Capital account doubt

1005 views 6 replies

I have a doubt regarding capital account in balance sheet.

Let us assume that a proprietory business does not do any activity during a particular year. Hence, I assume that  there no profit nor loss. Hence, there is no P&L account. 

Now, interest on capital will be added to the capital account in the liability side of the balance sheet. 

I would like to know what is the corresponding entry done to the asset side of the balance sheet.

The entry would be .....

1.      Interest  A/c..................Dr

             To Interest on Capital  A/c

2.     P/lL   A/c..................Dr

             To Capital A/c

 

Thus the debit balance of P/l should be shown in Assets side of B/s And Interest on Capital Shouls be should be shown in the Liability side of Balance Sheet.
 

So, can't be a business which has no P&L a/c ?

There are many cases where real estate players who recognise their revenue on contract completion basis do not file a P&L account but file only a Balance sheet ...

agree with suresh

As far I think if it is a proprietorship firm you cannot charge any Interest on Capital. Interest on Capital is charged in Partnership firm not Proprietorship.

If it is a propriteroy firm then it might have interest from bank so asset side would automatically increase,isnt it possible?
