    a.

    Accounting Equation

    Event Assets = Equity + Liability

    1. Services + $20,400 + $20,400

    2. Rent Payment - $13,800

    +$13,800

    3. Adjustment - $12,650 - $12,650

    Cash $6,600

    Total Assets $7,750

    Statement of cash flow

    Increase in receivable ($1,150)

    Net Operating Cash flow $6,600

    Net Investing Cash flow $0,000

    Total Net cash flow $6,600

    Closing cash balance $6,600

    c.

    Year 1 Rent Expense = $13,800 x (11 / 12) = 12,650

    Rent Expense Expense to recognized next year = Prepaid Rent = $1,150

    Explanation:

    * Year end is December 31, Year 1

    As 11 months passed from February 1, Year 1 and expense of these months has been accrued, so only one months rent remains prepaid.

    Prepaid rent = $13,800 - $12650 = $1,150

    Cash = $20,400 - 13,800 = $6,600
