Valeria Riddle · Answer 1

The answer is: C) $14,000

Explanation:

ABC Tax Planning Services paid six months of rent in advance, from January to July. It spends $7,000 per month on rent, so the six months prepaid rent would be $42,000. On April 30, 2018, ABC had already rented the offices for 4 months, so it had only two months left in its Prepaid Rent account, equivalent to $14,000 (2 x $7,000).
