  7. Your mobile phone bill shows that you have not settled last month’s amount. This month mobile phone bill shows an outstanding amount of $100 and the current amount of $80. Hence this outstanding amount of $100 is also known as accrued expense.

  8. Balance Day Adjustments - Accrued Expenses Phua CK is pretending to be calm but actually is very confused. He should have paid $12 000 for the rent for the period from January to December 2000. Scenario 1 However, at the end of the period, he only paid $5 000 to Tan Ah Teck Pte Ltd due to negligence. He still owes the company $7 000. He does not know the correct entries to reflect this!

  9. Let us help him. End of accounting period – December 2000 Should have paid : $ 12 000 Paid only : $ 5 000 Owed : $ 7 000 This owing amount of $7 000 is also known as Accrued Rent Expense. Mr. Phua CK still owes Tan Ah Teck Ltd $7 000 that was not paid for the year of 2000.

  11. Balance Day Adjustments - Accrued Expenses What is the nature of accrued expense? Debit or Credit entry? Yes…. Credit entry because it is a liability (still owe people $)

  12. Using Phua CK as an example.

  17. Singtel has a promotion for new subscribers. If you paid the 6 months of mobile-phone monthly subscription upfront NOW, you get a free Nokia 8250.

  18. Assuming that the monthly subscription is $20. You like the promotion and paid $1 200 (6x$20) immediately in order to get the new mobile phone. Hence you are paying in advance for the expense. The payment in advance of subscription fees ($1 200) is also known as Prepaid Expense.
