Question 40 (3 of 3 Based on Passage)

Write in Short Short Answer▾

Explain why fixed assets appear on the assets side.

Edit

Explanation

Assets which are acquired for permanent use in the business and are not meant for resale are called fixed. Such assets are purchased once and last for many years such as goodwill, land, buildings, leaseholds, railway sidings, plant and machinery, furniture, development of property, patents, live-stock, vehicles etc.

  • In case of fixed assets, original cost of each asset, additions made during the year, cost of the asset sold during the year and the total depreciation provided on each asset up to the end of the year are to be stated separately.
  • If all such details cannot be conveniently included in the balance of sheet itself, a separate schedule containing all such details will be annexed to the balance of sheet and it will form a part of the balance sheet.
