The journal entry is shown below:

Cash A/c Dr $8,400

To Prepaid Rent $8,400

(Being advance cash is received for four-month rent)

Since we have to record the journal entry, so we debited the cash account as the advance cash is received and credited the prepaid rent account as the cash is received for four-month rent
