    E Revenue expense, business entity concept Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Non-Current assets like fixed assets are a result of Capital Expenditures. Depreciation is charged on long term fixed assets.  Since the Non-Current Assets give the benefits for more than one year therefore, the cost cannot be taken as expense in the year of acquisition. As such, the matching concept is applied to charge depreciation over the useful life of the non-current asset.
