Multiple Choice
$7,000
$9,000
$14,000
$15,000
The correct answer is $7,000.
Balance of rent expense at the end of the period was $7,000.
Explanation:
It is given,
Revenues = $12,000
Supplies expense = $3,000
Net income = $2,000
Company's only other expense was Rent expense.
The equation for net income is,
Net income = Revenues - Expenses
$2,000 = $12,000 - (Supplies expense + Rent expense)
$2,000 = $12,000 - ($3,000 + Rent expense)
$3,000 + Rent expense = $12,000 - $2,000
Rent expense = $12,000 - $2,000 - $3,000 = $7,000
