Quick Summary
This discussion delves into key financial accounting concepts, primarily focusing on the distinction between capitalisation and revenue expenditure. It clarifies that capital expenditure relates to acquiring assets like machinery, with associated installation costs capitalised. Revenue expenditure, incurred to earn profit, is expensed. The conversation also touches upon Net Realisable Value (NRV) for inventory valuation, explaining it's the lower of cost or market price, and poses several practical accounting scenarios for ABC LTD, including credit notes, inventory reporting, bad debt provisions, and monthly inventory calculation.
Any expenditure incurred for aquisition of an asset like Land , Building , Machinery , Vehicle , Investment etc are capital expenditure , any expenditure incurred to earn the profit is revenue expenditure . Example of capital expenditure Machinery brought in the company for installation , all the installation expenses will be added to the cost of purchase of Machine .
Net realisable value is difference between sales price and cost of sales , if inventory is valued lower of cost price , then net realisable value will be more .
