A Normal Doubt comes to your mind in the first and fourth
example in previous slide how to get the value. We should not be
taking the Purchase value, but we should take the Market value on
the date of transferring the assets to Business. This is an
exception to cost concept only in case of transfer to another
business
Ex: If Owners Equity is 600000 and Liabilities are 400000, then Total
Asset = 1000000

Cost Concept
Assets are always shown at their Cost and not at
their current Market Value
Ex 1. A Land Purchased for Rs.5 Lacs will be
recorded only at Rs.5 Lacs even though Market
value may be lower say Rs.4 Lacs or Higher Rs.6
Lacs than the Cost Price
Remember still Entities can have different accounting period for their own
Internal Management Reporting
A Company in India can have for Company Law Purpose (Jan-Dec) Year
and Income Tax Purpose (Apr-Mar) Year and for own internal Reporting
(Jul-Jun) Year
Note: The Entities cannot change their accounting period without getting
proper approval only in case of Companies Act and not possible with
Income Tax Authorities.
