    a. debit Unearned Rent Revenue, $2,500; credit Rent Revenue, $2,500.

    Amount shall be $2,580 for each debit and credit.

    Explanation:

    As in the given instance,

    the rent received relates to a period of 6 months.

    Thus, monthly rent = $15,480/6 = $2,580

    This means if books are closed on 31 July and rent is received on 1 July, then the rent will be recorded as income for one month amounting $2,580 out of the total $15,480

    Now, for recording this, since at the time of receiving the amount is recorded as unearned income, rent of 1 month is earned and shall form part of income.

    Entry a is correct but the amount shall be $2,580.
