Capital and expenditure

 Distinguish between and account for capital expenditure and revenue expenditure
 Distinguish and account for capital receipts and revenue receipts
 Calculate and comment on the effect on profit of incorrect treatment
 Calculate and comment on the effect on asset valuations of incorrect treatment

Difference between capital and revenue (expenditure and receipts)

Capital expenditure is incurred when a business spends money either to:


• buy non-current assets; or
• add to the value of an existing non-current asset.
Included in such amounts should be spending on:
• acquiring non-current assets
• bringing them into the business
• legal costs of buying buildings
• carriage inwards on machinery bought
• any other cost needed to get a non-current asset ready for use.

Expenditure which is not spent on increasing the value of non-current assets, but is incurred in
running the business on a day-to-day basis, is known as revenue expenditure.

Capital receipts
Definition:
income obtained from investment and financing activities of the business
benefit will last for more than one accounting period
recorded as non-current liabilities or capital
Examples:
Issuance of shares
Capital contribution from owner

Loan from financial institutions/banks


Government grants
7.4 Revenue receipts
Definition:
income obtained through normal business operations
benefit last within one accounting period
recorded as income
Examples:
Sales of goods
Discount received
Interest income
Divid end income

The list price of the equipment was £9,999 but Drake Ltd was able to negotiate a price of £8,000 with
the supplier. Flowever, the supplier charged an additional £680 to install and test the equipment. The
supplier offered a 5% discount if Drake Ltd paid for the equipment and the additional installation costs
within seven days. Drake Ltd was able to take advantage of this additional discount. The installation of
special electrical wiring for the network cost £220. After initial testing certain modifications costing
£398 proved necessary. Staff were sent on special training courses to operate the network and this cost
£1,980. Napa Ltd insured the network against fire and theft at a cost of £49 per annum. A maintenance
agreement was entered into under this agreement Callus promised to provide 24-hour breakdown cover
for one year. The cost of the maintenance agreement was £700.

Q9.A Bloggs, a building contractor, had a wooden store shed and a brick-built office which have
balances b/d in the books of £850 and £179,500 respectively. During the year, the wooden shed was
pulled down at a cost of £265, and replaced by a brick building. Some of the timber from the old store
shed was sold for £180 and the remainder, valued at £100, was used in making door frames, etc., for
the new store. The new brick-built store was constructed by the builder's own employees, the
expenditure thereon being materials (excluding timber from the old store shed) £4,750; wages
£3,510; and direct expenses of £85.
At about the same time, certain repairs and alterations were carried out to the office, again using the
builder's own materials, the cost of which was: wages £290 and materials £460. It was estimated that
£218 of this expenditure, being mainly that incurred on providing additional windows, represented
improvements, 50% of this being wages, 50% materials.
Required:
Prepare the following four ledger accounts as they would appear after giving effect to all the above
matters:
(a) Wooden store shed account
(b) Office buildings account
(c) New store account

Depreciation
 Define depreciation
 Explain the reasons for accounting for depreciation
 Name and describe the straight-line, reducing balance and revaluation methods of
depreciation
 Prepare ledger accounts and journal entries for the provision of depreciation
 Prepare ledger accounts and journal entries to record the sale of non-current assets,
including the use of disposal accounts

Definition:
Depreciation is that part of the original cost of a non-current asset that is consumed during its period
of use by the business. It needs to be charged to the profit and loss account every year. The amount
charged in a year for depreciation is based upon an estimate of how much of the overall economic
usefulness of non-current assets has been used up in that accounting period.

Causes of depreciation

1) Wear and tear


2) Erosion,rust
3) Obsolesce
4) Inadequacy
5) Passage of time
6) Legal limit

Straight-line method of depreciation

Formula:

( Cost - Scrap value) OR Cost × Rate of depreciation (%)


Life of the year

Effect on Profit for the year:

Depreciation expenses remains constant over the asset's useful life


Effect on profit for the year is constant

Reducing-balance method of deprecia on

Formula:

( Cost - Accumulated depreciation ) × Rate of depreciation (%)


20

Effect on Profit for the year:

Depreciation expenses decreases over the asset's useful life


Profit for the year increases as depreciation expenses decreases

Revaluation method of depreciation


Formula:

Value of asset + Purchases - Disposal - Value of asset


at start of during the year during the year at end of
accounting year accounting year

Disposal of fixed assets

When a fixed asset reaches the end of its useful life or when it is no longer needed by the business, it
will be sold. It is important that sales of fixed assets are not treated in the same way as sales of stock in
trade. When fixed assets are purchased this is known as capital expenditure and the asset is recorded
in a fixed asset account rather than the purchases account. When fixed assets are sold this is known as
a capital receipt and the transaction is recorded in a special account, a disposal of fixed asset account,
rather than the sales account.

When a fixed asset is sold it must be eliminated from the books of account. The cost of the asset and
the depreciation to date on the asset are transferred from the appropriate accounts to the disposal
account. The amount received for the fixed asset is also entered in the account. Any difference on the
account is the profit or loss on sale - in other Words the under or over-provision of depreciation. It is
only when the asset is sold that the actual amount of depreciation is known; until this time the
depreciation is only an estimate. The disposal account will be closed by transferring the difference on
the account (the profit or loss on sale) to the Profit and Loss Account.

Similar entries are required when a fixed asset is disposed of but not actually sold. It may be that an
asset is handed to a supplier in part- exchange for another fixed asset: it may be that the asset is scrapped
and has no value whatsoever.

Practice question

Q1. D. Bell purchased a laptop for £480. It has an estimated life of three years and a scrap value of
£60.
She is not certain whether she should use the straight line or the reducing balance basis for the
purpose of calculating depreciation on the computer.
You are required to calculate the depreciation (to the nearest £) using both methods, showing clearly
the balance remaining in the computer account at the end of each of the four years under each method.
(Assume that 50 per cent per annum is to be used for the reducing balance method.)

DRAWINGS
Sometimes the owners of a business will want to take cash out of it for their private use. This is known as
drawings. Drawings are never expenses of a business.
The possession withdrawn from the business, e.g., cash, is the Item exchanged. It has now decreased, so the
account for that item is a credit. The entry in the account for the Form of settlement must be a debit.
In the case of drawings, the Form of settlement is 'capital' but we use a 'drawings account' for the entry. The
reason for this is that if we made the entry in the capital account, it could become.
very full of lots of small drawings transactions. As a result, it is normal practice to maintain.
a separate account for drawings and to deduct the total of the drawings account from capital at the end of each
year.
