Hi guys
I need help with the following scenario:
Regulatory fees 2012 – For the period 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012: USD 118 (Paid on 30 November 2011)
Regulatory fees 2013 – For the period 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013: USD 200 (Paid on 30 November 2012)
Accounting period runs from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013.
How much goes in my income statement (prepared under accruals basis) for the year ended 30 June 2013, and why?
Thanks!
P&L = (6/12*118) + (6/12*200) = 59+100 = 159
only 6 months of each years dues relate to the period in question since july 2012 to december 2012 = 6 months and january 2013 to june 2013 = 6 months. It is called apportionment and isimportant under accruals accounting.
