NATURE OF CAPITAL AND INCOME [Cuap. VIII Practically, therefore, the lawyer’s income is obtained by taking from the above table only the two principal items, the income from investments and the income from his professional work. Each of these is $1500, so that according to this approximate accounting the net income is $3000. Another and more common method of approxi- mating an income account is to record simply money receipts and disbursements, in other words, to record only the items of the preceding account under “cash.” The lawyer's cash account book would present an appear- ance like the following: — Receipts Disbursements Investments, in stocks From stocks and bonds . $2000 andbonds . . . . $ 500 From personal labor . . 2000 Rent . . . . . . . 100 Furniture repairs . . . 30 Costoffood. . + . 50 Servants. . v . es 100 Clerk hive: «five 500 HE0 ovis 2500 $4000 $3780 This leaves a cash balance of $220, which is to be added, at the end of the month, to the cash on hand at the begin- ning.
