Sir pls help me with this
The annual insurance premium for S for the period 1 July 20X3 to 30 June 20X9 is $13200
Which is 10% more than the previous year. Insurance premiums are paid on 1 July.
What is the charge of Profit or loss for insurance for the year ended 31 December 20X3.
My working was
13200 × 90%= 11800
11800× 6/12 = 5940
13200 × 6/12 = 6600
So charge for the year - 12540, but in the kaplan answer it was 12600?
Ask the Tutor ACCA FA
Accurals and prepayment
10y ago#110% more than 11800 does not come to 13200 !!
The current premium is 13200, and so the previous premium was 100/110 x 13200 = 12000
So the expense in the SOPL is (6/12 x 12000) + (6/12 x 13200) = 12,600
Sorry sir, I don't still get it
10y ago#3The question says that this years premium is 10% more than the previous year.
So the previous year was 12,000. If you add 10% of 12,000 then you get 13,200.
