Please help me this question because I have some things misunderstanding
At the 31 March 20X2 a company had oil in hand to be used for heating costing $8,200 and an unpaid heating oil bill for $3,600
At 31 March 20X3 the heating oil in hand was $9,300 and there was outstanding heating oil bill of $3,200
Payments made for oil during year ended March 20X3 totalled $34,600
Based on these figures, what amount should appear in statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year?
I worked:
Because oil was used for the opening $8,200 that makes the increase in oil expense...
Unpaid $3,600 will be reverse that makes decrease in oil expense
Outstanding bill will be a accrual cost and make the increse in expense
Payments will debit in oil expense correspondenly to cash...etc
I dont understand heating oil cost was 9,300? Will it account for in oil expense make that account increase or decrese...can you help me?
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Accrual
The oil purchases during the year = 34,600 - 3,600 + 3,200.
When you have calculated how much oil was purchases, then the oil actually used during the year (and therefore the expense) = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory.
