7 Reporting and Preparing Financial Statements
CLASSIFICATION OF CAPITAL AND REVENUE
The Going Concern Assumption allows the accountant to classify the expenditure and receipts as:
Capital Expenditure Revenue Expenditure Deferred Revenue Expenditure Capital Receipts Revenue Receipts.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE: is that expenditure which yields benefits which extend beyond the current accounting period. They are of non-recurring nature. For e.g. cost of land and building, plant and machinery, furniture and fixtures etc.
REVENUE EXPENDITURE: is that expenditure which is incurred for the running productivity or earning capacity of a business. Such expenditure yields benefit in the current accounting period only. For e.g. Office and Administration Expenses, Selling & Distribution Expenses etc.
DEFERRED REVENUE EXPENDITURE: is that expenditure for which payment has been made or a liability incurred but is carried forward on the presumption that it will be benefit over a subsequent period or periods. Sometimes, revenue expenditure incurred during the year is very large and it is expected to benefit not only the current year operations but also subsequent period or periods. Such expenditure should be normally written off over a period of 3 to 5 years.
For e.g. heavy Advertising Campaign, Research & Development Expenditure.
CAPITAL RECEIPTS AND REVENUE RECEIPTS
The recurring receipts are normally the outcome of normal trading activities and are regarded as Revenue Receipts. Foe e.g. sale price received from sale of goods, interest on investments made in past etc. The benefits of recurring receipts do not extend beyond the current accounting period. The Revenue Receipts are shown in the Income Statement.
The non-recurring receipts are Capital Receipts and may take form of raising of long-term loans, capital contribution by the owner, sale price of fixed asset etc. The benefits of non-recurring receipts may or may not be confined to current accounting period. The capital receipts create a liability of an equal amount to be paid in future.
RATIONALE OF MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
The important considerations are:
1. Revenue Recognition Principle which requires that revenue should be recognised in the period in which the sale is deemed to have occurred.
2. Matching Principle which requires that the expenses should be recognised in the same period as associated revenues. Expenses recognition is tied to revenue recognition. Let the expenses follow the revenue.
An adjusting entry is recorded to bring an asset or liability account balance to its proper amount.
