Explanation / Answer

The fax done in December month is the expense of December Month, it is not relevant when we are making payment, a expense must be recorded when it happens.

So December Cost = Monthly Rent + (No. of fax * $0.08 per fax)

= 350 + (1400 fax * 0.08)

December Cost = $462

Rent Expense (Dr.) 462

Rent Payable (Cr.) 462
