Solution

The correct answer is a. Debit Revenue received in advance, 3,000;CreditRentalrevenue,3,000; Credit Rental revenue, 3,000.

Here's why:

The 24,000receivedrepresentseightmonthsrent.Therefore,themonthlyrentis24,000 received represents eight months’ rent. Therefore, the monthly rent is 24,000 / 8 = $3,000.

Since the financial statements will be prepared on 31 July, only one month's rent should be recognized as revenue. The remaining amount is still unearned and should remain in the Revenue received in advance account.

So, on 31 July, McCloud Realty Company Ltd should debit (reduce) the Revenue received in advance account by 3,000andcredit(increase)theRentalrevenueaccountby3,000 and credit (increase) the Rental revenue account by 3,000. This recognizes one month's rent as earned revenue.
