The correct answer is Option 3- (A), (C), (D) and (E) only. * Bank Overdraft: This is a liability and is shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. * Legacies received during the year: Legacies received represent funds received by the not-for-profit organization and are considered a liability until they are utilized for the organization's objectives. * General Fund: The General Fund represents the accumulated surplus of the organization, and it is shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. * Subscription Received in Advance: This is a liability because the organization has received cash in advance for services (subscriptions) that it has not yet provided. * Contingent Liabilities (option B) are typically not shown on the face of the balance sheet of a not-for-profit organization because they are potential obligations that depend on future events. They are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. |
