What about inventory, it is also an asset. The purchase of inventory would be a capital expenditure or a revenue expenditure??
The purchase of goods for resale is revenue expenditure. Only non-current assets are capital expenditure.

Hello, Where can i get more practise at the equation net asstes = capital etc , question,
Hi, could anybody help me with this question please? Aubrey made a profit for the year of $345.687 and has closing net assets of $435.195. During the financial year, capital of $60.000 was introduced which consisted of $40.000 in cash and €20.000 in non -current assets. Drawings of $6.000 were taken out of the business each month. What was the opening capital balance? After watching a fantastic lecture on open tuition, I tried to use the formulae but am not really understanding if I’m using it right. So here it is… 435.195= 60.000+345.687-72.000 then 435.195 less 333.687 =101.508 Does that look right as I don’t really understand if that’s anywhere close to the answer? Many thanks in advance…
What you have done is correct 🙂
(I don’t have my calculator with me because I am on vacation, but in my head it seems correct 🙂 )
Thanks a lot 🙂
Hi,
Closing Net assets=Opening Net assets+introduced+profit-drawing, so
435.195=x+345.687+60000-72000
x=12089.508
Your equation is correct, but you have put the numbers in wrongly!!
If you are going to put closing net assets as 435.195 (instead of 435195) then you need to put profit as 60.0 and drawings as 72.0. So your final answer is wrong!
Given: Profit = 345,687, Net Assets = 435,195, investment = 60,000, withdrawal = 6,000*12 = 72,000
Required : Opening Capital = X
Opening Capital + investment + profit – withdrawal = ending capital
Net asset = Total assets – Total liablties= Ending capital = 435,195, given above
X +60,000 + 345687 -72,000 = 435,195
x = 435,195 – 333,687 =101,508
Check!
Opening Capital + investment + profit – withdrawal = ending capital
101,508 +60000 +345687-72000= 435 195
435,195 = 435,195
Thanks 🙂
Surely other factors from withdrawals, increase in capital and increase in profit can change the net assets figure for a company: such as an increase in the value of buildings owned i.e. appreciation…
Appreciation will only be relevant if there is a revaluation. This is not something that will happen often. If is really only limited companies that will do this, and it is dealt with in a letter chapter (on limited companies).
For a sole trader there is nothing else that will change net assets other than what is dealt with in this lecture.
the lectures are simple to understand its really helpful to me
thanks alot

how can we match the answers of test questions?
can’t solve question 3
@aminah2010, The answers are on page 199 of the notes.

By definition, capital expenditure is spending on acquiring assets while revenue expenditure is spending on expenses. Inventory is an asset, how is spending thereon classifies?

I am not sure but I think if you spend money on bying an inventory (assets not bills ) it could be capital expenditure.
thanks a mill great revision
