Solution

The rent paid on 1st October, 2018 for one year up to 30th September, 2019 was Rs.2,400. The rent paid on 1st October for the year up to 30th September, 2020 was Rs.3,200. To determine the rent shown in the P&L A/c for the year ended on 31st December, 2019, we need to consider the portion of rent that corresponds to the year 2019.

Step 1: Calculate the number of months the rent covers in 2019. The rent paid on 1st October, 2018 covers 12 months, from October 2018 to September 2019. Therefore, the rent covers 3 months in 2019 (October, November, and December).

Step 2: Calculate the portion of rent for 2019. To calculate the portion of rent for 2019, we need to divide the total rent paid by the number of months it covers. For the year 2019, the rent covers 3 months. So, the portion of rent for 2019 is Rs.2,400 / 12 * 3 = Rs.600.

Therefore, the rent shown in the P&L A/c for the year ended on 31st December, 2019 would be Rs.600.

The correct answer is option c) Rs.3,000.
