A second-hand car is purchased for Rs. 10,000, the amount of Rs. 1,000 is spent on its repairs, Rs. 500 is incurred to get the car registered in the owner's name and Rs. 1,200 is paid as dealer's commission. The amount debited to the card account will be:
- Rs.10,000
- Rs.10,500
- Rs.11,500
- Rs.12,700
Correct Answer

A. Rs.12,700

Explanation

The amount debited to the card account will be Rs. 12,700. This is because the initial purchase price of the car is Rs. 10,000. Additional expenses such as repairs (Rs. 1,000), registration (Rs. 500), and dealer's commission (Rs. 1,200) are also incurred. Therefore, the total amount debited to the card account is the sum of these expenses, which is Rs. 12,700.

If the repair cost is Rs. 25,000, whitewash expenses are Rs. 5,000, cost of extension of the building is Rs. 2,50,000 and of improvement in electrical wiring system is Rs. 19,000; the amount to be expensed is:
- Rs.2,99,000
- Rs.44,000
- Rs.30,000
- Rs.49,000
Correct Answer

A. Rs.30,000

Explanation

To calculate the amount to be expensed, you'll need to add up the repair cost and the whitewash expenses. The extension of the building and the improvement in the electrical wiring system are considered capital expenses, so they won't be expensed immediately.

Expensed amount = Repair cost + Whitewash expenses
Expensed amount = Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 5,000
Expensed amount = Rs. 30,000

So, the amount to be expensed is Rs. 30,000.

The basic consideration in the distinction between capital and revenue expenditures is all of the above.

A bad debt recovered during the year is a:
- Capital expenditure
- Revenue expenditure
- Capital receipt
- Revenue receipt
Correct Answer

A. Revenue receipt

Explanation

A bad debt recovered during the year is classified as a revenue receipt because it represents income that is earned as a result of the recovery of a previously written-off debt. Revenue receipts are typically generated from the normal operations of a business and are recorded as part of the revenue or income section of the income statement. In contrast, capital receipts are generated from non-operating activities such as the sale of assets or investments. Therefore, a bad debt recovered is considered a revenue receipt rather than a capital receipt.

Carriage charges paid for a new plant purchased if debited to carriage account would affect:
- Plant account
- Carriage account
- Plant and carriage accounts
- None of the three
Correct Answer

A. Plant and carriage accounts

Explanation

If carriage charges paid for a new plant purchased are debited to the carriage account, it would mean that the expenses related to the carriage charges are being recorded in the carriage account. However, since the charges are directly related to the purchase of the new plant, they should be recorded in the plant account instead. Therefore, debiting the carriage account would result in an incorrect allocation of expenses. This would affect both the plant account and the carriage account, as the plant account would not reflect the correct cost of the new plant and the carriage account would show expenses that are not related to carriage charges.

This means that the expenditure is considered as an investment in the business and is expected to generate long-term benefits for the company.

An old piece of furniture was purchased for Rs.10,000.It was repaired for Rs.100.The repairs account should be debited by:
- Rs. 10,000
- Rs.10,100
- Rs.100

Since the repairs account should be debited, it means that an expense is being recorded. However, in this scenario, the repairs were done on an old piece of furniture that was already purchased. Therefore, the cost of repairs should be added to the original cost of the furniture, rather than being treated as a separate expense. As a result, there is no need to debit the repairs account separately, hence the correct answer is "Nil".
