£250,500. Accruals increase expenses (Dr) and liabilities (Cr), adding £500 to both trial balance column totals. Prepayments increase assets (Dr) and decrease expenses (Cr Expense -> Dr decrease, effectively shifting Dr balance from Expense to Asset). Prepayments do not change the total Dr or Cr value, only the classification. New total: $$$250{,}000 + 500 = 250{,}500$$$.
