What is the accounting treatment for sponsoring Sports and what type of expenses r these either Capital expenditure or Revenue and if revenue then r these Selling and marketing or General and administrative expenses?
For example PEPSI supports Pakistan Cricket team, National Bank sponsors Pakistan Hockey Team similarly KPT(Karachi Port Trust) supports SNOOKER players. Now how do these companies treat these expenses.

Hello!

Offcourse that type of expenses affect the goodwill of the business. But you donnot need to to calculate the goodwill of a busines in its normal course of trading. The only factor that raises the calculation of goodwill is when the business is being sold. Even then there is no set rule for the calculation of goodwill as it is just a market valuation.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Regards
Mubeen

The main purpose of the advertisement expenses is to promote one's business and get return. such return can be in the form of goodwill, the related question of which does not arise in the normal course of nusiness. the other form of return is the income. follow> more projection> more orders> more income, got?
