Answer 1

Rent expense= $30,900

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-refundable fee expense for year 2016 = $10,500 / 5

Non-refundable fee expense for year 2016 = $2,100

Annual rent expenses = Monthly rental * 12 month

Annual rent expenses = $2,400 * 12

Annual rent expenses = $28,800

Rent expense for year ended June 30, 2016 = Annual rent expense + Non-refundable fee expense for the year

Rent expense = $28,800 + $2,100

Rent expense = $30,900
