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?

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.
