(n) December 31, 20XX鈥擳o expense arts and crafts supplies in the amount of $2,000.
Debited Expense $2,000
Credited Arts Craft Supplies $2,000

The ones that I think are wrong are g, h, and i. Thanks for your help!

(d) July 15, 20XX鈥擳ransferred temporarily restricted funds in the amount of $3,000 from investments to pay for additional arts and crafts supplies.
Dr Cash $3,000
Cr Investments $3,000
If you look at (c) of the same date, you needed cash of $3k to pay for the arts & crafts. Apparently you didn't have enough cash and had to transfer from investments to cash, hence the entry above.

(g) December 31, 20XX鈥擳o account for $1,750 in fees from parents earned in the first six months of operations, but collected in the second six months.
Debited Cash $1,750
Credited A/cs receivble $1,750
You already earned the revenue in the 1st six months, when you'd have debited AR. Now that the parents have paid, you'd credit AR.

(i) December 31, 20XX鈥擳o account for expenses (John鈥檚 Deli) in the amount of $1,500 incurred during the first six months of operations, but paid in the second six months.
Debited AP $1,500
Credit Cash $1,500
You'd have credited AP in the 1st six months.

The others are correct.

I think you have a problem with (g) and (i). Both of those items have been collected or paid so they would not involve a payable account or receivable account. They would both involve cash. You don't mention how much you are off.

(h) looks correct because that amount has not been collected yet.
