The bonus was paid during the financial year ended 31st March, 20X3 and was recognised as an expense in the annual financial statements for the said year. (iii) ABC Ltd. sells gym memberships for 7,500 per year to 100 customers, with an option to renew at a discount in 2nd and 3rd year at 6,000 per year.
