    c. $4,600

    Explanation:

    The computation of the adjusted unearned rent account balance is shown below:

    = Advance rent received for five months - unearned rent for 3 months from October 1 to December 31

    where,

    Advance rent = $11,500

    And, the unearned rent would be

    = $2,300 * 3 month

    = $6,900

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would be equal to

    = $11,500 - $6,900

    = $4,600
