Deferred rent payable is the sum of the difference between a monthly rent payment and the monthly rent expense of an operating lease that contains escalated payments in future periods. The rent expense is the sum of all rent payments over the term of the lease divided by the number of periods contained in the lease otherwise known as straight-line amortization. This rent expense amount can/may differ from the monthly rent payments. The difference is deferred rent payable.

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.

Is prepaid rent the same as deferred rent?

No, prepaid rent and deferred rent are not the same. Prepaid rent refers to rent that is paid in advance for a future period, meaning the tenant has already paid for the use of the property before the rental period begins. In contrast, deferred rent occurs when a tenant has an obligation to pay rent but delays the payment to a future date, often due to agreements that allow for reduced payments in the initial period of a lease.
