Cevap

Accumulated Fund matches with 'Equivalent to owner's capital, representing the net assets of the organization'; Income and Expenditure Account matches with 'Prepared on an accrual basis to measure operational surplus or deficit'; Receipts and Payments Account matches with 'A summary cash account recording all cash inflows and outflows regardless of period'; Subscriptions matches with 'Regular recurring membership fees serving as the main source of operational revenue'.
Each item accurately pairs the non-profit financial component with its primary feature: Accumulated Fund represents net asset capital, Income and Expenditure Account measures accrual-based surplus/deficit, Receipts and Payments Account summarizes cash activity, and Subscriptions provide recurring membership revenue.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of equity in non-profit organizations
Accumulated Fund is identified as total assets minus total liabilities, taking the place of Capital in profit-making entities.
Non-profit organizations do not have owners or share capital, so equity is retained as accumulated surplus.
2
Analyze the financial statements used by non-profit organizations
The Income and Expenditure Account uses accrual concepts to derive surplus/deficit, while the Receipts and Payments Account is a pure cash summary.
Distinguishing between cash-basis summaries and accrual-basis performance accounting is essential for financial reporting.
3
Determine the role of member contributions
Subscriptions represent recurring revenue receipts from members.
Subscriptions fund day-to-day operations and are recorded in the Income and Expenditure Account after adjusting for prepaid/accrued balances.

Cevap

Life membership fees received in cash are recorded on the receipts side regardless of period; depreciation on equipment is excluded as a non-cash expense; unpaid subscriptions due are excluded because no cash was received; payment for new furniture is recorded on the payments side as a capital cash expenditure.
The Receipts and Payments Account is a summarized Cash Book. It includes all actual cash inflows and outflows (capital or revenue, for past, present, or future periods) while strictly excluding non-cash transactions (like depreciation) and accruals (like outstanding subscriptions).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the fundamental principle governing the Receipts and Payments Account
The Receipts and Payments Account is a summarized Cash Book operating strictly on a cash basis, recording all cash inflows (debit) and cash outflows (credit) regardless of accounting period or capital/revenue classification.
Understanding the cash-basis nature determines which items belong in the account.
2
Analyze life membership fees received in cash and furniture payment made by cheque
Life membership fees involve actual cash receipt (record on Receipts side); payment for furniture involves actual cash payment via bank (record on Payments side). Both are included despite being capital transactions.
The Receipts and Payments Account does not distinguish between capital and revenue transactions as long as actual cash/bank flows occur.
3
Analyze depreciation and unpaid subscriptions due
Depreciation is a non-cash charge, and unpaid subscriptions are accrued income with no cash movement. Both items are excluded from the Receipts and Payments Account.
Non-cash items and accruals/prepayments are excluded because the account is not prepared on an accrual basis.

During the financial year ended 31st December 2025, Horizon Professionals Club received ₦450,000 in cash as subscription fees from its members. This total included ₦40,000 for subscriptions in arrears from 2024 and ₦30,000 for subscriptions paid in advance for 2026. Subscriptions owing by members for 2025 at the end of the year amounted to ₦50,000. What is the total amount to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account as subscription income for 2025?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ₦430,000

Cevap

The total amount to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account as subscription income for 2025 is ₦430,000.
The Income and Expenditure Account recognizes revenue on an accrual basis. Starting from cash received of ₦450,000, subtracting prior year arrears of ₦40,000 and prepaid subscriptions of ₦30,000 leaves ₦380,000 cash earned for 2025. Adding the ₦50,000 currently owing yields ₦430,000 earned subscription income for 2025.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify cash received during the current year
Cash received = ₦450,000
This is the baseline starting figure extracted from the Receipts and Payments Account.
2
Deduct receipts belonging to other financial periods
Adjusted Cash = ₦450,000 - ₦40,000 (2024 arrears) - ₦30,000 (2026 advance) = ₦380,000
Under accrual accounting principles, revenue belonging to prior or future periods must be excluded from the current year's income.
3
Add income earned in the current year but not yet received in cash
Total Subscription Income = ₦380,000 + ₦50,000 (2025 arrears) = ₦430,000
Subscriptions in arrears for the current year represent earned revenue and must be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.

Cevap: 855000

Cevap

The amount to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account as subscription income for the year ended 31st December 2025 is 855,000855,000.
The Income and Expenditure Account operates on the accrual concept, taking into account income earned for the specific financial year regardless of cash timing. Calculating current subscription income requires adding opening prepaid subscriptions (40,00040,000) and closing accrued subscriptions (75,00075,000) to cash received (850,000850,000), while subtracting opening accrued subscriptions (60,00060,000) and closing prepaid subscriptions (50,00050,000), yielding 855,000855,000.

What amount (in Naira) should be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account as subscription income for the year ended 31 December 2025?

Cevap: 250000

Cevap

The amount credited to the Income and Expenditure Account as subscription income for the year ended 31 December 2025 is N250,000\text{N}250,000.
Under accrual accounting principles for non-profit entities, subscription income recognized in the Income and Expenditure Account represents the total revenue earned for that specific financial year. Starting with cash received of N240,000\text{N}240,000, we subtract opening arrears of N25,000\text{N}25,000 (income from prior year), add opening advance of N18,000\text{N}18,000 (income prepaid for current year), add closing arrears of N32,000\text{N}32,000 (earned but unpaid current income), and subtract closing advance of N15,000\text{N}15,000 (income prepaid for next year). This yields N250,000\text{N}250,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Record total subscription cash received during the financial year.
Cash received = N240,000\text{N}240,000
This forms the base figure for calculating the earned subscription income under accrual accounting.
2
Adjust for opening balances (1 January 2025).
Deduct opening arrears (N25,000\text{N}25,000) and add opening advance (N18,000\text{N}18,000).
Subscriptions in arrears at the start belong to the prior period, while subscriptions in advance at the start were paid for the current period.
3
Adjust for closing balances (31 December 2025).
Add closing arrears (N32,000\text{N}32,000) and deduct closing advance (N15,000\text{N}15,000).
Closing arrears represent current period income earned but uncollected, whereas closing advances represent money received for the next financial year.
4
Compute the net subscription income.
N240,000−N25,000+N18,000+N32,000−N15,000=N250,000\text{N}240,000 - \text{N}25,000 + \text{N}18,000 + \text{N}32,000 - \text{N}15,000 = \text{N}250,000
The final adjusted figure reflects the total subscription revenue applicable strictly to the current accounting year.

What is the net surplus (in Naira) to be reported in the Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31st December 2025?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 235000

Cevap

The net surplus to be reported in the Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31st December 2025 is ₦235,000.
The correct net surplus of ₦235,000 is derived by calculating total revenue earned minus total revenue expenses incurred during the year. Subscription Income earned equals ₦640,000 + ₦35,000 (opening advance) - ₦50,000 (opening accrual) + ₦65,000 (closing accrual) - ₦40,000 (closing advance) = ₦650,000. Total expenditure equals Rent of ₦160,000 (₦180,000 - ₦20,000 prepayment) + General Expenses of ₦210,000 + Depreciation of ₦45,000 = ₦415,000. Net Surplus = ₦650,000 - ₦415,000 = ₦235,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the Subscription Income for the year using accrual adjustments
Subscription Income = ₦650,000
Opening advance (₦35,000) and closing accrual (₦65,000) are added to cash received (₦640,000), while opening accrual (₦50,000) and closing advance (₦40,000) are deducted.
2
Calculate the adjusted Rent Expense for the period
Rent Expense = ₦160,000
Prepaid rent at year-end (₦20,000) represents an unexpired cost for the next period and must be deducted from cash paid (₦180,000).
3
Sum all revenue expenditures for the period
Total Expenditure = ₦415,000
Total revenue expenses comprise Rent Expense (₦160,000), General Expenses (₦210,000), and non-cash Depreciation (₦45,000).
4
Deduct Total Expenditure from Total Income to calculate Net Surplus
Net Surplus = ₦235,000
Surplus is the excess of total revenue income (₦650,000) over total revenue expenditure (₦415,000).

Cevap: \text{N}385,000

Cevap

The accumulated fund of Unity Recreation Club as at 1st January 2025 is \text{N}385,000.
The accumulated fund is equivalent to capital in a profit-oriented business and is computed by subtracting total liabilities from total assets on a Statement of Affairs. Total assets comprise Club Equipment (\text{N}350,000), Cash at Bank (\text{N}45,000), Subscriptions in Arrears (\text{N}12,000), and Prepaid Insurance (\text{N}5,000), giving \text{N}412,000. Total liabilities comprise Subscriptions in Advance (\text{N}8,000), Accrued Electricity (\text{N}4,000), and Bar Creditors (\text{N}15,000), giving \text{N}27,000. Subtracting liabilities from assets yields \text{N}385,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify and sum all total assets at the start of the period
\text{Total Assets} = 350,000 \text{ (Equipment)} + 45,000 \text{ (Bank)} + 12,000 \text{ (Subscriptions in Arrears)} + 5,000 \text{ (Prepaid Insurance)} = \text{N}412,000$
Subscriptions in arrears represent amounts owed to the club (debtors/asset) and prepaid expenses represent future economic benefits (asset).
2
Identify and sum all total liabilities at the start of the period
\text{Total Liabilities} = 8,000 \text{ (Subscriptions in Advance)} + 4,000 \text{ (Accrued Electricity)} + 15,000 \text{ (Bar Creditors)} = \text{N}27,000$
Subscriptions received in advance represent unearned revenue (liability) and accrued expenses/creditors represent obligations owed by the club.
3
Calculate the accumulated fund using the fundamental accounting equation for non-profit entities
\text{Accumulated Fund} = \text{Total Assets} - \text{Total Liabilities} = 412,000 - 27,000 = \text{N}385,000$
The accumulated fund represents the net asset position (capital equivalent) of a non-profit organization.

What is the total closing cash and bank balance to be shown in the Receipts and Payments Account as of 31st December 2025?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ₦221,000

Cevap

The closing cash and bank balance in the Receipts and Payments Account is ₦221,000.
The Receipts and Payments Account functions strictly on a cash basis. The calculation begins with the total opening cash and bank balances (₦57,000), adds all actual cash received (₦240,000 subscriptions + ₦150,000 building donation + ₦35,000 sale of equipment proceeds + ₦50,000 life membership fees = ₦475,000), and subtracts all actual cash paid out (₦96,000 rent + ₦110,000 salaries + ₦80,000 furniture purchase + ₦25,000 honorarium = ₦311,000). Accrued items, prepayments adjustments, and non-cash charges (depreciation, outstanding invoice) are ignored. This yields a closing balance of ₦57,000 + ₦475,000 - ₦311,000 = ₦221,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the total opening cash and bank balance

Both opening cash in hand and opening bank balance form the opening balance of the Receipts and Payments Account.
2
Sum all cash receipts during the year (including capital receipts and receipts for past/future periods)
₦240,000 (Subscriptions) + ₦150,000 (Building Fund Donation) + ₦35,000 (Equipment Sale Proceeds) + ₦50,000 (Life Membership Fees) = ₦475,000
Receipts and Payments Account records all actual cash inflows regardless of whether they are capital or revenue in nature.
3
Sum all cash payments during the year (including capital expenditure and payments for future periods)
₦96,000 (Rent paid) + ₦110,000 (Salaries) + ₦80,000 (Furniture purchased) + ₦25,000 (Honorarium paid) = ₦311,000
Receipts and Payments Account records all actual cash outflows regardless of whether they are capital or revenue in nature.

Exclude non-cash items and accrued/outstanding amounts
Excluded items: Accrued Subscriptions (₦18,000), Accrued Rent (₦10,000), Depreciation (₦16,000), Outstanding Printing Invoice (₦5,000)
Non-cash items and unpaid accruals do not involve actual movement of cash and are therefore excluded from the Receipts and Payments Account.
5
Compute the closing cash and bank balance
Closing Balance = Opening Balance (₦57,000) + Total Cash Receipts (��475,000) - Total Cash Payments (₦311,000) = ₦221,000
The Receipts and Payments Account acts as a summarized Cash Book where Receipts + Opening Balance - Payments = Closing Cash/Bank Balance.

According to the club's financial policy, 60% of all entrance fees should be capitalized. What total amount should be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account for the year?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ₦140,000

Cevap

The total amount credited to the Income and Expenditure Account for the year is ₦140,000.
The correct figure of ₦140,000 is derived by recognizing only revenue items in the Income and Expenditure Account. Entrance fees are 40% revenue income (40%×₦150,000=₦60,00040\% \times ₦150,000 = ₦60,000), and general donations of ₦80,000 are revenue receipts (₦60,000+₦80,000=₦140,000₦60,000 + ₦80,000 = ₦140,000). Specific legacies (₦200,000) and special donations for equipment (₦120,000) are capital receipts credited directly to reserve/fund accounts in the Statement of Financial Position.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the revenue portion of entrance fees to be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.
Revenue Entrance Fees = (100%−60%)×₦150,000=40%×₦150,000=₦60,000(100\% - 60\%) \times ₦150,000 = 40\% \times ₦150,000 = ₦60,000
By policy, 60% of entrance fees must be capitalized (credited to the Statement of Financial Position / Accumulated Fund), leaving 40% to be recognized as revenue income.
2
Identify revenue income items among donations and legacies.
General Donations = ₦80,000 (Revenue Income). Specific Legacy = ₦200,000 (Capital Receipt). Special Equipment Donation = ₦120,000 (Capital Receipt).
General donations with no specific conditions are treated as revenue income. Legacies and donations earmarked for specific capital projects or asset acquisitions are capital receipts and credited directly to specific fund accounts in the Statement of Financial Position.
3
Sum all revenue income items to determine the total credit to the Income and Expenditure Account.
Total Credit = ₦60,000 (Revenue Entrance Fees)+₦80,000 (General Donations)=₦140,000₦60,000 \text{ (Revenue Entrance Fees)} + ₦80,000 \text{ (General Donations)} = ₦140,000
Only revenue items belong in the Income and Expenditure Account.

Adding all asset balances (Clubhouse building N500,000\text{N}500,000, Sports equipment N180,000\text{N}180,000, Cash at bank N45,000\text{N}45,000, Subscriptions in arrears N12,000\text{N}12,000, and Prepaid insurance N8,000\text{N}8,000) gives total assets of N745,000\text{N}745,000. Summing liability items (Accrued wages N15,000\text{N}15,000 and Subscriptions received in advance N10,000\text{N}10,000) gives total liabilities of N25,000\text{N}25,000. Subtracting liabilities from assets results in N745,000−N25,000=N720,000\text{N}745,000 - \text{N}25,000 = \text{N}720,000.

What is the net bar profit to be transferred to the Income and Expenditure Account?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: ₦60,000

Cevap

The net bar profit to be transferred to the Income and Expenditure Account is ₦60,000.
To find the net bar profit transferred to the Income and Expenditure Account, total purchases are calculated first as ₦80,000 + ₦15,000 - ₦12,000 = ₦83,000. Cost of goods sold is ₦20,000 + ₦83,000 - ₦25,000 = ₦78,000, yielding a bar gross profit of ₦150,000 - ₦78,000 = ₦72,000. Deducting the accrued bar steward salary expense (₦10,000 + ₦2,000 = ₦12,000) gives the correct net profit of ₦60,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate total bar purchases
Total Purchases = ₦80,000 (payments) + ₦15,000 (closing creditors) - ₦12,000 (opening creditors) = ₦83,000
Creditors adjustments must be applied to cash payments to determine total credit purchases.
2
Calculate cost of goods sold (COGS)
COGS = ₦20,000 (opening inventory) + ₦83,000 (purchases) - ₦25,000 (closing inventory) = ₦78,000
Cost of goods sold represents the net cost of inventory consumed during the period.
3
Calculate bar gross profit
Bar Gross Profit = ₦150,000 (bar takings) - ₦78,000 (COGS) = ₦72,000
Gross profit is revenue generated minus direct cost of goods sold.
4
Calculate total bar expense and net profit
Bar Steward Salary Expense = ₦10,000 + ₦2,000 = ₦12,000; Net Bar Profit = ₦72,000 - ₦12,000 = ₦60,000
Accrued expenses must be added under the accrual concept before deducting total expenses from gross profit.

Cevap: N135,000\text{N}135,000

Cevap

N135,000\text{N}135,000 should be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account as subscription income for the year.
According to the accrual principle, revenue earned in a financial period must be recognized in that period's Income and Expenditure Account. The total subscription income is calculated by taking the cash received (N120,000\text{N}120,000) and adding the subscriptions owing at year-end (N15,000\text{N}15,000), yielding N135,000\text{N}135,000.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify total subscription cash received during the financial year
Cash received = N120,000\text{N}120,000
This forms the cash base for subscriptions collected in the period.
2
Add subscriptions in arrears (accrued income) at the end of the year
Total Subscription Income = N120,000+N15,000=N135,000\text{N}120,000 + \text{N}15,000 = \text{N}135,000
Under the accrual concept, income earned during the accounting period must be recognized regardless of whether cash has been received.

What is the value (in ₦) of the Accumulated Fund of Metro Executive Club as at 1st January 2025?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 1071000

Cevap

The Accumulated Fund of Metro Executive Club as at 1st January 2025 is ₦1,071,000.
The Accumulated Fund is calculated using the fundamental statement of affairs equation: Accumulated Fund = Total Assets - Total Liabilities. Summing all asset items gives ₦850,000 (Club House) + ₦200,000 (Equipment) + ₦45,000 (Bar Inventory) + ₦18,000 (Subscriptions owing) + ₦4,000 (Prepaid insurance) + ₦8,500 (Cash in hand) = ₦1,125,500. Summing all liability items gives ₦12,000 (Subscriptions in advance) + ₦7,500 (Accrued electricity) + ₦35,000 (Bank overdraft) = ₦54,500. Subtracting liabilities from assets yields ₦1,125,500 - ₦54,500 = ₦1,071,000.

Cevap

Subscriptions received in advance match with current liability classification; Surplus matches with credit transfer to Accumulated Fund; Honorarium matches with debit to Income and Expenditure Account; Specific donation matches with direct capital fund treatment.
The Income and Expenditure Account operates on the accrual basis of accounting, matching revenue income earned against revenue expenditure incurred for the financial period. Capital receipts such as specific donations bypass this account, while unearned income is carried forward as a liability.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Differentiate between capital receipts and revenue receipts for non-profit entities.
Specific-purpose donations are capital receipts, while general subscriptions earned and honoraria are revenue items.
The Income and Expenditure Account records only revenue items belonging strictly to the current accounting period.
2
Apply accrual adjustments to revenue receipts.
Unearned income such as prepaid subscriptions must be excluded from the Income and Expenditure Account and recognized as a liability.
Revenue must be matched to the accounting period in which it is earned.
3
Determine the accounting treatment of operational expenses and final net balance.
Revenue expenses like honoraria are debited to the Income and Expenditure Account, and the resulting surplus is added to the Accumulated Fund.
Operational costs reduce current period surplus, and accumulated surplus increases organizational equity/capital.

Sunrise Recreation Club received ₦500,000 as entrance fees during the financial year. According to the club's constitution, 60% of entrance fees are to be capitalized, with the remainder recognized as revenue income. What amount (in ₦) should be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account for the year?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 200000

Cevap

₦200,000 should be credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.
When a non-profit organization's policy specifies that a portion of entrance fees should be capitalized, only the remaining percentage is treated as revenue income. Subtracting the 60% capital portion leaves 40% for revenue income. 40% of ₦500,000 equals ₦200,000, which is credited to the Income and Expenditure Account.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the proportion of entrance fees treated as revenue income
40% (since 60% is capitalized, 100% - 60% = 40%)
Only the non-capitalized portion of entrance fees is recognized as revenue income in the Income and Expenditure Account.
2
Calculate the monetary amount of the revenue portion
���200,000
40% of ₦500,000 = 0.40 × 500,000 = ₦200,000

According to the accrual concept of accounting, subscription income credited to the Income and Expenditure Account reflects income earned for the current financial period regardless of cash receipt timing: Subscription Income = Cash Received (N50,000) + Opening Advance (N4,000) + Closing Arrears (N6,000) - Opening Arrears (N5,000) - Closing Advance (N3,000) = N52,000.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Credit it to a Special Building Fund account as a capital receipt

Cevap

The donation should be credited to a Special Building Fund account in the Statement of Financial Position as a capital receipt.
Donations designated for a specific capital purpose, such as constructing a building, are capitalized and credited directly to a dedicated capital fund account in the Statement of Financial Position (Balance Sheet).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the nature of the receipt
The donation is tied to a specific project (construction of a library building).
Specific donations carry a legal or constitutional restriction on how the funds must be spent.
2
Determine accounting classification (Capital vs Revenue)
Specific donations are classified as capital receipts rather than general revenue income.
Capital receipts create or add to long-term funds or non-current asset financing rather than supporting day-to-day operational activities.
3
Select the correct accounting record and statement placement
Credit the Special Library/Building Fund account shown on the liabilities side of the Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position).
This keeps the funds earmarked until utilized for the intended capital asset construction.
