Question : How much amount is recorded in Income and Expenditure A/c if there are 800 members, each paying an annual subscription of Rs.120? Subscriptions received during the year Rs. 54,000; Subscription received in advance at the beginning of the year Rs.1,000.
Option 1: Rs. 96,000
Option 2: Rs. 54,000
Option 3: Rs. 97,000
Option 4: Rs. 95,000
Correct Answer: Rs. 96,000
Solution :
An organization's complete accounting of all its receipts and outlays for a given fiscal year is known as an income and expense account. This account, which is prepared on an accrual basis, captures all income and outlays for a specific year, whether they are clear or not.
Amount credited to Income and Expenditure A/c = Annual subscription X Number of members = Rs.120 X 800 = Rs.96,000.
Only the amount of subscription which is related to the current year will be credited in the Income and Expenditure A/c.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
