1Which fundamental accounting concept dictates that revenue is recognized when it is earned and expenses are recognized when they are incurred, regardless of cash receipt or payment?
A.Cash concept
B.Accrual concept
C.Going concern concept
D.Business entity concept
Explanation: The accrual concept states that income and expenses must be recognized in the period in which they occur or are earned/incurred, rather than when cash is actually received or paid. This ensures a true and fair view of financial performance.
2A sole proprietor withdraws ₹50,000 in cash from the business bank account for personal household expenses. Which accounting concept mandates treating this withdrawal as 'Drawings' rather than a business expense?
A.Dual aspect concept
B.Matching concept
C.Business entity concept
D.Money measurement concept
Explanation: The business entity concept separates the owner's personal transactions from the business transactions. Personal withdrawals reduce the owner's capital equity as 'Drawings' rather than being recorded as business expenses.
3Creating a 'Provision for Doubtful Debts' against trade receivables at the end of the financial year is based on which accounting principle?
A.Prudence (Conservatism) concept
B.Historical cost concept
C.Materiality concept
D.Consistency concept
Explanation: The prudence (conservatism) concept states that an accountant should anticipate all potential future losses but not anticipate prospective profits. Creating a provision for doubtful debts ensures assets are not overstated.
4Why are fixed assets valued at historical cost less accumulated depreciation rather than their current market liquidation value in a standard Balance Sheet?
A.Because of the Materiality concept
B.Because of the Going Concern concept
C.Because of the Periodicity concept
D.Because of the Realisation concept
Explanation: Under the going concern concept, it is assumed that the business enterprise will continue operating in the foreseeable future and has no intention or need to liquidate its assets at current forced-sale market prices.
5A firm purchases a new machine for ₹4,00,000 and incurs ₹30,000 on freight and ₹20,000 on installation before it is ready for use. Additionally, ₹5,000 is spent on annual insurance for the machine. What amount should be capitalized in the Machinery Account?
A.₹4,00,000
B.₹4,30,000
C.₹4,50,000
D.₹4,55,000
Explanation: All expenses incurred to acquire a non-current asset and bring it to its intended working location and condition (cost ₹4,00,000 + freight ₹30,000 + installation ₹20,000 = ₹4,50,000) are capital expenditure. Annual insurance (₹5,000) is a recurring revenue expenditure.
6At the start of the year, a trader's capital was ₹3,00,000 and total liabilities were ₹1,50,000. During the year, the business earned a net profit of ₹80,000 and the trader withdrew ₹30,000 for personal use. What is the total value of assets at the end of the year?
A.₹4,50,000
B.₹5,00,000
C.₹5,30,000
D.₹5,60,000
Explanation: Closing Capital = Opening Capital + Net Profit - Drawings = ₹3,00,000 + ₹80,000 - ₹30,000 = ₹3,50,000. According to the Accounting Equation (Assets = Liabilities + Capital): Total Assets = ₹1,50,000 (Liabilities) + ₹3,50,000 (Closing Capital) = ₹5,00,000.
7A company purchases machinery on 1st April 2023 for ₹2,40,000 with an estimated scrap value of ₹40,000 at the end of its 5-year useful life. Using the Straight Line Method (SLM), what is the book value of the machinery on 31st March 2025?
A.₹1,60,000
B.₹1,44,000
C.₹1,80,000
D.₹2,00,000
Explanation: Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Scrap Value) / Life = (₹2,40,000 - ₹40,000) / 5 = ₹40,000 per year. For 2 years (2023-24 & 2024-25), accumulated depreciation = 2 × ₹40,000 = ₹80,000. Book value on 31st March 2025 = ₹2,40,000 - ₹80,000 = ₹1,60,000.
8Plant and Machinery was purchased on 1st April 2023 for ₹5,00,000. Depreciation is charged at 20% p.a. on the Written Down Value (WDV) method. What will be the depreciation charge for the second accounting year ending 31st March 2025?
A.₹1,00,000
B.₹80,000
C.₹64,000
D.₹75,000
Explanation: Year 1 (2023-24) Depreciation = 20% of ₹5,00,000 = ₹1,00,000. Book Value on 1st April 2024 = ₹5,00,000 - ₹1,00,000 = ₹4,00,000. Year 2 (2024-25) Depreciation = 20% of ₹4,00,000 = ₹80,000.
9A sale of goods for ₹15,000 to Ram was correctly entered in the Sales Book but incorrectly posted to the credit of Ram's personal account. If a Suspense Account is used to balance the Trial Balance, what rectification journal entry is required?
A.Debit Ram ₹30,000; Credit Suspense Account ₹30,000
B.Debit Ram ₹15,000; Credit Sales Account ₹15,000
C.Debit Suspense Account ₹30,000; Credit Ram ₹30,000
D.Debit Ram ₹15,000; Credit Suspense Account ₹15,000
Explanation: Ram's account should have been debited with ₹15,000, but was credited with ₹15,000. To correct this one-sided posting error, Ram's account must be debited with double the amount (₹30,000) and Suspense Account credited with ₹30,000.
10While preparing a Bank Reconciliation Statement starting with an Overdraft as per Cash Book of ₹40,000, it was found that cheques deposited for ₹12,000 were not yet cleared by the bank. How should this ₹12,000 item be treated?
A.Deducted from Cash Book overdraft balance
B.Added to Cash Book overdraft balance
C.Ignored completely in reconciliation
D.Debited directly to Profit & Loss Account
Explanation: When cheques deposited are not yet cleared, the bank passbook balance/overdraft is higher than the cash book. Starting from Cash Book overdraft, uncleared cheques increase the overdraft position, so ₹12,000 must be ADDED.
