Answer Details

Preliminary note. A Receipts and Payments account is a summary of cash and bank movements. It mixes capital items (equipment, furniture, deposit transfers) with revenue items, and it ignores accruals and non-cash charges such as depreciation. To produce non-profit final accounts we must (i) find the opening Accumulated Fund through a Statement of Affairs, (ii) convert subscriptions received into subscriptions earned, and (iii) adjust each revenue expense for outstanding amounts and add depreciation.

(a) Statement of Affairs as at 31st December 2013

This statement lists what the club owned and owed at the start of the year. The balancing figure is the Accumulated Fund (the club's capital).

Cash at bank1,000

Accumulated Fund7,800

The Accumulated Fund at 1st January 2014 is therefore N7,800.

(b) Subscription Account for the year ended 31st December 2014

Cash received during the year was N7,500 (2013 arrears N1,200 + 2014 N4,000 + 2015 advance N2,300). We adjust for arrears at each year end (an asset, owed by members) and advances (a liability, paid ahead). The transfer to Income and Expenditure is the balancing figure, being the subscription earned in 2014.

Subscription earned and transferred to Income and Expenditure = N6,100.

(c) Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31st December 2014

Capital items (purchase of equipment N1,800, purchase of furniture N3,000, transfer from deposit account N3,000) are excluded. Each expense is raised to the amount incurred by adding the outstanding balance, and depreciation is charged.
