    We are asked for the expense for the year from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009.

    Given that the payment in June 2008 (which was before our year started) covered June, July and August 2008 then the first two months of our year (July and August) had been prepaid. Since the amount paid for 3 months was $120, the prepayment for 2 months was 2/3 x 120.

    Similarly, as at 30 June 2009 they had already paid $165 for June, July and August. July and August are not in our year and therefore there is a prepayment at the end of the year of 2/3 x 165 = $110.

    So the total expense for our year is the opening prepayment of 80 plus the cash paid during the year of 630 (150 + 150 + 165 + 165) less the closing prepayment of 110. A total expense in the SOPL of $600.

    Have you watched my free lectures on accruals and prepayments? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper FA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
