Solution:
➢ Fiscal year period: May 1, 2000 to April 30, 2001
➢ Change in annual rent: June 30, 2000
➢ Rent expense:
o May 1, 2000 to June 30, 2000: 84,000 x 2/12 = 14,000
o July 1, 2000 to April 30, 2001: 96,000 x 10/12 = 80,000
o Total rent expense = (14,000 + 80,000) = 94,000

➢ Prepaid rent:
o Last payment date: April 1, 2001
o Amount paid: 96,000 ÷ 4 quarters = 24,000
o Unexpired portion as of April 30, 2001 = 24,000 x 2/3 = 16,000
