    a. Debit Unearned Rent Revenue, $4,500; Credit Rent Revenue, $4,500

    Explanation:

    When the company receives the $27,000 check for six months of advance rent, it records the unearned revenue in a liability account named Unearned Rent Revenue. The resulting journal entry is:

    (Dr) Cash, $27,000

    (Cr) Unearned Rent Revenue, $27,000

    With the passing of each month, the company earns one-sixth (1/6) of the unearned rent revenue (or $4,500), essentially reclassifying the revenue from unearned to earned. Therefore, after one month, the resulting journal entry is:

    (Dr) Unearned Rent Revenue, $4,500

    (Cr) Rent Revenue, $4,500
