    Increase Rent Expense, $4,000; decrease Prepaid Rent, $4,000.

    Explanation:

    Since Fisher Shoe Store paid $24,000 to Acme Realty for 6 months rent beginning July 1, we will calculate monthly rent amount by:

    24,000/6 = $4,000

    Financial statements are prepared on July 31, so we will adjust the July rent in the adjusting entry.

    We will debit the rent expense by $4,000 and credit the prepaid rent which is an asset to decrease it by an amount of $4,000.
