    ACCA · Question 65 · The Use of Double-Entry and Accounting Systems

    Section B - Case 2

    Scenario: EcoBuild Ltd is preparing financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X6. Draft profit before tax is $450,000. Adjustments required:

    1. A machine costing $120,000 bought on 1 April 20X6 was incorrectly expensed in full. Depreciation is 20% straight-line (pro-rata).
    2. Closing inventory was undervalued by $15,000.
    3. An allowance for receivables of $8,000 needs to be created.
    4. Rent of $12,000 paid for the quarter ending 30 November 20X6 was fully expensed.

    What is the correct double-entry to record the prepaid rent adjustment at year-end?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Debit Rent Expense $8,000; Credit Prepayments $8,000

    B.

    Debit Prepayments $8,000; Credit Rent Expense $8,000

    C.

    Debit Prepayments $12,000; Credit Rent Expense $12,000

    D.

    Debit Rent Expense $4,000; Credit Bank $4,000

    How to approach this question

    Identify the asset: Prepayments (Debit). Identify the account to reduce: Rent Expense (Credit). Amount is $8,000.

    Full Answer

    B.Debit Prepayments $8,000; Credit Rent Expense $8,000✓ Correct
    Since the full $12,000 was already debited to Rent Expense, an adjustment is needed to remove the $8,000 relating to the next year. This is done by crediting the Rent Expense account (reducing the expense) and debiting the Prepayments account (creating a current asset).

    Common mistakes

    Reversing the debit and credit, or using the full $12,000 amount.
