Cevap

Honorarium paid is debited to Income & Expenditure as a revenue expense; gain on sale of equipment is credited to Income & Expenditure as revenue income; special donation for building is capitalized directly to a specific fund on the Balance Sheet; subscriptions collected in advance are recorded as a current liability on the Balance Sheet.
Each item is matched according to standard double-entry principles for non-profit entities: recurring operational payments (honorarium) are debited to Income & Expenditure; net gain on fixed asset disposal is credited to Income & Expenditure; purpose-specific capital receipts (building donation) are capitalized to specific funds on the Balance Sheet; and unearned subscription income is carried forward as a current liability on the Balance Sheet.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze operational vs. capital nature of cash transactions for non-profit entities.
Categorize honorarium as revenue expense, profit on asset sale as revenue gain, building donation as specific capital receipt, and advance subscriptions as unearned revenue.
The Income and Expenditure Account only includes operational (revenue) items belonging strictly to the current accounting period on an accrual basis.
2
Determine accounting entries for revenue items affecting operational performance.
Debiting the honorarium payment to Income & Expenditure and crediting the gain on equipment sale to Income & Expenditure.
Operational expenses reduce net surplus, whereas net gains on equipment disposal enhance income for the period.
3
Determine accounting entries for capital receipts and deferred revenues.
Adding the special building donation directly to a Capital/Building Fund on the Balance Sheet, and recognizing subscriptions in advance as a current liability.
Capital receipts earmarked for specific assets are non-revenue, while prepaid subscriptions represent an obligation to provide benefits in future periods.
