Action real estate received a check for $18k on jul 1 which represents a 6 month advance payment of rent on a building it rents to a client. unearned rent was credit for the full $18k. financial statements will be prepared on jul 31. action real estate should make the following adjusting entry on jul 31

Explanation:

Since in the given question, the action real estate has received a check of $18k on July 1 which represents a 6 month advance payment. That means, we have to calculate for full year payment instead of 6 month.

So,

For  a year = ( Amount × 12 months ) ÷ 6 months

                  = $18 k × 12 ÷ 6

                  = $36 k

Now, we have to find for 1 month because the adjusting entry was made on July 31 and the check is received on July 1.

So ,

1 month =  Yearly Amount ÷ Total months in a year

             = $36 k ÷ 12 months

             =$3 k

Hence, the adjusting entry would be :

Unearned Rent A/c Dr     $3 k

    To Rental revenue                   $3 k

(Being adjusted entry recorded)
