    2.1.1 Income

    Income is the inflow of cash or its equivalents from sale of a good, a service or an asset.

    Example : 

    • From work (wage or salary), 

    • From capital (interest or profit),

    • From land (rent).

    Income is defined in different ways depending on the context—for example, for purposes of taxation, financial accounting, or economic analysis. For individuals and businesses, income generally means the value or amount that they receive for their labour and products.

    2.1.2 Expenditure

     Expenditure is funds used by a business, organization, or corporation to acquire a new asset, improve existing ones, or reduce a liability. In other words, it is the use of a resource in the operation of a business. 

     Briefly, Expenditure means the use of cash or cash equivalents to purchase assets, pay down debt, or fund operation.

    Main features of Income and Expenditure Account are: 

    • Income and Expenditure Account is a nominal account. Therefore, the rule of nominal account (debit all expenses and losses and credit all incomes and gains) is followed.

    • The opening and closing balances of cash in hand and cash at bank are not recorded in it. It has no opening balance,

    • While preparing it, only items of revenue nature are recorded and all items of capital nature are ignored. For example, the profit earned or loss suffered on the sale of an asset will be recorded in it but the amount received from the sale of an asset will not be recorded in it the 

    • Income and Expenditure Account is prepared at the end of an accounting period,

    • Income and Expenditure Account contains revenue items only.

    2.2 Types of income

    Activity 2.2

    V

    Analyse the picture above then answer the following questions :

    1. What is about the image ?

    2. Is it possible that those people may gain the same icome? if Yes or Not explain.

    3. How do we call the income received by those people.

    4. Classify the following incomes according to their main types : salary, wage, profit, rental income.


    There are three types of income: 

    • Earned income (active income)

    • Portfolio income

    • Passive income

    a. Earned income

    Earned income (active income) is the money earned from working. It is compensation of human efforts.

    Example: Salary; wages; bonuses; contract work

    The different tasks are:

    a. Working a job

    b. Consulting

    c. Any other activity that pays based on time/effort spent.

    While earned income is the most common mechanism for making money, it is obvious downside is that once you stop working, you stop making money. 

    Additionally, because the amount of money that is made through earned income is directly proportional to the time and effort you spend working. It is difficult for someone to make more earned income without either learning a new (or more valuable) skill or working longer hours. Additionally, earned income is taxed at a higher rate than any other type of income. 

    One huge benefit of earned income over the other income types is that you generally don’t need any start-up capital in order to make earned income, which explains why most people rely on earned income from the start of their working file. In fact, earned income is a great way to start your investing career, as it allows you to save up cash that will help you generate the other two types of income.

    b. Portfolio/ Investment income 

    This is the income that is generated by selling investments that were made earlier. In simpler words, this represents an increase in the value of the investment or capital gain as it is known in common terms. For instance, if a person buys shares and sells at a higher price or if they buy a house and sell it for a profit, the difference is called a capital gain. 

    This income has no relation to the number of hours worked. Also, this income is not received periodically. It keeps on accruing over a period and is paid out when the investor decides to liquidate it. Also, this type of income is more tax efficient as compared to earned income. This is true only if the investments have been held for a long period of time. Most countries in the world separate long term capital gains from short term capital gains and tax them at a lesser rate. 

     Example: Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, interest, etc.; money from buying/ selling real estate or other assets, such as automobiles.

    Some activities that generate portfolio income include: 

     a) Trading (buying/selling) Paper and Assets Paper refer to things like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, T-bills, currencies or other types of futures/derivatives. 

     b) Buying and Selling Real Estate (specifically the profit from the sale)

     c) Buying and Selling of any other Antique Asset or cars for example. Or other types of collectibles that have an appreciating value 

     Portfolio income certainly has some advantages over earned income. Once you have the knowledge and experience to generate portfolio income on a consistent basis, you can continually reap the benefits (compound your return) by reinvesting after each sale.

    c. Passive Income 

     Passive income is another important source of income. It shares the characteristics of earned income and investment income. Just like earned income, it is paid for every period. However, the quantum of income does not depend upon the number of hours invested. Rather, it depends upon the capital invested. This is where passive income is like investment income. 

     Typical examples of passive income are rent, interest, and dividends, which are paid by shares and debentures. The taxes on this type of income are also less as compared to the earned income. Some incomes like dividends are totally tax-free in the hands of the investor. For other incomes like rent, there are tools such as depreciation, which can be used to lower the income and, therefore, the tax payable. 

    Some activities that generate passive income include: 

     • Rental Income or rent Income from Real Estate 

     • Business Income (assuming it’s not earned based on amount of time/ effort suent that would be Earned Income) 

     • Creating and Selling Intellectual Property, Books, Patents, Internet Content, etc 

     • Affiliate or Multi-Level Marketing

    Application activity 2.2

    1. List three (3) activities that can generate portfolio income

    2. What is the main benefit of earned income over the other income types? At least one.

    3. Explain the reason why Some peoples refer to portfolio income as “capital gains”.

    4. By using typical examples, explain the passive income.

    5. Discuss, interpret and present how is it possible for someone to make more earned income without either learning a new (or more valuable) skill or working longer hours? (answer by YES or NO)

    2.3 Types of expenditure

    Activity 2.3

    V

    Analyze the above picture then answer the following questions:

    1. What about the image?

    2. Explain the relationship presented on the above picture.

    3. Which kind of transactions on which people are spending money?

    4. How can one differentiate these expenses according to the ways in which these people spent money?

    There three classes of expenditure 

    a. Capital Expenditure

    Capital expenditure is an amount incurred for acquiring the long term assets such as land, building, equipments which are continually used for the purpose of earning revenue. These are not meant for sale. These costs are recorded in accounts namely Plant, Property, Equipment. Benefits from such expenditure are spread over several accounting years. 

    Example: Interest on capital paid, Expenditure on purchase or installation of an asset, brokerage and commission paid.

    b. Revenue Expenditure 

     Revenue expenditure is the expenditure incurred in one accounting year and the benefits from which is also enjoyed in the same period only. This expenditure does not increase the earning capacity of the business but maintains the existing earning capacity of the business. It included all the expenses which are incurred during day to day running of business. The benefits of this expenditure are for short period and are not forwarded to the next year. This expenditure is on recurring nature.

    Example: Purchase of raw material, selling and distribution expenses, Salaries, wages etc. 

     c. Deferred Revenue

     Expenditure Deferred revenue expenditure is a revenue expenditure which is incurred in the present accounting period but its results or impacts on profitability are incurred in the following or the future accounting periods. This expenditure might be written off in the same financial year or over a period of a few years 

    Example: Development expenditure, Advertisement expenditure etc.

    Application activity 2.3

    1. Explain the types of expenditure

    2. With typical examples differentiate capital expenditure from deferred revenue expenditure.

    3. In which accounts capital expenditure must be recorded?

    • Purchase the sugar for a bread manufacturing company

    • Payment of salary

    • Give gifts to potential customers

    • Offer end year rebate

    • Purchase company shelves

    A debit note, or a debit memo, is a document issued by a seller to a buyer to notify them of current debt obligations. You’ll commonly come across these notes in business-to-business transactions — for example, one business may supply another with goods or services before an official invoice is sent. The debit note ‘makes note’ of the transaction for documentation purposes.

     Debit notes are also used in business-to-customer transactions, such as when a customer returns goods to a business received on credit. In this case, the buyer issues the debit note to the seller.

     This note is issued by a seller in goal: 

    • To rectify a favorable mistake to buyer which it has been clearly fixed only after the sending of an invoice. 

    • To request additional payment as interests due a delay period made by the buyer in the payment of this invoice. 

    • To charge the customer who fails to return the packaging cases or containers not charged for in an invoice.

    • Incoming debit notes are received from creditors; Outgoing debit notes are sent to debtors. Return outwards day books is written up from incoming credit note.

     b. Time or hour used on workplace by Employee

     If you pay your employees on an hourly rate, you’ll need to have a system in place to monitor the hours they work, so you can ensure they are paid the correct amount. For employees that are on a salary, you may choose to monitor when they’re working to ensure they are adhering to their contracted hours.

    c. Salaries, wages and net gross pay 

     You need to keep a record of whether your employees are on a salary or an hourly wage, as this will determine how you calculate their pay.

     • A salary is a pay packet that an employee receives on a monthly basis. These payments are based on a yearly amount that is divided into 12 individual payments. But depending on the nature of your business, you may choose to pay your employees a wage instead of a salary. 

    • A wage is an amount based on hours worked rather than a yearly fixed amount. You’ll set an hourly wage and multiply this by the number of hours worked to calculate their total pay in a particular period. On your employees’ payslips you’ll need to indicate their gross and net pay. 

     • Gross pay is an employee’s total pay within that period. 

    • Net pay is the amount they receive after tax and any other deductions.

    d. Tax and deductions 

    By law, every employee has to pay tax and national insurance from their total gross pay. The tax rate can vary depending on the total amount an employee has earned and their circumstances. Regardless, it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure the correct amount is deducted in payroll and paid to Rwanda revenue authority (RRA) each month. It’s important, you complete this on time each month or you could be charged a penalty.

    g. Credit note 

    A credit note is a document issued by a seller to a buyer to notify that credit is being applied to their account. You might notice these referred to as credit memos, too. As a seller, you may issue a credit note when there’s a need to cancel all or part of an invoice for a variety of reasons, including: 

    • Changes to an order after an invoice is issued 

    • Goods returned or services rejected

     • Goods were damaged during shipping 

    • Pricing mistakes on the original invoice 

    No actual money is exchanged with a credit note; rather, it’s used to offset a previous invoice that’s already been paid.
