Please look at my answers to your other two questions and follow the same approach. Have you watched my free lectures on accrual and prepayments?

Hello sir But what is 2/3 *798 and 1/3 *866 Many thanks

798 is the bill for 3 months (Dec, Jan, and Feb). Only Jan and Feb are during the year to 31 December, which is 2 months. Therefore the expense for Jan and Feb is 2/3 x 798.
