    • Qtr 1, $5,000.
    • Qtr 2, $5,000.
Accruals Outstanding fields will total accruals as taken to date.
    • Qtr 3, $15,000 is paid into the account.
    • Need to reconcile accrued interest taken with accrued interest paid so that profit in Qtr. 3 is not overstated.
    • $10,000 of the $15,000 paid was applied to profit in the first two quarters.
    • Select 'Type' Accrued Interest Paid and enter a dated $ amount.
      • In this case, $10,000.

  • It is not necessary to apply all of the Accrued Interest taken to date in one Accrued Interest Paid entry.
  • If only a portion of the total accrued interest taken to date is paid in X period, enter the portion paid.
  • The balance remaining will appear @ Accruals Outstanding..
  • Apply all or a portion of the accrued taken when paid in the future.
