Hvad der er bagud i elregningen på hindi?
Arrears
Efterbetaling er en betaling, der foretages, efter at en tjenesteydelse er blevet leveret, til forskel fra forudbetaling, som er betalinger, der foretages i begyndelsen af en periode. F.eks. betales husleje normalt forud, men realkreditlån i restance (renterne for perioden forfalder ved periodens udløb). Ansattes lønninger betales normalt bagud. Ved betaling ved periodens udløb anvendes ental i ental til forskel fra forfaldne betalinger. F.eks. siger man, at en boliglejer, der er forpligtet til at betale husleje ved udgangen af hver måned, betaler husleje i restance, mens en lejer, der ikke har betalt den skyldige husleje i 30 dage, siger, at han er en måned i restance. Den præcise brug kan variere en smule (f.eks. "in arrear" eller "in arrears" for den samme situation) i forskellige engelsktalende lande.
Arrears
Payment in arrear is a payment made after a service has been provided, as distinct from in advance, which are payments made at the start of a period. For instance, rent is usually paid in advance, but mortgages in arrear (the interest for the period is due at the end of the period). Employees' salaries are usually paid in arrear. Payment at the end of a period is referred to by the singular arrear, to distinguish from past due payments. For example, a housing tenant who is obliged to pay rent at the end of each month, is said to pay rent in arrear, while a tenant who has not paid rental due for 30 days is said to be one month in arrears. Precise usage may differ slightly (e.g. "in arrear" or "in arrears" for the same situation) in different English-speaking countries.
