1. Equipment with an expected economic life of five years was purchased on January | for $180,000. No depreciation was recorded for the period.

. A three-year insurance policy was purchased on January | for $30,000. The full amount is reported as prepaid insurance at December 31.

3. Repair work costing $26,000 was done on Faulty’s computer equipment in early December, but no expense was recorded because the bill has not been paid.

4. Faulty Corporation provided professional services for customers in the amount of $85,000 in late December, but nothing has been recorded because the bills will not be sent out until the second week of January.
