As at 30 April 2012, we had prepaid the period from 1 May to 31 October 2012 (6 months). The prepayment at the end of the year is therefore 6/12 x 2100 = $1,050.
So the expense for our year is 800 (the amount paid last year in respect of this year) + 2100 (the cash paid this year) – 1050 (the amount included in this years payment that is in respect of next year). The total equals $1850.
