Answer:

Walnut Company

1. Adjusting Journal Entry:

December 31, Year 1:

Debit Wages Expense $4,900

Credit Wages Payable $4,900

To accrue unpaid wages at the end of the year.

General Journal Entry:

January 6, Year 2:

Debit Wages Payable $4,900

Credit Cash Account $4,900

To record the payment of accrued wages.

2. General Journal Entry:

December 12, Year 1:

Debit Cash Account $4,800

Credit Deferred Rent Revenue $4,800

To record the receipt of rent in advance.

Adjusting Journal Entry:

December 31, Year 1:

Debit Deferred Rent Revenue $3,200

Credit Rent Revenue $3,200

To adjust for rent revenue earned for 20 days.

Explanation:

The rent revenue of $4,800 according to the question is for 30 days.  December 12 to December 31 has 20 days while January 1 to January 10 has 10 days.  So the rent revenue for Year 1 is computed as $4,800 * 20/30 = $3,200 while the remaining balance will be for rent revenue in Year 1 ($4,800 * 10/30).
