error of principle occurs when a transaction has been entered on the right side of the wrong class of account- hence i settle for answer B on the first question coz research and dvlpmnt costs myt b treated as capital expenditure therefore it wld b wrong to treat revenue expenditure as research and dvlpmt costs coz they belong to different classes…
for your second question i wld go for error of commission coz the transaction was entered in the right class(both machinery and goodwill are assets) but in a wrong real (personal) account and this suit the definition of error of commission..
