Pierre Kirby · Answer 1

The adjusting entries are shown below:

1. Rent expense A/c Dr $2,800

To Rent payable $2,800

(Being rent is adjusted)

2. Accrued rent A/c Dr $850

To Rent revenue A/c $850

(Being rent income is recorded)

Since we have to pass the adjusting entries so we debited the expenses account and credited the liability side in the first entry, whereas in the second entry we debited again the expenses account and credited the income account.
