Solution

The adjusting entry to be made by the Winter Shoe Store on 31 July is:

Debit Rent Expense, 1,000;CreditPrepaidRent,1,000; Credit Prepaid Rent, 1,000.

Here's why:

  1. The Winter Shoe Store paid 6,000for6monthsrentinadvance.Thismeansthemonthlyrentis6,000 for 6 months' rent in advance. This means the monthly rent is 6,000 / 6 = $1,000.

  2. On 1 July, the full amount was recorded as Prepaid Rent, which is an asset account. This means the company has paid for something it will receive in the future.

  3. By 31 July, one month of the prepaid rent has been used up. This means $1,000 of the Prepaid Rent should be moved to Rent Expense.

  4. To do this, you would debit (increase) Rent Expense by 1,000andcredit(decrease)PrepaidRentby1,000 and credit (decrease) Prepaid Rent by 1,000.

So, the correct adjusting entry is:

Debit Rent Expense 1,000CreditPrepaidRent1,000 Credit Prepaid Rent 1,000
