    Hello

    Could you please help me to understand the below question? Unfortunately I am not able to understand it even with the answer.
    The Electricity account for the year ended 30 april 2005 was as follows:
    Electricity accrued at 1 May 2004.
    Payment made during the year in relation to

    Quarter ending 30 June 2014 400
    Quarter ending 30 Sept 2004 350
    Quarter ending 31 December 2004 425
    Quarter ending 31 March 2005 450

    Which of the following is the appropriate entry for electricity?

    Accred at 30 april 2005 150
    Charge to income statement for year ended 30 april 2005 1525

    below the Electricity T account

    DR Bank 400 CR Balance B/F 250
    DR bank 350 Income statemnet 1525
    dr bank 425
    dr bank 450
    balance C/F 150

    1775 1775

    No problem with the Balance B/F of 250 as accrual from 2004, but I canno figure out where Balance C/F of 150 come from

    Unfortunately the book does not provide any calculation.

    Thanks a million

    They have only paid rent up to 31 March, so at 30 April they owe for one month.
    The latest 3 months to March cost 450, so estimate for one month is 450/3 = 150

    Thanks a lot.
    Now it makes sense to me as well.
