I want the journal entry for round trip between year end date, e.g:
flight to: 01 Dec 2018, $6000;
return : 01 Jan 2019, $4000;Total Fare: $10,000;
Total Taxes: $ 500;
Paid on : 15 Nov 2018thank you very much
January 11, 2019 at 7:13 am #500764The cost would be allocated to the periods in which the flights take place. Assuming that you mean that the taxes would be in addition to the fares, if this $500 was not shown as split between the two flights it would have to be estimated. There is usually information on an airline’s www about airport taxes/duties etc, so, for example, if they depend on the class of travel (economy/premium/business) and both flights were of the same class, the taxes would be split 50:50 regardless of the individual flight fares. So, I suggest the journals would be:
Dr Travel expenses $10,500/Cr Cash $10,500 – on 18 Nov
At the end of the year:
Dr Prepayments $4,250/Cr Travel expenses $4,250 - AuthorPosts
