Answer:

decrease the stockholder equity and decrease in assets

Explanation:

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

In the given case,  

The rent is paid for the current month, so the journal entry would be

Rent expense A/c Dr XXXXX

    To Cash A/c XXXXX

(Being rent is paid)

So it decreases the stockholder equity as it includes the income and expenses part and it decreases in assets as it reduces the cash balance
