Question:

Which among the following items is shown as the Major Head in the balance sheet of a company?

Options:

Deferred tax assets

Current Assets

Trade payables

Long term provisions

Correct Answer:

Current Assets

Explanation:

In a standard balance sheet, items are organized into major categories. The major heads typically include:

  • Assets (which are further divided into Current Assets and Non-Current Assets)

  • Liabilities (which are further divided into Current Liabilities and Non-Current Liabilities)

  • Equity (or Shareholders' Funds)

The other options are all sub-items that fall under these major heads:

  • Deferred tax assets are a type of non-current asset

  • Trade payables are a sub-heading under current liabilities.

  • Long-term provisions are a sub-heading under non-current liabilities.
