kaplan kit question.
Leddley owns two properties which it rents to tenants. In the year ended 31 December 20X6, it received $280000 in respect of property 1 and $160000 in respect of property 2. Balances on the accrued income and prepaid expense accounts were as follows:31 December 20X6 31 December 20X5
property 1 $13400 Dr $12300 Cr
property 2 $6700 Cr $5400DrWhat amount should be credited to the income statement for the year ended 31 December 20X6 in respect of rental income?

For property 1, they had a credit balance at the start of the year, and so they had received 12,300 last year in advance – it is income of this year.
At the end of the year they have a debit balance, and so they are still owed 13,400 for this years rent.
So the total income for this year is 280,000 + 12,300 + 13,400 = 305.700For property 2, they had a debit balance at the start of the year, so they were owed 5,400 from last year, which means that the 160,000 cash received includes 5,400 which is last years income.
At the end of the year they have a credit balance, and so the tenant has overpaid rent this year (they have paid some rent for next year) and so the 160,000 cash received includes 6,700 which is next years income – not this years income.
So the total income for this year is 160,000 – 5,400 – 6,700 = 147,900September 15, 2018 at 4:47 pm #474670The Umbrella Shop has the following trial balance as at 30 September 20X8.

As the figure of $13,000 is after writing off damaged goods, no further adjustments are
necessary. Remember that you are effectively crediting closing inventory to the statement of profit
or loss and the corresponding debit is to the statement of financial position.

Thank you in advance
September 16, 2018 at 12:00 am #474714But they have calculated the prepayment. It is 3/12 of the administration expenses of 6,000
September 16, 2018 at 5:39 am #474725But in (c) there is late invoice for $12000 (covering year ended 30 June 2009),which is not included in the trial balance.
The year is ended in 30 September 2008 ,therefore there is prepayment 12000/12×9=9000.Is it correct?
September 16, 2018 at 9:01 am #474734No, that is not correct.
Given that the invoice has not been entered or paid, there is no pre-payment. They owe for the 3 months to September and there is therefore an accrual of 3/12 x 12,000 = 3,000 as stated in the answer.
