On April 1, 2013, CMP Corp. paid $60,000 for rent on warehouse space one year in advance. On October 1, 2013, CMP Corp. entered into a lease agreement to rent out its old warehouse space it was no longer using. This agreement calls for CMP to receive $4,000 per month from the lessee, due and payable at the end of the 4-month lease term.
