    1. Record the adjusting entry on December 31

    Dr. Cr.

    Rent Expense $12,000

    Prepaid Rent $12,000

    Explanation:

    Rent received in advance = $36,000

    Expense accrued = 36,000 x (4/12) = $12,000

    On December 31 the accrued expense of $ 12,000 is recorded, and adjusting entry will be posted with debit rent expense and credit prepaid rent accounts. Which will record the expense for 4 months and reduce the prepaid rent as 4 months have been passed.
