The company's accounting period ends on December 31.<br /><br />First, let's calculate the total rent paid in advance:<br />\[ \text{Total rent paid} = 5 \text{ months} \times \$3,900/\text{month} = \$19,500 \]<br /><br />Next, we need to determine how many months of rent have been earned by December 31:<br />- From October 1 to December 31 is 3 months (October, November, and December).<br /><br />Now, let's calculate the rent revenue earned for these 3 months:<br />\[ \text{Rent revenue earned} = 3 \text{ months} \times \$3,900/\text{month} = \$11,700 \]<br /><br />The adjusting entry on December 31 should recognize the rent revenue earned and reduce the unearned revenue accordingly.
