Hi, I have a doubt in the below question from kaplan text:
The electricity account for the year ended 30 April 2005 was as follows:
Electricity accrued at 1 May 2004: 250
Payments made during the year in relation to:
Quarter ending 30 June 2004 : 400
Quarter ending 30 September 2004 : 350
Quarter ending 31 December 2004 : 425
Quarter ending 31 March 2005 : 450
Which of the following is the appropriate entry for electricity?
Accrued at 30 April 2005 / Charge to statement of P/L for yr end 30 April 2005
1) $nil / $1375
2) $150 / $1525
3) $300 / $1675

Why have you asked exactly the same question 4 times?
Please do not do this again 🙂
(It won’t get you an answer any faster – we answer questions within 24 hours, but we cannot sit permanently at the computer 🙂 )
Oh my apologies, actually first i tried posting this on student forum but I was facing technical issue where after posting it, my topic wasn’t showing up, hence I tried reposting it a couple of times. But then, I posted this topic on tutor forum.
Thanks for your help 😀
