SOLUTION 8
(i) Differences between Balance Sheet and Statement of Affairs:
Balance sheet is prepared on the basis of double entry system of book-keeping. Statement of affairs is prepared on the basis of incomplete records.
Balance sheet is prepared to present financial position of the business. Statement of affairs is prepared to find out either the amounts of opening capital or closing capital.
Balance sheet shows the true financial position of the business. Statement of affairs does not show the true financial position of the business.
Statement of affairs is the statement of assets and liabilities (including capital) prepared under the single entry system. Balance sheet is the statement of assets and liabilities (including capital) prepared under the double entry system.
Statement of affairs is prepared partly from a trader’s book, partly from other sources of information like cash book and sometimes from memory. Balance sheet is prepared with data available from the books of accounts only.
Statement of affairs is compiled from an incomplete books and information, the accuracy of which cannot be relied upon. Balance sheet is prepared from a set of books kept according to the double entry system, the arithmetical accuracy of which can be proved.
(ii) Difference Between Capital and Revenue Expenditure:
BASIS OF DIFFERENCE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE REVENUE EXPENDITURE
1. Purpose It is incurred for the purchase of fixed assets.
It is incurred for the maintenance of fixed assets.
2. Earning Capacity It increases the earning capacity of the business.
It does not increase the earning capacity of the business.
3. Periodicity of Benefit
Its benefits are spread over a number of years.
Its benefit is only for one accounting period.
4. Placement in Financial Statements
It is an item of balance sheet and is shown as an asset.
It is an item of trading and profit and loss account and is shown on the debit side of either of the two.
The expenditure incurred for acquiring a fixed asset or which results in increasing the earning capacity of the business is known as capital expenditures. The benefits of capital expenditures are generally availed in several accounting years. An expenditure incurred in the course of regular business a transaction of a concern is availed in the same accounting year is known as revenue expenditure.

(iii) Misconceptions generally associated with depreciation accounting are: Since depreciation is an allocation of cost over accounting periods, it is not directly connected to market value—or the amount that the asset would be worth if it was sold. The book value of an asset, computed as the actual cost minus the accumulated depreciation, is simply the unallocated cost of the item. The pattern of depreciation is fixed, and does not respond to changing market conditions.
Depreciation does not involve any cash flow. This is clearest in the simple case of an asset acquired entirely by cash payment. Although the initial purchase is a cash flow, the subsequent allocation of part of the cost as a period expense involves only an accounting entry. Depreciation is not intended as a mechanism to provide for replacement of the asset. There are no cash flows associated with depreciation, and there is no connection with any cash accumulated for replacement of the asset. The asset may or may not be replaced—this is a capital budgeting decision that is immaterial to the recognition of expense.
Because depreciation is an expense but has no associated cash flow, it is sometimes described as being "added back" to arrive at cash flow for the firm. This gives the impression that depreciation is somehow a source of cash flow. The "adding back," however, is simply recognition that no cash flow occurred, and depreciation cannot supply cash.
(iv) Partners’ salary should net be treated in the profit or loss account because it is not an expense. It is part of profit sharing scheme. It must be deducted from profit at the time of distribution of profits.
(v) In the balance sheet of public companies, equities are listed on the left had side and assets are
listed on right hand side of the balance sheet. This is not in keeping with the basic accounting equation Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s equity.
(vi) The misconceptions are (1) that the reserves for depreciation account represents an amount
set-aside each year to help replace the assets and (2) the reserve for bad debts account represents an amount set-aside each year to meet bad debts when they actually materialized. Actually no amount is set-aside. Both of these accounts came into existence as a result of expense recognition.
