From Financial Accounting
Outstanding expenses are expenses incurred during the period but unpaid at year end. They are added to the related expense in Profit & Loss Account (to charge full expense of the period) and shown as a current liability in the Balance Sheet. Prepaid expenses are amounts paid in advance for future periods. They are deducted from the related expense in Profit & Loss Account (to charge only current period expense) and shown as a current asset in the Balance Sheet. This ensures correct matching of expenses with the period.
Share capital may be classified as: authorised capital (maximum allowed), issued capital (part offered to public), subscribed capital (part subscribed by public), called-up capital (amount called by company), and paid-up capital (amount actually received from shareholders). This classification helps understand how much capital is legally permitted, offered, demanded and collected.
Dishonour means failure of the acceptor to pay the bill on maturity. If a bills receivable held till maturity is dishonoured, the debtor becomes liable again: Debtor’s A/c Dr. To Bills Receivable A/c. If noting charges are paid to a notary, they are recoverable from the debtor: Debtor’s A/c Dr. To Bank/Cash A/c.
Renewal means replacing a dishonoured bill by a new bill for a further period. First, the old bill is cancelled (as above). Interest for the extended period is charged to debtor: Debtor’s A/c Dr. To Interest A/c. Then the new bill is drawn for the total (bill amount + interest): Bills Receivable A/c Dr. To Debtor’s A/c. Thus, renewal records cancellation of the old bill, charging of interest, and creation of a new bill.
