If any capital expenditure is wrongly shown as revenue expenditure (for example, purchase of furniture shown as purchases), it will result in __________ of profits and also an __________ of assets.

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2019 (Tier 2) GS Finance & Economics Previous Year Paper (17-Nov-2020)
The correct answer is

understatement, under statement

If capital expenditure is mistakenly classified as revenue expenditure, it will lead to an understatement of profits (since expenses are overstated) and an understatement of assets (since the expenditure was not capitalized as an asset). The correct treatment of such expenditure ensures that both profits and asset values are accurately stated.
