Detailed Solution & Explanation
Entrance Fees:
The Associations collect entrance fees/admission fees from the new members at the
time of their admission. It is different from the membership fees/subscriptions, which are received every year
and hence treated as revenue income and transferred to Income & Expenditure
account.
But the entrance fees is received only once from a member, hence it can be treated as
follows:
(a) If the amount is just sufficient to recover the expenditure incurred while
admitting any member then it will be treated as revenue income and
transferred to Income & Expenditure account.
(b) Otherwise the entrance fees can be capitalized & transferred to the Trust Fund
Account. OR;
(c) Entrance fees may be treated as deferred Income and shown in the Balance
Sheet under the head "Entrance Fees Account" & Part-amount can be written
off every year by transferring to Income & Expenditure A/c in proportion to
the benefit extended to the members, estimated on some suitable basis.
