Dear Tutor, Details of a company insurance policy are shown below: 1. Premium for year ended 31 march 20x6 paid April 20x5 - $10800 2. Premium for year ending 31 March 20X7 paid April 20X6 - $12000 What figures should be included in the compnay financial statements for the year ended 30 June 20X6? - I have able to solve the SOFP (Prepayment) as from 30 June 20X6 - 31 March 20X7 12000X8/12 = 9000 But little bit confuse about the figures going on statement of P/L for the year ended 30 June 20X6. Please need your professional help. Thanks

From 1 July X5 to 31 March X6 is 9 months and so 9/12 x 10,800. From 1 April X6 to 30 June X6 is 3 months, and so 3/12 x 12,000. Add the two together and you have the total expense for the year ended 30 June X6.
