Question:

Which of the following will be a part of Income and Expenditure account?

Options:

Sale of Fixed Asset

Profit on sale of fixed asset

Purchase of fixed asset

None of the above.

Correct Answer:

Profit on sale of fixed asset

Explanation:

Receipts from the sale of an old asset appear in the Receipts and Payments Account of the year in which it is sold. But any gain or loss on the sale of asset is taken to the Income and Expenditure Account of the year. For example, if an item furniture with a book value of Rs. 800 is sold for Rs. 700, this amount of Rs. 700 will be shown as receipt in Receipts and Payments Account and Rs. 100 on the expenditure side of the Income and Expenditure Account as a loss on sale of old asset and while showing furniture in the balance sheet Rs. 800 will be deducted from its total book value.
