Answer 1

Solution:

Revenue from operations refers to total revenue earned by a company from its operating activities such as net sales of goods and services rendered.

Other income refers to revenue from all other operating activities which are not associated with the principal activities of the organization such as interest income, dividend income, and gains/losses from assets disposals.

 

The inflows from the sale of gift hamper Rs 505,000 should be treated as revenue from operations, while the dividend receipts of Rs4,200 should be treated as inflows from other income.
