Working Note:
Calculation of Stock Reserve:
Rate of Gross Profit of Cloth Department, for the year 2010-11
= \(\frac{\text { Gross Profit }}{\text { Total Sales }} \times 100\)

Closing Stock of cloth in Readymade Clothes Department = 75%
i.e. 6,72,000 x 75% = ₹ 5,04,000
₹ 5,04,000 x 16% = ₹ 80,640

Nominal value of debentures converted into equity shares = ₹ 55,000.
[(₹ 3,00,000 – 80,000) × 0.251]
Interest received before the conversion of debentures

Answer:
Investment Accounts - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 24
Working Notes:
1. DivIdend Received on shares acquired on 1-9-16.
= 1,000 shares × 10 × 20% = 2,000

2. Profit on sale of shares:
Sale proceeds – Average Cost ,
Sale Proceeds = 4,000 shares × ₹ 14 = 56,000
Average Cost = \( \left(\frac{60,000+14,000+12,500-2,000}{8,000}\right)\) × 4,000
=1,05,625 × 4,000
= 42,250
Profit = 56,000- 42,250 = 13,750
Here, cost price of share is less than the market value of ₹ 13 per share. Thus, it should be valued at cost.

2. Bonus issue can be done by:
(a) Converting 50,000 ₹ 8 Paid Up Shares into ₹ 10 Paid Up: Securities Premium and Capital Redemption Reserve cannot be used for this purpose. Hence, the Company can utilize General Reserve and P&L Account only for this purpose.

Question 13.
Distinguish between the following :
‘Bonus shares’ and ‘rights shares’. (June 2011, 3 marks) [CS Exe -1]
Answer:
Following are the main points of distinction between bonus shares & right shares:

Basic Bonus Shares Right Shares
1. Meaning Bonus shares are shares issued by a company free of cost to its existing shareholders on a pro rata basis out of free reserve. When company issues further shares to existing shareholder in ratio of their holding Such issue is known as right issue.
2. Cash flow In case of bonus issue there is no cash flow. In case of right issue there is cash inflow to the company.
3. Consideration Company does not receive any consideration in case of bonus issue. Company receives consideration as shares are issued against cash.
4. Authorization Bonus issue is made on the recommendation of the Board and authorization from general meeting of the company. In case of right issue authorization from members through ordinary or special resolution is necessary.
5. Market value Issue of bonus shares does not affect the market value of the company. Right issue of shares affects the market value of the company.
6. Section It is governed by Sec. 63 of the Companies Act, 2013. It is governed by Sec. 62 of the Companies Act, 2013.

Question 14.
Fitness Ltd. is planning to raise funds by making rights issue of equity shares to part finance its expansion.

(i) Theoretical market price per share after the rights issue;
(ii) The value of rights; and

(i) Calculation of Theoretical Market Price per Share after the Right Issue:
Accounting for Bonus Issue and Right Issue - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 39
(ii) The Value of Rights = Market Price – Theoretical Market Price
= 45 – 35.57 = 9.43
(iii) Percentage increase in Share Capital:
\(=\frac{\text { No. of fresh Shares Issued }}{\text { Total no. of Shares before Right Issue }}\) × 100
= \(\frac{1,60,000}{4,00,000}\) × 100 = 40%

Working Notes:
1. No. of Shares Outstanding at Beginning
= \(\frac{40,00,000}{10}\) = 4,00,000 Shares
2. No. of Shares Issued as Right Issue
= 4,00,000 × \(\frac{2}{5}\) = 1,60,000 Shares.

Question 15.
The Share of ABC Ltd of a Face Value of ₹ 10 is being quoted at ₹ 24. The Company has a plan to make a Rights Issue of one Equity Share for every four shares currently held at a Premium of 40% per Share. You are required to –
1. Determine the Minimum Price that can be expected of Share after the issue.

3. Show the effect of the Right Issue on the wealth of a Shareholder who has 1,500 Shares, if
(a) He sells the entire rights, and
(b) He ignores the rights.
Answer:
Theoritical value of Right:
Ratio 1 : 4
Ex-Rights Price per share = \(\frac{(₹ 24 \times 4)+(₹ 14 \times 1)}{5}\) = ₹ 22
∴ Issue Price = 10 + 40% = ₹ 14
Rights Value = ₹ 8
∴ Value of Right = \(\frac{₹ 8}{4 \text { shares }}\) = ₹ 2

Question 17.
Zeta Ltd. has decided to increase its existing share capital by making rights issue to its existing shareholders. Zeta Ltd. is offering one new share for every two shares held by the shareholder. The market value (cum-right) of
the share is ₹ 360 and the company is offering one right share of ₹ 180 each to its existing shareholders. You are required to calculate the value of a right. What should be the ex-right value of a share?
Answer:
Ex-right value of the shares = (Cum-right value of the existing shares + Rights shares × Issue Price) /(Existing Number of shares + Number of Right shares)
= (₹ 360 × 2 Shares + ₹ 180 × 1 Share)/(2 + 1) Shares
= ₹900/3 shares = ₹ 300 per share.
Value of right = Cum-right value of the share – Ex-right value of the share
= ₹ 360 – 300 = ₹ 60 per share.
Hence, any one desirous of having a confirmed allotment of one share from the company at ₹ 180 will have to pay ₹ 120 (2 shares × ₹ 60) to an existing shareholder holding 2 shares and willing to renounce his right of buying one
share in favour of that person.

Question 18.
Right Issue
A company offers new shares of 100 each at 25% premium to existing shareholders on one for four basis. The cum-right market price of a share is ₹ 150. Calculate the value of a right
Answer:
Ex-right value of the shares = (Cum-right value of the existing shares + Rights shares Issue Price) / (Existing Number of shares + Rights Number of shares)
= (₹ 150 × 4 Shares + ₹ 125 × 1 Share) / (4 + 1) Shares = ₹ 725 / 5 shares = ₹ 145 per share.
Value of right = Cum-right value of the share – Ex-right value of the share
= ₹ 150 – ₹ 145 = ₹ 5 per share.

Working Notes:
1. Sales ratio
The sales per month in the first half year were half of what they were in the later half year. If in the later half year, sales per month is ₹ 1 then it should be 50 paise per month in the first half year. So sales for the first four months (i.e. from 1st April, 2008 to 31st July, 2008) will be 4 × 0.50 = ₹ 2 and for the last eight months (i.e. from 1st August, 2008 to 31st March, 2009) will be (2 × 0.50 + 6 × 1) = ₹ 7. Thus sales ratio is 2:7.

Post = 7,200 × \(\frac{216}{240}\) = 6,480
4. Since it is monthly basis hence distributed on time basis
Pre = 3 × 2,000 = 6,000
Post = 9 × 2,000 = 18,000
5. On time Basis : Pre = 1,28,000 × 3/12 = 32,000
Post = 1,28,000 × 9/12 = 96,000

Working Notes:

1. Gross profit ratio
From 1.4.2014 to 31.7.2014 gross profit is 25% of sales
Then, 25% of 4x = 1x
Gross profit for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.2014 to 31.3.2015) is 30%
Then, 30% of 10x = 3x
Therefore gross profit ratio will be 1: 3

2. Time ratio
1st April, 2014 to 31st July, 2014 : 1st August, 2014 to 31st March, 2015 = 4 months : 8 months = 1:2
Thus, time ratio is 1: 2.

3. Sales ratio
Let the monthly sales for first 4 months (i.e. from 1.4.2014 to 31.7.2014) be = x
Then, sales for 4 months = 4x
Monthly sales for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.2014 to 31.3.2015)
= x + 25% of x = 1.25x
Then, sales for next 8 months = 1.25x x 8 = 10x
Total sales for the year = 4x + 10x = 14x
Sales Ratio = 4x : 10x i.e. 2:5.

Working Notes :
1. Calculation of sales ratio
Let the average monthly sales of first four months.= 100 and next five months = 200
Total sales of first four months = 100 × 4 = 400 and total sales of next
five months = 200 × 5 = 1,000
The ratio of sales = 400 : 1,000 = 2:5

2. Time Ratio Pre: Post
= 1st July to 31st Oct: 1st Nov to 31st March
= 4 months : 5 months
Thus, Time ratio = 4:5

3. Rent
Till 31st December, 2010, rent was ₹ 1,200 p.a. i.e. ₹ 100 p.m.
So, Pre-incorporation rent = ₹ 100 × 4 months = ₹ 400 Post-incorporation rent = (₹ 100 × 2 months) + (₹ 250 × 3 months) = ₹ 950

(For the year ended 31st March 2008)
Financial Statements of Companies - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 3

Working Note:
Let remaining balance after staff bonus is x
Preference shareholders will get share from remaining balance x × \(\frac{1}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\) x
Equity shareholders will get share from remaining balance = x × \(\frac{2}{3}\) = \(\frac{2}{3}\) x
Bonus to Employees = \(\frac{2}{3}\)x × \(\frac{10}{100}\) = \(\frac{2}{30}\)x
\(\frac{2}{3}\)x × \(\frac{1}{3}\)x × \(\frac{2}{30}\)x = 2,99,040
32 x = 89,71,200
x = 89,71,200/32 = ₹ 2,80,350
Share of preference shareholders = ₹ 2,80,350 × \(\frac{1}{3}\) = ₹ 93,450
Share of equity shareholders = ₹ 2,80,350 × \(\frac{2}{3}\) = ₹ 1,86,900
Bonus to employees = ₹ 2,80,350 × \(\frac{2}{30}\) = ₹ 18,690

Financial Statements of Companies - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 5
Balance Sheet as on 31.03.2012
Financial Statements of Companies - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 6
You are required to provide the missing figures with the help of following information:
(i) Current Ratio 2:1.
(ii) Closing stock is 25% of sales.
(iii) Proposed dividends are 40% of the paid up capital.
(iv) Gross profit ratio is 60%.
(v) Ratio of Current Liabilities to Debentures is 2:1.
(vi) Transfer to General Reserves is equal to proposed dividends.
(vii) Profit carried forward are 10% of the proposed dividends.
(viii) Provision for taxation is 50% of profits.
(ix) Balance to the credit of General Reserves at the beginning of the year is twice the amount transferred to that account from the current profits. (Nov 2012, 16 marks)
Answer:
1. Amount of proposed dividend
= Paid up share capital × 40% = 10,000 × 40% = 4,000

2. Transfer to general reserves
= Amount of proposed dividend i.e. 4,000

3. Profit carried forward
= 10% of proposed dividend = 10% of 4,000 = 400

4. Net profit for the year
= Proposed dividend + Transfer to general reserve + Profit carried forward – Net profit carried forward = (4,000 + 4,000 + 400) – 1,400 = 7,000

5. Provision for taxation
Provision for taxation = 50% of profit (i.e. before net profit)
It means that net profit is 50% and provision for tax is 50%.
Therefore, if net profit is 7,000 then, Provision for taxation is also 7,000

6. Gross profit
= Net profit + All expenses – Commission received
= (7,000 + 7,000 + 600 + 7,400) – 1,000
= 21,000

7. Sales
= \(\left(\frac{\text { Gross profit }}{\text { Rate of profit }} \times 100\right)\)
= \(\left(\frac{21,000}{60} \times 100\right)\) = 35,000

8. Closing stock
= 25% of sales = 25% × 35,000 = 8,750

9. Purchases
= (Sales + Closing stock) – (Opening stock + Manufacturing expenses + Gross profit)
= (35,000 + 8,750) – (7,000 + 1,750 + 21,000)
= 43,750 – 29,750 = 14,000

10. Balance of general reserve as on 1.4.2011
= Twice the amount transferred to general reserve during the year
= 2 × 4,000 = 8,000

11. Amount of debentures
\(=\left(\frac{\text { Interest on debentures }}{\text { Rate of interest }} \times 100\right)\)
= \(\left(\frac{600}{10} \times 100\right)\) = 6,000

12. Current liabilities
= Current liabilities are twice of amount of debentures.
= 2 × 6,000 = 12,000

13. Current assets
Current Assets = Current ratio × Current liabilities
= 2 × 12,000 = 24,000

14. Sundry debtors
Sundry Debtors = Current assets – Stock in trade – Bank balance
= 24,000 – 8,750 – 1,250 = 14,000

15. Total of liabilities part of the balance sheet
= Shareholders’ capital + Non-current liabilities + Current liabilities
= (10,000+ 12,000+ 400)+ 6,000+ 12,000 = 40,400

16. Other PPE
= Total of Liabilities part of the balance sheet – (Current assets + Plant and Machinery)
= 40,400 – (24,000 + 14,000) = 2,400

Question 6.
Vasudha Ltd. provides following information:
Raw Material stock holding period : 3.5 months
Work-in progress holding period 1 month
Finished goods holding period : 4.5 months
Debtors collection period : 6 months
You are required to compute the operating cycle of Vasudha Ltd. What would happen if the trade payables of the company are paid in 14 months- whether these should be classified as current or non-current liability? (Nov 2013, 21/2 marks)[IPCCGr.II]
Answer:
As per Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013, “An operating cycle is the time between the acquisition of assets for processing and their realization in cash or cash ‘equivalents”.

Therefore, operating cycle of Vasudha Ltd. will be computed as under:
Raw material stock holding period + WIP holding period + finished goods holding period + Debtor collection period = 3.5 + 1 + 4.5 + 6 = 15 months. A liability shall be classified as current when it is expected to be settled in the company’s normal operating cycle. Since the operating cycle of Vasudha Ltd. is 15 month.s, trade payables expected to be paid in 14 months should be treated as a current liability.

Question 7.
The management of Kshitij Ltd. contends that the work in progress is not valued since it is difficult to ascertain the same in view of the multiple processes involved. They opine that the value of opening and closing work in progress would be more or less the same. Accordingly, the management had not separately disclosed the work in progress in its financial statements. Comment in line with Schedule III. (21/2 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 does not require to disclose in the statement of profit and loss, the amounts for which WIP have been completed at the beginning and at the end of the accounting period. Therefore, the non-disclosure in the financial statements by the company may not amount to violation of Schedule III if the differences between opening and closing WIP are not material.

Show net balance of Profit and Loss Account after making above adjustments. (May 2014, 8 marks)
Answer:
Financial Statements of Companies - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 15

(i) 1/3 to Preference Share Holder
(ii) 2/3 to Equity Share Holder
(iii) 10% of 2/3 = \(\frac{0.2}{3}\) to Staff Bonus
∴ Total = \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{2}{3}\) + \(\frac{0.2}{3}\) = \(\frac{3.2}{3}\)

∴ (i) Additional Dividend on Preference Share = 2,68,875 ÷ 3.2 = 84,023
(ii) Additional Dividend on Equity Share = 2,68,875 × \(\frac{2}{3.2}\) = 1,68,047
(iii) Additional Provision for staff Bonus = 2,68,875 × \(\frac{0.2}{3.2}\) = 16,805

Question 3.
Answer the following:
List the Criteria for classification of non-corporate entities as level I Entities for the purpose of application of Accounting Standards as per The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. (Jan 2021, 5 marks)

Question 4.
What are the three fundamental accounting assumptions recognised by Accounting Standard (AS) 1 ? Briefly describe each one of them. (May 2013, 4 marks)
Answer:
Accounting Standard-1 recognizes three fundamental accounting assumptions. These are as follows:

1. Going Concern
The financial statements are normally prepared on the assumption that an enterprise will continue its operations in the foreseeable future and neither there is intention, nor there is need to materially curtail the scale of operations.

2. Consistency The principle of consistency refers to the practice of using same accounting policies for similar transactions in all accounting periods unless the change is required

  1. by a statute,
  2. by an accounting standard or
  3. for more appropriate presentation of financial statements.

3. Accrual Basis of
Under this basis of accounting, transactions are Accounting recognised as soon as they occur, whether or not cash or cash equivalent is actually received or paid.

Question 5.
In the books of M/s Prashant Ltd., closing inventory as on 31.03.2015 amounts to ₹ 1,63,000 (on the basis of FIFO method).
The company decides to change from FIFO method to weighted average method for ascertaining the cost of inventory from the year 2014- 15. On the basis of weighted average method, closing inventory as on 31.03.2015 amounts to ₹ 1,47,000. Realisable value of the inventory as on 31.03.2015 amounts to ₹ 1,95,000.
Discuss disclosure requirement of change in accounting policy as per AS -1. (Nov 2015, 5 marks)
Answer:
As per AS -1, Disclosure of Accounting Policies, accounting policies refers to the accounting principles and method of applying those principles in the preparation and presentation of financial statements.
So if there is change in the accounting policies the firm should disclose in it’s statements:

  1. The fact that there is change in accounting policy.
  2. The reason for change in accounting policies.
  3. The effect of such change in the financial statements.

So in this case M/s. Prashant Ltd. changes valuation of inventory from FIFO to weighted average. Therefore, the firm should disclose in it’s financial statement:

1. There is a change in valuation of inventory from FIFO to weighted average.

2. The reason why such change is to be made: The company values its inventory at lower of cost and net realisable value. Since net realisable value of all items of inventory in the current year was greater than respective costs, the company valued its inventory at cost. In the present year i.e. 2014-15, the company has changed to weighted average method, which better reflects the consumption pattern of inventory, for ascertaining inventory costs from the earlier practice of using FIFO for the purpose.

3. The effect of such change in the financial statement: The change in policy has reduced current profit and value of inventory by ₹ 16,000.

Question 6.
ABC Financial Services Ltd. is engaged in the business of financial services and is undergoing tight liquidity position, since most of the assets of the company are blocked in various claims/petitions in a Special Court. ABC Financial Services Ltd. has accepted Inter-Corporate Deposits (ICDs) and it is making its best efforts to settle the dues. There were claims at varied rates of interest, from lenders, from the due date of ICDs to the date of repayment. The company has provided interest, as per the terms of the contract till the due date and a note for non-provision of interest from the due date to date of repayment was mentioned in financial statements.

On account of uncertainties existing regarding the determination of the amount and in the absence of any specific legal obligation at present as per the terms of contracts, the company considers that these claims are in the nature of “claims against the company not acknowledged as debt”, and the same has been disclosed by way of a note in the accounts instead of making a provision in the Profit and Loss Account.
State whether the treatment done by the company is correct or not as per relevant Accounting Standard. (May 2017, 5 marks)
Answer:
As per AS -1, “Disclosure of Accounting Policies,” following are considerations that govern selection of a particular Policy:

  1. Prudence
  2. Substance over form and
  3. Materiality

As per the above considerations and in view of uncertainty associated with future events, profits are not anticipated, but losses are provided for as a matter of conservatism. Provision should be created for all known liabilities and losses even though the amount cannot be determined with certainty and represents only a best estimate in the light of available information.

As per AS -1, ‘Accrual’ is one of the fundamental accounting assumptions. Irrespective of the terms of the contract, so long as the principal amount of a loan is not repaid, the lender cannot be placed in a disadvantageous position for non-payment of interest in respect of overdue amount. From the facts given in the question, it is apparent that the company has an obligation to pay because of the overdue interest amount.

Thus, in the given case, ABC Financial Services Ltd. should make provision for interest from the due date of ICDs to date of repayment even though the amount cannot be determined. Thus, it should represent only a best estimate in the light of available information.

Thus, the treatment done by the company that these claims are in nature of “claims against the company not acknowledged as debt” and the disclosure by way of note in the accounts instead of making a provision in the P & L A/c is not correct as per AS -1.

Question 7.
HIL Ltd. was making provision for non-moving stocks based on no issues having occurred for the last 12 months upto 31.03.2017. The company now wants to make provision based on technical evaluation during the year ending 31.03.2018.
Total value of stock ₹ 120 lakhs
Provision required based on technical evaluation ₹ 3.00 lakhs
Provision required based on 12 months no issues ₹ 4.00 lakhs
You are requested to discuss the following points in the light of Accounting Standard (AS) – 1:
(i) Does this amount to change in accounting policy?
(ii) Can the company change the method of accounting? (Nov 2018, 5 marks)
Answer:
The decision of making provision for non-moving inventories on the basis of technical evaluation does not amount to change in accounting policy. Accounting policy of a company may require that provision for non-moving stocks (inventories) should be made. The method of estimating the amount of provision may be changed. In case a more prudent estimate can be made. In the given case, considering the total value of stock, the change in the amount of required provision of non-moving stock from ₹ 4 lakhs to ₹ 3 lakhs is also not material. The disclosure can be made for such change in the following lines by way of notes to the accounts in the annual accounts of HIL Ltd. for the year 2017-18:

“The company has provided for non-moving stocks on the basis of technical evaluation unlike preceding years. Had the same method been followed as in the previous year; the profit for the year and the corresponding effect on the year end net assets would have been lower by ₹ 1 lakh.”

Question 8.
What are the items that are to be excluded in determination of the cost of inventories as per AS – 2? (May 2008, 4 marks)
OR
In determining the cost of inventories, it is appropriate to exclude certain costs and recognize them as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.” Provide example of such costs as per AS-2: Valuation of Inventories. (Nov 2012, 4 marks)
Answer:
Para 13 of AS-2 Valuation of Inventories lists down the specific costs which are to be excluded from cost of inventories.
The list is as follows:

  1. Abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labour or other production cost.
  2. Storage costs, unless those costs are necessary in the production process prior to a further production stage.
  3. Administrative overheads that do not contribute to bringing the inventories to their present location and condition; and
  4. Selling and distribution costs.

As per Para 12, Interest and other borrowing costs are usually considered as not related to bringing the inventories to their present location and condition and are therefore usually not included in the cost of inventory.

Question 9.
State whether the following statement is ‘True’ or False’. Also give reason for your answer.
3. As per the provisions of AS-2, inventories should be valued at the lower of cost and selling price. (May 2019, 1 mark)
Answer:
False:
As per AS 2, inventories should be valued at the lower of cost and net realiable value.
Net reliable value = Selling Price – Cost necessary to make sell.

Question 11.
Raw materials inventory of a company includes certain material purchased at ₹ 100 per kg. The price of the material is on decline and replacement cost of the inventory at the year end is ₹ 75 per kg. It is possible to convert the material into finished product at conversion cost of ₹ 125.
Decide whether to make the product or not to make the product, if selling price is
(i) ₹ 175 and
(ii) ₹ 225. Also find but the value of inventory in each case. (May 2010, 4 marks)
Answer:
Provision:
According to Para 24 of AS-2 ‘Valuation of Inventories’, materials and -other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost. But when there has been a decline in the price of materials and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed net realizable value, the materials are written down to net realisable value.

Analysis and Conclusion:
In such circumstances, the replacement cost of the materials may be the best available measure of their net realisable value.

(i) When the selling price be ₹ 175
Incremental Profit = ₹ 175 – ₹ 125 = ₹ 50
Current price of the material = ₹ 75
Therefore, it is better not to make the product. Raw material inventory would be valued at net realisable value i.e. ₹ 75 because the selling price of the finished product is less than ₹ 225 (100 + 125) per kg.

(ii) When the selling price be ₹ 225
Incremental Profit = ₹ 225 -1125 = ₹ 100
Current price of the raw material = ₹ 75
Therefore, it is better to make the product.
Raw material inventory would be valued at ₹ 100 per kg because the selling price of the finished product is not less than ₹ 225.

Question 16.
Capital Cables Ltd., has a normal wastage of 4% in the production process. During the year 2013-14 the Company used 12,000 MT of raw material costing ₹ 150 per MT.
At the end of the year 630 MT of wastage was in stock. The accountant wants to know how this wastage is to be treated in the books.
Explain in the context of AS 2 the treatment of normal loss and abnormal loss and also find out the amount of abnormal loss if any. (Nov 2014, 5 marks)
Answer:
According to AS-2, (Revised) ‘Valuation of Inventories’, abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labour and other production costs are excluded from cost of inventories and such costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

The amount of normal loss will be included in computing the cost of inventories (finished goods) at the year end.

Amount of Abnormal Loss:

Question 17.
Mr. Mehul gives the following information relating to items forming part of inventory as on 31-3-2015. His factory produces Product X using Raw material A.
(i) 600 units of Raw material A (purchased @ ₹ 120). Replacement cost of raw material A as on 31 -3-2015 is ₹ 90 per unit.
(ii) 500 units of partly finished goods in the process of producing X and cost incurred till date ₹ 260 per unit. These units can be finished next year by incurring additional cost of ₹ 60 per unit.
(iii) 1500 units of finished Product X and total cost incurred ₹ 320 per unit. Expected selling price of Product X is ₹ 300 per unit.
Determine how each item of inventory will be valued as on 31-3-2015. Also calculate the value of total inventory as on 31 -3-2015. (May 2015, 5 marks)
Answer:
(i) Valuation of Raw Material: If finished product is expected to be sold below cost then raw material should be valued at NRV if there is decline in price of material. In such circumstances, the replacement cost of materials may be best available measure of their net realizable value.

Here product x is expected to be sold at ₹ 300 per unit which is below than total cost per unit which is ₹ 320. Then raw material is to be valued at replacement cost.
So, valuation of raw material is done as follows:
No. of units × Replacement Cost/unit = 600 × 90 = ₹ 54,000
Raw material is to be valued at ₹ 54,000

(ii) Valuation of WIP : 500 units of partly finished goods will be valued at ₹ 240 per unit i.e. lower of cost ₹ 320 (₹ 260 + additional cost ₹ 60) or Net estimated selling price ₹ 240 (Estimated selling price ₹ 300 per unit less additional cost of ₹ 60).

(iii) Cost of Finished Goods: As per AS-2, inventory is to be valued at cost or realizable value which ever is lower. Here the cost of finished good is ₹ 320 per unit and finished good is expected to be sold at ₹ 300 which is less than the cost of finished goods. So, finished good is valued at expected selling price, as calculated follows:
1500 units × ₹ 300 per unit = ₹ 4,50,000
So, finished good is valued at ₹ 4,50,000 to the year end.

Question 18.
Z Limited ordered 13,000 kg. of chemicals at ₹ 90 per kg. The purchase price includes GST of ₹ 5 per kg. in respect of which full Input credit is admissible. Freight incurred amounted to ₹ 30,000. Normal transit loss is 4%. The company actually received 12,400 kg. and consumed 10,000 kg. The company has received trade discount in the form of cash amounting to ₹ 1 per kg. The chemicals were delivered in containers. The containers were not reusable, hence sold for ₹ 500. The administrative expenses incurred to bring the chemicals were ₹ 10,000.
Compute the value of inventory and allocate the material cost as per AS-2. [Modified] (May 2016, 5 marks)
Answer:
Cost of Inventory and allocation of material cost is shown below:
Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 15

Allocation of Material cost:
Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 16
The difference due to rounding off of normal cost per Kg. has been adjusted. Thus the inventory will be valued at ₹ 2,17,692.

Note:
1. The Company has received trade discount In the form of cash. Therefore, discount has been treated as trade discount in the given answer.

2. Abnormal losses are recognized as separate expenses.

3. Containers are used for delivery of the chemicals and are not reusable. Cost of these containers is treated as selling and distribution expense. The sale value of these containers will be credited to Profit and Loss Account and shall not be considered for the purpose of valuation of inventory.

Alternatively, the sales value of container amount of ₹ 500 may be deducted, while computing material cost. In that case the material cost will be computed as ₹ 11,31,500(11,32,000-500) instead of ₹ 11,32,000.
Accordingly the allocation of material cost will get changed.

Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 18
∴ Cost per unit of finished goods = ₹ 660 per unit

(b) Valuation of finished goods will be:
if NRV is ₹ 800 per unit,
Value per unit (Lower of cost 660 & NRV) = 660
Total value of finished goods stock = ₹ 660 × 2400 units
= ₹ 15,84,000
If NRV is ₹ 600 per unit,
Value per unit (Lower of cost 660 & NRV) = 600
Total value of finished goods stock = ₹ 600 × 2400 units
= ₹ 14,40,000

Valuation of Raw Materials:

(a) Cost per unit of Raw Material:
Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 19

(b) Total value of Raw Materials (Closing Stock)
1. Finished Goods are valued at cost

  • Raw Materials cost per unit ₹ 440
  • Replacement cost per unit ₹ 300
  • Relevant value per unit ₹ 440 [Since finished goods are valued at cost.]
  • Total value for 1.000 units = 1000 × ₹ 440
    = ₹ 440,000

2. Finished goods are valued at NRV

  • Raw Materials cost per unit ₹ 440
  • Replacement cost per unit ₹ 300
  • Relevant value per unit ₹ 300 [Since finished goods are valued at NRV]
  • Total value for ₹ 1,000 units = 1000 × ₹ 300

was in stock. The accountant wants to know how this wastage is to be treated in the books.
You are required to:
1. Calculate the amount of abnormal toss.
2. Explain the treatment of normal loss and abnormal loss.
[In the context of AS-2 (Revised)] (May 2019, 5 marks)
Answer:
As per AS 2 (Revised) ‘Valuation of Inventories’, abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labours and other production costs are excluded from cost of inventories and such costs are recognised as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The normal loss will be included in determining the cost of inventories (finished goods) at the year end.

Amount of Abnormal loss:
Material used 16000 MT @ ₹ 190 = ₹ 30,40,000
Normal loss (5% of 16000 MT) 800 MT
Net quantity of material 15,200 MT
Abnormal loss in quantity 150 MT
Abnormal loss ₹ 30,000

(i) 800 units of raw material A (purchased @ ₹ 140 per unit).
Replacement cost of raw material A as on 31st March, 2019 is ₹ 190 per unit.
(ii) 650 units of partly finished goods in the process of producing X and cost incurred till date ₹ 310 per unit. These units can be finished next year by incurring additional cost of ₹ 50 per unit.
(iii) 1,800 units of finished product X and total cost incurred ₹ 360 per unit.
Expected selling price of product X is ₹ 350 per unit.
In the context of AS-2, determine how each Item of inventory will be valued as on 31st March, 2019. Also, calculate the value of total inventory as on 31st March. 2019. (Nov 2019, 5 marks)
Answer:
As per AS 2 (Revised) “Valuation of Inventories”, materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below cost if the finished products in which they will be Incorporated are expected to be sold at cost or above cost. However, when there has been a decline in the price of materials and it is estimated that the cost of the finished products will exceed not realisable value, the materials are written down to net realisable value. In such circumstances, the replacement cost of the materials, may be the best available measure of their net realisable value. In the given case, selling price of product X is ₹ 350 and total cost per unit for production is ₹ 360.
Hence the valuation will be done as under:

  1. 800 units of raw material A will be valued at cost of 140 per unit as being lower of cost and Replacement Cost
  2. 650 units of partly finished goods will be valued at ₹ 300 per Unit i.e. lower of cost (₹ 310) or Net realisable value ₹ 300 (Estimated Selling Price ₹ 350 per unit less addition cost ₹ 50)
  3. 1800 units of finished product X will be valued at NRV of ₹ 350 per unit since it is lower than cost 360 per unit of product X.

Question 31.
A company acquired a machine on 1.4.2006 for ₹ 5,00,000. The company charged depreciation upto 2008-09 on straight line basis with estimated working life of 10 years and scrap value of ₹ 50,000. From 2009 -10. the company decided to change depreciation method at 20% on reducing balance method. Compute the amount of depreciation to be debited to Profits and Loss A/c for the year 2009 – 10. (May 2010, 2 marks)
Answer:
Annual depreciation charged by the company up to 2008-09
\(=\frac{\text { Cost price of the machine-Scrap value }}{\text { Useful life of the machine }}\)
\(\frac{₹ 5,00,000-₹ 50,000}{10}\) = ₹ 45,000
WDV of machine at the end of 2008-09 by Straight Line Method (SLM)
= ₹ 5,00,000 – (₹ 45,000 × 3) = ₹ 3,65,000

Depreciation to be charged in 2009-2010
Book value of the machine as per SLM as on 2008-09 = 3,65,000
Dep. to be charged = 3,65,000 × \(\frac{20}{100}\) = 73,000

Question 32.
During the current year 2009 – 10 M/s L & C Ltd. made the following expenditure relating to its plant and machinery:
General repairs : ₹ 4,00,000
Repairing of Electric Motors : ₹ 1,00,000
Partial Replacement of parts of Machinery : ₹ 50,000
Substantial improvements to the electrical wiring system which will increase efficiency of the plant and machinery : ₹ 10,00,000
What amount should be capitalised according to AS-10? (May 2010, 4 marks)
Answer:
Provision:
According to AS-10 Property, Plant and Equipment, the cost of an item of PPE shall be recognised as an asset if and only if

  1. It is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the firm,
  2. The cost can be measured, reliably.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Therefore, in the given case, repairs amounting ₹ 5 lakhs and partial replacement of parts of machinery worth ₹ 50,000 should be charged to statement of profit & loss. ₹ 10 lakhs incurred for substantial improvement to the electrical wiring system which will increase efficiency should be capitalized.

Question 33.
Carrying amount of a machine is ₹ 1,00,000 (Historical cost less depreciation). The machine is expected to generate ₹ 25,000 net cash flow for 5 years. The net realizable value (or net selling price) of the machine on current date is ₹ 85,000. The enterprises required rate of earning is 10% p.a. State the value at which the enterprise should carry its machine. The present value factors at 10% are 0.909, 0.826, 0.751, 0.683 and 0.621 at the end of first, second, third, fourth and fifth year respectively. (May 2011, 4 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
Value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flow expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset. Therefore,

Value in use = ‘₹ 25,000 × (0.909 +0.826 + 0.751+ 0.683 + 0.621) ₹ 94,750 Net selling price = ₹ 85,000
Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s value in use and its net selling price i.e.94,750.
Carrying value of a machine = ₹ 1,00,000 (recorded in the books)

Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognized in the balance sheet after deduction any accumulated depreciation (amortization) and accumulated impairment losses thereon.

In the given case, carrying amount of machine will be lower of its recoverable amount ₹ 94,750 and its book value i.e. ₹ 1,00,000. Therefore, the enterprise should carry its machine at value of ₹ 94,750.

Question 34.
In the Trial Balance of M/s Sun Ltd. as on 31-3-2011, balance of machinery appears ₹ 5,60,000. The company follows rate of depreciation on machinery @ 10% p.a.

Question 35.
M/s. Tiger Ltd. allotted 7500 equity shares of 100 each fully paid up to Lion Ltd. in consideration for supply of a special machinery. The shares exchanged for machinery are quoted at National Stock Exchange (NSE) at ₹ 95 per share at the time of transaction. In the absence of fair market value of the mach nery acquired, how the value of the machinery would be recorded in the books of Tiger Ltd? (May 2012, 4 marks)
Answer:
Provision:
According to AS 10 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment:’
Depreciation is a measure of wearing out, consumption or other loss of value of a depreciable asset arising from use, effluxion of time or obsolescence through technology and market changes.

Accordingly, depreciation may arise even when asset has not been used in the current year but was ready for use in that year.

The need for using the stand by bus may not have arisen during the year but that does not imply that the useful life of the bus has not been affected. Therefore, non-provision of depreciation on the ground that the bus was not used during the year is not tenable.

As per AS-10, ‘Property, Plant and Equipment,’ the gross book value of the self constructed fixed asset includes the costs of construction that relate directly to the specific asset and the costs that are attributable to the construction activity in general can be allocated to the specific asset.

If any Internal profit is there it should be eliminated. Saving of ₹ 1,50,000 on account of using its own workforce is an unrealized/internal profit, which should not be capitalized/recorded as per the standard.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Therefore only ₹ 4,50,000 should be debited to the factory building account and not ₹ 600,000.
Hence, the contention of the directors of the company to capitalize ₹ 6,00,000 as cost of factory building, on the ground that the company is killy entitled to employ an outside contractor is not justifiable.

Question 36.
A computer costing ₹ 60,000 is depreciated on straight line basis, assuming 10 years working life and Nil residual value, for three years. The estimate of remaining useful life after third year was reassessed at 5 years. Calculate depreciation as per the provisions of Accounting Standard 10 “Property, Plant and Equipment. (May 4 marks)
Answer:
Depreciation per year = ₹ 60,000/10 = ₹ 6,000
Depreciation on SLM charged for three years = ₹ 6,000 × 3 years = ₹ 18,000
Book value of the computer at the end of third year = ₹ 60,000 – ₹ 18,000
= ₹ 42,000
Remaining useful life as per previous estimate = 7 years
Remaining useful life as per revised estimate = 5 years
Depreciation from the fourth year onwards = ₹ 42,000/5 = ₹ 8,400 per annum

Question 37.

Answer:
Calculation of cost of fixed assets
Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 26
Note: It is assumed that 4% of office and administrative expenses are specifically attributable to construction of a fixed asset. Alternatively, it may be assumed that 4% of office and administrative expenses are only allocated to construction project and is not specifically attributable to it. In such a case, the cost of fixed assets will be ₹ 19,55,000.

Question 38.
Amna Ltd. contracted with a supplier to purchase a specific machinery to be installed in Department A in two months time. Special foundations were required for the plant, which were to be prepared within this supply lead time. The cost of site preparation and laying foundations were ₹ 47,290. These activities were supervised by a technician during the entire period, who is employed for this purpose of ₹ 15,000 per month.

Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 27

Note:

  1. 18% of 52,78,000 = ₹ 9,50,040
  2. Interest on Bank overdraft for earlier payment of invoice is not relevant under AS – 10.
  3. Internally booked profits should be eliminated in arriving àt the cost of Fixed Assets.
  4. It has been assumed that the purchase price of ₹ 52,78,000 excludes amount of GST.

Question 39.
On 01.04.2010 a machine was acquired at ₹ 4,00,000. The machine was expected to have a useful life of 10 years. The residual value was estimated at 10% of the original cost. At the end of the 3rd year, an attachment was made to the machine at a cost of ₹ 1,80,000 to enhance its capacity. The attachment was expected to have a useful life of 10 years and zero terminal value. During the same time the original machine was revalued upwards by ₹ 90,000 and remaining useful life was reassessed at 9 years and residual value was reassessed at NIL.
Find depreciation for the year, if
(i) attachment retains its separate identity.
(ii) attachment becomes integral part of the machine, (May 2014, 5 marks)
Answer:
(i) disposed a machine having attachment retains its Separate Identity
Cost of Machine on 1.4.10 = 4,00,000
Less: Residual Value 10% = 40,000
Depreciable Value = 3,60,000
Estimated Useful life = 10 years
Dep. p.a. = 3,60,000 ÷ 10 = ₹ 36,000
Total Dep in 3 years = 36,000 × 3 = ₹ 1,08,000
WDV for 4th year = 4,00,000 – 1,08,000 = 2,92,000
Upward Revaluation of Original Machine = 90,000
WDV for 4th year after revaluation = 2,92,000 + 90,000 = 3,82,000
Remaining useful life = 9 years
Dep. in 4th year = 3,82,000 ÷ 9
Dep. on attachment = 1,80,000 ÷ 10
Total Depreciation = 42,444 + 18,000 = ₹ 60,444

Note:

1 Since, upward revaluation of the machine and reassessment of remaining useful life had been made at the end of the 3rd year, it is implied that depreciation for the 3rd year has been charged on the basis of od calculation & remaining useful life of 9 years is to be calculated from the beginning of the 4th year onwards.
2. Depreciation for The 4th year i.e. 2013-14 has been given in the solution.

(ii) If attachment becomes Integral part of Machine
In this case it will be added to the value of machine and depreciated along with machine over the life of machine.
Value of Machine after Revaluation = 3,82,000
Add: Cost of Attachment = 1,80000
Total Value = 5,62000
Life = 9 years
Depreciation = 5,62,000 ÷ 9 = ₹ 62,444

Question 41.
From the following information state the amount to be capitalized as per AS 10. Give the explanations for your answers.
₹ 5 lakhs as routine repairs and ₹ 1 lakh on partial replacement of a part of a machine.
₹ 10 lakhs on replacement of part of a machinery which will improve the efficiency of a machine. (Nov 2014, 4 marks)
Answer:
As per AS-10 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, only those expenditures that increase the future benefits tram the existing assets, beyond its previously assessed standard of performance, are to be included in the gross book value.

Hence, in the given case, amount of ₹ 5 lakhs spent on routine repairs and ₹ 1 lakh on partial replacement of a part of the machinery should be charged to Profit and Loss Account as these amounts will help in maintaining the capacity but will not improve the efficiency of the machine.

However, ₹ 10 Lakhs incurred on replacement of a part of the machinery, which will increase the efficiency of a machine, should be capitalized by inclusion in the gross book value of machinery.

Question 43.
A machinery with a useful life of 6 years was purchased on 1st April, 2012 for ₹ 1,50,000. Depreciation was provided on straight line method for first three years considering a residual value of 10% of cost.
In the beginning of fourth year the company reassessed the remaining useful life of the machinery at 4 years and residual value was estimated at 5% of original cost.

The accountant recalculated the revised depredation historically and charged the difference to profit and loss account. You are required to comment on the treatment by accountant and calculate the depreciation to be charged for the fourth year. (Nov 2015, 5 marks)
Answer:
According to AS-10 “Property, Plant and Equipment”, if the depreciable assets are revalued, the provision for depreciation should be based on the revalued amount and on the estimate of the remaining useful lives of such assets. In case the revaluation has a material effect on the amount of depreciation, the same should be disclosed separately in the year in which revaluation is carried out.

As per the standard, when there is a revision of the estimated useful life of an asset, the unamortized depreciable ãmount should be charged over the revised remaining useful life. Accordingly revised depreciation shall be calculated prospectively. Thus, the treatment done by the accountant regarding recalculating the revised depreciation historically i.e. retrospectively is incorrect.

Calculation of Depreciation
Depreciation per year charged for first three years = ₹ 1,35,000 /6 = ₹ 22,500
WDV of the machine at the beginning of the fourth year = ₹ 1,50,000 – (₹ 22500 × 3)
= ₹ 82,500
Depreciable amount after reassessment of residual value = ₹ 82,500 – 7,500
= 75,000
Remaining useful life as per revised estimate = 4 years
Depreciation from the fourth year onwards = ₹ 75,000/4
= ₹ 18,750

Question 44.
Hema Ltd. purchased a machinery on 1.04.2008 for ₹ 15,00,000. The company charged straight line depreciation based on 15 years working life estimate and residual value ₹ 3,00,000. At the beginning of the 4 year, the company by way of systematic evaluation revalued the machinery upward by 20% of net book value as on date and also re-estimated the useful life as 7 years and scrap value as nil. The increase in net book value was credited directly to revaluation reserves. Depreciation (on SLM basis) later on was charged to Profit & Loss Account. At the beginning of 8th year the company decided to dispose off the machinery and estimated the realizable value to ₹ 2,00,000.
You are required to ascertain the amount to be charged to Profit & Loss Account at the beginning of 8th year with reference to AS-10. (Nov 2016, 5 marks)
Answer:
Calculation of Depreciation:
Cost of Machinery as on 1.4.2008 = ₹ 15,00,000
Depreciation p.a. = \(₹ \frac{15,00,000-3,00,000}{15}\)
= ₹ 80,000
∴ Depreciation for 3 years (1.4.2008 to 31.3.2011) = ₹ 80,000 × 3
= ₹ 2,40,000
∴ Net Book Value of Machinery as on 1.4.2011
Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 32

Thus:
Increase in Revaluation to be taken to Revaluation Reserve
= ₹ 12,60,000 — ₹ 15,12,000 = ₹ 2,52,000
Revised Depreciation (p.a.) = \(\frac{₹ 15,12,000-\mathrm{Nil}}{7}\) = ₹ 2,16,000
(Assumption: Useful life = 7 years)
∴ Depreciation br years (1.04.2011 to 31 03.2015)
= ₹ 2,16,000 × 4 = ₹ 8,64,000
Thus:
Net Book Value of Machinery as on 1.4.2015:
Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 33
Thus:
Loss to be debited (Adjusted in Revaluation Reserve)
= ₹ 4,48,000 — ₹ 3,40,000 = ₹ 1,08,000
Amount to be debited (Adjusted in Profit and Loss A/c)
= ₹ 4,48,000 — 1,08,000 = ₹ 3,40,000
Balance in Revaluation Reserve transferred to General Reserve
= ₹ 2,52,000 – ₹ 1,08,000 = ₹ 1,44,000.

Explain the treatment of these expenditures as per the provisions of AS 10 Property, Plant and Equipment”. (Nov 2018, 5 marks)
Answer:
As per provisions of AS 10, any cost directly attributable to bring the assets to the location and conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner indicated by the management are called directly attributable costs and would be included ¡n the costs of an item of PPE.

Management should capitalise the costs of construction and remodeling the restaurants, because they are necessary to bring the store to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The restaurant cannot be opened without incurring the remodeling expenditure and thus the expenditure should be considered part of the asset. So, construction and remodeling cost of restaurant of ₹ 30,00,000 should be capitalised.

However, if the cost of salaries, utilities and storage of goods are in the nature of operating expenditure that would be incurred if the restaurant was open, then these costs are not necessary to bring the store to the condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management should be expensed. So, salaries of the stall engaged in preparation of restaurant before its opening shall not be capitalised (₹ 7,50,000).

Question 49.
Explain “monetary Item” as per Accounting Standard 11. How are foreign currency monetary items to be recognized at each Balance Sheet date?
Classify the follôwing as monetary or non-monetary item:
(i) Share Capital
(ii) Trade Receivables
(iii) Investments
(iv) Fixed Assets (May 2013, 4 marks) (IPCC Gr. II)
Answer
According to AS 11 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, Monetary items are money held and assets and liablities to be received or paid in fixed or determinable amounts of money.

Foreign currency monetary items should be reported using the closing rate at each balance sheet date.

Whereas, in certain circumstances, the closing rate may not reflect with reasonable accuracy the amount in reporting currency that is likely to be realised from, or required to disburse, a foreign currency monetary item at the balance sheet date.

In such situation, the relevant monetary item should be reported in the reporting currency at the amount which is likely to be realised from or required to disburse, such item at the balance sheet date.

Question 50.
With reference to AS 11, define the following:
(i) Integral Foreign Operation.
(ii) Non-Integral Foreign Operation. (Nov 2016, 4 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
(i) integral Foreign Operation:
It is a foreign operation, the activities of which are an integral part of those of the reporting enterprise a foreign operation that is integral to the operations of the reporting enterprise carries on its business as if it were an extension of the reporting enterprise’s operation.

(ii) Non-Integral Foreign Operation:
It is a foreign operation that is not an integral foreign operation when there is a change between in the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the local currency. There is a little or no direct impact of the present and future cash flow from operations of either the non-integral foreign operation or the reporting enterprise the change in the exchange rate affects the reporting enterprise’s net investment in the non-integral foreign operation rather than the individual monetary and non-monetary Items held by the non-integral foreign operation.

Question 51.

Goodš purchased on 1.1.2007 of US $ 10,000 : ₹ 45
Exchange rate on 31.3.2007 : ₹ 44
Date of actual payment 7.7.2007 : ₹ 43
Ascertain the loss/gain for financial years 2006-07 and 2007-08, also give their treatment as per AS-11. (Nov 2008, 4 marks) (IPCC Gr. II)
Answer:
Provision:
As per AS – 11 all foreign currency transaction should be recorded by applying the exchange rate at the date of transaction.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Therefore, goods purchased on 1.1.2007 and corresponding creditor would
be recorded at ₹ 45 = U$ 1. i.e; 10,000 × 45 = 4,50,000
As per AS 11 at the Balance Sheet date all monetary items should be reported using closing rate, therefore of US$ 10,000 outstanding on 31-3-2007 will be reported = 10,000 × 44 = 4,40,000.
Exchange Loss’Gain (4,40,000 – 4,50,000) = 10,000 Gain should be credited in P/L A/c for 2006-07.
As per AS-11, exchange difference on settlement on maturity items should be transferred to Profit and Loss A/c as gain or loss. Therefore 10,000 × 43 = 4,30,000 – 4,40,000 = ₹ 10,000 gain should be transferred to profit and loss for the year 2007 – 08.

Question 53.
Sunshine Company Limited imported raw materials worth US Dollars 9,000 on 25th February, 2011, when the exchange rate was ₹ 44 per US Dollar. The transaction was recorded in the books at the above mentioned rate. The payment for the transaction was made on 10th April, 2011, when the exchange rate was ₹ 48 per US Dollar. At the year end 31st March, 2011, the rate of exchange was ₹ 49 per US Dollar.

The Chief Accountant of company passed an entry on 31st March, 2011 adjusting the cost of raw material consumed for the difference between ₹ 48 and f 44 per US Dollar. Discuss whether this treatment is justified as per the provisions of AS-11 (Revised). (Nov 2011, 4 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
Provision:
As per para 9 of AS 11, ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’, initial recognition of a foreign currency transaction is done in the reporting currency by applying the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Analysis and Conclusion:
Accordingly, on 25th February 2011, the raw material purchased and its creditors will be recorded at US dollar 9,000 × ₹ 44 = ₹ 3,96,000.

Also, as per para 11 of the standard, on balance sheet date such transaction is reported at closing rate of exchange, hence it will be valued at the closing rate i.e. ₹ 49 per US dollar (USD 9,000 × ₹ 49 = ₹ 4,41,000) at 31st March, 2011, irrespective of the payment made for the same subsequently at lower rate in the next financial year.

The difference of ₹ 5 (49 – 44) per US dollar i.e. ₹ 45,000 (USD 9,000 × ₹ 5) will be shown as an exchange loss in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31st March, 2011 and will not be adjusted against the cost of raw materials.

In the subsequent year on settlement date, the company would recognize or provide the Profit and Loss Account an exchange gain of ₹ 1 per US dollar, i.e. the difference from balance sheet date to the date of settlement between ₹ 49 and ₹ 48 per US dollar i.e. ₹ 9,000. Hence, the accounting treatment adopted by the Chief Accountant of the company is incorrect i.e. it is not in accordance with the provisions of AS 11.

Question 54.
Beekay Ltd. purchased fixed assets costing to ₹ 5,000 lakh on 01.04.2012 payable in foreign currency (US $) on 05.04.2013. Exchange rate of 1 US $ = ₹ 50.00 and ₹ 54.98 as on 01.04.2012 and 31.03.2013 respectively.
The company also obtained a soft loan of US$ 1 lakh on 01.04.2012 payable in three annual equal instalments. First instalment was due on 01.05.2013. You are required to state, how these transactions would be accounted for in the books of accounts ending 31st March, 2013. (Nov 2013, 5 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
As per AS -11
(i) Difference arising on reporting of long-term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, in so far as they relate to requisition of depreciable capital asset, can be added to or deducted from cost of asset.

(ii) The MCA has given an option to capitalize the exchange differences arising on reporting of long term foreign currency monetary items till 31st March, 2020.
Thus the company can capitalize the exchange differences arising due to long term loans linked with the acquisition of fixed assets.

1. Calculation of exchange difference on fixed assets
Foreign Exchange Liability = \(\frac{5,000}{50}\) = US $ 100 lakhs
Exchange Difference = US $ 100 lakhs × (₹ 54.98 – ₹ 50) = ₹ 498 lakhs.
Loss due to exchange difference amounting ₹ 498 lakhs will be capitalised and added in the carrying value of fixed assets. Depreciation on the unamortised amount will be provided in the remaining years.

2. Soft loan exchange difference (US $ 1 lakh i.e. ₹ 50 lakhs)
Value of loan 31.3.13 → US $ 1 lakh × 54.98 = ₹ 54,98,000
Now, AS -11 also provides that in case of liability such as longterm foreign currency monetary item, the exchange difference is to be accumulated in the Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference (FCMITD) and should be written off over the useful life of such long-term liability, by recognition as income or expenses in each of such periods.

Thus, Exchange difference between reporting currency (INR) and foreign currency (USD) as on 31.03.2013 = US $ 1.00 lakh × ₹ (54.98 – 50) = ₹ 4.98 lakhs.

Loan account is to be increased to 54.98 lakhs and FCMITD account is to be debited by 4.98 lakhs. Since loan is repayable in 3 equal annual instalments, ₹ 4.98 lakhs/3 = ₹ 1.66 lakhs is to be charged in Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31st March, 2013 and balance in FCMITD A/c ₹ (4.98 lakhs – 1.66 lakhs) = ₹ 3.32 lakhs is to be shown on the ‘Equity & Liabilities’ side of the Balance Sheet as a negative figure under the head ‘Reserve and Surplus’ as a separate line item.

Question 55.
Stem Ltd. purchased a Plant for US$ 30,000 on 30th November, 2013 payable after 6 months. The company entered into a forward contract for 6 months @ ₹ 62.15 per dollar. On 30th November, 2013, the exchange rate was ₹ 60.75 per dollar.
How will you recognise the profit or loss on forward contract in the books of Stem Ltd. for the year ended 31st March, 2014? (Nov 2014, 5 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
Calculation of Profit or Loss

  1. Value at the rate prevailing at the inception of forward contract
    = (USD ₹ 30,000 × 60.75) = ₹ 18,22,500
  2. Value at forward rate = (USD 30,000 × 62.15) = ₹ 18,64,500
  3. Total loss on entering into the forward contract = arising at inception for 6 months contract period = ₹ 42,000 (i.e. ₹ 18,64,500 – ₹ 18,22,500)
  4. Loss to be recognised for the year ended 31st March, 2014
    = 42,000 × \(\frac{4}{6}\) = ₹ 28,000

Question 56.
Explain briefly the accounting treatment needed in the following cases as per AS 11 as on 31.3.2015.
Sundry Debtors include amount receivable from Umesh ₹ 5,00,000 recorded at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of sales, transactions recorded at US $ 1 = ₹ 58.50.
Long term loan taken from a U.S. Company, amounting to ₹ 60,00,000. It was recorded at US $ 1 = ₹ 55.60, taking exchange rate prevailing at the date of transaction.
US$ 1 = ₹ 61.20 on 31.3.2015 (Nov 2015, 5 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
As per AS -11 “Accounting for Foreign Exchange transaction on initial recognition should be recorded by applying the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.
But the transaction as on the balance sheet date should be recorded as follows:

Monetary Items: Monetary items are money held and assets and liabilities to be received or paid in fixed or determinable amounts of money. So that the monetary items as on balance sheet date should be reported by using the closing exchange rates.

Non – Monetary items: Non-Monetary items are other than monetary items. Such items which are carried in terms of historical cost denominated in a foreign currency should be reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction:

(i) Here the sundry debtors which include the receivable from Umesh ₹ 5,00,000 to be recorded initially by applying exchange rate as on the date of transaction. As on balance sheet date this receivable recorded as rate on the 31 /3/2015 i.e. ₹ 61.20 as it is monetary item as per AS 11. And such difference of rate i.e. (61.20 – 58.50) = 2.7 × 8,547 = ₹ 23,077 is to be credited to P&L A/c as foreign exchange gain.

(ii) In this case firstly loan from US Company recorded at rate of initial recognition ₹ 55.60. On the balance sheet date the rate is ₹ 61.20 so that the loss on the exchange transaction i.e. (61.20 – 55.60) = ₹ 5.6 × 1,07,914 = ₹ 6,04,317. So that loss of ₹ 6,04,317 is to be debited to foreign exchange account and the loan is recorded in B/S at ₹ 55-60.

Question 57.
Shan Builders Limited has borrowed a sum of US $ 10,00,000 at the beginning of Financial Year 2014-15 for its residential project at LIBOR + 3%. The interest is payable at the end of the Financial Year. At the time of availment, exchange rate was ₹ 56 per US $ and the rate as on 31st March, 2015 was ₹ 62 per US $. If Shan Builders Limited borrowed the loan in India in Indian Rupee equivalent, the pricing of loan would have been 10.50%. Compute Borrowing Cost and exchange difference for the year ending 31st March, 2015 as per applicable Accounting Standards. (Applicable LIBOR is 1%). (Nov 2015, 5 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:

  1. Interest for the period 2014-15
    = US$ 10 lakhs × 4% × ₹ 62 per US$ = ₹ 24.80 lakhs
  2. Increase in the liability towards the principal amount = US $ 10 lakhs × ₹ (62- 56) = ₹ 60 lakhs
  3. Interest that would have resulted if the loan was-taken in Indian currency
    = US$ 10 lakhs × ₹ 56 × 10.5% = ₹ 58.80 lakhs
  4. Difference between interest on local currency borrowing and foreign currency borrowing = ₹ 58.80 lakhs – ₹ 24.80 lakhs = ₹ 34 lakhs.

Therefore, out of ₹ 60 lakhs increase in the liability towards principal amount, only ₹ 34 lakhs will be considered as the borrowing cost. Thus, total borrowing cost would be ₹ 58.80 lakhs being the aggregate of interest of ₹ 24.80 lakhs on foreign currency borrowings plus the exchange difference to the extent of difference between interest on local currency borrowing and interest on foreign currency borrowing of ₹ 34 lakhs.

Hence, ₹ 58.80 lakhs would be considered as the borrowing cost to be accounted for as per AS 16 “Borrowing Costs” and the remaining ₹ 26 lakhs (60 – 34) would be considered as the exchange difference to be accounted for as per AS 11 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”.

(ii) Trade receivable includes amount receivable from Preksha Ltd., ₹ 10,00,000 recorded at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of sales, transaction recorded at US $1 = ₹ 59.00. The exchange rate on balance sheet date (31.03.2018) was US $ 1 = ₹ 62.00.

You are required to calculate the amount of exchange difference and also explain the accounting treatment needed in the above two cases as per AS 11 in the books of ABC Ltd. (Nov 2018, 5 marks)
Answer:
As per AS 11 “The effects of changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting an enterprise’s monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, should be recognised as income or as expenses in the period in which they arise.

However, at the option of an entity, exchange differences arising on operating of long-term foreign currency monetary items at rates different from those at which they were initially recorded during the period, or reported in previous financial statements, in so far as they relate to the acquisition of a non-depreciable capital asset can be accumulated in a “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” in the enterprises’s financial statements and amortised over the balance period of such long-term asset/liability, by recognition as income or expense in each of such periods.
Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 42
Thus, Exchange Difference on Long term loan amounting ₹ 1,00,000 may either be charged to Profit and Loss A/c or to Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account but exchange difference on trade receivables amounting ₹ 50,847.45 is transferred to Profit & Loss A/c.

Date of actual payment 7.7.2017 : ₹ 73
You are required to ascertain the loss/gain for financial years 2016-17 and 2017-18. also give their treatment as per AS 11.
Answer:
As per AS 11 on ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’, all foreign currency transactions should be recorded by applying the exchange rate on the date of transactions. Thus, goods purchased on 1.1.2017 and corresponding Creditor would be recorded at ₹ 11,25,000 (i.e. ₹ 15,000 × ₹ 75)

According to the standard, at the balance sheet date all monetary transactions shoud be reported using the closing rate. Thus, creditors of US $15,000 on 31.3.217 will be reported at 11,10,000 (ie. $15,000 × ₹ 74) and exchange profit of ₹ 15,000 (i.e. 11,25,000 – 11,10,000) should be credited t0 Profit and Loss account in the year 2016-17.

On 7.7.2017, creditors of $15,000 is paid at the rate of ₹ 73. As per AS 11, exchange difference or settlement of the account should also be transferred to Profit and Loss Account. Therefore, ₹ 15,000 (i.e. 11,10,000 – 10,95,000) will be credited to Profit and Loss Account in the year 2017-18.

Question 66.
How Government grant relating to specific fixed asset is treated in the books as per AS-12?
Answer:
As per AS – 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, Government grant relating to specific fixed asset is treated as follows:

1. Government grants related to specific fixed assets should be presented in the balance sheet by showing the grant as deduction from the gross value of the fixed assets concerned in arriving at their book value.

2. When the grant related to a specific fixed asset equal to the whole, or virtually the whole, of the cost of the asset, the asset should be shown in the balance sheet at a nominal value.

3. Alternatively, government grants related to depreciable fixed assets may be treated as deferred income which should recognised in the profit and loss statement on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of
the asset. i.e. Such grants should be allocated to income over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation on those assets is charged.

(i) Grant related to non – depreciable assets are credited to capital reserve under this method, as there is usually no charge to income in respect of such assets.

(ii) But, when a grant related to a non – depreciable asset requires the fulfillment of certain obligations, the grant is credited to income over the same period over which the cost of certain obligations, the grant is credited to income over the same period over which the cost of meeting such obligations to charged to income.

(iii) Any differed income is suitably disclosed in the balance sheet pending its apportionment to profit & loss account.

Question 67.
How would you record a non-monetary grant received from the Government as per AS-12? (May 2008, 2 marks) (IPCC Gr. II]

Overview of Accounting Standards - CA Inter Accounts Question Bank 51

(ii) The Balance of Fixed Asset in the 3rd Year:
Fixed Asset initially recorded = 80 L – 32 L
= 48 L

1, 4years )
Value of Fixed Asset after 2 years but before
refund = 48,00,000 — (10,00,000 × 2) = ₹ 28,00,000
Value of Fixed Asset after refund
= ₹ 28,00,000 + 32,00,000
= ₹ 60,00,000

(iii) The amount of depreciation for remaining 2 years:
= \(\left(\frac{60,00,000-8,00,000}{2 \text { years }}\right)\) = ₹ 26,00,000 p.a.

If the grant is credited to Deferred Grant Account:
As per AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants,’ income from Deferred Grant Account is allocated to Profit and Loss Account usually over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation on related assets is charged.

Accordingly, in the first two years (₹ 32 lakhs /4 years) = ₹ 8 lakhs pa. × 2 years = ₹ 16 lakhs will be credited to Profit and Loss Account and ₹ 16 lakhs will be the balance of Deferred Grant Account after two years.

Therefore, on refund of grant, following entry will be passed:

1. Value of Fixed Assets after two years but before refund of grant:
Fixed assets initially recorded k the books = ₹ 80 lakhs
Depreciation p.a. = (₹ 80 lakhs – ₹ 8 lakhs)/4 years = ₹ 18 lakhs per year
Book value of fixed assets after two years = ₹ 80 lakhs – (₹ 18 lakhs × 2 years) = 44 Lakhs

2. Value of Fixed Assets after refund of grant:
On refund of grant the balance of deterred grant account will become Nil. The Fixed assets will continue to be shown in the books at ₹ 44 Lakhs.

3. Amount of depreciation for remaining two years:
Depreciation will continue to be charged at ₹ 18 Lakhs per annum for the remaining two years.

Question 80.
A specific government grant of ₹ 15 lakhs was received by USB Ltd. for acquiring the Hi-Tech Diary plant of ₹ 95 lakhs during the year 2014-15. Plant has useful life of 10 years. The grant received was credited to deferred income in the balance sheet. During 2017-18, due to non- compliance of conditions laid down for the grant, the company had to refund the whole grant to the Government. Balance in the deferred income on that date was ₹ 10.50 lakhs and written down value of plant was ₹ 66.50 lakhs.

(i) What should be the treatment of the refund of the grant and the effect on cost of plant and the amount of depreciation to be charged during the year 2017 -18 in profit and loss account?
(ii) What should be the treatment of the refund, if grant was deducted from the cost of the plant during 2014-15 assuming plant account showed the balance of ₹ 56 lakhs as on 1.4.2017?
You are required to explain in the line with provisions of AS 12.
Answer:
As per para 21 of AS 12, ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, “the amount refundable in respect of a grant related to specific fixed asset should be recorded by reducing the deferred income balance. To the extent the amount refundable exceeds any such deferred credit, the amount should be charged to profit and loss statement.

(i) In this case the grant refunded is ₹ 15 lakhs and balance in deferred income is ₹ 10.50 lakhs, ₹ 4.50 lakhs shall be charged to the profit and loss account for the year 2017-18. There will be no effect on the cost of the fixed asset and depreciation charged will be on the same basis as charged in the earlier years.

(ii) If the grant was deducted from the cost of the plant in the year 2014-15 then, para 21 of AS 12 states that the amount refundable in respect of grant which relates to specific fixed assets should be recorded by increasing the book value of the assets, by the amount refundable.

Where the book value of the asset is increased, depreciation on the revised book value should be provided prospectively over the residual useful life of the asset. Therefore, in this case, the book value of the plant shall be increased by ₹ 15 lakhs. The increased cost of ₹ 15 lakhs of the plant should be amortized over 7 years (residual life). Depreciation charged during the year 2017-18 shall be (56+15)/7 years = ₹ 10.14 lakhs presuming the depreciation is charged on SLM.

Question 88.
On 15th June, 2018, Y limited wants to re-classify its investments in accordance with AS-13 (revised). Decide and state the amount of transfer, based on the following information:
1. A portion of long term investments purchased on 1st March, 2017 are to be re-classified as current investments. The original cost of these investments was ₹ 14 lakhs but had been written down by ₹ 2 lakhs (to recognise ‘other than temporary’ decline in value). The market value of these investments on 15th June, 2018 was ₹ 11 lakhs.

2. Another portion of long term investments purchased on 15th January, 2017 are to be re-classified as current investments. The original cost of these investments was ₹ 7 lakhs but had been written down to ₹ 5 lakhs (to recognise ‘other than temporary’ decline in value). The fair value of these investments on 15th June, 2018 was ₹ 4.5 lakhs.

3. A portion of current investments purchased on 15th March, 2018 for ₹ 7 lakhs are to be re-classified as long term investments, as the company has decided to retain them. The market value of these investments on 31st March, 2018 was ₹ 6 lakhs and fair value on 15th June, 2018 was ₹ 8.5 lakhs.
Another portion of current investments purchased on 7th December, 2017 for ₹ 4 lakhs are to be re-classified as long term investments. The market value of these investments was:
Answer:

  • As per AS 13, (Revised) Accounting for Investment, where long-term investments are reclassified as current investments, transfers are made at the lower of cost and carrying amount at the date of transfer.
  • Where investments are reclassified from current to long-term, transfers are made at the lower of cost and fair value at the date of transfers.

1. In the first case, investment is written down by ₹ 2 lakhs as it is other than temporary decline in value. So carrying amount is ₹ 12 lakhs. ₹ 2 lakhs will be charged to P&L A/c. Now this investment is reclassified as current, which will be made at lower cf cost (i.e. 14 lakhs) and carrying amount (i.e. 12 lakhs). Hence, long term investment are reclassified as current investment should be carried at ₹ 12 lakhs.

2. In the second case, investment is written down to ₹ 5 lakhs as it is other than temporary decline in value so carrying amount is ₹ 5 lakhs. ₹ 2 lakhs will be charge to P&L A/c. Now this investment is reclassified as current, so transfer will be made at lower of cost (₹ 7 lakhs) and carrying amount (i.e. 5 lakhs). Hence, long term investment is reclassified as current investment should be carried at ₹ 5 lakhs.

3. In the third case, the fair value on 15th June 2018 was ₹ 8.5 lakhs, which is higher then cost i.e. ₹ 7 lakhs. Therefore the transfer to long term investments should be carried at cost ₹ 7 lakhs.

4. In the forth case, the fair value on 15th June 2018 was ₹ 3.8 lakhs, which is lower than cost i.e. ₹ 4 lakhs. Therefore, the transfer to long term investments should be carried at fair value i.e. ₹ 3.8 lakhs. The loss of ₹ 0.20 lakhs should be charged to P&L A/c.

Question 100.
Raj & Co. has taken a loan of US$ 20,000 at the beginning of the financial year for a specific project at an interest rate of 6% per annum, payable annually. On the day of taking loan, the exchange rate between currencies
was ₹ 48 per 1 USS. The exchange rate at the closing of the financial year was ₹ 50 per 1 USS. The corresponding amount could have been borrowed by the company in Indian Rupee at an interest rate of 11% per annum. Determine the treatment of borrowing cost in the books 0f accounts. (Nov 2013, 4 marks) (ÎPCC Gr. II)
Answer:
The following computations would be made to determine the amount of borrowing costs for the purpose of AS 16’ Borrowing Costs’:

Interest for the period = US $ 20,000 × ₹ 50 per US $ × 6% = ₹ 60,000.
Increase in the liability towards the principal amount
US$ 20,000 × ₹ (50-48) = ₹ 40,000. (A)

Interest that would have resulted it the loan was taken in Indian Currency
= US $20,000 × 48 × 11% = ₹ 1,05,600
Difference between interest on local currency borrowing and foreign currency
borrowing = ₹ 1,05,600 – ₹ 60,000 = ₹ 45,600 (B)

In the above case, ₹ 40,000(A) is less than ₹ 45,600 (B), therefore the entire
exchange difference of ₹ 40,000 would be considered as borrowing costs.
The total borrowing cost would be 1,00,000 (₹ 60,000 + ₹ 40,000)

Show the treatment of interest under Accounting Standard 16 and also explain nature of assets. (May 2014, 5 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
As per AS 16 “Borrowing Costs”, borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset should be capitalised as part of the cost of that asset.

The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation should be determined in accordance with this Standard. Other borrowing costs should be recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

AS 16 also states that to the extent that funds are borrowed specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation on that asset should be determined as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the period less any income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.

Thus, eligible borrowing cost
= ₹ 11,00,000 – ₹ 2,00,000 = ₹ 9,00,000

Question 106.
A company incorporated in June 2017, has setup a factory within a period of 8 months with borrowed funds. The construction period of the assets had reduced drastically due to usage of technical innovations by the company. Whether interest on borrowings for the period prior to the date of setting up the factory should be capitalized although it has taken less than 12 months for the assets to get ready for use. You are required to comment on the necessary treatment with reference to AS 16.
Answer:
As per Para 3.2 to AS 16 ‘Borrowing Costs’, a qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.

Further, Explanation to the above para states that what constitutes a substantial period of time primarily depends on the facts and circumstances of each case. However, ordinarily, a period of twelve months is considered as substantial period of time unless a shorter or longer period can be justified on the basis of facts and circumstances of the case. In estimating the period, time which an asset takes, technologically and commercially, to get it ready for its intended use or sale is considered.

It may be implied that there is a rebuttable presumption that a 12 months period constitutes substantial period of time.

Under present circumstances where construction period has reduced drastically due to technical innovation, the 12 months period should at best be looked at as a benchmark and not as a conclusive yardstick. It may so happen that an asset under normal circumstances may take more than 12 months to complete. However, an enterprise that completes the asset in 8 months should not be penalized for its efficiency by denying it interest capitalization and vice versa.

The Substantial period criteria ensures that enterprises do not spend a lot of time and effort capturing immaterial interest cost for purposes of capitalization.

Therefore, if the factory is constructed in 8 months then it shall be considered as a qualifying asset: The interest on borrowings for the same shall be capitalised although it has taken less than 12 months for the asset to get ready to use.

Question 1.
Briefly define the Fundamental Accounting Assumptions? (Nov 2017, 4 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
Fundamental Accounting Assumptions
As per the Framework on Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, there are three fundamental accounting assumptions: Going Concern, Accrual Basis and Consistency.

1. Going Concern Financial statements are normally prepared on the assumption that an enterprise will continue in operation in the foreseeable future and neither there is intention, nor there is need to materially curtail the scale of operations.
2. Accrual Basis Under this basis of accounting, transactions are recognized as soon as they occur, whether cash or cash equivalent is actually received or paid. Accrual basis ensures better matching between revenue and cost and profit/loss obtained on this basis reflects activities of the enterprise during an accounting period, rather than cash flows generated by it.
3. Consistency It refers to the practice of using same accounting policies for similar transactions in all accounting periods. The consistency improves comparability of financial statements through time.

Question 4.
What are the qualitative characteristics that improve the usefulness of information provided in the financial statements? (May 2007, May 2013, 4 marks each) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
Qualitative characteristics are those attributes which make the information provided in the financial statement useful to the users.

The principal qualitative characteristics are as follows:

1. Understandable
The basic quality of financial statement is that it is understandable by the user. However to understand, the user is expected to have basic knowledge of business and accounting.

2. Relevance
The information provided in the financial statement will loose its importance if it is not relevant. An information is relevant when it influences the decision of users while evaluating the past, present and future.

3. Materiality
The information provided in a financial statement is relevant only if it is material. Materiality provides a threshold rather than being a primary qualitative characteristic.

4. Reliability
The financial statement loses its purpose it it is not reliable. Thus it should be error free and unbiased showing the true and fair picture.

5. Neutrality
The financial statement should be neutral, It should not be a manipulated statement.

6. Completeness
The financial statement should be complete in all respect within the boundary of materiality and cost. An omission can cause information misleading.

7. Substance over form
The purpose of financial statement is to provide information. it should be thus presented in accordance with their substance and economic reality arid not merely their legal form.

8. Comparability
The measurement and display of information should be consistent in order to make it comparable over times to come.

Question 5.
“One of the characteristics of financial statements in neutrality” – Do you agree with this statement? Explain in brief. (May 2008, 2, 5 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
Yes, one of the characteristics of financial statements is neutrality. To be reliable, the information contained in financial statements must be neutral, that is free from bias. Financial Statements are not neutral if by the selection or presentation of information, the focus of analysis could shift from one area of business to another thereby arriving at a totally different conclusion based on the business results.

Question 6.
Give the four qualitative characteristics which the financial statements should observe. (Nov 2008, 2 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
The financial statements should have the following qualitative characteristics:

  1. Understandability
  2. Relevance

Write short note on main elements of Financial Statements. (May 2017, 4 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
OR
Answer the following:
Briefly explain the elements of financial statements. (May 2018, 5 marks)
Answer:
Elements of Financial Statements:
The Framework for preparation and presentation of financial statements classifies items of financial statements. Financial statements can be classified in five broad groups depending on their economic characteristics:

1. Asset
Resource controlled by the enterprise as a result of past events from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the enterprise.

2. Liability
Present obligation of the enterprise arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow of a resource embodying economic benefits.

3. Equity
Residual interest in the assets of an enterprise after deducting all its liabilities.

4. Income/Gain
lncease in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of mf lows or enhancement of assets or decreases in liabilities that result in increase in equity other than those relating to contributions from equity participants.

5. Expense/Loss
Decrease in economic benefits during the accounting period in the form of outflows or depletions of assets or incurrence of liabilities that result in decrease in equity other than those relating to distributions to equity participants.

Question 9.
Explain in brief, the alternative measurement bases, for determining the value at which an element can be recognized in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Profit and Loss. (Nov 2016, 4 marks) [IPCC Gr. II]
Answer:
