Solution

The insurance premium covers a 12-month period from 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016. The financial year ends on 30 June 2015, which is 3 months into the insurance coverage period. Therefore, the remaining 9 months of the premium, from 1 July 2015 to 31 March 2016, will be recognised as an asset for the year ended 30 June 2015.

To calculate the amount of the premium that will be recognised as an asset, you need to divide the total premium by the number of months it covers, and then multiply by the number of months that fall into the next financial year:

(16,000/12months)9months=16,000 / 12 months) * 9 months = 12,000

So, $12,000 of the premium will be recognised as an asset for the year ended 30 June 2015.

Based on the following information relating to Matt’s Constructions, identify (in words) what adjustment is required at 30 June, the end of the accounting period. The first one has been answered to provide an example. (a) Matt paid $12,000 on 1 May 2024, for a 12-month insurance policy, recording it as Prepaid Insurance. Two months of the insurance policy have been incurred, so $2,000 needs to come out of the Prepaid Insurance (asset) account and into Insurance Expense to show that some of the expense that was prepaid is no longer an asset. (b) Matt employs a casual labourer when the business is particularly busy. The labourer worked in the last week of June 2024 and is owed $1,800. This has not been recorded.
