Subscription received during the year 2019-20Rs.84000
        Add: Subscription outstanding at the end of the year 2019-20Rs 6000
 Rs. 9000
LessSubscription received in advance for the year 2020-21(Rs. 1200)
Less: Subscription outstanding for the year 2018-19(Rs. 3200)
Subscription shown in Income and Expenditure AccountRs. 85600

  •  Outstanding subscriptions for the current year are added to subscriptions received during the year because they are related to the current year. They will be subtracted from the subscription received next year when received.
  •  Subscription received in advance for the year is accrued income. Hence, it is subtracted from the subscription received.
  • Outstanding subscription received for the previous year is subtracted, as the accounting for the same has already been done in the previous year.
  • The resultant amount is the amount to be credited to the Income and Expenditure account in respect of subscription.
