    We need the expense for the 12 months from 1 May 2004 to 30 April 2005.

    The cash actually paid was 400 + 350 + 425 + 450 = 1625.

    However this includes 250 that was owing at the end of last year (and was therefore paid this year), that brings it down to 1625 – 250 = 1375

    Also, however, we have only paid up to 31 March 2005 and so we are still owing for April.
    Since the 3 months to March cost 450, we have to assume that the one month of April will cost 1/3 x 450 = 150 (the accrual therefore at the end of the year).

    So the total expense is 1375 + 150 = 1525.
