Answer 1

1)

The correct option is C. The entry to record the earned portion of rent previously received in advance from a tenant and recorded in a real account.

Initially when the Rent received in advance the entry would be

Debit Cash (Real Account)

Credit Unearned Rent Revenue (Liability Account)

And at the end of period, the entry to record the earned portion of rent would be

Debit Unearned Rent Revenue (Decrease in Liability Account)

Credit Rent Revenue (Recognition of Revenue)

Hence the correct option is C.

2)

The correct option is A. A debit to Rental Commissions Receivable for $60,000 and a credit to Rental Commissions Revenue for $60,000

Since the first cash collection was due on Jan 3,2013 i.e. Next Year, the company is required to record the portion of Commission Revenue in the year ending Dec 31, 2012 $60,000

So the Commision Rental is receivable $60,000 at the end of year 2012 and Commission Rental Revenue is $60,000
