Answer  
(a) (i) True: Conservatism states that the accountant should not anticipate any future income, 
however they should provide for all possible losses. 
(ii) False: The Cinema Hall could not be started without license. Expenditure incurred to 
obtain the license is pre-operative expense and hence it is to be capitalised. Such 
expenses are amortised over a period of time.  
(iii) True: If an amount is posted in the wrong account or it is written on the wrong side or 
the totals are wrong or a wrong balance is struck, it will be a case of “errors of 
commission.”  Thus, under or over casting of subsidiary books is an example of error 
of commission. 
(iv) False: To increase the sale and to encourage the consignee to make credit sales, the 
consignor provides an additional commission generally known as del-credere 
commission. In case del-credere commission is provided to consignee, bad debts is 
no more the loss of the consignor and it is borne by the consignee. 
(v) True: Perpetual debentures, also known as irredeemable debentures are not 
repayable during the life time of the company. 
(vi) False: Overhead is defined as total cost of indirect material, indirect wages and 
indirect expenses. Indirect material, wages and expenses cannot be directly linked to 
unit produced.  
(b)   (i) Materiality refers to all relatively important and relevant items, i.e., items the knowledge 
of which might influence the decisions of the user of the financial statements are disclosed 
in the financial statements. 
(ii) Conservatism states that the accountant should not anticipate any future income 
however they should provide for all possible losses. When there are many alternative 
values of an asset, an accountant should choose the method which leads to the lesser 
value.  
(iii) Extraordinary items are income or expenses that arise from events or transactions 
that are clearly distinct from the ordinary activities of the enterprise and, therefore, are 
not expected to recur frequently or regularly. 
(iv) Floating charge is a general charge on some or all assets of an enterprise which are 
not attached to specific assets and are given as security against a debt.
