Non-current assets
Non-current/fixed assets are those held for the long-term use in the business, without the
intention of selling in the normal course of business. Generally they have a low liquidity as it is
difficult to convert them into cash immediately without incurring a substantial loss.

Current assets
These are assets held for a period usually less than one accounting year. It is held either
for sale, or to be converted to cash. The liquidity is high.

Non-current liabilities
Non-current liabilities are liabilities not expected to be repaid in the next 12 months. An
example of this could be a three year loan, the first 12 months repayments would be
considered current liabilities while the final two years being more than 12 months into the
future would be a non-current liability.

Current liabilities
Current liabilities are considered liabilities of the business that are to be settled in cash within
the accounting year.

Equity/Capital
Equity is the residual interest in the assets of the enterprise after deducting all its liabilities
(owners’ investment and reserves). In general, share capital, reserves, retained earnings can
be found for capital.

Note:
When a company purchased stocks (for sale), there is increase in assets (current assets – inventories).
However, the double entry for that transaction is passed as follows.

Purchases A/C Dr
Cash/Creditors A/C Cr

Therefore, the impact on the accounting equation can be considered as a decrease in equity (due to the
increase in expenses which makes negative impact on equity) and decrease in assets (when purchased by
paying cash) or increase in liabilities (when purchased on credit terms).

However, it is also possible to state that assets (inventories) increased due to purchases and cash
decrease/creditors increase.

Exercise: 05

1. Rs. 140,000 should be taken as closing inventories to the financial statements.

As per the “Prudence concept”, inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable
value (NRV) rather than the expected selling price. This ensures profit on the sale of
inventory is only realized when the actual sale takes place.

2. Rs. 10,000 should be accounted as “drawings” and should be deducted from the capital
balance when preparing the financial statements.
According to the “Business entity concept”, financial accounting is based on the principle
that the transactions and balances of a business entity should be accounted separately
from its owners. Therefore, the business entity is considered to be distinct from its owners
for the purpose of accounting. Accordingly, any personal expenses incurred by owners of a
business will not appear in the income statement of the entity. Similarly, if any personal
expenses of owners are paid out of assets of the entity, it would be considered to be
drawings for the purpose of accounting much in the same way as cash drawings.

3. Only the rent expense applicable for the financial year (Rs. 60,000) should be taken to the
income statement as “rent expenses” and the balance amount paid for the next financial
year should be taken to the statement of financial position as “prepaid rent” under the
current assets.
Financial statements are prepared under the “Accruals concept” of accounting which
requires that income and expense must be recognized in the accounting periods to which
they relate rather than on cash basis.

4. Rent received for the year 2007 should not be taken as revenue in the year 2006, and it
should be considered as a current liability, “Rent received in advance” in the year 2006.
As per the “Accruals concept”, income must be recorded in the accounting period in which
it is earned. Therefore, prepaid income (income received in advance) must not be shown as
income in the accounting period in which it is received but instead it must be presented as
income in the subsequent accounting periods in which the services or obligations in respect
of the prepaid income have been performed.

5. Trading account shows the gross profit for the period which is the difference between
“sales” and “cost of sales”. Cost of sales should include only the cost incurred to generate
sales for the period and “inventory loss” is not an expense incurred to generate sales for
the period. Therefore, inventory loss should be included under the “other expenses” in the
income statement.
According to the “Matching concept”, only those expenses incurred to generate the
income should be recognized in the financial statements.

Page | 11
Exercise: 06

1. Income statement is prepared according to the “Accrual concept” and according to that
income and expenses relevant for the period should be identified irrespective of the cash
received or not.
Accordingly, income is recognized when it is “earned” and expenditure is identified when it
is “incurred”, whether the relevant amount has been received/ paid or not.

2. According to the “Business entity concept”, the transactions and balances of a business
entity are to be accounted separately from its owners. The business entity is therefore
considered to be distinct from its owners for the purpose of accounting.
Therefore, any personal assets, liabilities, income earned and expenses incurred by owners
of a business will not appear in the financial statements of the entity.

3. Financial statements show the net book value of non-current assets (in the statement of
financial position). Therefore, when an asset reaches to its end of the useful life, net book
value reaches zero, since the amount of the accumulated depreciation reaches the cost of
the asset.
According to the “Matching concept”, non-current assets should be depreciated over the
useful life of the asset. Depreciation results in a systematic charge of the cost of a fixed
asset to the income statement over several accounting periods spanning the asset's useful
life during which it is expected to generate economic benefits for the entity. Depreciation
ensures that the cost of fixed assets is not charged to the income statement at once but is
'matched' against economic benefits (revenue or cost savings) earned from the asset's use
over several accounting periods.

4. As per the “Prudence concept”, inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable
value (NRV) rather than the expected selling price. This ensures profit on the sale of
inventory is only realized when the actual sale takes place.
Prudence requires that accountants should exercise a degree of caution in the adoption of
policies and significant estimates such that the assets and income of the entity are not
overstated whereas liability and expenses are not under stated.

5. According to the “Realization concept”, also known as revenue recognition principle,

revenue is recognized by the seller when it is earned irrespective of whether cash from the
transaction has been received or not.
In case of sale of goods, revenue must be recognized when the seller transfers the risks and
rewards associated with the ownership of the goods to the buyer. This is generally deemed
to occur when the goods are actually transferred to the buyer.

Depreciable Amount - of a depreciable asset is the historical cost or other amount

substituted for 'historical cost' in the financial statements, less the estimated residual value.

Vehicle Number Depreciation for the Y/E 31/12/2005

300 - 5212 = 250,000 x 20% x (6/12) 25,000 (Working 1)

252 - 1422 = 650,000 x 20% 130,000 (Working 2)

GA 9248 = 900,000 x 20% x (9/12) 135,000 (Working 3)

GB 3921 = 800,000 x 20% x (3/12) 40,000 (Working 4)

Total Depreciation charge for the year 330,000

Working 1

6 months 1 year 1 year 1 year 1 year 6 months

30/06/00 31/12/00 31/12/01 31/12/02 31/12/03 31/12/04 31/12/05

should be depreciated only for the remaining useful life of this asset, which is 6 months.

Working 2
3 months 1 year

30/09/04 31/12/04 31/12/05

* At the beginning of the financial year 2005, this asset has been depreciated only for 3 months. Therefore, it

Exercise: 12

= (250,000 – 50,000)/4
= 50,000

= 50,000/(250,000 – 50,000) x 100

= 25%

Exercise: 13

n = Number of years of useful life

SV = Scrap/Residual Value
CA = Cost/Revalue of the asset

= {1 – (5√32,768/100,000) } x 100

= 20%

According to the reducing balance method of depreciation, depreciation is calculated based

on the written down value (WDV) of the asset. (Written down value = Cost - Accumulated
depreciation)

Exercise: 14

= {1 – (4√72,030/300,000) } x 100
= 30%
Page | 16
Annual depreciation charge = (Cost – Accumulated depreciation) x Rate of depreciation
Depreciation charges
1st year = (300,000 – 0) x 30%
= 90,000

2nd year = (300,000 – 90,000) x 30%

= 63,000

3rd year = (300,000 – 153,000) x 30%

= 44,100
