Effect of prepayment on net profit
10y ago#1A prepayment says that some of the payment is in respect of the next year. Therefore that would increase this year's profits.
If you make more profit capital must be higher (ie think of the prepayment as an asset).
Answer A is correct.
Thank you.
its help a lot thanks
