Ill 9(ICAI study material) Adjustment 4 Why they do for this journal enry?

latest answer

Mutual owing are cancelled as P Ltd and Q Ltd are amalgamating into 1 company. The liquidation expenses of P Ltd paid by Q Ltd is over and above the consideration payable to Q Ltd. It is treated as Goodwill. As we have capital reserve balance, it is adjusted with Goodwill, to get the net effect of amalgamation.

Is provision for depreciation is current liability? In case it is current liability then what is the reason

latest answer

Under classification of accounts there are i) personal a/c's ii) Real a/c's iii) Nominal a/c's iv) valuation a/c's Here your doubt is about valuation a/c's These are the accounts which are created to show assets or liabilities at their original values (for clear presentation of financial statements). These accounts doesn't have any nature of assets or liabilities but they are just opposite to their original or source accounts (in terms of posting entries like debit and credit). Examples are prov for dep, prov for bad and doubtful debts, reserve for creditors etc., If clearly shows what is the cost at which it is purchased and accumulated depreciation details.... Hope it helps!!!

The closing balance of the asset is 70.12(cost given in question) and the depreciation thereof is 0.78 which makes the opening balance 70.9 Thus Fixed asset balance in balance sheet(in Solution) 70.12 + 155.7 = 225.82

If a petrol car is replaced with diesel engine for better economies. Let us say, Cost of petrol car = 5,00,000 Cost of diesel engine = 2,00,000 Now as usual we capitalise the cost of diesel engine to the car But if we sell the petrol engine which is removed the proceeds of such petrol engine how should we account for?? Whether it should be reduced from cost of diesel engine ?? Or The proceeds of petrol engine is recognised in p&l a/c as non-operating revenue?? Please clarify this for me...
