    ACCA · Question 62 · Interpretation of Financial Statements

    Section B - Case 2: Single Entity Accounts

    Scenario: AquaHarvest Marine Farms
    AquaHarvest prepares its financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X6.
    Draft Revenue: $500,000
    Draft Cost of Sales: $300,000
    Draft Current Assets: $60,000
    Draft Current Liabilities: $40,000
    Issue 1: A payment for marine insurance of $6,000 for the year ending 31 December 20X6 was recorded entirely as an expense in the P&L. (Prepayment is $1,500).

    What is the impact of adjusting for the insurance prepayment on the current ratio?

    Answer options:

    A.

    It will increase the current ratio.

    B.

    It will decrease the current ratio.

    C.

    It will have no effect on the current ratio.

    D.

    It will decrease current liabilities.

    How to approach this question

    Determine what a prepayment is (a current asset). If current assets increase while current liabilities stay the same, the ratio (Assets/Liabilities) must increase.

    Full Answer

    A.It will increase the current ratio.✓ Correct
    Recognizing a prepayment creates a new current asset of $1,500. This increases total Current Assets from $60,000 to $61,500. Since Current Liabilities remain unchanged, the current ratio will increase (from 1.5 to 1.5375).

    Common mistakes

    Thinking a prepayment is a liability.
