ABC has a long-term lease with escalating rent. The total cost of the lease, inclusive of the value of landlord incentives, is amortized on a straight-line basis over the lifetime of the lease.

As a result of the pandemic, the landlord deferred half of the rent for April and May 2020, with the remaining half of each months’ rent to be paid over the course of twelve months beginning January 2021. 

Rent for each of April and May 2020 is $24,573.63.
