    The following transactions relate to Rashid’s electricity expense ledger account for the year ended 30 June 20X9:
    Prepayment brought Forward 550
    Cash paid 5,400
    Accrual carried Forward 650
    What amount should be charged to the statement of profit or loss in the year ended 30 June 20X9 for electricity?

    I would say that it is only the cash and the accrual but the correct answer is that we must add the prepayment as well. Normally we debit prepayment and credit expense. Or is it because the prepayment is brought forward and in order to close the account we must credit prepayment and debit expense?
    Thank you for your help!

    The prepayment was an amount paid last year in respect of this years electricity. Therefore it is an expense of this year.
