(ii) Sales returns of Rs.5,000 was charged to purchases. (iii) Accrued interest income of Rs.10,000 was overlooked. (iv) Payment of rent expenses of Rs.5,000 was wrongly recorded as receipt of rent income. (v) Sale of equipment for Rs.5,000 was credited to sales account, book value of the equipment was Rs.6,000. Record correcting entries in General Journal on December 31, SOLUTION 8 (a) (i) Conservatism: If a situation arises where there are two acceptable alternatives for reporting an item, conservatism directs the accountant to choose the alternative that will result in less net income and/or less asset amount. Conservatism helps the accountant to break a tie. It does not direct accountants to be conservative. Accountants are expected to be unbiased and objective. The basic accounting principle of conservatism leads accountants to anticipate or disclose losses, but it does not allow a similar action for gains. For example, potential losses from lawsuits will be reported on the financial statements or in the notes, but potential gains will not be reported. Also, an accountant may write inventory down to an account that is lower than the original cost, but will not write inventory up to an amount higher than the original cost. (ii) Going Concern: One of four fundamental accounting concepts. It is the assumption that an enterprise will continue in operation for the foreseeable future, i.e. that there is no intention and necessity to liquidate or significantly curtail the scale of the enterprise s operation. The implication of this principle is that assets are shown at cost, or at cost less depreciation, and not at their break-up values; it also assumes that liabilities applicable only on liquidation are not shown. The going concern value of a business is higher than the value that would be achieved by disposing of its individual assets, since it is assumed that the business has a continuing potential to earn profits. This assumption will underline the preparation of financial statements. If an auditor thinks that a business may not be a going concern, the auditors report should be qualified. Principles of Accounting B.Com Part I 2013 Private (Supplementary) Solution 13

15 (iii) Consistency: The concept requires the consistency of treatment of like items within each accounting period and from one period to the next; it also requires that accounting policies are consistently applied. Rather, an entity is required to implement those principles that are judged most appropriate to its circumstances for the purpose of giving a true and fair view. Comparability is held to be a more important characteristic of financial statements than consistency. (iv) Materiality: The characteristic of accounting information that focuses on how important the information is to making decisions. If the amount of the error or the amount left out of the report is big enough to affect the decision-making process, then that item is considered material. (v) Historical Cost: A way of valuing assets that is measured by the amount of cash it takes to buy the asset and get it into use. Delivery costs, installation costs, sales tax, and calibration costs for technical equipment are included. SOLUTION 8 (b) M/S.
