(ii) As per para 32 of AS 13 Accounting for Investments’, investment classified as long term investments should be carried in the financial statements at cost. However, provision for diminution shall be made to recognize a decline, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction being determined and made for each investment individually.

There is a clear-cut evidence of decline in the market share of the company and the investment will not fetch more than ₹ 20,000.

Thus, provision of ₹ 1,80,000 should be made to reduce the carrying amount of long-term investment to ₹ 20,000 in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2009.

Right Issue (Based On Para No. 13)

Question 4.
A company offers new shares of ₹ 100 each at 25% premium to existing shareholders on the basis one for five shares. The cum-right market price of a share is ₹ 200.

Ex-right value of the shares

= (₹ 200 × 5 Shares + ₹ 125 × 1 Share)/(5 + 1) Shares
= ₹ 1,125/6 shares = ₹ 187.50 per share.
Value of right = Cum-right value of the share – Ex-right value of the share
= ₹ 200 – ₹ 187.50 = ₹ 12.50 per share.

In the above case, shares purchased on 31st October, 2015, will be valued at ₹ 3,75,000 as on 31st March, 2016.

Gold and silver are generally purchased with an intention to hold it for long term period until and unless given otherwise. Hence, the investment in gold and silver (purchased on 31st March, 2013) shall continue to be shown at cost as on 31st March, 2016 i.e., 5,00,000 and 2,25,000 respectively, though their realizable values have been increased.

Working Notes:
1. Cost of equity shares purchased on 1st April, 2011
= Cost + Brokerage + Cost of transfer stamps
= 5,000 × ₹ 120 + 2% of ₹ 6,00,000 + 112% of ₹ 6,00,000
= ₹ 6,15,000

2. Sale proceeds of equity shares sold on 31st March, 2012
= Sale price – Brokerage
= 2,500 × ₹ 90 – 2% of ₹ 2,25,000
= ₹ 2,20,500,

3. Profit on sale of bonus shares on 31st March, 2012

(ii) Sale proceeds of equity shares sold on 30.11.2012
= 200 × ₹ 60 – 596 of ₹ 12,000 = ₹ 11,400

(iii) Profit on sale of bonus shares on 30.11.12
= Sales proceeds – Average cost Sales proceeds
= ₹ 11,400
