    Revenue also called income is nothing but the income generated by individuals or businesses from the sale of goods or investing capital or assets. Some examples of revenue are as follows:-

    1. Sales revenue
    2. Dividend received
    3. Interest earned
    4. Rent received
    5. Commission

     

     1. SALES REVENUE

    Sales revenue is the income received by the individual or business by selling its product or provision of services. the words “sale” and “revenue” are used interchangeably to mean the same thing. It is to be noted that revenue does not necessarily mean it has been received in cash, it can be partly in cash or partly on credit also.

    How to calculate sales revenue?

    SALES REVENUE = NO. OF UNITS SOLD * AVERAGE PRICE PER UNIT

    For example:- Amazon sold 4000 units of shirts @ 500 each. Therefore sales revenue for amazon is

    Sales revenue = 4000 * 500

    = 20,00,000

    Treatment of sales revenue in the financial statement, since sales are part of a trading account and appear on the credit side of the trading account.

    2. DIVIDEND RECEIVED

    Naina, this can be explained in simple terms. Suppose you own shares of a company which declares dividend so the dividend received is income for you. Since it does not reduce the assets of a company nor creates a liability it is shown as income and posted on the credit side of profit & loss A/c.

    Let me give you a short example of a dividend received, suppose you own 1000 shares of ABC.ltd. the company at the quarter-end calculate its earnings and decides to declare a dividend of Rs 5 per share. Therefore you would receive 1000* 5 i.e Rs 5000 as dividend income.

    3. INTEREST INCOME EARNED

    Interest income is the earnings the entity receives on any investments made. To be more precise it is money earned by an individual or business for lending their fund either by putting them as deposit in the bank. It is shown on the credit side of the profit & loss A/c.

    A very simple example for interest earned is when a business or an individual deposits money in the bank as savings and decided not to touch it for the coming years then such a depositor will gain interest on such savings by the bank. such type of income so received is treated as interest received and shown as income in the profit & loss A/c.

    3. RENT RECEIVED

    When money is received by the business for exchange of use of assets of the business by the other person, then it will be called rent received. Rent can be received by the business firm in respect of land, building, machinery, etc. As rent received is income for the business firm, it is shown on the credit side of profit & loss A/c.

    For example, X. ltd received Rs 20,000 via cash on one of its properties to Mr. Z. Then rent so received shall be treated as income in the books of ABC. ltd and same shall be treated as income and shown in the profit & loss statement.

    Summarised extract of profit & loss account is shown below for dividend received, Rent received and interest earned.

    To begin with, let me explain what is revaluation all about. So basically revaluation is a method of calculating the depreciation of assets where there are multiple identifiable assets of low value such as loose tools, live stocks, etc.

    Under this method assets like loose tools are revalued at the end of the accounting period and the same is compared with the value at the beginning of the year. the difference amount is considered as depreciation.

    The formula goes as :

    REVALUATION= OPENING VALUE + PURCHASES – CLOSING VALUE

    Let me take an example to show the same. Opening balance of Loose tools amounts to Rs.2,000 during the year, the business purchased loose tools of Rs.500 and at the year-end loose tool amounted to Rs.1,500 then revalued figure which will be shown as depreciation will be

    REVALUATION=  Rs.(2,000+ 500 – 1,500)

    = Rs.1,000

    The main discussion is”how to show adjustment of revaluation of the loose tool in financial statements”?

    As we all know, loose tools are considered assets for the business, hence shown under the head current assets or fixed assets depending upon the nature of the business and the time for which it is held.

    When the trial balance shows the debit value of loose tools, later on in the year-end the loose tools are revalued to a certain amount then the difference amount will be shown as depreciation in the Profit & Loss A/c and the revalued figure will be posted in the balance sheet asset side.

    Let me support my explanation with an example,

    Given is the extracted trial balance of XYZ & Co.

     

    we see the value of Loose tools in the given trial balance as Rs.50,000. At the year-end, these Loose tools were revalued at Rs.40,000.

    Therefore the adjustment in the financial statement would be like Rs (50,000 – 40,000) i.e Rs. 10,000 would be shown as depreciation under Profit & Loss A/c

     

    and the adjusted figure of Rs. 40,000 (i.e Rs.50,000 – Rs.10,000), will be shown on the asset side under the head fixed assets of the Balance Sheet.
