    The adjusting entry to be made by the Swifty Corporation is:

    Rent Expense $3,040 (debit)

    Prepaid Rent $3,040 (credit)

    Explanation:

    On the day the cash was paid, the entries will be:

    Prepaid Rent $18240 (debit)

    Cash $18240 (credit)

    On the day the financial statements are prepared, rent for one month would have expired, the adjusting entries will be:

    Rent Expense $3,040 (debit)

    Prepaid Rent $3,040 (credit)

    Conclusion:

    We are recognizing an Expense; Rent Expense and de-recognizing an Asset : Rent Prepaid.
