The treasurer of the club, Mr. Lutomia is in process of drawing up the financial forecast of the club for the
coming year, ending on 30th September2003.
He wishes to prepare a forecast income and expenditure account for the year and a balance sheet as at that
date.
The following information has been collected to assist in the forecast:
1. The club has 300 members and it is intended to raise the subscriptions per member from the current
Sh.8,000 to Sh.10,000 per year. The members who have paid in advance will be allowed subscriptions
at the old rates. It is anticipated that the members currently in arrears with their subscriptions will
pay the arrears during the coming year. It is also anticipated that the number of members whose
subscriptions would be in arrears and those who would have paid in advance on 30 September
2003 would be the same as the corresponding numbers on 30 September 2002.
2. Extensions to the clubhouse are planned which will cost an estimated amount of Sh.3,000,000. Of
this sum, it is anticipated that Sh.2, 000,000 will be paid during the year.
3. Some of the club's sports equipment which cost Sh.500,000 and has a written value of Sh.200,000
will be sold for u estimated value of Sh.100,000 and replaced by new equipment costing
Sh.680,000. All equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over four years and none of the
equipment is more than three years old. A full year's provision is charged in the year of acquisition
and none in the year of disposal.
4. Bar purchases are made monthly on credit and paid for in the month following purchase. It is
anticipated that the same volume of business, which is fairly constant on a monthly basis, will be
realised during the coming year but that stock costs will rise by 25% from 1 October 2002.

Bar stocks are normally held at the level of one half of one month's purchases. The bar
makes a gross profit margin of 20% on all sales regardless of stock costs. Bar sales are on cash, all
of which is banked daily. The barman, who is paid Sh.20,000 per month, receives a commission of
5% of the gross profit for the year. This is paid with his final wage cheque by the year end.
5. The club runs monthly social evenings and charges members Sh.2,000 per head admission.
An average of 200 members attend each of these evenings. Expenses usually amount to Sh.
1,400 per head.

year:
