A.Owner's personal gift to a friend
B.Purchase of goods for cash for the business
C.A conversation about future plans with a supplier
D.An estimate of next year's sales
Explanation: A business transaction is an economic event of the business that can be measured in money and affects the books — e.g., purchase of goods for cash.
3The business entity concept states that:
A.Business and owner are treated as separate for accounting purposes
B.Only cash transactions are recorded
C.Assets equal liabilities only
D.Every debit has a corresponding credit in a different firm
Explanation: Under the business entity concept, the business is treated as distinct from its owner(s); personal transactions of the owner are kept out of the business books.
4Going concern concept assumes that the business will:
A.Close within one year
B.Continue to operate for the foreseeable future
C.Convert all assets into cash immediately

D.Bank reconciliation only
Explanation: Dual aspect (every transaction has two effects) underpins double entry: for every debit there is a corresponding credit of equal amount.

A.₹7,00,000
B.₹3,00,000
C.₹2,00,000

A.Cash is received only under all systems
B.Goods are sold or services are rendered and the right to receive is established (accrual)
C.An order is merely received
D.Goods are produced but not yet sold
Explanation: Under the accrual/revenue recognition concept, revenue is recognised when earned (sale or service completed and measurable), not merely when cash is received or an order is booked.

Explanation: Cash received: capital ₹50,000 + loan ₹20,000 = ₹70,000 cash. Goods purchased for cash convert ₹15,000 cash into stock of ₹15,000. Total assets remain ₹70,000 (cash ₹55,000 + stock ₹15,000).

Tamil Nadu HSE First Year Accountancy: Suggested Study Strategy

1Study from the current SCERT / Samacheer Kalvi Class 11 Accountancy textbooks and the year's model question paper pattern released for DGE public exams.
2Practise both conceptual MCQs and the official long/short answer and numerical formats; this bank cannot replace writing skill evidence.
3For calculation-heavy units (BRS, depreciation, final accounts, bills), rework numerical problems with full workings as in textbook examples.
4Do not study Class 12 company accounts or partnership admission/retirement as if they were Class 11 — stay on the HSE+1 sole-trader book-keeping syllabus.
5Use the official timetable to plan revision around your specific Part I / II / III sitting dates.
6After each practice set, log weak topic areas (by unit) and re-read those textbook chapters before retesting.
