Amount of subscription in arrears as at 31st March 2020 was ₹45,000 out of which 20% was not receivable and to be written off.
What is the amount of subscription for the year 31st March 2020 still in arrears?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is option 3- ₹6,000.
Subscription in arrears for the previous year is ₹45,000 out of which 20% is written off
Written off = 45,000 x 90/100
= 9,000
So o/s subscription for the year ending 31 March 2020 = 45,000 - 9,000
= 36,000
Out of 36,000, ₹30,000 is received in this year.
So after receiving 30,000, the remaining amount is still in arrears.
Arrears amount = 36,000 - 30,000
= 6,000
Thus, 6,000 is the O/S for the previous year ending 31 March 2020.
