Answer / h.r. sreepada bhagi

Assets are arranged in the reverse or descending order of
liquidity. I.e the least liquid assets are listed first &
the most liquid assets follow down.

Exception are Deferred Revenue Expenditure, Pre-Operative
Expenditure, Preliminary Expenditure, etc. under
Miscellaneous Expenditure, to be charged off over a
reasonable period of time (More than one accounting period)
and Debit Balance in the Profit & Loss A/c (i.e. Carried
Forward Loss), since these are not real assets.
