    Answer and Explanation:

    a. Since the advance rent payment is made for $120,000 on April 1 but we have to reported till December 31 i. e for 9 months instead of 12 months

    So, the amount reported is

    = $120,000 * 9 months : 12 months

    = $90,000

    Therefore, the adjusting entry is

    Rent expense Dr $90,000

    To Prepaid rent $90,000

    (Being the rent expense is recorded)

    And the other adjusting entry for 3 months for old warehouse is

    Rent receivable Dr $24,000 ($8,000 * 3 months)

    To Rent income $24,000

    (Being the rent receivable is recorded)

    Hence, the $90,000 should be reported as a rent expense on the income statement

    b. After recording the appropriate adjusting entry, the amount reported as a prepaid rent and rent receivable in the asset side of the balance sheet is $30,000 and $24,000 respectively.
