How to calculate expired and unexpired prepaid insurance at the end of a year?

In case of some expense u might have seen advance payment is done. So as to comply with the terms of agreement or it can befor any other reason too.And this advance is shown in the asset side of balance sheet.Now,in case of insurance the same thing is happening.For example:- a ltd. F.y begins from 1-4-10 to 31-3-11. A ltd. Purchases a fixed asset on 1-2-11. Now a ltd. Wants to get this fixed asset insured and minimum insurance period as per the insurance policy is 1 year. So here the insurance period willbegin from 1-2-11 to 28-2-12.As per accrual basis of accounting expenses which pretain to a particular year are are to be shown in the p/l of that year. And rest are shown as prepaid expense (in case of insurance termed as , unexpired insurance)now coming back to a ltd. Let us suppose that payment made is = rs. 12000.Calculation of expired and unexpired expense.Total insurance expense paid = 12000insurance expense of single = 12000/12monthexpired insurance = 1000*2 (for the month of feb and march 2011)and rest of the amount is unexpired insurance because the period to which it pertains is of next f.y. Hence in the b/s of 10-11 insurance amount of rs 10000 will be shown as unexpired insurance.And yes one thing more. There is no such term as unexpired prepaid insurance. Either u call it prepaid insurance or unexpired insurance.Hope i solved ur query.

What is the difference between cost and expense?

The difference between a cost and an expense lies on the matter of distinguishing and separately recognizing the used, utilized and expired portion of the cost, being that part is what we called an expense. An expense can also be described as a cost forgone since it is already been utilized and used. The expense is also recognized only in the income statement rather than in the balance sheet since utilization is recognized for a certain period of time. On the other hand, an unused or an unexpired cost is reported in the balance sheet as at a certain point of time. A costmight be an expense or it might be an asset. An expense is a cost that has expired or was necessary in order to earn revenues.
