    Goodwell will recognize 3 months (Oct 1 - Dec 31) of rent revenue earned, and will reduce (debit) the unearned rent revenue for those 3 months.

    2,500 x 3 months = 7,500

    Journal Entry, Dec 31:

    Unearned Rent Revenue: 7,500

    Rent Revenue: 7,500

    The new Unearned Rent Revenue Account balance will be:

    12,500 - 7,500 = 5,000
