The additional data needed to develop the payroll and adjusting entries at June 30 are as follows:

b. Gross unpaid salaries for the last payroll of the fiscal year were $4,100. Assume that employee income taxes withheld are $820 and that all earnings are subject to OASDI.

c. Record the associated employer taxes payable for the last payroll of the fiscal year, $4,100. Assume that the earnings are not subject to unemployment.

d. On February 1, the company collected one year's rent of $6,300 in advance.
