Hi ,

I want to know accounting entries for one scenerio-

As on 31.01.2017 Company ABC received a contract for delivery of parcels for one year and received rs.120000 in advance for that.

Conditions of the contract is delivery of upto 100 parcel in the month no extra charges and above this rs.150 per parcel .

ABC delivers 80 parcelsc in Jan'17, no parcels in Feb'17 and 130 parcels in March'17. There books of accounts ends in Dec'17.

1. On receipt of advance

 

Cash A/c       Dr   120000

To XYZ  A/c          120000

(Being advance from XYZ shown as liability)


2.  At the end of each month

XYZ A/c    Dr                 10000

To Service Income A/c   10000

(Being accrued income)

Note:- here entire liability-XYZ is transferred to service income equaly over 12 month(i.e 10000). In case of delivery below 100 or zero delivery NO additional entry will be required. However for months exceeding delivery of 100 following additional entry will be required

i.e for march

Cash A/c   Dr                  4500(30*150)

To Service Income A/c    4500(30*150)

(Being additional income)


3. At end of year

Service income A/c Dr 110000

To P&L A/c                   110000

(Being closing entry)

Note:- Balance liability of 10000 will be there and 2nd entry to be passed in next January
