Which of these is NOT shown in the receipts and payments account?
APurchase of a building for cash
BSubscription received in advance
CDepreciation on the club's building
DCash paid for the year's salaries
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Depreciation on the club's building
1. The receipts and payments account is a summary of actual cash and bank movements.
2. The textbook states that non-cash items such as depreciation, outstanding expenses and accrued income are not shown in it.
3. Depreciation involves no cash movement at all, so it is excluded.
4. A building bought for cash, salaries paid, and a subscription actually received in advance all involve cash, so all three are recorded.
5. Depreciation does appear in the income and expenditure account, which is prepared on the accrual basis.
