February 3, 2019 at 6:02 pm #504052You take the total paid during the year (11,650), subtract what was owing at the start of the year (2,000) because that was paid this year but is not this years expense, and add what is going at the end of the year (1,800) because that is this years expense even though it has not yet been paid.
I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on this. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
