Rented an office and paid three months rent in advance to property management check $4500, how would this journal entry be posted to the general journal.

it wouldn't be posted to the general journal. Becuase.........

To post the journal entry for the payment of three months' rent in advance, follow these steps:

1. Identify the accounts involved:
- Rent Expense (or Rent Payable) account: represents the cost of renting the office space.
- Prepaid Rent (or Prepaid Expenses) account: represents the amount paid in advance for the rent.

2. Determine the amounts to be debited and credited:
- Debit the Prepaid Rent account with $4500: This increases the prepaid amount in the asset account.
- Credit the Cash or Bank account with $4500: This reduces the cash balance.

3. Create the journal entry:
The general journal entry should look like this:

Date | Account | Debit($) | Credit($)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Date] | Prepaid Rent (or Prepaid Expenses) | $4500 |
[Date] | Cash (or Bank) | | $4500

4. Record the entry in the general journal:
Enter the above journal entry into the general journal in the appropriate chronological order, including the date, account names, and the corresponding debit and credit amounts.

This journal entry increases the Prepaid Rent account on the asset side and decreases the Cash (or Bank) account on the liabilities side. As time passes, each month a portion of the prepaid rent will be transferred from the Prepaid Rent account to the Rent Expense account to reflect the rent being consumed.
