Particulars₹
Subscription received during the year 2023-241,20,000
Less: Outstanding subscription on 1.4.2023 (relates to last year, wrongly included in cash received)(8,000)
Add: Outstanding subscription on 31.3.2024 (relates to this year, not yet received)12,000
Less: Subscription received in advance on 31.3.2024 (relates to next year)(7,000)
Add: Subscription received in advance on 1.4.2023 (relates to this year, received last year)5,000
Subscription for the Income and Expenditure Account1,22,000

Step 2 — Compute. 1,20,000 − 8,000 = 1,12,000; + 12,000 = 1,24,000; − 7,000 = 1,17,000; + 5,000 = 1,22,000.

Step 3 — Balance Sheet treatment. The closing outstanding subscription of ₹12,000 will appear as an asset, and the closing advance subscription of ₹7,000 will appear as a liability, in the Balance Sheet as at 31.3.2024.

✓Final answer

Subscription to be shown in the Income and Expenditure Account for the year ended 31.3.2024 = ₹1,22,000.
