INCOME AND EXPENDITURE ACCOUNT
Dr. for the year ending 31st March, 2006 Cr.
$\begin{array}{ccccc}\text{Expenditure}& \text{Amount}& \text{Income}& & \text{Amount}\\ & \text{(Rs)}& & & \text{(Rs)}\\ & & \text{By Subscriptions}& & \\ & & \text{(Received for 2005-06)}& 93,000& \\ & & \text{Add : Outstanding for the year 2005-06}& \underset{–}{7,000}& 1,00,000\end{array}$

BALANCE SHEET
as on 31st March, 2005
$\begin{array}{cccc}\text{Liabilities}& \text{Amount}& \text{Assets}& \text{Amount}\\ & \text{(Rs)}& & \text{(Rs)}\\ & & \text{Subscriptions Outstanding}& 8,000\\ & & & \end{array}$

BALANCE SHEET
as on 31st March, 2006
$\begin{array}{ccccc}\text{Liabilities}& \text{Amount}& \text{Assets}& & \text{Amount}\\ & \text{(Rs)}& & & \text{(Rs)}\\ \text{Subscription Received in Advance}& 2,000& \text{Subscriptions Outstanding}& & \\ & & \text{for 2004-05 (8,000 - 3,000)}& 5,000& \\ & & \text{For 2005-06}& 7,000& 12,000\end{array}$

Working Note :

(1) Total members are 500, each paying an annual subscription of Rs. 200.

Hence, total subscription receivable during the year 2005-06

$500\times \text{Rs}200=\text{Rs}1,00,000\text{Less : Amount received during the year 2005-06}=\text{Rs.}\underset{–}{93,000}\text{Outstanding subscription for the year 2005-06}=\text{Rs.}\underset{–}{7,000}$

(2) The outstanding subscription for 2004-05 is Rs. 8,000 out of which Rs. 3,000 has been received. Hence, the balance of Rs. 5,000 (i.e., Rs. 8,000 - Rs. 3,000) is still in arrear for 2004 - 05. It will be shown in the Balance Sheet on 31st March, 2006 on Assets side.
