Answer / dave
first of all,defered revenue expenditure is an expenditure
of revenue nature whose benefits are availed for more than
one accounting period. the expenditure had been incurred in
a particular year but its benefits will be enjoyed not only
in that year but also in years to come. so the cost
(expenditure) is capitalised and spread over the years in
which the benefits will be enjoyed. for example, R & D
costs 50,000 naira for the beenfit of 5 years.thus, 10,000
naira would be charge to P & L account every year till the
end of the 5th year.in the balance sheet, it is a current
asset item ( you can viewed it as prepaid expenditure, i
mean u treat it like the way u do to prepayments.)

Answer / sreepad
Yes, Deferred Revenue expenditure is an expenditure which gives benefits for more than one year. So, we have to proportionate the expense to several years.
Example : Sachin's Advertisement contract for Adidas for 4yrs is 20 crores, for which he will participate in all promotional events for the firm.
the deferred period will be 4 years. 5crores for each year if we proportionate equally.
But, I have one question - how can we define the benefits for each year?
Do we proportionate the benefit as per the revenue generated by the expenditure or do we have any set of rules/calculation methods/theories to define this?
The proportionate expense is taken in the P&L account for the first year and where will we show the remaining expense?
what are the Journal entries?
People please share your knowledge & thoughts.
