Shortly after closing the accounting books, you discovered the following additional
information:
1. Utilities of $6,600 for the month of December 2013 has not yet been paid and recorded.
2. Timothy has yet to receive and record a commission income of $4,000 for the last quarter
of 2013.
3. Annual interest rate of the long-term loan is 10%. Only half of the interest expense has
been paid during the year.

Can I Credit Accrued Expense for question 1 and 3. If not, please help me to explain why?

Yes you can. I would use Accrued Expense 1 and Accrued Interest Expense for 2 but you could just use Accrued Expense for both
