Definitely not option C, that doesn't add up at all!

I thought they would recognize some kind of prepayment, but I guess not?

Wait, how can there be an accrual if they didn't pay anything in year 1?

I agree, option D makes the most sense here.

The lease payments start in year 2, so only $50k expense for 20X8.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think through the key details and see if I can logically determine the correct answer.

I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to double-check the documentation to make sure I'm not missing anything important.

Option C seems like the most logical choice here. The auditor is responsible for the fair presentation of the financial statements, not management.
