Answer to Part a.
Advertising Revenue = Advertising Receipts + Increase in Advertising Receivables - Increase in Unearned Advertising
Increase in Advertising Receivables =$25,000 -$20,000 = $5,000
Increase in Unearned Advertising = $38,000 - $30,000 = $8,000
Advertising Revenue for 2015 = $650,000 + $5,000 - $8,000
Advertising Revenue for 2015 = $647,000
Answer to Part b.
Interest Expense = Interest Paid + Increase in Interest Payable
Increase in Interest Payable = $70,000 - $60,000 = $10,000
Interest Expense for 2015 = $100,000 + $10,000
Interest Expense for 2015 = $110,000
Answer to Part c.
Wages and Salaries Paid = Wage Expense + Decrease in Wages Payable
Decrease in Wages Payable = $34,000 - $25,000 = $9,000
Wages and Salaries Paid in 2015 = $190,000 + $9,000
Wages and Salaries paid in 2015 = $199,000
Answer to Part d.
Cash collection from Land Rental = Land Rental Revenue + Increase in Unearned Land Rental Revenue
Increase in Unearned Land Rental Revenue = $53,000 - $46,000 = $7,000
Cash collection from Land Rental = $520,000 + $7,000
Cash collection from Land Rental = $527,000
