Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of expense amount is shown below:

= Expenses - adjusted prepaid expense + adjusted accrued expense

= $35,200 - $500 - $450

= $34,250

The adjusted prepaid expense is computed by

= Ending balance of prepaid expense - beginning balance of prepaid expense

= $1,800 - $1,300

= Ending balance of accrued expense - beginning balance of accrued expense

= $1,200 - $1,650

= -$450
