    On July 1, Year 1, Gee, Inc. leased a delivery truck from Marr Corp. under a 3-year operating lease. Total rent for the term of the lease will be $36,000, payable as follows:

    12 months at $500 = $6,000

    12 months at $750 = $9000

    12 months at $1,1750 = $21,000

    All pmts were made when due. In Marr’s June 30, year 3, B/S, the accrued rent receivable should be reported as:

    A. $0

    B. $9,000

    C. $12,000

    D. $21,000

    Correct answer is $9,000

    I just don’t get wiely’s way they express the problem. “They said payable as follow”. But how the heck I can know 6,000 for year 1 and 9,000 for year 2 and 21,000 for year 3? The problem makes no mention about the payment schedule. I really hate question like this and found so many errors in wiley…

    Operating leases are recognized on a uniform basis, regardless of the payment schedule. So, on a $36,000, 3 year agreement, you'd expect to earn $1,000 a month (36,000/36).
    At the end of 24 months you would have earned $24,000, but you've only received 15,000.

    24,000-15,000 = 9000

    Cash 15000
    AR 9000
    Revenue 24000

    I hope this helps.
