    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
    4) $450 / $1825

    The answer is 2 and below is the solution:
    T account of electricity

    Dr
    cash 400
    cash 350
    cash 425
    cash 450
    “Bal cf 150??
    ——

    ——

    Cr
    Bal bf 250

    P/L(balancing figure) 1525

    —-

    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 😀
