Answer:

rent expense 3,000 debit

prepaid rent 3,000 credit

Step-by-step explanation:

To record the necessary Adjusting Journal Entry for #3

Being #3:

On Nov. 1, 20X1, Maverick paid 6-months of rent in advance for a total of $9,000.

We will calculate the value of a single month by dividing the 9,000 prepaid payment over the six month paid

9,000/6 = 1,500

Now we multiply by the months past:

1,500 x 2 (November and December) = 3,000

the entry will recognize an expense for 3,000 and decrease the prepaid for the same ammount.
