    At 1 July 20X4 a company had prepaid insurance of $8,200. On 1 January 20X5 the company paid $38,000 for insurance for the year to 30 September 20X5.

    What figures should appear for insurance in the company’s financial statements for the year ended 30 June 20X5?

    A
    Statement of Profit or Loss – $27,000

    Statement of Financial Position — Prepayment $19,000

    B
    SOPL – $39,300

    SOFP — Prepayment $9,500

    C
    SOPL — $36,700

    SOFP — Prepayment $9,500

    D
    SOPL – $55,700

    SOFP — Prepayment $9,500

    The correct answer is:

    Statement of Profit or Loss. $36,700

    Statement of Financial Position. Prepayment $9,500

    Why is the prepayment 9.5k? Surely it would be 38,000/3? I don’t understand how to get this number. Thanks!

    The year end is 30 June and so the amount prepaid is for July, August, September i.e 3 months.

    The payment of $38,000 is for 12 months, and so the prepayment is 3/12 x 38,000 =$9,500
