At the end of the year its value to the business may only be \u20b9 9,000. This diminution in value \u20b9 1,000 is a revenue loss.<\/li>\n<li>Stocks of materials bought will be an asset unless, consumed, to the extent the materials are used up, they will be revenue expenditure.<\/li>\n<li>Capital expenditure are shown in the Balance Sheet as assets whereas revenue expenditures are debited to P&amp;L a\/c.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gstguntur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GST-Guntur.png\" alt=\"Capital and Revenue Expenditure \u2013 CA Foundation Accounts Study Material\" width=\"123\" height=\"13\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nDeferred Revenue Expenditure &amp; Prepaid Expenses<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nDeferred Revenue Expenditure &amp; Prepaid Expenses:<br \/>\n\u2192 The Guidance Note on &#8216;Terms used in Financial Statement\u2019, issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, defines \u201cdeferred revenue expenditure as those expenditure for which payment has been made or a liability incurred but which is carried forward on the presumption that it will be of benefit over a subsequent period or periods.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 In short, it refers to that expenditure that is, for the time being, deferred from being charged against income.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 So long as deferred revenue expenditure is not written off, this is shown on the assets side of the balance sheet under the head \u201cMiscellaneous Expenditure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Deferred revenue expenditure should be revenue expenditure by nature in the first instance, for example, advertisement. But its matching with revenue may be deferred considering the benefit to be accrued in future.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 A thin line of difference exists between deferred revenue expenses and prepaid expenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 The benefits available from prepaid expenses can be precisely estimated but that is not so in case of deferred revenue expenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Heavy advertising to launch a new product is a deferred expenses since the benefit from it will be available over the next three to five years but one cannot say precisely how long.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 On the other hand, insurance premium paid, say, for the year ending 30th June, 2006, when the accounting year ends on 31st March, 2006 will be an example of prepaid expense to the extent of premium relating to three months\u2019 period i.e. from 1st April, 2006 to 30th June, 2006.<\/p>\n<p>\u2192 Thus the insurance protection will be available precisely for three months after close of the year and the amount of the premium to be carried forward can be calculated exactly.<\/p>\n<p>As per Accounting Standard 26 only those expenditures should be deferred which are expected to give future benefits. While solving problem, student should defer an expense item only if specifically so required by the question.<\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nCapital Receipts and Revenue Receipts<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nCapital Receipts and Revenue Receipts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Receipts which are obtained in the course of normal trading operations are revenue receipts (e.g. sale of goods, interest income etc.).<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, receipts which are not revenue in nature are capital receipts (e.g. sale of fixed assets, secured or unsecured loans, owners\u2019 contribution etc.).<\/li>\n<li>Subscriptions by shareholders towards share capital of a company or for purchasing its debentures are considered by the company as capital receipts.<\/li>\n<li>By the same criterion, contributions by partners or proprietors to capital of their business are capital receipts.<\/li>\n<li>Sale value of fixed assets is also a capital receipts since these are distinguishable from revenue receipts, e.g., those from sale of merchandise, rent on property, interest on investment, professional fee for services rendered, etc.<\/li>\n<li>It will be evident that capital receipts emanate out of a fund already held or arise on conversion of an asset, whereas revenue receipts flow from personal exertion, use of a capital asset or from sale or transfer of floating assets like goods.<\/li>\n<li>Revenue and capital receipts are recognized on accrual basis as soon as the right of receipt is established.<\/li>\n<li>Revenue receipts are credited to the Profit and loss account.<\/li>\n<li>On the other hand, capital receipts are not directly credited to Profit and loss account.<\/li>\n<li>For example, when a fixed asset is sold, the entire capital receipts is not credited to Profit and Loss Account. Profit or loss on sale of fixed assets is calculated and recorded in Profit and Loss Account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/gstguntur.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GST-Guntur.png\" alt=\"Capital and Revenue Expenditure \u2013 CA Foundation Accounts Study Material\" width=\"123\" height=\"13\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>True or False<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Question 1.<br \/>\nLease premium will be treated as revenue expenditure.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nFalse: Lease premium is a capital expenditure.<\/p>\n<p>Question 2.<br \/>\nAmount received by the issue of debentures is a capital receipt.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nTrue: Money received by way of issue of shares or debentures by a company is a capital receipt.<\/p>\n<p>Question 3.<br \/>\nCapital expenditure is done to restore the efficiency of an asset.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nFalse: Capital expenditure is done to improve the efficiency of an asset.<\/p>\n<p>Question 4.<br \/>\nRevenue loss is not the same thing as Revenue expenditure.<br \/>\nAnswer:<br \/>\nTrue: Revenue expenditure is incurred to receive a benefit during a cur\u00acrent year.
