Comment-
Since in question there was no space for Expalanation, only title of accounts should be written in given column "Account Titles and Explanation". While entring in journal it is presumed that Tilton Corporation is Operating through Bank instead of Cash.
Entry 1 (Aug 1) - In issue of share, the liablity of capital will be increased as well as Bank Balance.
Entry 2 (Aug 4) - Since the prepaid expenses are related to current accounting year, these are treated as normal expenses. Expenses are debited and Bank balance which was reduced will be credited.
Entry 3 (Aug 16) - It is presumed that no sepearte entry is made for service is rendered to client. Here bank balance is increased So that will be debited and Income account "Service Revenue" will be created.
Entry 4 (Aug 27) - Salaries is expenses account so that will be debited and Bank balance which was reduced will be credited.
