I have a doubt regarding accounting treatment of purchase of share for investment purpose by a proprietor.

please help me to pass journal entry for the same in the books of account.and please explain the rule behind such an entry.

Thank You.

17 April 2014 It will come under Current Assets as Investments in shares:

Investment in Shares Dr
To Bank
(Being purchase ..... No. Eq/Pref. shares of ...... Ltd @ rs... per share).

Since it is an investment by a proprietor hence it will consist current assets.
