Answer:
$5,100
Explanation:
Assuming a constant monthly rent rate throughout the year, the amount that should be recorded as rent expense, per month, is:
[tex]M = \frac{\$20,400}{12}\\M=\$1.700[/tex]
From January 1st through March 31st there are three full months. Therefore, the amount that should be recorded is:
[tex]A = 3*\$1,700\\A = \$5,100[/tex]
