A Level Accounting (9706)•9706/12/M/J/20
Question 2 from 9706/12/M/J/20

Explanation

Capital income arises from selling long-term assets, not everyday operations.

Steps:

  • Define capital income as gains from disposing of capital assets like property or equipment, distinct from regular business earnings.
  • Review each option to classify if it's from asset sales or operational activities.
  • Eliminate options tied to ongoing income streams like interest, rent, or sales.
  • Confirm the remaining option matches capital asset disposal.

Why B is correct:

  • Proceeds from selling business premises qualify as capital income under accounting standards, as premises are fixed capital assets, not inventory.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Bank interest is revenue income from investments, recurring and operational.
  • C: Rental income is revenue from property use, not asset sale.
  • D: Sale of inventory generates revenue income from core business trading.

Final answer: B

Topic: Accounting for non-current assets
