The Local Council’s revenue for 2008 was
Explanation
Revenue is income received by the local council. We need to identify which items are sources of income versus expenditure.
Revenue items: Fines (₦5,000) – penalties collected from offenders. Allocation from state government (₦20,000) – funds received from the state. Tenement rates (₦10,000) – property taxes collected. Licences (₦12,000) – fees for permits and licenses issued.
Total Revenue = ₦5,000 + ₦20,000 + ₦10,000 + ₦12,000 = ₦47,000.
Hospital beds and ambulance are capital items (assets purchased). Salaries and vehicles fueling are expenditures (money spent). These are not revenue – they represent how money is spent, not how it is received. Revenue only includes money coming into the council.
