- B.

Wages paid for the installation of machinery is of capital nature because it is directly related to the acquisition and installation of a long-term asset, which is the machinery. This expense is considered a capital expenditure because it enhances the value or extends the useful life of the machinery. In contrast, the purchase of goods, cost of repair, and rent of a factory are considered revenue expenditures as they are incurred in the normal course of business operations and do not result in the acquisition or improvement of long-term assets.Rate this question:

If the repair cost is Rs. 25,000, whitewash expenses are Rs. 5,000, cost of extension of the building is Rs. 2,50,000 and of improvement in electrical wiring system is Rs. 19,000; the amount to be expensed is:
- A.
Rs.2,99,000
- B.
Rs.44,000
- C.
Rs.30,000
- D.
Rs.49,000
Correct Answer
C. Rs.30,000Explanation
To calculate the amount to be expensed, you'll need to add up the repair cost and the whitewash expenses. The extension of the building and the improvement in the electrical wiring system are considered capital expenses, so they won't be expensed immediately.
Expensed amount = Repair cost + Whitewash expenses
Expensed amount = Rs. 25,000 + Rs. 5,000
Expensed amount = Rs. 30,000
So, the amount to be expensed is Rs. 30,000.Rate this question:

A bad debt recovered during the year is a:
- A.
Capital expenditure
- B.
Revenue expenditure
- C.
Capital receipt
- D.

Correct Answer
D. Revenue receiptExplanation

Revenue receipts are typically generated from the normal operations of a business and are recorded as part of the revenue or income section of the income statement.

Carriage charges paid for a new plant purchased if debited to carriage account would affect:
- A.
Plant account
- B.
Carriage account
- C.
Plant and carriage accounts
- D.
None of the three
Correct Answer
C. Plant and carriage accountsExplanation
If carriage charges paid for a new plant purchased are debited to the carriage account, it would mean that the expenses related to the carriage charges are being recorded in the carriage account. However, since the charges are directly related to the purchase of the new plant, they should be recorded in the plant account instead. Therefore, debiting the carriage account would result in an incorrect allocation of expenses. This would affect both the plant account and the carriage account, as the plant account would not reflect the correct cost of the new plant and the carriage account would show expenses that are not related to carriage charges.Rate this question:
