Question
Rent accrued as at the end of the last year was Rs 8,000. Having agreed to pay rent at Rs 4,000 per month, the business was able to pay during the year only Rs 44,000. What is the position at the current year-end?
Solution
To calculate the position at the current year-end, we need to consider both the accrued rent from last year and the rent paid this year.
-
Start with the accrued rent from last year, which is Rs 8,000.
-
Calculate the total rent that should have been paid this year. Since the agreed monthly rent is Rs 4,000, and there are 12 months in a year, the total rent for the year should be Rs 4,000 * 12 = Rs 48,000.
-
Subtract the amount of rent that was actually paid this year from the total rent that should have been paid. Rs 48,000 - Rs 44,000 = Rs 4,000. This is the amount of rent that was not paid this year.
-
Add the unpaid rent from this year to the accrued rent from last year to find the total accrued rent at the end of the current year. Rs 8,000 + Rs 4,000 = Rs 12,000.
So, the position at the current year-end is that there is Rs 12,000 of accrued rent.
