Quick Summary
This discussion clarifies whether hoardings, warning signs, and hazard boards constitute capital or revenue expenditure. Generally, these are treated as revenue expenses, similar to internally generated goodwill, as they lack future economic benefit. While large-scale revenue expenditures might be deferred, items like warning signs are expensed as they don't directly generate revenue. The conversation also touches upon CSR initiatives, explaining how they are expensed rather than capitalised.

Advertisement Exp ( Revenue)
Warning instructions and hazards sign board at petrol pump is also recorded as advertisement exp ???

Yes there is no future economic benefit from.them. it's treated like internally generated goodwill and expenses.

Sir
depreciation is charged on a fixed assets on straight method say ₹1 lac /year if the machine is overused during a year how it is recorded ??
Hoarding of capital and revenue expenditure is not possible. Revenue expenditure if of larger magnum may be treated a deferred revenue.
How warning and hazards sign is advertisement ??

It's a goodwill. There is a company called ITC which maintains roads by giving dustbins or radium signboards. Like that many companies do. But that advertisement need not give them revenues, so it is expensed. Besides, these behemoth companies do it as CSR initiative as well. 

Hoarding or pooling of different class like revenue and capital is not possible. 

So how the entry is passed for this CSR ??

So this is like 2% of three years profits. 

Dr. Retained Earnings 

Cr. Bank 

But since you have to record the e event, it'll be like 

Dr. CSR expense 

Cr. Bank 

 

 

Why dr. retained earnings

Because the three years profits carried down are in it.
