Cevap

₦30,000
The correct closing cash balance of ₦30,000 is determined by summing all cash inflows (opening cash balance of ₦15,000 + subscriptions received of ₦50,000 + life membership fees of ₦20,000 = ₦85,000) and deducting all cash outflows (salaries paid of ₦30,000 + purchase of furniture of ₦25,000 = ₦55,000). Non-cash transactions such as depreciation (₦5,000) are strictly excluded from the Receipts and Payments Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify all cash receipts and opening cash balance
Total Receipts = Opening Cash (₦15,000) + Subscriptions (₦50,000) + Life Membership Fees (₦20,000) = ₦85,000
The Receipts and Payments Account includes all cash inflows (both revenue and capital) plus the opening balance.
2
Identify all cash payments
Total Payments = Salaries Paid (₦30,000) + Purchase of Furniture (₦25,000) = ₦55,000
All cash outflows, whether capital expenditures or revenue expenses, must be credited to the Receipts and Payments Account. Non-cash expenses such as depreciation are ignored.
3
Calculate closing cash balance
Closing Balance = Total Receipts (₦85,000) - Total Payments (₦55,000) = ₦30,000
The balance of the Receipts and Payments Account represents the remaining cash balance at the end of the period.
