A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/13/M/J/24

Explanation
Accrued rent for unpaid period post-31 March Steps:
- Opening 900 on 28 July settles this plus July rent (900/3 months).
- Second payment 300/month).
- From 1 April to 30 June, 3 months' rent incurred but unpaid.
- Accrual = 3 months × 900. Why C is correct:
- Per accrual accounting, expenses incurred but unpaid at period-end are recorded as liabilities; here, April-June rent matches this definition for $900. Why the others are wrong:
- A: Opening $600 ignores settlements and new unpaid periods.
- B: No prepaid asset exists; payments end before year-end.
- D: No overpayment beyond 30 June; post-March rent creates liability, not asset.
Final answer: C
