    Explanation
    Payment of monthly rent to the land is considered an economic event because it involves a financial transaction where money is exchanged for the use of land. This transaction has an impact on the economy as it contributes to the income of the landowner and affects the financial position of the tenant. It is a part of the economic activities that occur within a market system, involving the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

    • B.

      Stock

    • C.

      Land & buildings

    Correct Answer
    C. Land & buildings
    Explanation
    Land and buildings are examples of fixed assets because they are long-term assets that are not easily converted into cash. Fixed assets are typically used in the production or supply of goods and services, rather than being held for sale. Land and buildings have a physical existence and provide long-term benefits to the company, such as office space or manufacturing facilities. They are not expected to be consumed or sold within the normal operating cycle of the business. Therefore, land and buildings meet the criteria of being fixed assets.

    • C.

    Explanation
    A creditor is a person or entity to whom a business owes money. They have provided goods or services to the business on credit, and the business is obligated to repay the debt. The term "creditor" is commonly used in the context of financial transactions and refers to someone who has extended credit or loaned money to another party.

      Sales  

    • B.

    • C.

      Expenses

    Correct Answer
    B. Purchase 
    Explanation
    The word "purchase" is used to describe the act of buying goods or acquiring them in exchange for money. In this context, "purchase" is the most appropriate term to denote goods that are brought for sale, as it implies that the goods have been acquired for the purpose of reselling them. The other options, "sales" and "expenses," do not accurately convey the concept of goods being acquired for sale.

    • B.

      Land 

    • C.

      Closing stock 

    Correct Answer
    A.  Mines  Land  Closing stock 
    Explanation
    Mines, land, and closing stock are all examples of wasting assets. A wasting asset is an asset that has a limited lifespan and decreases in value over time. Mines are finite resources that will eventually be depleted, land can lose value due to factors such as erosion or development, and closing stock refers to inventory that will eventually be sold or used up. Therefore, all three options listed (mines, land, and closing stock) are examples of wasting assets.

It is a tangible or intangible asset that is expected to be used in the business for more than one accounting period. Examples of fixed assets include buildings, land, machinery, vehicles, and patents. These assets are not intended for immediate sale or conversion into cash and are used for the production or provision of goods and services.

      Sale   

    • C.

    Correct Answer
    A. Purchase  
    Explanation
    Purchase is the correct answer because it refers to the act of buying goods or services for the purpose of reselling them. In a business context, purchases are made with the intention of generating revenue by selling those items to customers. This term is commonly used in accounting and inventory management to track the acquisition of inventory or stock that will be sold at a later time.

    Correct Answer
    A.  Revenue  
    Explanation
    Revenue expenditure is increased to maintain the business or to keep the assets in good working condition. This includes expenses such as repairs, maintenance, and operating costs that are necessary for the day-to-day operations of the business. Capital expenditure, on the other hand, refers to investments in long-term assets or projects that are expected to generate benefits over a longer period of time. Therefore, revenue expenditure is the correct answer as it specifically relates to expenses incurred to maintain the business or assets in good working condition.

      Interest   

    • D.

      Commission

    Correct Answer
    B. Sale 
    Explanation
    Sale is the major source of revenue for any business as it represents the income generated from selling products or services to customers. This revenue is crucial for covering expenses, making profits, and sustaining the business operations. Purchase, interest, and commission are also important components of a business, but they do not directly contribute to the primary source of revenue like sales do.

      Capital

    Explanation
    Capital represents the amount invested by the owner into the business. It is the owner's contribution to the company, either in the form of cash or assets, to start or expand the business. Capital is a crucial component of the business as it provides the initial funds necessary for operations, purchasing assets, and covering expenses. It is distinct from revenue, which is the income generated from the business's operations, and assets, which are the resources owned by the business.

    Explanation
    A barter transaction is one where items are exchanged for other items without the use of cash or credit. In a barter system, individuals or businesses trade goods or services directly with each other, without the need for a medium of exchange like money. This type of transaction was commonly used in ancient times and is still practiced in some societies or in situations where currency is scarce.

       Fixed 

    • B.

      Working  

    • C.

      Current

    Correct Answer
    B. Working  
    Explanation
    Working capital refers to the excess of current assets over current liabilities. It represents the amount of funds available to a business for its day-to-day operations. A positive working capital indicates that a company has enough assets to cover its short-term obligations, while a negative working capital suggests that the company may have difficulty meeting its short-term financial obligations. Therefore, the correct answer is "Working."

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

     ___________ is not a  tangible asset 

    • A.

      Goodwill

    • B.

       Land  

    • C.

      Closing stock

    Correct Answer
    A. Goodwill
    Explanation
    Goodwill is not a tangible asset because it is an intangible asset that represents the reputation, customer base, brand value, and other non-physical assets of a company. It cannot be seen or touched like land or closing stock. Goodwill is typically acquired through business acquisitions or mergers and is recorded on the balance sheet as an intangible asset.

    Rate this question:

      Going concern 

    • C.

      Accounting period 

    Correct Answer
    B. Going concern 
    Explanation
    The concept of going concern assumes that the business will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. This means that the business is not expected to be liquidated or cease operations in the near term. The going concern concept is important in accounting as it allows for the preparation of financial statements under the assumption that the business will continue to exist, enabling the use of historical cost and accrual accounting principles.

    • A.

      Monetary 

    • B.

      Non- monetary  

    • C.

      Monetary & Nonmonetary

    Correct Answer
    A. Monetary 
    Explanation
    Accounting is concerned with monetary aspects, which include financial transactions, assets, liabilities, income, and expenses that can be measured in terms of money. Non-monetary aspects refer to items that cannot be measured in monetary terms, such as goodwill, reputation, or employee satisfaction. However, accounting primarily focuses on the monetary aspects as they are quantifiable and can be recorded and analyzed to provide financial information for decision-making purposes.

    • C.

      C. Going concern concept

    Correct Answer
    C. C. Going concern concept
    Explanation
    The going concern concept states that a business is assumed to continue its operations in the foreseeable future. This concept is important in measuring income because it allows for the recognition of revenue and expenses over a period of time, rather than just at a specific point in time. It acknowledges that income is earned and expenses are incurred over the course of the business's ongoing operations, and therefore should be measured accordingly. This concept is essential for producing accurate and meaningful financial statements.

    Explanation
    The consistency concept in accounting states that once a company adopts an accounting method or policy, it should continue to use that method consistently in the future. In this case, the policy of anticipating no profit and providing for all possible losses is followed consistently to ensure that the financial statements reflect a true and fair view of the company's financial position. By consistently following this policy, the company can provide reliable and comparable financial information over time.

In accounting, source documents are the original records that provide evidence of a transaction. Vouchers are used to authorize and document expenses, receipts are used to record the receipt of cash or other assets, and bills are used to document amounts owed for goods or services. Therefore, all of these documents are considered source documents in accounting.

In contrast, a debtor is someone who owes money to the business. An investor, on the other hand, is someone who provides funds or resources to the business in exchange for ownership or a share of profits, but they may not necessarily be owed money by the business.

    Rate this question:

  • 24. 

     Accounts receivable normally has ________ balance 

    • A.

      A. Credit 

    • B.

      B. Debit 

    • C.

      C. Negative 

    • D.

       All these 

    Correct Answer
    B. B. Debit 
    Explanation
    Accounts receivable normally has a debit balance. This is because accounts receivable represents the amount of money owed to a company by its customers for goods or services that have been provided on credit. When a customer makes a purchase on credit, the company records the transaction as an increase in accounts receivable, which is a debit entry. As the customer pays off their debt, the accounts receivable balance decreases, resulting in a credit entry. Therefore, accounts receivable typically starts with a debit balance and is reduced as payments are received.

These statements include the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and statement of changes in equity. They are essential for evaluating the financial health of a business, making informed decisions, and meeting regulatory requirements. Therefore, the correct answer is b. Accounting.

Personal accounting involves recording and organizing financial activities related to an individual's personal assets, liabilities, income, and expenses, which aligns with the function and purpose of a bank account.

It is a part of the overall profit and loss account, which includes other expenses and revenues. The balance sheet, on the other hand, is a statement that shows the financial position of a company at a specific point in time, while the profit and loss account summarizes the company's revenues, expenses, and net profit or loss over a specific period.

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Balance sheet 
    Explanation
    Capital expenditures are recorded in the balance sheet because they represent long-term investments in assets that will provide benefits to the company over multiple accounting periods. The balance sheet provides a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific point in time, and it includes the value of the company's assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity. Capital expenditures increase the value of the company's assets, and therefore, they are recorded on the balance sheet as an increase in the asset value. This allows stakeholders to see the company's investment in long-term assets and assess its financial health and ability to generate future returns.

This journal helps keep track of all credit sales made by the business and is an important tool for monitoring and managing accounts receivable.

This means that the value of the closing stock will be determined by comparing its cost price to its market price, and the lower of the two will be used as the valuation. This approach ensures that the closing stock is not overvalued, as it takes into account any decrease in market value that may have occurred.

    Explanation
    Income received in advance is considered a liability because it represents an obligation or a debt owed by the company to the customer. When a company receives income in advance, it has not yet earned that income through the provision of goods or services. Therefore, the company has a responsibility to fulfill its end of the agreement and deliver the promised goods or services in the future. Until the company fulfills this obligation, the advance payment is considered a liability on its balance sheet.

    Correct Answer
    C. C. overdraft
    Explanation
    When a person withdraws more money from their bank account than the amount they have deposited, it creates a negative balance in their account. This negative balance is known as an overdraft. It is essentially borrowing money from the bank, allowing the account holder to spend more than what they have in their account. The bank charges interest on the overdraft amount until it is repaid. Overdrafts are typically used for short-term borrowing and can be a convenient way to cover unexpected expenses or temporary cash flow issues.

    Correct Answer
    A. A. Debit 
    Explanation
    The income from an overdraft is considered a debit because it represents an increase in liabilities for the bank. When a customer uses an overdraft, they are essentially borrowing money from the bank, which increases the bank's liabilities. Therefore, the income generated from overdrafts is recorded as a debit in the passbook to reflect this increase in liabilities.
