The roller cost a total of £2,000 on 1 January 2009 and had an estimated life of 10 years. (ii) Life subscriptions are brought into income equally over 10 years, in a scheme begun 5 years ago in 2008. Since the scheme began the cost of £200 per person has been constant. Prior to 31 December 2010 10 life subscriptions had been received. (iii) Four more annual subscriptions of £20 each had been promised relating to 2011, but not yet received. Annual subscriptions promised but unpaid are carried forward for a maximum of 12 months. (iv) New sports equipment is sold to members at cost plus 50%. Used equipment is sold off to members at book valuation. Half the sports equipment bought in the year (all from a cash and carry supplier) has been used within the club, and half made available for sale, new, to members. The ‘used equipment at valuation’ figure in the 31 December 2011 statement of financial position is to remain at £700. (v) Closing café inventory is £850, and £80 is owed to suppliers at 31 December 2011.
