Depreciation on Sports Materials8,400
Surplus32,600
Total72,500Total72,500

Explanation of Adjustments

1. Subscription

Subscription received during the year = ₹52,000

Add: Outstanding subscription for current year = ₹1,000

Add: Subscription received in advance in previous year = ₹4,000

Therefore:

Subscription Income = ₹52,000 + ₹1,000 + ₹4,000 = ₹57,000


2. Salary

Salary paid during the year = ₹25,000

Add: Outstanding salary at the end = ₹5,000

Less: Outstanding salary at the beginning = ₹7,000

Therefore:

Salary Expense = ₹25,000 + ₹5,000 − ₹7,000 = ₹23,000


3. Entrance Fees

Total Entrance Fees received = ₹6,000

50% is to be capitalised:

Capital portion = ₹3,000

Remaining 50% is treated as revenue income:

Revenue portion = ₹3,000


4. Depreciation on Sports Materials

Opening Sports Materials = ₹35,000

Depreciation @ 20%:

₹35,000 × 20% = ₹7,000

Sports Materials purchased on 1 October 2017 = ₹18,000

Since these were purchased during the year, depreciation is charged for 6 months:

₹18,000 × 20% × 6/12 = ₹1,800

Therefore:

Total Depreciation = ₹7,000 + ₹1,800 = ₹8,800

Important correction

The published solution material appears to use ₹1,400 on the additional sports materials, but that does not follow the stated 20% p.a. rate for six months. We should therefore use ₹1,800.

This changes the surplus from ₹32,600 to:

₹72,500 − ₹40,300 = ₹32,200

So the correct surplus based strictly on the stated adjustment is ₹32,200.

Capital Fund

Opening Capital Fund = ₹1,50,500

Add: Surplus = ₹32,200

Add: Capitalised Entrance Fees = ₹3,000

Closing Capital Fund = ₹1,85,700

Outstanding Salary

₹5,000 is payable at year-end and therefore appears as a liability.

Outstanding Subscription

₹1,000 is income earned but not yet received and therefore appears as a current asset.

Sports Materials

₹35,000 + ₹18,000 − ₹8,800 = ₹44,200

Cash

Closing cash as given in Receipt & Payment Account = ₹19,500.


Final Check

Total Liabilities = ₹1,90,700

Total Assets = ₹1,90,700

✅ Balance Sheet Tallies


🎯 Exam Tip

जब भी Receipt & Payment Account से Income & Expenditure Account बनाना हो, केवल cash received/paid को सीधे income/expense न मानें।

हमेशा देखें:

Opening Outstanding → Current Outstanding → Advance → Current Year Income/Expense

यही adjustments का मुख्य हिस्सा है।
