ABC Tax Planning Service started business in January 2018. The company rented an office for 7,000 per month starting from January 1, 2018. On that day, ABC prepaid the rent through June 30. The company makes adjusting entries at the end of each month. What is the balance in the Prepaid Rent account as of April 30, 2018?

A.$ $3,500

B.$7,000

C.$14,000

D.$ 1,167

The answer is: C) $14,000

Explanation:

ABC Tax Planning Services paid six months of rent in advance, from January to July. It spends $7,000 per month on rent, so the six months prepaid rent would be $42,000. On April 30, 2018, ABC had already rented the offices for 4 months, so it had only two months left in its Prepaid Rent account, equivalent to $14,000 (2 x $7,000).
