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
