Cevap

The closing cash and bank balance is ₦ 102,000.
The correct closing balance of ₦ 102,000 is derived by summarizing all cash inflows (Opening balance of ₦ 45,000 + Subscriptions received of ₦ 120,000 + Life membership fees of ₦ 25,000 = ₦ 190,000) and deducting all cash outflows (Furniture purchase of ₦ 40,000 + Club rent of ₦ 30,000 + Office expenses of ₦ 18,000 = ₦ 88,000). Non-cash items such as depreciation (₦ 8,000) and accrued subscriptions (₦ 12,000) are excluded.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify all valid cash receipts (Debit side)
Total Receipts = Opening balance (₦ 45,000) + Subscriptions received (₦ 120,000) + Life membership fees (₦ 25,000) = ₦ 190,000
The Receipts and Payments Account includes all cash receipts (both capital and revenue).
2
Identify all valid cash payments (Credit side)
Total Payments = Purchase of furniture (₦ 40,000) + Club rent (₦ 30,000) + General office expenses (₦ 18,000) = ₦ 88,000
The Receipts and Payments Account records all cash payments regardless of expenditure type.
3
Identify and exclude non-cash or non-transaction items
Depreciation (₦ 8,000) and Subscriptions accrued (₦ 12,000) are excluded.
The Receipts and Payments Account operates strictly on a cash basis; non-cash items and accruals are omitted.
4
Calculate the closing balance
Closing Balance = Total Receipts (₦ 190,000) - Total Payments (₦ 88,000) = ₦ 102,000
Subtracting total cash payments from total cash receipts yields the ending cash/bank balance.
