from Tssm 2008 question 2.1
Annual Insurance of 1500(plus 150 gst) was paid in advanced 1 July 2009
The pre-adjusted trail balance shows prepaid insurance as DR: 1375
and its calculating the expense for the quarter ending 30 september 2009
i dont get it ><
because of the 1500 you paid on 1 july, 125 of it was for july, so that 125 wasn't prepaid insurance, it was just insurance expense. so only 1375 went into prepaid insurance. Hence, the BDA for 30 september would only be for august and september, as july is already accounted for.
That's my interpretation of it anyway.
Hmmm yeah i put insurance expense as 250 too but the answer says 375
This is what i did i thought that they will have 1125 remaining (1500/12 X 9)
therefore 1375 - 1125 = 250
but then for some reason the trial balance states 1375 as prepaid insurance so calculating it that way doesnt work?
i would need to do it as 1500/12 = 125
and i have used 3 months which is 375 as insurance expense?
