Answer: $324,000
Explanation:
Cedar Corp. paid $432,000 for a year in advance. According to the Accrual principle in Accounting, expenses are to be recorded only when incurred.
The rent will therefore have to be apportioned to the months that it has paid for in the current period.
Rent for year = $432,000
Rent for month = 432,000/12 = $36,000
April - December = 9 months
Rent for the year = 9 * 36,000
= $324,000
Note; <em>Question is about Rent expense which is how much Cedar Corp has paid not about how much they have received. </em>
