Everything below is computed in your browser by a JS port of acct_engine. Edit the answer and every screen recomputes — nothing here is scripted.
Same wording, different verdict — terms.py filters by pack_scope so a NZ/AU student is never marked against a Cambridge-only convention.

A signature error the engine can catch that a human marker often can't: shifting carriage inwards into carriage outwards moves gross profit but leaves profit for the year untouched. Pick what the student actually reported.

Numbers and presentation are scored on separate channels, so a correct calculation can still lose format, heading or terminology marks.

RULE
Charge the expense for the period used, not the amount paid. Add what is owing.
SEE IT
Rent paid22,000
Add rent owing2,000
Rent charged24,000
DO IT
Insurance paid 3,600 for the year. At the year end one month is unpaid. What is charged?
COMMON EXAM TRAP
Students deduct the amount owing instead of adding it. The direction is worth two marks in most papers.
MARK POINTS
A1One mark for the adjusted figure.
B1One mark for showing the accrual as a current liability.
