1 - C

 

2- D

Here are the hints -

1. Insurance charges is for one year and recurring in nature.

2. 3 days grace is available for bills. 15th is public holiday. 

You may try to solve these now.  

 

Revised Answers 1-D 2-C

if the bill due date falls on public holidays etc by suo moto the date will move to next working day...

1. - C

as only capital nature i.e. one time expenses debited to asset account.

2. - B

Due date is 15 aug which is pre announced govt. holiday and not a sudden holiday. so one day before due date is maturity date.

1.d and 2 b

as insurance charges are of revenue nature and not of capital nature

and 15th aug is public holiday so 1 day before i.e. 14th will be due date of bill including grace days.

1) D  ( Insurance on car is done for one year hence should be treated as revenue expenditure as recurring in nature and petrol is also regular expense should not be capitalised)

 

2) B  (Due date is 15 aug which is pre announced govt. holiday and not a sudden holiday. so one day before due date is maturity date.)


 

Amount to be debited to car a/c shall be Rs 560000 + Rs 25000 = Rs 585000

Bill's due date shall be 14th Augest because 15th Augest is a public holiday.

REGARDS.

in the case of public holiday maturity  date falls on previous day..

but don't you think that due date is 12 aug ?????????????

Due date is 12th August + 3 grace days. 

15th August. 

Since 15th August is a holiday, 14th would be the due date. 

don't you think you forgot to add the bill grace day

 

12th aug+ 3 days= 15th Aug(Public Holiday)  = 14th Aug 

Dear All, 1. Car Value+Registration Amount+One Year Insurance is the part of Total Car Value (i.e. 560000+25000+10000=595000), but Petrol is a part of expenses. 2. I think Booking Date is 12th May & Billing date after three month i.e. 12th August.

IF any expense incurred before the asset is put to use then it is capitalised & here Insurance Paymentmade before the asset is put to use

 

dont feel so it is capitalised if the Payment of Insurance is for more than 1 year.??????

1-  (c) 

2-   (b)

Insurance - Generally, you can deduct the ordinary and necessary cost of insurance as a business expense, if it is for your trade, business, or profession.

It means its capital in nature at the time of purchase of new assets.

All the Expenses incurred before the assets is put to use are capitalised & depreciation will be provided on the same & if you are in Insurance business than it will be treated as revenue expense.
