Answer:
$13,200 per year
Explanation:
Amount incurred to improve the office space = $
Improvement expected to yield benefit = 10 years
Remaining life on it's lease = 8 years
Since the office space is not going to remain with Phoenix after the lease period, it means that the improvement expenses will be expensed over the remaining lease period I.e 8 years.
Therefore, the amount of expense that should be recorded the first year related to improvements can be calculated as;
= Amount incurred to improve the office space ÷ remaining life on its lease
= $105,600 ÷ 8
= $13,200 per year

Year end balances at 31 December:
Rent Expense = $3450
Prepaid Rent = $10350
Explanation:
Assumption: The year end for the business in on 31 December.
1.
The rent is paid in advance thus it is an asset. On 31 December the adjusting entry will be made under the accrual principle to match the current period's rent expense and record it in the period to which it belongs to. Thus we will credit the rent expense for 3 months i.e. October, November and December. We will credit the asset account that is Prepaid Rent.
2.
The prepayment of rent is creating an asset account in the title of prepaid rent. The entry would be to record the asset prepaid rent by the full amount of the rent prepaid and credit the other asset account through which the payment is being made.
3.
The adjusted year end balance for rent expense will be the rent expense paid for this period that is $1150 * 3 = 3450
The balance in the prepaid rent account after adjusting the rent expense will be,
Prepaid rent = 13800 - 3450 = $10350
