Why are these the journal entries?

Bad debt expense would be:
= Amount determined to be uncollectible + Remaining accounts receivable that is uncollectible
= (4,000 x 20%) + (10,600 x 5%)

= $830

Supply expense:

= Supplies amount - Supplies at end of January

= 3,600 - 800

= $2,800

Interest receivable:

= Note receivable x Interest / Number of months in year

= 15,000 x 6%/12

= $75

Salaries expenses are $34,600.
