Explain the following:

1. Capital fund
2. Endowment fund
3. Life membership fees
4. Subscription
5. Legacy
6. Entrance fees.

Answer:

1. Capitaml fund:
For calculating capital fund, an opening balance sheet is prepared with the help of last year’s assets and liabilities. The total of liabilities side is deducted from the total of assets side and the difference thus gained is called capital fund.
Capital fund = Total assets – Total liabilities on opening date.

2. Endowment fund:
When endowment of a property or amount is made by a member or a non – member to the non-trading concern for specific purposes, it is called as an endowment fund. By endowment of property or money, the donor provides a continuous source of income to the concerns.

3. Life membership fee:
Some members may like to pay their membership fee in a lump sum single instalment for whole of the life. This lump sum payments on account of membership fee is called Life Membership Fee. The members who pay such lump sum fee are not required to pay annual fee for whole of the life. Such receipts is shown in the liability side of the balance sheet in a special fund and a proper portion equal to the normal annual subscription is transferred to the income and expenditure account every year till the fund amount is fully exhausted.

In some non – trading concerns the entire life membership fee is transferred to the capital fund in the year of its receipts. In the absence of any specific instructions whole of such fees be capitalized.

4. Subscription:
It is the main source of regular income of the non – trading concerns. The members pay subscription amount, monthly or annually to keep their membership continued. This item is shown in the income side of the account as a revenue receipts.

5. Legacies:
Legacies are the gifts received by the non – trading concerns as per the will of deceased members or non – members through their legal heirs. This is not a regular source of income.

6. Entrance fee:
At the time of giving membership, the non – trading concerns charge a specific amount as an entrance fee from the new members. This receipts is a non-recurring receipts since it is charged only once, i.e., at the time of admission of a member. Hence, entrance fee is shown in the balance sheet by increasing the capital fund.

However, in some non – trading concerns the entrance fee is regarded as revenue receipts and taken in the income side on the plea that such receipts is recurring in nature since new members are enrolled by every year. In the absence of any specific instructions the students may follow either practice by appending a note to this effect in their solution.
