      A Yes, because the payment is made during the same year Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B No, the entire amount should be capitalised Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C No, because ₹18,000 should be carried forward as prepaid expense Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Yes, because the matching principle is not applicable Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Matching principle requires expenses to be recognised in the period they relate to. ₹18,000 is for April–Dec 2025 and should be treated as prepaid.
