can anyone please help.

Q. During its fiscal yr ended june30 yr1. Cliff City
issued purchase orders totaling $500k, which were
properly charged to encumbrances at that time. Cliff City
appropriations do not lapse. Cliff Received goods and
related invoices at the encumered amounts totaling $4500k
before yr end. The remaining foods of $500k were not
received until after year-end. Cliff paid $4200k of the
invoices received during the year. What amount of Cliff's
encumrances were ourtstaning at June30 Yr.1.

a. 0
b. $300k
c. $500k (correct Answer)
d. $800k

Shouldn't it be zero, because at year end we reverse
everything with the same amount.
Mean to say, at year end

Dr. Reserve for Encumbrances $500
    Cr Encumbrances          ;           ;      $500

The Rule is
Book BAE & Close BAE with the same amount.

Can anyone help me that why isn't 0 and why it is $500.
thanks
Faisy

The BAE refers to different things.
encumbrance is not an account that needs to be closed at
year end. it's reversed when there's expenditure
