Rent 200| Rent 200
Rent 150|
350 350
350 - 200 to the trial balance?

please

please can someone answer this , i am begging with my life please please please

The way that I understand this to record those entries it would be....
Dr rent expense 200
Cr rent payable 200

Your total rent expense for 2013 would be 1350. 200 of the 1400 being for 2012 and 150 more 2013 that won't be paid till 2014.

If that whole year was one entry it'd be
Dr rent expense 1350
Cr cash 1350

The last entry being
Dr rent expense 150
Cr rent expense 150

You can take those and put them into T accounts I can't exactly draw T accounts on my phone. Hopefully someone else can confirm if this is right or wrong

>>992192
Cr rent payable not rent expense. Little typo there

i dont understand why you credit rent payable for both of them? 200 is being paid off but you credited it? and 150 is being owed, but you still credit it?

>>992196
incurred would've been a better word than owed

>>992196
The rent payable it to recognize your expense in 2012 even tho you aren't paying it. So in January of 2013 you would dr payable cr cash when you actually pay Decembers rent. The last payable is to recognize that rent for 2013 that won't be paid till 2014

>>992196
who owes who.... what part of the business are you? are you the one that is to receive the accrued rent? or do you owe the rent?

>>992207
They said rent paid out earlier so I figured they were the ones who owed rent and rent wasn't owed to them

Shortest way:
Dr. Rent expense 1350
Dr. Rent accrual 50
Cr. Cash 1400

T accounts are hard on phone, maybe helps to think about it from cash flow perspective. I.e. You start the year owning 200 and end the year owing 150, so you owe 50 less. But you also paid cash of 1400, so 50 of that was to reduce what you owe year over year, meaning the remaining 1350 is current expense.

Owe rent

is this right? i feel like its horribly wrong

>>992213
ok, then i believe this is the way>>992211


i wasn't sure what side of the relationship you were accounting for, that changes your Dr and Cr

>>992211
Those numbers are right but assuming they are on a calendar year could you lump it together like that? I thought it would have to be broken out since there are multiple accounting periods.

>>992217
pls

>>992219
Yes, likely annual, especially if this is a question for a classroom.

In real world, would depend on needs, most companies run monthly books, but often quarterly is the first frequency that really matters.

Unless told otherwise, I would keep it simple and just show the annual impact. Simple and annual is only thing you can say with certainty since no other sub-annual in for was given (I.e. If we made these entries monthly, we would have to first start making up facts such as the rent was the same every month - we don't actually know that with the info given).

Annual, simple and accurate would be my approach.

>>992217
pls

>>992230
Should note caution in taking some advise from me since it can be tricky that I sounds like I know what I'm talking about, mainly since I normally do. 'm a CPA, sr manager in audit with a big 4 firm with lots of experience especially in the kind of accounting most companies do

...offsetting that is I'm a little drunk and my attention span for this thread is limited to the it takes to load locations fallout 4 when fast traveling from one place to another. So pros and cons and a disclaimer for that

>>992217
fuck is my writing invisible? can someone check this and tell me why its wrong?

>>992217
It looks off. You'll need 3 accounts, rent, payable and cash. Take the amounts in your op to put into the starting/ending he T accounts. Then, just add the 3 lines from the entry I posted into it. It should balance and work

>>992245
What is your end goal here? Just to record those transactions in T accounts?

>>992250
and take it to trial balance
my trial balance is not balancing so im trying to correct each and every thing, and im stuck on this for now

i need the rent t account, and accrual figure for trial balance

>>992253
Your rent expense is 1350 and accrual is 50. The other poster is correct those numbers should balance

>>992249
Is this what you're trying to do? I'm confused on where you're going. Roiling the rent accrual is the 50 given. Paid is 1400, so net exp is 1350

>>992242
You mind if I ask which one? My brother in law was at EY I always contemplated going the big 4 route

i really appreciate the help
if i give you guys another will you still help me?

>>992258
KPMG. They're all the 95% the same really. It's recruiting folks and egos that say differently.

Like KPMG says they'real biggest in financial services globally, PWC says well they're the largest overall, etc. they actual job is overwhelmingly the same, repeated story from those folks that jump from one firm to another.

My advice is get some interviews, see availability in city locations or industry you're interested, then go with your gut to join the group of people you seem like you'd want to spend long, sometimes very long, days with. They're all great and terrible pretty similarly.

>>992261
One way to find out, give it a shot. I'm heading off soon though

>>992256
wait hang on im so confused, how can the accrual figure be 50 when he owes 150?

>>992267
a bill for rent for 31 December 2012 was expected to be £225.

ben has given you the following figure from his bank account for the year ending 31 December 2013: rent £1,430

as at 31 december 2013, ben is expecting a power bill for £198.

produce a t account for rent showing the figure for the income statement

i will love you for ever if you can do this

>>992268
50 is the change. It was 200, now 150. You started the year owning 200, paid $, now owe 150. If it makes it easier, add the fact that your annual rent is 1350.

So, you start the year owning 200. You paid 1350 annual rent. then another 50 on that 200 you owe, so now you only owe 150

>>992270
But can we trust Ben?

Hang on a sec, the drinks are catching up with me, but back in a min to see what's what

>>992270
The power bill should be kept separate from rent so that shouldn't have an effect on the rent expense. If he paid 1430 for the year 225 should have been for the prior year so it would be 1205.

>>992270
Ok, I'm back, it's a goofy written problem. Not sure if us to Brit language or what.

I assume rent from the bank accounts means rent payments. What I'm unsure on is the beginning liability for rent and the ending liability for power bill are supposed to be the same account or not. Thoughts?

>>992279
fuck fuck fuck that was mean to be rent not power, i just changed the account name so less chance of getting caught lol

>>992279
Yes, this. I'm with EY on this one. Forget my post with ques, read this one.

>>992280
It's very goofy. Over here I can only assume we would keep those separate. I don't know if it's in there to throw him off or if it's suppose to be in with rent expense and not a utility expense.

>>992280
sorry bro
in american it would be
rent payable 31 dec 2012 225, rent payable 31 dec 2013 198

>>992285
Ok so you back out the 225 and increase 198 for a rent expense number of 1403

>>992281
Ok, no, this is what you want then.

>>992286
i got that 1403
but for the accrual (payable) would it be 198 because thats whats owed or the difference between 225 and 198?

>>992288
Sorry upside down. Also assume the NYIF does not endorse this posting...just an envelope by me

>>992292
The difference. Check out >>992288

well thank you both i think ive learn alot and with your help im going to pass,
thank you so so much
better go to sleep, 3:35 am, got a test at 9 am

>>992286
Yes.
>>992292
198 is what's owed. Add in the fact that your rent is 1403. The extra 27 you paid was put towards that debt of 225 so now you only owe 198. Makes it easier to understand if you break it up

>>992299
Good luck
.>>992297
I'm out also. Honestly if you have any desire, head big 4, it's tough but the experience and, more importantly, resume value is huge. Good luck also

>>992306
Appreciate the advice man thanks.

>>992301
I didn't catch it, what figure for the trial balance? 198 or 27?

>>992301
dude i think american accounting is different to uk? the debt didnt go down by 27
he completely pays off the 225 with the 1430, and then his bill comes for december of 198 but he accrues it to pay in january.

>>992731
Nope, this isn't an ifrs vs usgaap thing, just simplifying an example to help understanding.
