Answer and Explanation:

The adjusting entry is given below:

On Dec 31,2017

Unearned Rent Revenue $25,000 ($75,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months)

To Rent Revenue $25,000

(Being revenue earned is recorded)

Here unearned rent revenue is debited as it decreased the liability and credited the rent revenue as it increased the revenue
