Tutorial 9: Suggested solutions
Section A:
1. Accrued income is income/revenue earned/realised during the year, but
not yet received. Eg:- Commision for the year ended 31 Dec 2013 but
only received in Feb 2014. This should be included as year 2013
income and appear as a current asset in the SFP as at 31 Dec 2013.
Income in advance is income/revenue for following year that was not
yet earned/ realised during the year, but received in the current year.
Eg:- Rental income for Jan 2014 received in Dec 2013. This should be
excluded from year 2013 income and disclosed as a current liability in
th SFP as at 31 Dec 2013.
Accrued expenses are expenses incurred during the year but not yet
paid. Eg:- electicity bill for Dec 2013 that was only received and paid
in Jan 2014. This sgould be included as Dec 2013 expenses and
disclosed as a current liability in the SFP as at 31 Dec 2013.
Prepaid expenses are expenses for the following year paid in advance in
the current year. Eg :- Rental expense for Jan 2014 paid in Dec 2013.
This should be excluded from the 2013 expenses and disclosed as a
current asset in the SFP as at 31 Dec 2013.
2 (a) According to the Matching/Accruals Concept, the cost/expenses
incurred in an accounting period are matched with the revenue earned
in the same accounting period, regardless of the payment made or
revenue received. It should be stressed that only revenue and
cost/expenses that relate to that particular period should be matched. If
not, they should be excluded.
(b) Accrued income is income realised in this period but not yet
collected. It is an asset that is collectible within 12 months. Therefore,
it should be categorised under current asset in the SFP.
Income in advance is income for the following period but received in
this period. It is not yet realised. Therefore, it should be categorised as
current liability in the SFP.
3. RM1,800 covered Oct 2014 until Mar 2016 = 18 months
ie. RM100 per month
SPL = 12 months x RM100 = RM1,200
SFP = 3 months x RM100 = RM300 prepaid
