Answer 1

Correct option is Statement a.

Dr. Rent Revenue = $1,600

Cr. Unearned Rent = $1,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Provided information rent received for 1 year = $6,400

Date of receiving Rent = April 1, 2010

Since rent is for 1 year the period is from 1 April to 31 March of next year.

Thus, rent for current year 2010 =
`6,400 * (9)/(12) = 4,800`

Unearned rent for current year = $6,400 - $4,800 = $1,600

Therefore, on December 31 the adjusting entry will be:

Dr. Rent Revenue = $1,600

Cr. Unearned Rent = $1,600

Correct option is Statement a.
