On October 1, , the following journal entry will be recorded in respect of the advance rent paid by the Hoosiers for one year of rent space at local mall:
Debit Credit
Prepaid Rent $22,800
Cash $22,800
2.
The year end given in this question is December 31 and the prepaid rent is paid for one year and since the rent is paid on October 1, therefore, only expense in respect of 3 months i.e. from October to the December will be recognised in this year in respect of rent expense. Remaining expense of nine months will be recognised in the next year.
The following adjusting Journal entry will be recorded in respect of rent expense in accounts on December 31.
Debit Credit
Rent expense(22,800*3/12) $5,700
Prepaid Rent $5,700
