Table (1)

Working note:

Calculate the amount of prepaid rent expired during the year.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Prepaid rent expired during the year =Prepaid rent paid}\times \\ \frac{\text{Number of months rent expired}}{\text{Total number of months rent prepaid}}\\ \text{= \$12,000}\times \frac{9\text{months}}{12\text{months}}\\ =\$9,000\end{array}$ (1)

b.

To determine

Post the 2016 events to T-accounts.

Explanation of Solution

T-account:

T-account is the form of the ledger account, where the journal entries are posted to this account. It is referred to as the T-account, because the alignment of the components of the account resembles the capital letter ‘T’.

The components of the T-account are as follows:

a) The title of the account

b) The left or debit side

c) The right or credit side

Post the events to T-accounts as follows:

Cash
1.	35,000	2.	12,000
5.	55,500	6.	21,000
		7.	28,000
