Answer:

a. Record the events under an accounting equation (I divided the accounting equation in 2)

assets = liabilities + equity

cash prepaid rent

1) 18,000 0 0 18,000

2) -12,000 12,000

3) 0 -11,000 0 -11,000

revenue - expenses = net income cash flow type

1) 18,000 0 18,000 18,000 OA

2) 0 0 0 -12,000 OA

3) 0 11,000 -11,000 0 OA
