Answer 1

Answer :-

( a ) :-

Particulars	Amount
Monthly lease payments	$19,300
Number of months ( March - December )	10 months
Total rent expense	= $19,300 * 10 = $193,000

( b ) :-

Particulars	Amount
Rent revenue	= $19,300 * 10 months = $193,000
Commission expense	= [ $31,680 / ( 4 years * 12 months ) ] * 10 = [ $31,680 / 48 ] * 10 = $660 * 10 = $6,600
Depreciation expense	= [ $1,563,600 / [ 10 years * 12 months ] ] * 10 = [ $1,563,600 / 120 ] * 10 = $13,030 * 10 = $130,300
Income	= $193,000 - [ $6,600 + $130,300 ] = $193,000 - $136,900 = $56,100
