    Question?
    Rent paid on 1 October 20×2 for the year to 30 September 20×3 was $12 000, and rent paid on 1 October 20×3 for the year to 30 September 20×4 was $16 000.
    What figure for rent expense should be shown in the income statement for the year ended 31 Dex ember 20×3?
    A. $12,000
    B. $16,000
    C. $13,000
    D. $15,000
    I am having problems understanding from what period does accrual and prepayment begin in relation to the question above.

    Match on a time basis to the period of the income statement. We want the rent for the 12 months to 31 Dec 20×3

    That is composed of:

    9 months 1/1 – 30/9 X3 and
    3 months 1/10 – 31/12 X3

    So 12,000 x 9/12 + 16,000 x 3/12 = 13,000
