Explanation:

Supplies:

900 balance less 400 at hand = 500 use of supplies during the period.

(if there was purchaseds then we should also add them to the consumed / expensed amount)

Insurance 1,200 is the value of a year we need to know the first month of December which as expired:

1,200 a year / 12 months per year = 100 per month

wages:

5,000 full week

we recognize until Thursday thus 4 days:

5,000 / 5 days per week = 1,000 per day

1,000 per day x 4 days = 4,000 accrued wages and salaries

rest are selft-explanatory and there is no calculation needed
