Question:

Income and Expenditure Account prepared in case of a Non Profit Organization is in the nature of which of the following account?

Options:

Suspense Account

Trial Balance

Profit and Loss Account

Balance Sheet

Correct Answer:

Profit and Loss Account

Explanation:

The Income and Expenditure Account serves the same purpose as the profit and loss account of a business organisation does. All the revenue items relating to the current period are shown in this account, the expenses and losses on the expenditure side and incomes and gains on the income side of the account. It shows the net operating result in the form of surplus (i.e. excess of income over expenditure) or deficit (i.e. excess of expenditure over income), which is transferred to the capital fund shown in the balance sheet.
