CA Inter Advanced Accounting Important Question - 8


Chapter 1: Framework for preparation and presentation of financial Statements

Question 1.

Explain how financial capital is maintained at historical cost? 

Kishore started a business on 1st April, 20X1 with ₹ 15,00,000 represented by 75,000 units of ₹ 20 each. During the financial year ending on 31st March, 20X2, he sold the entire stock for ₹ 30 each. In order to maintain the capital intact, calculate the maximum amount, which can be withdrawn by Kishore in the year 20X1-X2 if Financial Capital is maintained at historical cost.

Answer: 

Financial capital maintenance at historical cost: Under this convention, opening and closing assets are stated at respective historical costs to ascertain opening and closing equity. If retained profit is greater than or equals to zero, the capital is said to be maintained at historical costs. This means the business will have enough funds to replace its assets at historical costs. This is quite right as long as prices do not rise.

Maximum amount withdrawn by Kishore in year 20X1-X2 if Financial capital is maintained at historical cost.

Particulars  Financial Capital Maintenance at Historical Cost (₹)
Closing equity (₹ 30 x 75,000 units)  22,50,000 represented by cash
Opening equity  75,000 units x ₹ 20 = 15,00,000
Permissible drawings to keep Capital intact  7,50,000 (22,50,000 – 15,00,000)

Thus ₹ 7,50,000 is the maximum amount that can be withdrawn by Kishore in year 20X1-X2 if Financial capital is maintained at historical cost.

Question 2.

A trader commenced business on 01/01/20X1 with ₹ 12,000 represented by 6,000 units of a certain product at₹ 2 per unit. During the year 20X1 he sold these units at ₹ 3 per unit and had withdrawn ₹ 6,000. Let us assume that the price of the product at the end of year is ₹ 2.50 per unit. In other words, the specific price index applicable to the product is 125.

Current cost of opening stock = (₹ 12,000 / 100) x 125 = 6,000 x ₹ 2.50 = ₹ 15,000

Current cost of closing cash = ₹ 12,000 (₹ 18,000 – ₹ 6,000)

Opening equity at closing current costs = ₹ 15,000

Closing equity at closing current costs = ₹ 12,000

Retained Profit = ₹ 12,000 – ₹ 15,000 = (-) ₹ 3,000

The negative retained profit indicates that the trader has failed to maintain his capital. The available fund of₹ 12,000 is not sufficient to buy 6,000 units again at increased price of ₹ 2.50 per unit. The drawings should have been restricted to ₹ 3,000 (₹ 6,000 – ₹ 3,000). Had the trader withdrawn ₹ 3,000 instead of ₹ 6,000, he would have left with ₹15,000, the fund required to buy 6,000 units at ₹ 2.50 per unit.

You are required to compute the Capital maintenance under all three bases ie. (i) Historical costs, (ii) Current purchasing power and (iii) Physical capital maintenance.

You are required to calculate the maximum amount which can be withdrawn by Mille in order to keep her capital intact, if Financial Capital is maintained at:

(i) Historical Cost

(ii) Current Purchasing Power (opening index at 100 and closing index at 125)

(iii) Physical Capital Maintenance (Price per unit at the end of year is ₹ 1,350)

Chapter 2: Accounting Standard

AS 1 - Disclosure of Accounting Policies 

Question 1.

Discuss Disclosure requirements in following cases as per AS 1.

(i) Accountant of A Ltd. charges a probable loss of losing a suit in books of accounts and also disclosed the same fact in financial statements. The probability of losing the suitis 25%. 

(ii) Accountant of A Ltd. capitalized all the revenue expenses of repair and maintenance during the year to Plant & Machinery and is also disclosing the same as company policy in financial statements. 

(iii) A Ltd. has followed accrual basis -of accounting since incorporation. The chief accountant also disclosed this fact in financial statements.  

(iv) A Ltd. was providing for after sales expenses @ 2% of sales for covering expenses during the warranty period. Now A Ltd. observes that actual after sales expenses were much less as compared to provision because of better technology used in manufacturing of the products. Now, the Board of A Ltd. decides to account for these expenses as and when they occur. Sales during the period are ₹50 crores.  

Answer: 

(i) In this case, accountant of company created a provision for damages of probability of losing a suit by a charge against profits. Unless the probability of losing the suit is more than probability of not losing it, there should not be any creation of provision for such probable losses. So there is no need to charge such loss against profit and disclosing the same in financial statements.   

(ii) Repairs and maintenance are revenue expenditure and should not be added to the value of assets, as these expenses do not increase the capacity of asset. Hence such expenses should be charged to profit & loss statement. Further the chief accountant also disclosed its policy of adding repairs to value of assets by way of notes to accounts. As per AS 1 disclosure is not a method to correct the wrong treatments. So the contention of chief accountant is wrong. 

(iii) Accrual is one of the Fundamental accounting assumptions. If fundamental accounting assumptions are followed properly then no specific disclosure is required Disclosure is required only when there is deviation and the company is not following fundamental accounting assumptions. So the company need not disclose this in financial statements.  

(iv) As per AS 1, any change in the accounting policies which has a material effect in the current period or which is reasonably expected to have a material effect in later periods should be disclosed. Accordingly, the notes on accounts should properly disclose the change and its effect.

Note: So far, the company has been providing 2% of sales for meeting after sales expenses during the warranty period. Now the company has improved the quality of its products with better technology and has been observing that actual expenses are very less than the provision, Hence, the company has decided not to make provision for such expenses but to account for the same as and when expenses are incurred. Due to this change, the profit for the year is increased by ₹1 crore than would have been the case if the old policy were to continue.  

Question 2. 

In the books of Rani Ltd., closing inventory as on 31.03.2020 amounts to ₹1,75,000 (valued on the basis of FIFO method). The Company decides to change from FIFO method to weighted average method for ascertaining the costs of inventory from the year 2019-20.  On the basis of weighted average method, closing inventory as on 31.03.2020 amounts to ₹1,59,000. Realizable value of the inventory as on 31.03.2020 amounts to ₹2,07,000. Discuss disclosure requirements of change in accounting policy as per AS 1.

AS 17 - Segment Reporting 

Question 1. 

The Chief Accountant of Cotton Garments Limited gives the following data regarding its five segments:

Particulars A B C D E Total
Segment Assets 40 15 10 10 5 80
Segment Results (95) 5 5 (5) 15 (75)
Segment Revenue 310 40 30 40 30 450

The Chief Accountant is of the opinion that segment "A" alone should be reported. Is he justified in his view? Examine his opinion in the light of provisions of AS 17 'Segment Reporting'.

Answer: 

As per AS 17 ‘Segment Reporting’, a business segment or geographical segment should be identified as a reportable segment if:

(i) Its revenue from sales to external customers and from other transactions with other segments is 10% or more of the total revenue- external and internal of all segments; or

(ii) Its segment result whether profit or loss is 10% or more of:

(1) The combined result of all segments in profit; or

(2) The combined result of all segments in loss,

whichever is greater in absolute amount; or

(iii) Its segment assets are 10% or more of the total assets of all segments.

Further, if the total external revenue attributable to reportable segments constitutes less than 75% of total enterprise revenue, additional segments should be identified as reportable segments even if they do not meet the 10% thresholds until at least  75% of total enterprise revenue is included in reportable segments.

Accordingly,

(a) On the basis of revenue from sales criteria, segment A is a reportable segment.

(b) On the basis of the result criteria, segments A & E are reportable segments (since their results in absolute amount is 10% or more of ₹ 100 crore).

(c) On the basis of asset criteria, all segments except E are reportable segments.

Since all the segments are covered in atleast one of the above criteria, all segments have to be reported upon in accordance with AS 17.

Hence, the opinion of chief accountant that only segment ‘A’ is reportable is wrong.

Question 2. 

ABC Limited has 5 segments namely A, B, C, D and E. The profit/loss of each segment for the year ended March 31st, 20X2 is as follows

Segment  Profit/(Loss) (₹ in crore) 
A 780
B 1,500
C (2,300)
D (4,500)
E 6,000
Total 1,480

AS 24 - Discountinuing Operations 

Question 1. 

Arzoo Ltd. is in the business of manufacture of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The company is working on a strategic plan to shift from the passenger car segment to the commercial vehicles segment over the coming 5 years. However, no specific plans have been drawn up for sale of neither the division nor its assets. As part of its plan, it has planned that it will reduce the production of passenger cars by 20% annually. It also plans to commence another new factory for the manufacture of commercial vehicles plus transfer of employees in a phased manner. These plans have not approved from the Board of Directors and the new factory for manufacture of commercial vehicles has not yet started. You are required to comment if mere gradual phasing out in itself can be considered as a ‘Discontinuing Operation' within the meaning of AS 24.

Answer: 

Mere gradual phasing out is not considered as discontinuing operation as defined under AS 24, ‘Discontinuing Operations’.

Examples of activities that do not necessarily satisfy criterion of the definition, but that might do so in combination with other circumstances, include:

  1. Gradual or evolutionary phasing out of a product line or class of service;
  2. Discontinuing, even if relatively abruptly, several products within an ongoing line of business;
  3. Shifting of some production or marketing activities for a particular line of business from one location to another; and
  4. Closing of a facility to achieve productivity improvements or other cost savings.
  5. In view of the above, mere gradual phasing out in itself cannot be considered as discontinuing operation. The companies’ strategic plan also has no final approval from the board through a resolution and there is no specific time bound activities like shifting of assets and employees. Moreover, the new segment i.e. commercial vehicle production line in a new factory has not started.

Question 2. 

Rohini Limited is in the business of manufacture of passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The Company is working on a strategic plan to close the production of passenger cars and to produce only commercial vehicles over the coming 5 years. However, no specific plans have been drawn up for sale of neither the division nor its assets. As part of its prospective plan it will reduce the production of passenger cars by 20% annually. It also plans to establish another new factory for the manufacture of commercial vehicles and transfer surplus employees in a phased manner. You are required to comment:

(i) If mere gradual phasing out in itself can be considered as a 'discontinuing operation' within the meaning of AS-24.

(ii) If the Company passes a resolution to sell some of the assets in the passenger car division and also to transfer few other assets of the passenger car division to the new factory, does this trigger the application of AS-24?

(iii) Would your answer to the above be different if the Company resolves to sell the assets of the passenger car division in a phased but time bound manner?

3rd quarter ending on 30th June, 20X1 200 *30%  ₹  60 lakhs
4th quarter ending on 30th September, 20X1 200 *30% ₹  60 lakhs

 

Question 2. 

Intelligent Corporation (I−Corp.) is dealing in seasonal products. The quarterly sales pattern of the product is given below:

Quarter I II III IV
Ending 30th June 30th September 31st December 31st March
15%  15%  50% 25%

For the First quarter ending 30th June, 20X1, I−Corp. gives you the following information:

  ₹ crores
Sales 50
Salary and other expenses 30
Advertisement expenses (routine) 02
Administrative and selling expenses 08

While preparing interim financial report for the first quarter, ‘I−Corp.’ wants to defer ₹ 21 crores expenditure to third quarter on the argument that third quarter is having more sales, therefore, third quarter should be debited by higher expenditure, considering the seasonal nature of business and that the expenditures are uniform throughout all quarters.

AS 2 - Valuation of Inventory 

Question 1. 

Mr. Jatin gives the following information relating to the items forming part of the inventory as on 31.03.20X1. His enterprise produces product P using Raw Material X.

  1. 900 units of Raw Material X (purchases @ Rs. 100 per unit). Replacement cost of Raw Material X as on 31.03.20X1 is Rs. 80 per unit
  2. 400 units of partly finished goods in the process of producing P. Cost incurred till date is Rs. 245 per unit. These units can be finished next year by incurring additional cost of Rs. 50 per unit. 
  3. 800 units of Finished goods P and total cost incurred is Rs. 295 per unit.

Expected selling price of product P is Rs. 280 per unit, subject to a payment of 5% brokerage on selling price. 

Determine how each item of inventory will be valued as on 31.03.20X1

Also calculate the value of total Inventory as on 31.03.20X1.

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 net realizable value, the materials are written down to net realizable value. In such circumstances, the replacement cost of the materials may be the best available measure of their net realizable value. In the given case, selling price of product P is Rs. 266 and total cost per unit for production is Rs. 295.

Hence the valuation will be done as under: 

  1. 900 units of raw material X will be written down to replacement cost as market value of finished product is less than its cost, hence valued at Rs. 80 per unit. 
  2. 400 units of partly finished goods will be valued at 216 per unit i.e., lower of cost (Rs. 245) or Net realizable value Rs. 216 (Estimated selling price Rs. 266 per unit less additional cost of Rs. 50).
  3. 800 units of finished product P will be valued at NRV of Rs. 266 per unit since it is lower than cost Rs. 295. 

Valuation of Total Inventory as on 31.03.20X1:

  Units Cost (Rs.) NRV/Replacement cost Value = units x cost or NRV whichever is less (Rs.)
Raw material X 900 100 80 72,000
Partly finished goods 400 245 216 86,400
Finished goods P  800  295  266 2,12,800
Value of Inventory       3,71,200

 

Question 2. 

You are required to value the inventory per kg of finished goods consisting of:

  ₹ per Kg
Material cost 200
Direct labout 40
Direct variable overhead 20

Fixed production charges for the year on normal working capacity of 2 lakh kgs is ₹ 20 lakhs.  4,000 kgs of finished goods are in stock at the year end

AS 16 - Borrowing Costs 

Question 1. 

On 15th April, 20X1 RBM Ltd. obtained a Term Loan from the Bank for ₹ 320 lakhs to be utilized as under:

  ₹ (in lakhs)
Construction of factory shed 240
Purchase of Machinery 30
Working Capital 24
Purchase of Vehicles 12
Advances for tools/cranes etc. 8
Purchase of technical know how 6

In March, 20X2 construction of shed was completed and machinery was installed. Total interest charged by the bank for the year ending 31st March, 20X2 was ₹ 40 lakhs.

In the context of provisions of AS 16 'Borrowing Costs', show the treatment of interest and also explain the nature of Assets.

Answer: 

According to AS 16 ‘Borrowing costs’, qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use. As per the standard, borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset should be capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs should be recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Capitalization of borrowing costs is also not suspended when a temporary delay is a necessary part of the process of getting an asset ready for its intended use or sale.

The treatment of interest by RBM Ltd. can be shown as:

  Qualifying Asset Interest to be capitalized Interest to be charged to Profit & Loss A/c  
    (₹ in lakhs) (₹ in lakhs)  
Construction for factory shed Yes 30   40/320 x 240
Purchase of machinery No   3.75 40/320 x 30

AS 28 - Impairment of Assets

Question 1. 

X Ltd. purchased a Property, Plant and Equipment four years ago for ₹ 150 lakhs and depreciates it at 10% p.a. on straight line method.  At the end of the fourth year, it has revalued the asset at ₹ 75 lakhs and has written off the loss on revaluation to the profit and loss account.However, on the date of revaluation, the market price is ₹ 67.50 lakhs and expected disposal costs are ₹ 3 lakhs.  

What will be the treatment in respect of impairment loss on the basis that fair value for revaluation purpose is determined by market value and the value in use is estimated at ₹ 60 lakhs ?. 

Answer: 

Treatment of Impairment Loss 

As per AS 28 “Impairment of assets”, if the recoverable amount (higher of net selling price andits value in use) of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the assetshould be reduced to its recoverable amount. In the given case, net selling price is ₹ 64.50lakhs (₹ 67.50 lakhs – ₹ 3 lakhs) and value in use is ₹ 60 lakhs. Therefore, recoverable amounwill be ₹ 64.50 lakhs. Impairment loss will be calculated as ₹ 10.50 lakhs [₹ 75 lakhs (CarryingAmount after revaluation - Refer Working Note) less ₹ 64.50 lakhs (Recoverable Amount)].  

Thus impairment loss of ₹ 10.50 lakhs should be recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss immediately since there was downward revaluation of asset which was already charged to Statement of Profit and Loss. 

Working Note: 

Calculation of carrying amount of the Property, Plant and Equipment at the end of the fourth year on revaluation 

   (₹ in lakhs) 
Purchase price of a Property, Plant and Equipment  150.00 
Less: Depreciation for four years [(150 lakhs / 10 years) x 4 years]  (60.00) 
Carrying value at the end of fourth year  90.00 
Less: Downward revaluation charged to profit and loss account  (15.00) 
Revalued carrying amount  75.00

AS 29 - (Revised) Provision, Contingments Liabilities and Contingment Assets 

Question 1. 

A Limited sells goods with unlimited right of return to its customers .

The following pattern has been observed in the Return of Sales:

Time frame of Return from date of purchase % of Cumulative Sales
Between 0-1 month 6%
Between 1-2 months 7%
Between 2-3 months 8%

The Company has made Sales of ₹ 36 Lakhs in the month of January, ₹ 48 Lakhs in the month of February and of ₹ 60 Lakhs in the month of March. The Total Sales for the Financial Year have been ₹ 400 Lakhs and the Cost of Sales was ₹ 320 Lakhs. You are required to determine the amount of Provision to be made and Revenue to be recognized as on 31st March.

Answer: 

Amount of provision

The goods are sold with a right to return. The existence of such right gives rise to a present obligation on the company as per AS 29, 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets'. According to the standard, a provision should be created on the Balance sheet date, for sales returns after the Balance Sheet date, at the best estimate of the loss expected, along with any estimated incremental cost that would be necessary to resell the goods expected to be returned.

Revenue to be recognized
 
Revenue in respect of sale of goods is recognized fully at the time of sale itself assumed that the company has complied with the conditions stated in AS 9 relating to recognition of revenue in the case of sale of goods. As per AS 9, in a transaction involving the sale of goods, performance should be regarded as being achieved when the following conditions have been fulfilled:
 
(i) Seller of goods has transferred to the buyer the property in the goods for a price or all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the seller retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree usually associated with ownership; and
(ii) No significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived from the sale of the goods. AS 9 also provides that in case of retail sales offering a guarantee of money back, if not completely satisfied, it may be appropriate to recognize the sale but to make a suitable provision for returns based on previous experiences.
 
Therefore, sale of ₹ 36 lakhs, ₹ 48 lakhs and ₹ 60 lakhs made in the months of January, February and March will be recognized at full value. Thus, total revenue to be recognized for RS. 400 lacs for the year.

AS 4 - Contingencies and Event occuring after the Balance Sheet Date

Question 1. 

With reference to AS 4 "Contingencies and events occurring after the balance sheet date", state whether the following events will be treated as contingencies, adjusting events or non-adjusting events occurring after balance sheet date in case of a company which follows April to March as its financial year.

(i) A major fire has damaged the assets in a factory on 5th April, 5 days after the year-end. However, the assets are fully insured and the books have not been approved by the Directors.

(ii) A suit against the company's advertisement was filed by a party on 10th April, 10 days after the year-end claiming damages of ₹ 20 lakhs.

Answer: 

According to AS 4 on ‘Contingencies and Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet Date’, adjustments to assets and liabilities are required for events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide additional information materially affecting the determination of the amounts relating to conditions existing at the balance sheet date.

However, adjustments to assets and liabilities are not appropriate for events occurring after the balance sheet date, if such events do not relate to conditions existing at the balance sheet date. “Contingencies” used in the Standard is restricted to conditions or situations at the balance sheet date, the financial effect of which is to be determined by future events which may or may not occur.

(i) Fire has occurred after the balance sheet date and also the loss is totally insured. Therefore, the event becomes immaterial and the event is non-adjusting in nature.

(ii) The contingency is restricted to conditions existing at the balance sheet date.

However, in the given case, suit was filed against the company’s advertisement by a party on 10th April for amount of ₹ 20 lakhs. Therefore, it does not fit into the definition of a contingency and hence is a non-adjusting event.

Question 2. 

As per the provision of AS 4, you are required to state with reason whether the following transaction are adjusting event or non-adjusting event for the year ended 31.03.20X2 in the books of NEW Ltd. (accounts of the company were approved by board of directors on 10.07.20X2):

AS 5 - Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies 

Question 1. 

i. During the year 20X1-20X2, a medium size manufacturing company wrote down its inventories to net realisable value by ₹ 5,00,000. Is a separate disclosure necessary?

ii. A company signed an agreement with the Employees Union on 1.9.20X1 for revision of wages with retrospective effect from 30.9.20X0. This would cost the company an additional liability of ₹ 5,00,000 per annum. Is a disclosure necessary for the amount paid in 20X1-X2? 

Answer: 

(i) Although the case under consideration does not relate to extraordinary item, but the nature and amount of such item may be relevant to users of financial statements in understanding the financial position and performance of an enterprise and in making projections about financial position and performance. AS 5 on ‘Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies’ states that:

“When items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such items should be disclosed separately.”

Circumstances which may give to separate disclosure of items of income and expense in accordance with AS 5 include the write-down of inventories to net realisable value as well as the reversal of such write-downs.

(ii) It is given that revision of wages took place on 1st September, 20X1 with retrospective effect from 30.9.20X0. Therefore wages payable for the half year from 1.10.20X1 to 31.3.20X2 cannot be taken as an error or omission in the preparation of financial statements and hence this expenditure cannot be taken as a prior period item.

Additional wages liability of ₹7,50,000 (for 1½ years @ ₹ 5,00,000 per annum) should be included in current year’s wages. It may be mentioned that additional wages is an expense arising from the ordinary activities of the company. Such an expense does not qualify as an extraordinary item. However, as per AS 5, when items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such items should be disclosed separately.

AS 11 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchanges Rates 

Question 1. 

During the financial year 20X1-X2, Zeds Ltd., an e-commerce firm entered into a foreign currency transaction relating to fees for technical services paid to a Lucas Ltd., an Atlanta based organisation in the USA. The transaction was for $24,000, which was entered into on 07.12.20X1. The payment for the same was made on 20.05.20X2. Given that the exchange rates are: on 07.12.20X1: $1 = ₹ 68.80; on 01.01.20X1: $1 = ₹ 68.95; on 31.03.20X2: $1 = ₹ 70.45; on 20.05.20X2: $1 = ₹ 71.50.

You are required to:

(a) ascertain the amount at which the transaction would get recognised in the books; and

(b) calculate amount of foreign exchange gain/ loss to be recorded in the financial statement for the years 20X1-X2 and 20X2-X3.

Answer: 

(a) As per AS 11, a foreign currency transaction should be recorded, on initial recognition in the reporting currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the exchange rate between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date of the transaction.

⸫ Fees for technical services $24,000 would be recorded on 07.12.20X1 applying the exchange rate existing on that date = 24,000 × ₹ 68.80 = ₹ 16,51,200.

(b) For 20X1-X2:

On 31.03.20X2, Outstanding fess for technical services should be reflected in the balance sheet using the closing rate ($1 = ₹ 70.45) i.e. 24,000 × ₹ 70.45 = ₹ 16,90,800.

⸫ Exchange loss to be charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss = ₹ (16,90,800 – 16,51,200) = ₹ 39,600.

For 20X2-X3:

On 20.05.20X2, Outstanding fess for technical services paid should be recognised using the existing rate ($1

= ₹ 71.50) i.e. 24,000 × ₹ 71.50 = ₹ 17,16,000.

⸫ Exchange loss on settlement to be charged to the Statement of Profit and Loss = ₹ (17,16,000 – 16,90,800)

= ₹ 25,200.

Show how Contract revenue would be recognized in the P & L A/c of Mr. Rajendra each year

Answer: 

Year 1
Actual expenditure 8,60,000
Future estimated expenditure 10,00,000
Total Expenditure  18,60,000

% of work completed = 8,60,000/18,60,000 x 100 = 46.24% (rounded off) 

Revenue to be recognized = 20,00,000 x 46.24% = ₹ 9,24,800

Year 2
Actual expenditure 4,75,000
Future Expenditure 4,00,000
Expenditure incurred in Year 1  8,60,000
  17,35,000

% of work completed = 4,75,000+8,60,000/17,35,000= 76.95% (rounded off) 

Revenue to be recognized (cumulative) = 20,00,000 x 76.95% 15,39,000
Less: revenue recognized in Year 1    (9,24,800) 
Revenue to be recognized in Year 2   ₹ 6,14,200

Year 3

Whole contract got completed therefore total contract value less revenue recognized up to year 2 will be amount of revenue to be recognized in year 3 i.e. 20,00,000 – 15,39,000 (9,24,800 + 6,14,200) = ₹ 4,61,000.

AS 9 - Revenue Recognition

Question 1. 

Mithya Ltd. entered into agreement with Satya Ltd. for sale of goods costing ₹ 8 lakh at a profit of 20% on cost. The sale transaction took place on 1st February, 2024. On the same day, Satya Ltd. entered into another agreement with Mithya Ltd. to resell the same goods at ₹ 10.80 lakh on 1st August, 2024. State the treatment of this transaction in the financial statements of Mithya Ltd. as on 31.03.2024. The predetermined re selling price covers the holding cost of Satya Ltd. Give the Journal Entries as on 31.03.2024 in the books of Mithya Ltd.

Answer: 

In the given case, Mithya Ltd. concurrently agreed to repurchase the same goods from Satya Ltd. on 1st February, 2024. Also the re-selling price is pre-determined and covers purchasing and holding costs of Satya Ltd. Hence, the transaction between Mithya Ltd. and Satya Ltd. on 1st February, 2024 should be accounted for as financing rather than sale. The resulting cash flow of ₹ 9.60 lakh received by Mithya Ltd., cannot be considered as revenue as per AS 9 “Revenue Recognition”.

AS 23 - Accounting for Investments in Associates in Consolidated Financial Statement 

Question 1. 

A Ltd. invested ₹ 1,00,000 to acquire 10% stake (Investment I) in B Ltd.and later invested ₹ 3,00,000 to acquire additional 20% (Investment II). The net asset value of the B ltd. at the respective investment dates was ₹ 7,50,000 and ₹ 12,50,000 respectively. Determine whether B Ltd. is an associate of A Ltd. Also, calculate goodwill arising on the acquisition of the associate.

Answer: 

As per para 3 of AS 23 an associate is an enterprise in which the investor has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture of the investor. Significant influence may be gained by share ownership, statute or agreement. As regards share ownership, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly through subsidiary(ies), 20% or more of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case. In this case, A Ltd. has invested 30 % in B Ltd. so B Ltd. is to be considered as an associate of A Ltd.

The goodwill arising on the acquisition of the associate will be computed as follows:

   
Investment I    1,00,000
Share of net assets (10 percent of ₹ 7,50,000) (75,000)
Goodwill (A)   25,000
Investment II   3,00,000
Share of net assets  (20 percent of ₹ 12,50,000) (2,50,000)
Goodwill (B)   50,000
Total goodwill (A + B)   75,000

Chapter 3: Preparation of Financial Statements

Question 1.

Sumedha Ltd. took a loan from bank for ₹ 10,00,000 to be settled within 5 years in 10 equal half yearly instalments with interest. First instalment is due on 30.09.20X1 of ₹ 1,00,000. Determine how the loan will be classified in preparation of Financial Statements of Sumedha Ltd. for the year ended 31st March, 20X1 according to Schedule III.

Answer: 

As per Schedule III, a liability should be classified as current when it satisfies any of the following criteria:

(i) it is expected to be settled in the company’s normal operating cycle;

(iii) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date; or

In the given case, installments due on 30.09.20X1 and 31.03.20X2 will be shown under the head ‘other current liabilities’ as per criteria (iii).

Therefore, in the balance sheet as on 31.3.20X1, ₹ 8,00,000 (₹ 1,00,000 x 8 instalments) will be shown under the heading ‘Long term Borrowings’ and ₹ 2,00,000 (₹ 1,00,000 x 2 instalments) will be shown under the heading ‘Other Current Liabilities’ as current maturities of loan from bank.

Date of reclassification/transfer – 15 May, 20X2

Per Unit Cost of 16,100 shares held – ₹ 25,00,100/16,100 shares – ₹ 155.29

Market Price/Fair Value per share – ₹ 180

As the cost per unit is lower than its fair value, the shares are to be transferred at its cost i.e., at ₹ 155.29 per share on 15 May 20X2

Note:

1. In the eight last line of the question, investment in equity shares of G Ltd. was wrongly printed as Z Ltd. in the question paper. In the above solution, it has been considered as investment in G Ltd. If considered as Investment in equity shares in Z Ltd. (some other investment and not investment in G Ltd.), then the cost of the investment for shares in Z Ltd. will not be available.

2. The entire amount of sale proceeds from rights has been credited to Profit and Loss account in the above solution. However, the sale proceeds of rights in respect of 7,000 shares (purchased cum right on 1.5.20) can be applied to reduce the carrying amount of such investments (without crediting it to profit and loss account) considering that the value of these shares has reduced after becoming their ex -right. In that case, ₹ 22,500 (67,500X 7/21) will be applied to reduce the carrying amount of investment and ₹ 45,000 will be credited to profit and loss account.

The most striking experience that I went through was the the way Yash sir and Ruchika ma'am taught us in the lectures, making it very interesting and lucid. Another great feature of Koncept is that you get mentor calls which I think drives you to stay motivated and be disciplined.
