Respuesta :

Answer: A debit to Unearned Rent and a credit to Rent Earned for $2,400

Explanation:

The following information can be gotten from the question:

Amount of total rent = $6400

Since the cash relating to rent was collected and recorded on October 1, the amount unearned will be calculated using 3 months i.e from October to December. This will be:

= 3/8 × $6400

= 3 × $800

= $2400

The journal entry will be:

Unearned rent A/c Dr $2400

Rent A/c Cr $2400

A debit to Unearned Rent and a credit to Rent Earned for $2,400
