Please ,explain to me detailed.February 19, 2018 at 5:36 am #437927You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, and so you should ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about!
You first need to calculate the amount to fuel purchased. This is the cash paid, plus the amount still owing at the end of the year, less the amount that was owing at the start of the year.
Having calculated the purchases, you can work out the cost of the fuel actually used by taking the purchases, adding the opening inventory and subtracting the closing inventory. This is then the cost of the fuel used which is what appears on the SOPL.
February 19, 2018 at 6:21 am #437935Sir,l did not basically understand “there were invoices awaited” expression please,explain meaning of this expression to me
l comprehend so:
this expression means that invoices were sent and the money is expected
OR
invoices should be sent in October 20×7 but have not been sent yetl understand correctly ?? please clarify.
February 19, 2018 at 5:25 pm #437983It is the second – the invoices have not arrived yet (and so they are waiting for them).
However because they have received the fuel, they do owe for it even though the invoice has not arrived – so they need to accrue for it.
