iv) Receipt of cash from Mr. Amar was posted to the debit of his account,
Rs. 5,000.
v) Payment of Rs. 23,950 for purchase was wrongly posted as Rs. 25,930.

b)
(i) Money Measurement Concept
According to this concept, in the books of accounts only such transactions which are capable of
being expressed in monetary terms are recorded. In other words, the information which cannot
be expressed in the terms of money is not included in according records. This is, of course,
because money is the only universally known way of comparing values. It is a useful way of
converting accounting data into a common unit. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make any
fair comparisons between various types of assets, or different types of transactions. Monetary
terms are used because money acts as a common unit of measurements and the different
transactions expressed in different units are brought to a common unit of measurement.
(ii)

Accrual Basis of Accounting

It is one of the methods of recording transactions by which revenue; costs, assets and liabilities
are reflected in the accounts in the period in which they accrue rather than giving consideration
to the actual receipt and payment of cash. The accrual basis of accounting includes
considerations relating to deferrals, allocations, depreciation and amortization. This basis is also
known as mercantile basis of accounting.

(iii) Endorsement
A cheque can be passed on by the payee to another person and by that person to someone else,
and so on, unless it is crossed "A/c Payee only" or the cheque otherwise restrict the payment to
a particular person only. A bearer cheque can be passed on by mere delivery nothing needs to
be written at the back of the cheque. If the cheque is made out in favour of any party or order,
that is, it is an order cheque; it can be passed on only by endorsement and delivery. A cheque
which has been "endorsed" but not delivered has not been really endorsed.
Endorsement means the writing of instructions to pay the cheque to a particular person and then
singing it. This is done at the back of the cheque. The signatures must have the same spelling as
mentioned on the face of the cheque.
