    The correct option is (A) Original. Journal entry is the book of the original entry. It is because every event or transaction which is of monetary nature is first recorded in the journal. The transactions recorded in the journal are known as journal entries.

    Journal follows the double-entry system of accounting. It means a journal entry affects at least two accounts. It is from the journal entries, the ledger accounts are prepared. For example, the transaction, ‘sale of goods for Rs 1000 for cash’ affects two accounts. The journal entry is:

    There are many special journals that record some special set of transactions which are called subsidiary journals or daybooks. Such special journals are not considered the books of original entry.

    Option (B) Duplicate is wrong. It is because the journal is the book where monetary events and transactions are recorded. It cannot be the book of duplicate entries. There is no such thing as ‘book of duplicate entry.’

    Option (C) Personal is wrong. Personal is a type of account under the golden rules of accounting. A personal account is a type of account that represents a person. But, the journal is not an account, it is a book. Also, there is no such thing as book of personal entry.

    Option (D) Nominal is wrong. Nominal is also a type of account under the golden rules of accounting. The nominal account is a type of account that represents an income, expense, gain or loss. Journal is a type of account but a book.

    The partnership act 1932 does not mention the types of partners specifically. It does have mentions of ‘partner who is minor’ in section 30 and ‘partner by holding out in section 28.

    But we do come across many types of partners in partnership firms. Following is the list of the types of partners we generally see:-

    1. Active partner: – It is the partner who provides the capital and is also actively involved in the management and daily activities of the firm. Such a type of partner is of utmost importance to the firm. Apart from a share in profit and loss, he is also eligible to draw remuneration from the firm.

     

    1. Sleeping/ Dormant partner: – This type of partner does not participate in the daily workings of the firm nor actively participates in the management of the firm. Such a type of partner has a large sum of capital invested in the firm and shares the profits as well as losses of the firm.

     

    1. Partner by holding out:- If any partner, who by his words or by his conduct, represents himself as a partner of a firm, then he is called a partner by holding out. Such a partner is actually not a partner of the firm and doesn’t receive any share of profit as he has contributed no capital.

    As per section 28, such a partner is liable to any person who has given credit to the firm on             the belief that he is a partner of the firm.

     

    1. Minor partner: – If any person who is less than 18 years of age is admitted into the firm, such partner is known as a minor partner. Such a partner is entitled to the profits of the firm based on his capital but is immune from losses suffered by the firm.

     

    1. Secret partner: – It is a partner of a firm whose membership is kept hidden from the outsiders such as creditors and other third parties. But he is equally liable as other partners for the outside liabilities.

     

    1. Outgoing partner: – A partner who voluntarily leaves the partnership without dissolving the firm is called an outgoing partner or retiring partner. Such a partner is liable to all liabilities incurred before his retirement. But he can be held liable to outside liabilities if he fails to give public notice of his retirement.

    To proceed with how to make a partnership deed, let me explain to you in short what is partnership deed?

    A partnership deed is the written agreement between the partners who have agreed to share profits of a business carried on by them. This basically contains terms and conditions to be followed between the partners.

    Few contents of the partnership deed are as follows:

    • Name, address, and type of business of the partnership firm.
    • Name & address of all the partners
    • Profit-sharing ratio.
    • Rights, duties, and liabilities of all partners.
    • Date of commencement of the partnership
    • Method of settlement of dispute among the partners.
    • Treatment of loss in case of insolvency of one or more partners.

     

    Generally, a partnership deed contains all those matters which can affect the relationship between the partners. However, if there is no such agreement the partnership should follow the provisions mentioned under The Partnership Act, 1932.

    Now coming to the main question how to make a partnership deed? See the process is not so complicated. The partnership deed may be oral or written, but as the oral agreement has no value for obtaining tax benefits, a partnership firm always prefers a written agreement.

    To prepare the same the partnership deed must be prepared on a stamp paper and signed by all the partners as per Indian Stamp Act and copies of the same should be with all the partners and also must be filed by the registrar of the firm.

    A deed may vary depending on the nature of the partnership they are engaged in. Generally, partnerships are of three types

    • General partnership
    • Limited partnership
    • Limited liability partnership

    the process of making deed is same for all but, the content of deed may vary depending on the liability of partners in the partnership.

    Further to know more about the registration process of partnership firm you can refer the following link https://www.mca.gov.in/Ministry/actsbills/pdf/Partnership_Act_1932.pdf

    Debit balance means excess of credit side over debit side.

    For Example- At the beginning of the year the debit balance of trade receivables is 3,000 and there is a decrease(credit) of trade receivables of 1,000 during the year and an increase(debit) of trade receivables of 4,000 then at the end there will be a debit balance of 6,000 of trade receivables at the end

    A Debit balance basically signifies all expenses and losses and all positive balances of assets. The debit balance increases when any asset increases and decreases when any asset decreases.

    Assets

    All the assets that appear in the balance sheet always have a debit balance. The debit balance under it will increase as it debits. Some of these assets can be illustrated below -:

    •  Cash and Bank Balance: Cash and Bank Balance means the amount that is held by a person in physical form or in a current/savings account.
    • Property, Plant, and Equipment-  Property Plant, and Equipment means assets that are used for the production of goods and services.
    • Account Receivables– Account Receivables means the amount that is due from debtors to whom goods were sold at credit for a specified time period.
    • Inventory – Inventory means goods that are used in the normal course of business.
    • Investments– Investments are the amount invested in other companies from which they were expecting returns in future periods.

     

    Expenses and Losses

    All expenses that appear on the debit side of the P&L account have a debit balance in their accounts.

    For eg-: A rent of 10,000 is given to the landlord under which the work has been done by the entity.

    For eg-: A depreciation of 10% is there on an asset of 12,000 will result in a debit balance under depreciation in the P&L Account.

    Some of the following expenses can be illustrated below

    • Rent- Rent means a property that an entity takes on lease for business purpose and pay a certain amount to the landlord for such lease.
    • Depreciation– Depreciation means a fall in the value of an asset due to its usage every year
    • Loss on Sale of an asset- Loss on the Sale of an Asset means the sale amount of the asset is less than its WDV
    • Printing and stationery– Printing and Stationery means the paperwork or anything related to stationery used for business purposes
    • Audit fees– Audit fees are the amount which is given to an auditor for auditing the financials of an entity
    • Salaries and Wages– Salaries and Wages are the amount given to employees for the work they have done for the entity
    • Insurance– Insurance means a premium given by an entity for insurance done by them
    • Advertising– Advertising means any promotion that a company does of its product to increase its revenue

    So after seeing all the above points we can conclude that the debit balance includes all the expenses that are in the P&L account and all the assets that are there in the Balance sheet. So its balance increases when there is an increase in its account.

     

    CREDIT BALANCE

    Credit balance means excess of credit side over debit side.

    For example, At the beginning of the year, the credit balance of trade payable is 3,000 and there is a debit of trade payable of 1,000 during the year and an increase(credit) of trade payable of 4,000 then at end there will be a credit balance of 6,000 for trade payable at the end

    .A Credit balance signifies all income and gains and all liabilities and capital that is there in business.

    Liabilities

    • Account Payables
    • Bank Overdraft
    • Bonds
    • Income Tax Payables
    • Notes Payable
    • Deferred Tax Liability

     

    Income and Gains

    • Interest Received
    • Dividend Received
    • Rent Received
    • Gains on Sale of Capital Gains

    Trading A/c is a nominal account which follows the rule "Debit all expenses and losses, Credit all incomes and gains".

    Trading A/c is a nominal account which follows the rule “Debit all expenses and losses, Credit all incomes and gains”.

    So, all expenses relating to the purchase or manufacturing of goods are shown on the debit side of the Trading A/c. It includes Opening Stock, Purchases, Wages, Carriage Inward, Manufacturing Expenses, Dock charges, and other direct expenses that are directly related to the manufacturing or purchase.

     

    TRADING ACCOUNT

    Trading A/c is prepared for calculating the Gross Profit or Gross Loss arising from the trading activities of a business.

    Trading activities are mostly related to buying and selling of goods. However, in between buying and selling, a lot of activities are involved like transportation, warehousing, etc. So, all the expenses that are directly related to manufacturing or purchase of goods are also recorded in the Trading A/c.

     

     

    DEBIT SIDE OF TRADING A/C

    The items shown on the Dr. side are,

    OPENING STOCK – Stock is nothing but goods that are either obtained for resale or manufactured for sale and are yet unsold on any particular date.

    The value of stock at the beginning of an accounting year is called Opening stock while the value of the stock at the end of an accounting year is called closing stock.

    The closing stock of the last year becomes the opening stock of the current year.

    Opening stock includes,

    1. Opening Stock of Raw materials
    2. Opening Stock of Semi-finished goods
    3. Opening Stock of Finished goods

    For example – Suppose you are in the business of manufacturing and trading shirts. On 31st March 2023, there was unused raw material worth $10,000 and shirts worth $50,000 remained unsold.

    So, we have Closing Stock of Raw material – $10,000

    Closing Stock of Finished Goods – $50,000

    This closing stock of last year becomes your opening stock during the current year i.e. on 1st April 2023, we have

    Opening Stock of raw material – $10,000

    Opening Stock of Finished Goods – $50,000

    PURCHASES – Goods that have been bought for resale or raw materials purchased for manufacturing the product are terms as Purchases. These goods must be related to the business you are doing.

    It includes cash as well as credit Purchases.

    Continuing with the above example, suppose you bought raw material worth $ 1,00,000 for manufacturing and shirts worth $50,000 for resale (and not for personal consumption) then both these will be termed as purchases for you. So, your purchases will be $1,50,000 ($1,00,000 + $50,000)

    PURCHASES RETURN – When goods bought are returned to the suppliers due to any reason. This is known as Purchase return. Purchase return is deducted from the Purchases.

    In the above example, you bought shirts worth $50,000 for resale. Out of which shirts worth $20,000 were defective. So, you returned them to the supplier. This return of $20,000 is your purchase return or return outwards (as goods are going out)

    WAGES – Wages are paid to the workers who are directly engaged in the loading, unloading and production of goods.

    For example – Paid $10,000 to workers for manufacturing shirts.

    However, it would be included in Trading A/c only if the wages are paid for work which is directly related to the manufacturing or purchase of goods otherwise it will be shown in P&L A/c.

    Suppose you hired a manager to take care of your business and paid him $20,000 as salary. This salary is indeed an expense for the business but is not directly related to the manufacturing of goods. Since it is an indirect expense, it can only be recorded in P&L  A/c and not in the Trading A/c.

    CARRIAGE or CARRIAGE INWARDS or FREIGHT – It refers to the cost of transporting goods from the supplier.

    Suppose, you ordered raw material in bulk which was transported to you by a van and you paid its fare. This fare is nothing but your carriage inwards.

    However, if carriage or freight is paid on bringing an asset, the amount should be added to the asset account and must not be debited to the trading account.

    MANUFACTURING EXPENSES – All expenses incurred in the manufacture of goods such as  Coal, Gas, Fuel, Water, Power, Factory rent, Factory lighting etc.

    DOCK CHARGES – These are charged by port authorities when unloading goods at a dock or wharf. Such charges paid in connection with goods purchased are considered direct expenses and are debited to Trading a/c.

    IMPORT DUTY or CUSTOM DUTY – It is a tax collected on imports and specific exports by a country’s customs authorities. If import duty is paid on the import of goods, then they are shown on the Dr. side of the Trading A/c.

    For example –  Paid $15,000 as import duty for importing shirts for resale.

    ROYALTY – Royalty refers to the amount paid for the use of assets belonging to another person. It includes royalty for the use of intangible assets, such as copyrights, trademarks, or franchisee agreements. It is also paid for the use of natural resources, such as mining leases.

    Royalty is charged to the Trading A/c as it increases the cost of production.

    GROSS PROFIT – When sales exceed the amount of purchases and the expenses directly connected with such purchases i.e. when Credit side> Debit side.

     

    CREDIT SIDE OF TRADING A/C

    SALES – When goods are sold to earn a profit, it is called sales. It can be cash sales or credit sales.

    SALES RETURN – When the goods sold are returned by the customer, it is known as a sales return. Sales return is deducted from the sales.

    CLOSING STOCK – The goods remaining unsold at the end of the year are termed as closing stock. It is valued at cost price or market price whichever is less.

    GROSS LOSS – If purchases and direct expenses exceed sales, then it is a Gross loss. In other words, when Debit side > Credit side.

    Fictitious assets

    On seeing or hearing ‘fictitious’, the words which come to our mind are ‘not true, ‘fake’ or ‘fantasy’. So, fictitious assets are those items that appear on the assets side of the balance sheet but are actually not assets.

    In substance, fictitious assets are the expenses and losses that are not completely written off in a financial year and are required to be carried forward to the next financial year.

    The examples of fictitious assets are as follows:

    1. Deferred Advertisement expense
    2. Loss on the issue of debentures.
    3. Debit balance of Profit and Loss account ( Net loss )*
    4. Preliminary expenses.

    Fictitious assets appear on the asset side of the balance sheet as expenses and losses have a debit balance.

    *when the balance sheet is prepared as per Schedule III of Companies Act, the Net loss is shown as a negative figure under the head Reserve and Surplus.

    Intangible Assets

    Intangible assets mean the assets which don’t have any physical existence. They cannot be seen or touched but are assets because they do provide future economic benefits to the business. Like tangible assets (like machinery and building), they can be also created, purchased or sold.

    Like tangible assets are depreciated, intangible assets are gradually written over by amortization over their useful lifespan to account for the economic benefits provided by them.

    Following are the examples of intangible assets:

    1. Goodwill
    2. Brand name
    3. Trademark
    4. Patents
    5. Copyrights

    Intangible assets which are created by the business-like goodwill or brand recognition do not appear in the balance sheet.

    Only acquired intangible assets can be shown in the balance sheet. Like purchased goodwill, patents, trademarks etc.

    Intangible assets also face impairment if their fair value is less than their carrying value after deducting amortization expense. The difference between carrying value and fair value is shown in the Profit and loss A/c as impairment charge and the asset is valued at fair value in the balance sheet.

    Based on duration, expenses can be categorized as capital expenditure and revenue expenditure.

    A) Capital expenditure or CAPEX are those funds that are used to acquire or maintain or enhance long-term assets. Such expenses do not occur frequently and are incurred to enhance the company’s utility in the long-term i.e. more than one year.

    The formula of CAPEX can be given as –

    Capital expenditure = Net increase in PP & E + Depreciation Expense

    . It is showed in companies’ cash flow statement and in its Balance Sheet under the head of fixed assets. These capital expenditures are capitalized.

    List of some capital expenses –

    • Buildings (Including costs of purchase and other cost that extend the useful life of a building)
    • Computer equipment (Cost of purchase and installation cost)
    • Office equipment (Purchase cost)
    • Furniture and fixtures (Cost of purchase and installation cost)
    • Intangible assets (i.e. patent, trademark)
    • Land (Including the cost of purchasing and upgrading the land)
    • Machinery (Purchase cost and costs that bring the equipment to its location and for its intended use)
    • Software (Installation cost)
    • Vehicles

    Example- If an asset costs Rs10,000 when bought and installation cost is Rs2000. The total capital expenditure will be Rs12000 and is expected to be in use for five years, Rs2,500 may be charged to depreciation in each year over the next five years.

    B) Revenue expenditure or OPEX are those expenses that are incurred during its course of the operation. It can also be termed as  total expenses that are incurred by firms through their production activities. Such costs do not result in asset creation, and the benefits resulting from it are limited to one accounting year. These are for managing operational activities and revenue within a given accounting period.

    The accounting treatment for revenue expenditure for an accounting period is shown in a companies Income Statement, but it is not recorded in the firm’s Balance Sheet. OPEX is not capitalized and depreciation is not levied on such expenses.

    Examples for revenue expenditures are as follows –

    • Direct expenses

    These types of expenses are mostly incurred directly through the production process. Common direct expenses include – direct wages, freight charge, rent, material cost, legal expenses, and electricity cost.

    • Indirect expenses

    These expenses are indirectly related to production like during sale, distribution, and management of finished goods or services. They include expenses like selling salaries, repairs, interest, commission, depreciation, rent, and taxes, among others.
