      (To record adjustment entry for rent expense)


    Explanation of Solution

    The above journal entries can be explained as under −

    1. The amount paid for the right to sublease will be amortized using the remaining life of the asset and the months expired in the year 2015.
    2. Given,
      • Amount paid for the right to sublease = $ 40,000
      • Remaining life of lease = 5 years
      • Months expired in 2015 = 12 months (i.e. from January to December)
      • The amount to be amortized will be calculated as −

          Amortized amount = ( Amount paid  Remaining life of lease ) X ( Months expired in 2015 12 months )Amortized amount = ( $ 40,000 years   ) X (  12 months  12 months )Amortized amount = $ 8,000

      The rent expense will be debited with $ 8,000 and Accumulated amortization − Leasehold will be credited with $ 8,000

      1. The amount paid for the office improvement will be amortized using the remaining life of the asset and the months expired in the year 2015.
      2. Given,
        • Amount paid for office improvement = $ 20,000
        • Remaining life of lease = 5 years
        • Months expired in 2015 = 12 months (i.e. from January to December)
        • The amount to be amortized will be calculated as −

            Amortized amount = ( Amount paid  Remaining life of lease ) X ( Months expired in 2015 12 months )Amortized amount = ( $ 20,000 years   ) X (  12 months  12 months )Amortized amount = $ 4,000

        The Amortization expense - Leasehold Improvements will be debited with $ 4,000 and Accumulated amortization - Leasehold Improvements will be credited with $ 4,000.

      3. Now, the rent expense will be calculated as −
      4. Given,
        • Prepaid Rent = $ 36,000
        • Months expired in 2015 =12 months (i.e. from January to December)

        •   Rent Expense = Prepaid Rent X (  12 months  12 months)Rent Expense = $ 36,000

        The rent expense will be debited with $ 36,000 and prepaid rent will be credited with $ 36,000.

    Conclusion

    Thus, the adjusting journal entries to amortize the $ 40,000 cost of the sublease, to amortize the office improvement and to record rent expense have been prepared
