Which of the following expenditure is of capital nature:

Postage on mailing of Share Certificates
Payment of Underwriting Commission on issue of Shares
Bank charges for payment of dividend warrants
Expenses on printing of Annual Report

The correct answer is A. Postage on mailing of Share Certificates.

Expenditure of a capital nature is an expenditure that is incurred in the acquisition of an asset that will be used for the production of income over a period of time. The expenditure on postage on mailing of Share Certificates is an expenditure that is incurred in the acquisition of an asset, which is the Share Certificates. The Share Certificates will be used for the production of income over a period of time, as they represent ownership of a share in the company.

The other options are not of capital nature.
