    It would depend on what expenses were accrued at the BEGINNING of the year. If there were no expenses accrued at the beginning of the year than yes you are correct. If there were expenses accrued at the beginning of the year subtract that number from your 55K and that would be your expense because you would had already pick-up those expenses in a prior period.
