Give at least 2 examples of adjusting entries?
I will give two examples but first I will give the original transaction then the "adjusting entry" that would be used.Prepaid Rent, many businesses that "rent" their buildings prepay for months at a time. Say you pay $5,000 a month for rent and you pay Six Months in Advance. It first goes on the books as follows.Prepaid Rent (Debit) $30,000Cash (credit) $30,000After the first month when the company reconciles their books, they need to show that one month of this rent has been "used up", this is an adjusting entry and is as followsRent Expense (debit) $5,000 (we only used one month)Prepaid Rent (credit) $5,000This "adjustment" is made monthly.The second one I will use isYour company purchased a computer on account. When you purchased the computer on account it became an account payable. You decide to make a payment toward the balance you owe, this will go in as an adjusting entry. The accounts would beAccount Payable (debit)Cash (credit)An adjusting entry is just what it's called, an entry to "adjust" an previous entry to it's current or new state. If you never adjusted entries, such as accounts payable, prepaid expense, etc, then your books would be inaccurate.

How do you adjust straight line amortization of deferred rent when lease is extended?
I am not entirely positive. But I believe you would take the balance of the deferred rent liability at relating to the lease prior to expansion and amortize it over the remaining life of the new lease. If deferred rent liability was 10k as of 10/31/2011 and you extended the lease term for two years ending 12/31/2013 you would calculate the new straightline expense of the lease at time of the extension through the end of the lease term and determine the deffered rent liability as of 12/31/2011. Then add 10K/24 = 417X 2 = 834 to the 12/31/2011 deferred rent balance of the new lease You are debiting the deferred rent liability and crediting expense to decrease the deferred rent liability associated with the old lease.
