Concept understanding — Income and Expenditure Account

An Income and Expenditure Account is the not-for-profit organisation's equivalent of a Profit & Loss Account: a nominal account prepared on the accrual basis that records only revenue incomes and expenses of the current period, and whose balance is a surplus (excess of income over expenditure) or deficit rather than profit or loss.

Convert the cash-based Receipts & Payments Account into the accrual-based Income & Expenditure Account by removing all capital items and all items of other periods, then adjusting current-period incomes/expenses for outstanding and prepaid amounts.

How it differs from Receipts & Payments

Receipts & Payments A/c = a summarised cash book: all cash received/paid, capital or revenue, current year or not.
Income & Expenditure A/c = only revenue items of the current year on accrual basis; capital receipts (donations for building, legacies, sale of assets) and capital payments (buying assets) are excluded and go to the Balance Sheet.

Preparing it (the adjustments)

Start from receipts/payments and apply accrual adjustments:

Adjustment	Treatment
Subscriptions received	+ outstanding for this year, − received in advance, − last year's arrears now received
Expenses paid	+ outstanding, − prepaid
Depreciation on assets	Debit (non-cash expense)
Bad debts / provisions	Debit

Stationery consumed = Paid + Opening stock − Closing stock = 1,500 + 300 − 200 = ₹1,600 (to Income & Expenditure A/c); ₹200 closing stock is a Balance Sheet asset.

In the Tamil Nadu HSC Class-12 Accountancy chapter on Not-for-Profit Organisations, only the consumption of stationery — not the cash paid — is treated as an expense of the year on an accrual basis.

›Reveal solution

Part (a): Convert ABC Club's Receipts & Payments A/c into an Income & Expenditure A/c and Balance Sheet, adjusting for accruals, depreciation (by estimated values) and unpresented cheques → Surplus ₹60; Balance Sheet ₹7,650.

Part (b): Admit D — prepare Revaluation A/c (profit ₹9,450), Partners' Capital A/cs and the new Balance Sheet (₹94,725).

(All figures below are in ₹ '000, exactly as given in the question.)

Part (a) — Income & Expenditure A/c and Balance Sheet (12 Marks)

Step 1 — Working notes (accrual adjustments)

(W1) Subscriptions & Donations (income):

3{,}900 + 150\ (\text{closing due}) - 225\ (\text{opening due}) = 3{,}825

(W2) Printing & Office expenses:

420 + 120\ (\text{closing due}) - 150\ (\text{opening due}) = 390

(W3) Bank interest: ₹45 received + ₹30 accrued (not yet in the pass book) = 75.

(W4) Honorarium: the ₹600 paid was for 2024 (a liability outstanding at the start of the year). This year's honorarium = previous 600 + increase 300 = 900, and it remains outstanding.

(W5) Ground man: fee 1,125 + outstanding bonus 450 = 1,575.

(W6) Depreciation on machinery & equipment (revaluation/estimated-value method):

Particulars	₹
Opening estimated value	1,200
Add: Mowing machine purchased	2,250
Less: Sale proceeds of equipment	(120)
Less: Closing estimated value	(2,625)
Depreciation (balancing figure)	705

(W7) Repairs (bank-reconciliation adjustment): the R&P shows ₹750, which is the amount of cheques cleared per the pass book. Cheques actually issued this year = 750 − 450 (last year's cheques cleared now) + 390 (this year's cheques still unpresented) = 690 → this is the repairs expense.

(W8) Cash-Book bank balances (Pass Book − unpresented cheques):

Opening: (3,345 + 900) − 450 = 3,795
Closing: (4,635 + 225) − 390 = 4,470

Step 2 — Opening Balance Sheet (1 April 2024) → the Capital Fund

Liabilities	₹	Assets	₹
Creditors for printing	150	Cash in hand	150
Honorarium outstanding (2024)	600	Bank — Deposit A/c	3,345
Capital Fund (bal. fig.)	4,620	Bank — Current A/c (900 − 450)	450
		Subscription due	225
		Machinery & equipment	1,200
Total	5,370	Total	5,370

Answer — Capital Fund on 1 April 2024 = ₹4,620.

Step 3 — Income & Expenditure Account for the year ended 31 March 2025

Expenditure	₹	Income	₹
To Ground man's fee (1,125 + 450)	1,575	By Subscriptions & Donations (W1)	3,825
To Ground rent	375	By Bank interest (W3)	75
To Cost of teas	375	By Receipts from teas	450
To Fares	600	By Contribution to fares	150
To Printing & office exp. (W2)	390	By Net proceeds of variety entertainment	1,170
To Repairs to equipment (W7)	690
To Honorarium (W4)	900
To Depreciation (W6)	705
To Surplus (excess of income over exp.)	60
