Subscription in advance refers to a situation where a customer pays for a service or subscription before receiving it. The revenue is recognized as a liability or unearned revenue initially and is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet. As the service is provided over time, the revenue is gradually recognized as earned revenue on the income statement WHILE Subscription in arrears, on the other hand, refers to a situation where a customer pays for a service or subscription after receiving it. The revenue is recognized immediately as earned revenue on the income statement when the service is provided, even though the payment is received later.

Cost of goods sold = Opening stock + Purchase – Closing stock
Opening stock = 20,000
Purchase = 30,000
Closing stock = 30,000
Cost of goods sold = 20,000 + 30,000 – 30,000
Cost of goods sold = 20,000

(6b)
Net profit percentage = (Net profit / Sales) ×100
Net profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold – Expenses
Net profit = 50,000 – 20,000 – 10,000
Net profit = 20,000
Net profit percentage = (20,000 / 50,000) * 100
Net profit percentage = 40%

(6c)
Acid-test ratio = (Current assets – Stock) / Current liabilities
Current assets = Debtors + Closing stock
Current liabilities = Creditors
Debtors = 10,000
Closing stock = 30,000
Creditors = 5,000
Acid-test ratio = (10,000 + 30,000 – 30,000) / 5,000
Acid-test ratio = 10,000 / 5,000
Acid-test ratio = 2:1

(6d)
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current assets = Debtors + Closing stock
Current liabilities = Creditors
Current ratio = (10,000 + 30,000) / 5,000
Current ratio = 40,000 / 5,000
Current ratio = 8:1

(6e)
Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities
Current assets = Debtors + Closing stock
Current liabilities = Creditors
Working capital = (10,000 + 30,000) – 5,000
Working capital = 40,000 – 5,000
Working capital = 35,000

(6f)
Gross profit percentage = (Gross profit / Sales) ×100
Gross profit = Sales – Cost of goods sold
Gross profit = 50,000 – 20,000
Gross profit = 30,000
Gross profit percentage = (30,000 / 50,000) × 100
Gross profit percentage = 60%
