    Amount of adjusting entry was $400

    Remaining Balance of Prepaid rent account was $800

    Explanation:

    Prepaid Rent Expense account is made to calculate the remaining balance of prepaid rent:

    Prepaid Rent Account DR. CR. Balance

    Apr 1. Prepaid rent $1,200 $1,200

    Apr 30. Rent Expense for April $400 $800

    The remaining balance of prepaid rent account was $800.

    $400 was transferred to expense account because rent expense was accrued and adjusted for one month as follows

    $1,200 x (1/3) = $400

    The remaining balance is $800 ($1,200 - $400).
