B. $24,000 for the rent and $18,000 for the insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Accrual method is a way of recording accounting transactions for revenue based on the time when they are earned and when the expenses are incurred.

Here, in the given scenario, $24,000 is accrued or $2000 per month is accrued.

The payment for insurance or rent spans for 2 time periods. That is six  months this year and six months next year.

We know that insurance is a type of payment liability and accrues only when its paid.

So, he answer here will be option B.

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

86 / 6 = 14.3
