sir in the above question please explain the fulll question and what you meant by COVERING THE YEAR ENDING 31AUGUST 2003 and COVERING THE SIX MONTHS TO 31 DEC 2002 ?
Thank you !!!
“Covering the year ended 31 August 2003” is standard terminology in the exam, and means that the insurance payment is for the period 1 September 2002 to 31 August 2003.
Similarly, “covering the six months to 31 December 2002” means the receipt is for the period 1 July 2002 to 31 December 2002.
You should now find the question very straight-forward (and you can of course check your answer with the answer in the Course Notes).
