leasing the office needs to be made for December 2017.

The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts should be established at 1% of Accounts Receivable as of December 31, 2017. Compute the balance after making the December adjusting entries.

During 2017 there were four notes payable outstanding (the three indicated below and the one repaid on December 22). Interest for two of these notes (SnapCut and WestBestVideo) is paid at maturity; interest on the Wells Fargo note is paid semiannually. Proper accruals of the interest were made as of November 30, 2017. Interest for December 2017 needs to be recorded.

         Your assistant calculated interest for December 2017 below:

SnapCut Inc., 6%, 6 months, due Feb. 28, 2018	10,000 x 0.06 x (1/12) =	50
WestBestVideo, 8%, 6 months, due Apr. 30, 2018	2000 x 0.08 x (1/12) =	13
Wells Fargo, 4.5%, 5 years, due Nov. 20, 2022	20,000 x 0.045 x (1/12) =	75

Insurance expense for December 2017 needs to be recorded using the number of days in the insurance policy.
