Calculation of Subscription to be shown in Income and Expenditure Account
Given:
- Subscription received in 2015 = 50000
- Subscription received for 2014 included = 3000
- Outstanding subscription as on 31st December 2015 = 2000
Calculation:
- Subscription received in 2015 = 50000
- Subscription received for 2014 included = 3000
- Subscription received in 2015 (excluding subscription received for 2014) = 50000 - 3000 = 47000
- Outstanding subscription as on 31st December 2015 = 2000
- Subscription earned for the year 2015 = Subscription received in 2015 (excluding subscription received for 2014) - Outstanding subscription as on 31st December 2015
= 47000 - 2000 = 45000
Therefore, the amount of subscription to be shown in the Income and Expenditure Account of the club for the year ended on 31st December 2015 is Rs. 45,000.
Explanation:
- Subscription is a major source of income for not-for-profit organizations like clubs, societies, etc.
- Subscription received in a year is considered as income for that year, irrespective of whether it is received in advance or in arrears.
- In this case, the subscription received for the year 2014 was also included in the subscription received in 2015. Hence, it needs to be excluded to arrive at the subscription received for the year 2015.
- Outstanding subscription as on 31st December 2015 is the subscription received for the year 2015, but not yet earned. Hence, it needs to be excluded to arrive at the subscription earned for the year 2015.
- The subscription earned for the year 2015 is considered as income for the year 2015 and needs to be shown in the Income and Expenditure Account of the club.
