Regarding miscellaneous expenditures, 12th class TS Grewal book (supplement- preface- silent feature page) says that Unamortised portion of Miscellanous expenditures MUST either be adjusted against securities premium account or debited to statement of profit and loss.
Some other books and NCERT supplement guidelines say that: The unamortised portion of such expenditures should be shown under "Other current assets" or "Other non current assets" depending on whether they will be amortised in the next 12 months or thereafter.
These two methods seem to be contradicting each other. Which of the above methods is right. Can we call both of them right Please also suggest some study material (book) to get more clarificaiton.
