Here's the question bank on all the accountancy topics.

Which of these statements is false?

A.
At the end of the period, the income and expenditure account balances are transferred to receipts and payments accounts.
B.
The receipt and payment of capital as well as the nature of revenue are recorded in the receipts and payments accounts.
C.
The balance in the Receipts and Payments account at the end of the period shows the difference between the cash received and the amount paid.
D.
In the case of not-for-profit organizations, the income and expense account is the same as the profit and loss account and is drawn in the same manner.

Solution:

The incorrect option is At the end of the period, the income and expenditure account balances are transferred to receipts and payments accounts. In the receipts and payments account, both capital and revenue receipts and payments are recorded. So, option 2 is contextually correct. Since the receipts and payments account is nothing but a cashbook without a date column, its balance denotes the difference between the cash received and the amount paid. So, option 3 is also contextually correct. Income and expenses, in the case of not for profit organization, is prepared the same way as to profit and loss accounts in a firm. The expenses are debited and incomes are credited. Therefore, option 4 is also contextually correct. At the end of the period, the income and expenditure account balances are transferred to the Balance sheet and not in receipts and payments. Therefore, option 1 is incorrect.
