1. The age of the airplane

You said 36 months, and I agree with you.


2. The monthly airport rent expense

- May 1, prepaid for 6 months
- On June 30, $7,200 left in the prepaid account (4 months remaining).

7,200 / 4 = 1,800

Therefore, the monthly rent expense is $1,800


3. The amount paid for the 12-month insur policy on 2/1

You said $6,000 and I agree with you.

Thank you so much for the quick response and your help.
