Question #1
S1: An error of principle occurs when a transaction is recorded in the wrong class of account. S2: An error of omission occurs when a transaction is completely omitted from the books. Which statement(s) is/are correct?
A. Neither S1 nor S2
B. S2 only
C. Both S1 and S2
D. S1 only

Question #2
A firm's working capital is ₹50,000, current ratio 2.5:1. Its quick ratio is 1.5:1. Inventory value is:
A. ₹25,000
B. ₹40,000
C. ₹30,000
D. ₹20,000

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
WC = CA - CL = 60,000. CA/CL = 3 => CA = 3CL. So 3CL - CL = 60,000 => 2CL = 60,000 => CL = 30,000, CA = 90,000. QA/CL = 1 => QA = 30,000. Inventory = CA - QA = 90,000 - 30,000 = ₹60,000.
