  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Recording of capital contributed by the owner as liability ensures the adherence of principle of ______________.
    Solution
    The concept of business entity assumes that business has a distinct and separate entity from its owners. It means that for the purposes of accounting, the business and its owners are to be treated as two separate entities. Keeping this in view, when a person brings in some money as capital into his business, in accounting records, it is treated as liability of the business to the owner. 
    Here, one separate entity (owner) is assumed to be giving money to another distinct entity (business unit). 
    Similarly, when the owner withdraws any money from the business for his personal expenses(drawings), it is treated as reduction of the owner’s capital and consequently a reduction in the liabilities of the business. 
    Hence, the accounting records are made in the book of accounts from the point of view of the business unit and not that of the owner.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    According to money measurement concept, the following will be recorded in the books of account_________________.
    Solution

    All such transactions or happenings which can not be expressed in monetary terms, for example, the appointment of a manager, do not find a place in the accounting records of a firm. 
    Another important aspect of the concept of money measurement is that the records of the transactions are to be kept not in the physical units but in the monetary unit.
    Hence, in the above case, only value of building will be recorded in the books of accounts.
