Question
Ref-2: On 1St October, 2022, a rent payment of $360,000 was made for two years in advance with respect to the company's warehouse premises, and debited in full to 'Prepaid Rent'. The rental tenancy began on 1st October, 2022. What is the required adjusting journal entry for the 2023 financial year end?
Solution
The adjusting journal entry for the 2023 financial year end would be to recognize the rent expense for that year and reduce the prepaid rent account accordingly. Here's how to do it:
-
Determine the monthly rent expense: 15,000 per month.
-
Calculate the rent expense for the 2023 financial year: 180,000.
-
Make the adjusting journal entry:
Debit (decrease) Prepaid Rent: 180,000
This entry recognizes the rent expense for the 2023 financial year and reduces the prepaid rent account by the same amount. At the end of 2023, the balance in the Prepaid Rent account would be $180,000, which is the rent paid in advance for 2024.
