Receipts in non-profit accounting are classified as capital receipts or revenue receipts depending on donor stipulations and organization policy. Endowment legacies and specific-purpose donations are capital receipts recorded in the Statement of Financial Position under dedicated funds. Entrance fees split according to policy must be apportioned between Capital Fund and Income and Expenditure Account. Unrestricted legacies are recognized as revenue income in the Income and Expenditure Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the nature of each receipt regarding donor restrictions and constitutional rules.
Identified capital mandates for the endowment legacy and building donation, a fractional rule for entrance fees, and no restrictions for the general legacy.
Proper accounting treatment depends on whether a receipt is capital or revenue in nature.
2
Determine accounting treatment for Endowment Legacy and Specific Donation.
Endowment legacy goes to Endowment Fund in Statement of Financial Position; Specific laboratory donation goes to Special Purpose Building Reserve.
Capital receipts intended for long-term fund preservation or specific asset creation cannot be recognized as current operational revenue.
3
Apportion entrance fees according to the 75% capitalization rule.
75% is capitalized to Capital Fund in Statement of Financial Position and 25% is credited to Income and Expenditure Account.
Where non-profit bye-laws dictate explicit split percentages, entrance fees must be divided between capital reserves and revenue income.
4
Classify the general un-earmarked legacy.
Recognized in full as revenue income in the Income and Expenditure Account.
Unrestricted legacies without specific capital stipulations or policy constraints are treated as revenue income in the period received.
