TTP 103,890Problem,
Hello sir, i wanted to ask why we dont less 1210 from Bank interest receivable when calculating the Interest income?
As this is an accrual income relating to year end 2020, While these calculations are made for year end 2021.Kindly,
SukainaMarch 21, 2022 at 1:56 pm #651590This is actually an issue about interpreting the wording within the question – the question states the interest receivable “includes” the accrual at both the beginning and end of the accounting period- this means that the receivable figure given in the question has already correctly accounted for both the opening and the closing accrual – last year’s closing accrual has been reversed at the start of this period ie. the opening accrual has correctly already been deducted in getting the given figure of interest receivable.
