Advertisement expenditure ₹21000 appears as an asset in balance sheet and is to be written off on admission. What is the treatment?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Revaluation Account debit ₹21000

Direct answer: Revaluation Account is debited by ₹21,000, so option A is correct. Advertisement expenditure shown as an asset is a deferred or fictitious asset in this context. If it must be completely written off on admission, its book value is removed from the balance sheet. Removing an asset reduces the firm’s net assets and creates a revaluation loss. Therefore Revaluation Account is debited ₹21,000, while the advertisement expenditure asset is credited or written off. Option B is wrong because a credit would represent a gain, whereas writing off an asset causes a loss. Option C is wrong because the advertisement account is not debited when it is being eliminated; it is credited. Option D is wrong because the adjustment is made through Revaluation Account, not directly against the new partner. Memory cue: asset written off means debit revaluation.
