The amount that Carlos can deduct for rent in the year 2021, based on his annual rent is <u>c.$1,000.</u>

When recording rent, you can only record it for the period that the financial statement is for.

The rent given is for 18 months from December 2021 which means that it will be for only a single month in December.

The rent will therefore be a rental amount for a month:

= Rental amount / Number of months

= $18,000 / 18

= $1,000

In conclusion, option C is correct.
