In point C.)
Three months insurance is paid on August 1. So for the complete month of August, expense is booked at the end of the month, i.e., 1/3 of 1,200 = $ 400.
And the balance is transferred to Advance expenses paid account, i.e., Advance Liability Insurance A/C
= 1200 – 400 = $ 800.
In point F.)
On August 7, 3 months of rental income is received.
So the rental income of August will be booked in August for 25 days (7th August to 31st August) in proportionate to 92 days (7th August to 6th November).
Rental income to be be booked = 25/92 of 475 = $ 129.
Balance rent received to transferred to advance rent received account = 475 – 129 = $ 346.
