Example: In our case we model land lease costs in the amount of 5% of sales. The payment day is the start of the production of the first production unit (10.2018).
Graphically the pre payment looks like this:
Cashflow: The payment is made on 30.09.2018
Profit & loss: In the profit & loss statement the expenses are distributed over the lifetime (compare Start and End date) of the Opex position (5% of the revenue in each case).
Balancesheet: In the balance-sheet, the payment is activated on the prepayment account and is continuously reduced by the amount of expenses.
