Could you explain the Interest accrual and Interest payable part. It is out of context but it is interesting to me how we will treat them in a T-account and find the charge for the SPl.
My other question is that - Interest= Interest paid - Interest Received.
What does Interest stand for here. Is it Interest expense in the SPL.. I have seen this in the study book, so it is really interesting to me. If we calculate according to the study book Interest= Interest paid-Interest received=20000-13000=7000. But if we make a T-account from the given question to you we find that SPL will show us 16300. Can you explain this question please?
3y ago#3Why do you want to write up t-accounts? You cannot be asked to produce t-accounts in the exam.
The entries for interest are the same as the normal entries for accruals and prepayments as explained in my free lectures.
In the Statement of Cash Flows it is the net of the interest actually paid and the interest actually received.
In the SOPL it is the interest expense and the interest receivable - not the cash actually paid and received.
