Q1. (a) Under what circumstances can an enterprise change its accounting policy?
(b) Ram Co. (P) Ltd. furnishes you the following information for the year ended 31.3.2005:
Depreciation for the year ended 31.3.2005 (under straight line method) Depreciation for the year ended 31.3.2005 (under written down value method) Excess of depreciation for the earlier years calculated under written down value method over straight line method |
Rs 100 lakhs Rs 200 lakhs Rs 500 lakh |
The Company wants to change its method of claiming depreciation from straight line
method to written down value method.
Decide, how the depreciation should be disclosed in the Financial Statement for the year
ended 31.3.2005.
Answer
(a) A change in accounting policy is made only if the adoption of a different accounting policy
is required by statute or for compliance with an accounting standard or if it is considered
that the change would result in a more appropriate preparation or presentation of the financial
statements of the enterprise. A more appropriate presentation of events or transactions in the
financial statements occurs when the new accounting policy results in more relevant or reliable
information about the financial position, performance or cash flows of the enterprise.
(b) As per para 21 of AS 26 ‘Intangible Assets’, when a change in the method of depreciation
is made, depreciation should be calculated in accordance with the new method from the date
of the asset coming into use. The deficiency or surplus arising from retrospective
recomputation should be adjusted in the accounts in the year in which the method of
depreciation is changed. The deficiency should be charged to profit and loss account.
Similarly, any surplus should be credited in the statement of profit and loss. Such
change is a change in the accounting policy, and its effect should be quantified and disclosed.
In the given case, the deficiency of Rs 500 lakhs would be charged to the profit and loss account
of 31.3.2005. In the notes to account, the fact of change in method of depreciation should be
elaborated along with the effect of Rs 500 lakhs. The current depreciation charge of 200 lakhs
determined in accordance with the written down value method should be debited to the profit
and loss account.
Q2. (i) A machinery costing Rs 10 lakhs has useful life of 5 years. After the end of 5 years, its
scrap value would be Rs 1 lakh. How much depreciation is to be charged in the books of
the company as per Accounting Standard-6?
(ii) Garden Ltd. acquired fixed assets viz. plant and machinery for Rs20 lakhs. During the same
year it sold its furniture and fixtures for Rs5 lakhs. Can the company disclose, net cash outflow
towards purchase of fixed assets in the cash flow statement as per AS-3?
(iii) ABC Ltd. gave 50,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each (fully paid up) in consideration for supply
of certain machinery by X & Co. The shares exchanged for machinery are quoted on Bombay
Stock Exchange (BSE) at Rs 15 per share, at the time of transaction. In the absence of fair
market value of the machinery acquired, how the value of machinery would be recorded in the
books of the company?
(iv) A company took a construction contract for Rs 100 lakhs in January, 2006. It was found that
80% of the contract was completed at a cost of Rs 92 lakhs on the closing date i.e. on
31.3.2007. The company estimates further expenditure of Rs 23 lakhs for completing the
contract. The expected loss would be Rs 15 lakhs. Can the company recognise the loss in the
financial statements prepared for the year ended 31.3.2007?
Answer
(i) As per paragraph 20 of AS 6 ‘Depreciation Accounting’, the depreciable amount of a
depreciable asset should be allocated on a systematic basis to each accounting period during
the useful life of the asset. In the given case, the depreciation amount can be calculated as
follows:
Rs | |
Cost of machinery Less: Scrap value at the end of useful life Amount to be written off during useful life of machinery Useful life of the asset Depreciation to be provided each year (Rs9,00,000 / 5 years) |
10,00,000 1,00,000 9,00,000 5 Years Rs 1,80,000 |
(ii) According to Para 21 of AS 3 (Revised) ‘Cash Flow Statements’, an enterprise should report
separately major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments arising from investing
and financing activities, except to the extent that cash flows described in paragraphs 22 and 24
are reported on a net basis. Acquisition and disposal of fixed assets is not prescribed in para 22
and 24 of the standard.
Hence, the company cannot disclose net cash flow in respect of acquisition of plant and
machinery and disposal of furnitures and fixtures.
(iii) As per paragraph 22 of AS 10 ‘Accounting for Fixed Assets’ , fixed asset acquired in
exchange for shares or other securities in the enterprise should be recorded at its fair market
value, or the fair market value of the securities issued, whichever is more clearly evident. Since,
the market value of the shares exchanged for the asset is more clearly evident, the company
should record the value of machinery at Rs 7,50,000. (i.e., 50,000 shares Rs15 per share being
the market price)
(iv) As per paragraphs 31 and 35 of AS 7 on Construction Contracts, an expected loss on the
construction contract should be recognized as an expense immediately irrespective of (i)
whether or not the work has commenced on the contract; or (ii) the stage of completion of the
contract; or (iii) the amount of profits expected to arise in other contracts.
Hence, the company must recognize the loss immediately.
Q3. When can a company change its accounting policy?
Answer A change in accounting policy should be made in the following conditions:
(i) If the change is required by some statute or for compliance with an Accounting Standard.
(ii) Change would result in more appropriate presentation of the financial statement.
Change in accounting policy may have a material effect on the items of financial statements.
For example, if depreciation method is changed from straight-line method to written-down
value method, or if cost formula used for inventory valuation is changed from weighted average
to FIFO, or if interest is capitalized which was earlier not in practice, or if proportionate amount
of interest is changed to inventory which was earlier not the practice, all these may increase or
decrease the net profit. Unless the effect of such change in accounting policy is quantified, the
financial statements may not help the users of accounts. Therefore, it is necessary to quantify
the effect of change on financial statement items like assets, liabilities, profit / loss.
Q4. List the criteria to be applied for rating an enterprise as Level-I enterprise for the purpose of
compliance of Accounting Standards in India.
Answer Non-corporate entities which fall in any one or more of the following categories, at the
end of the relevant accounting period, are classified as Level I entities:
(i) Entities whose equity or debt securities are listed or are in the process of listing on any stock
exchange, whether in India or outside India.
(ii) Banks (including co-operative banks), financial institutions or entities carrying on insurance
business.
(iii) All commercial, industrial and business reporting entities, whose turnover (excluding other
income) exceeds rupees fifty crore in the immediately preceding accounting year.
(iv) All commercial, industrial and business reporting entities having borrowings (including
public deposits) in excess of rupees ten crore at any time during the immediately preceding
accounting year.
(v) Holding and subsidiary entities of any one of the above
Q5. Best Ltd. deals in five products, P, Q, R, S, and T which are neither similar nor
interchangeable. At the time of closing of its accounts for the year ending 31st March 2010, the
historical cost and net realizable value of the items of the closing stock are determined as
follows:
Items | Historical cost | Net realizable value |
P Q R S T |
5,70,000 9,80,000 3,16,000 4,25,000 1,60,000 |
4,75,000 10,32,000 2,89,000 4,25,000 2,15,000 |
What will be the value of closing stock for the year ending 31st March, 2012 as per AS 2
“Valuation of Inventories”? (4 Marks, May, 2011) (IPCC)
Answer
As per para 5 of AS 2 “Valuation of Inventories, inventories should be valued at the lower of
cost and net relizable value. Inventories should be written down to net realizable value on an
item-by-item basis.
Valuation of inventory (item wise) for the year ending 31st March 2012
Items | Historical cost | Net realizable value | Valuation of closing stock |
Rs | Rs | Rs | |
P Q R S T |
5,70,000 9,80,000 3,16,000 4,25,000 1,60,000 |
4,75,000 10,32,000 2,89,000 4,25,000 2,15,000 |
4,75,000 9,80,000 2,89,000 4,25,000 1,60,000 23,29,000 |
The value of inventory for the year ending 31st March 2012 = Rs 23,29,000.
Q6. A computer costing Rs 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 6 "Depreciation Accounting".
Answer
Depreciation per year = Rs 60,000 / 10 = Rs 6,000
Depreciation on SLM charged for three years = Rs 6,000 x 3 years = Rs 18,000
Book value of the computer at the end of third year = Rs 60,000 – Rs 18,000 = Rs 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 = Rs 42,000 / 5 = Rs 8,400 per annum
Q7. What are the three fundamental accounting assumptions recognised by Accounting Standard
(AS) 1? Briefly describe each one of them.
Answer
Accounting Standard (AS) 1 recognizes three fundamental accounting assumptions. These are
as follows:
(i) 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.
(ii) 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 (i) by a
statute, (ii) by an accounting standard or (iii) for more appropriate presentation of financial
statements.
(iii) Accrual basis of accounting: Under this basis of accounting, transactions are recognised as
soon as they occur, whether or not cash or cash equivalent is actually received or paid.
Q8. From the following information state the amount to be capitalized as per AS 10. Give the
explanations for your answer.
Rs 5 lakhs as routine repairs and Rs 1 lakh on partial replacement of a part of a machine.
Rs 10 lakhs on replacement of part of a machinery which will improve the efficiency of a
machine. (4 Marks, IPCC November, 2014)
Answer
As per para 12 of AS 10 “Accounting for Fixed Assets”, only those expenditures that increase
the future benefits from the existing assets, beyond its previously assessed standard of
performance, is to be included in the gross book value.
Hence, in the given case, amount of Rs 5 lakhs spent on routine repairs and Rs 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, Rs 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.

Q10. The Managing Director of A Ltd. is entitled to 5% of the annual net profits, as his
remuneration, subject to a minimum of Rs25,000 per month. The net profits, for this purpose,
are to be taken without charging income-tax and his remuneration itself. During the year, A Ltd.
made net profit of Rs 43,00,000 before charging MD’s remuneration, but after charging
provision for taxation of Rs 17,20,000. Compute remuneration payable to the Managing
Director.
Answer
Calculation of remuneration of the Managing Director | |
Net profit as per books Add: Provision for taxation Annual profit for the purpose of managerial remuneration Managing Director’s Remuneration @ 5% of above Minimum remuneration to be paid to the Managing Director = Rs 25,000 per month × 12 |
43.00 17.20 60.20 3.01 3.00 |
Hence, in this case, remuneration to be paid to the Managing Director of A Ltd.
= Rs 3,01,000.in the year.
Q11. A company provided Rs 10,00,000 for dividend payment. Is the Corporate Dividend Tax
payable in this case? If yes, please compute Corporate Dividend Tax assuming rate of 15%
plus surcharge of 10% and disclose as it would appear in profit and loss account of the
company.
Answer
Note: Though current surcharge rate on DDT is 12% the question is solved on the basis of the
information given in the question. However, education cess of 3% is applied though not given
in the question. Therefore, total DDT arrives of 16.995%.
Yes, Corporate Dividend Tax (CDT)∗ is payable by the company which has provided for the
payment of dividend. CDT is payable even if no income tax is payable. This is payable by a
domestic company on distribution of profits to its shareholders.
In the given case Corporate Dividend Tax would be worked out as under:
(i) Grossing up of dividend:
10,00,000 x 100/85 = 11,76,470
(ii) CDT = 11,76,470 x 16.995 = 1,99,941
The liability in respect of CDT arises only if the profits are distributed as dividends
whereas the normal income-tax liability arises on the earning of the taxable profits.
Since the CDT liability relates to distribution of profits as dividends which are adjusted as
appropriation /allocation of profit in the ‘Notes to Accounts’ of ‘Reserves and Surplus’, it
is appropriate that the liability in respect of DDT should also be adjusted therein.
CDT liability should be presented separately in the ‘Notes to Accounts’ of ‘Reserves and
Surplus’, as follows:
Dividend xxxxx
Dividend Corporate tax thereon xxxxx xxxxx
Q12. Calculate the maximum remuneration payable to the Managing Director based on effective
capital of a non-investment company for the year, from the information given below:

Remuneration paid to the Managing Director during |
3000
600 |
Answer
Note: Under the Companies Act, 2013, the Profits for the purposes of determining managerial
remuneration are computed in accordance with Section 198. Further, there is no provision for
computation of managerial remuneration on the basis of effective capital except in the case of
loss or inadequacy of profits in a financial year, hence this question is irrelevant in the new
context as there is no inadequacy of profits. Please refer to Sec 197, 198 and Schedule V of the
Companies Act 2013.
Q13. What are the maximum limits of managerial remuneration for companies having adequate
profits?
Answer
For companies having adequate profits, maximum limits of managerial remuneration in
different circumstances are as under:
(i) Overall (excluding fee for attending meetings) 11% of net profit
(ii) If there is one managing director or whole time director or manager 5% of net profit
(iii) If there is more than one managing director, whole time director or manager 10% of net
profit
(iv) Remuneration of directors who are neither managing directors nor whole time directors:
(a) If there is no managing or whole-time director 3% of net profit
(b) If there is a managing or whole-time director 1% of net profit
However, the above limits can be exceeded by the company approval at general
meetings with the Central Govt. approval.

Q15. What is meant by ‘Cash’ and ‘Cash equivalents’ as per AS 3?
Answer
As per AS 3 ‘Cash Flow Statements’, the term ‘Cash’ and ‘Cash equivalents’ mean the following:
Cash: It includes cash on hand and demand deposits with banks.
Cash Equivalents: It means short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible
into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value.
Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather
than for investment or other similar purposes. For an investment to qualify as a cash
equivalent, it must be readily convertible into a determinatble amount of cash and is subject to
an insignificant risk of changes in value. Therefore, an investment normally qualifies as a cash
equivalent only when it has a short maturity of, say, three months or less from the date of
acquisition and is virtually risk free. A short term investment in a highly risky asset will not
qualify as Cash Equivalent.

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 Re.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 .50 = Rs 2 and for the last eight months (i.e. from 1st August,
2008 to 31st March, 2009) will be (2 × .50 + 6 × 1) = Rs 7. Thus sales ratio is 2:7.
2. Time ratio
1st April, 2008 to 31st July, 2008 : 1st August, 2008 to 31st March, 2009
= 4 months : 8 months = 1:2
Thus, time ratio is 1:2.
3. Gross profit
Gross profit = Net profit + All expenses
= Rs 2,00,000 + Rs ( 1,08,000+15,000+50,000+12,000+78,000+72,000+5,000)
= Rs 2,00,000 +Rs 3,40,000 = Rs 5,40,000.

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 x 4 = 400 and
Total sales of next five months = 200 x 5 = 1,000
The ratio of sales = 400 : 1,000 =2 : 5
2. Rent
Till 31st December, 2011, rent was Rs 1,200 p.a. i.e. Rs 100 p.m.
So, Pre-incorporation rent = Rs 100 x 4 months = Rs 400
Post-incorporation rent = (Rs 100 x 2 months) + (Rs 250 x 3 months) = Rs 950

allowed 2 months credit and their balance as on 31.3.2008 is Rs 1,40,000. Assume that the sale
is uniform through out the year. Calculate the total sales of the company for the year ended
31.3.2008.
Answer
Debtors as on 31.3.2008 = Rs 1,40,000
Credit period allowed = 2 months

Q29. A trader purchased goods for Rs 1,70,000. The opening stock of inventory prior to the said
purchase was Rs 30,000. His sales was Rs 2,10,000. Find out the closing stock of inventory if
the Gross profit margin is 25% on cost.

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.(16 Marks, November 2012) (IPCC)
Answer
Rs ‘000
1. Amount of debentures
=
Interest on debentures
Rate of interes
× 100 =
600
10
× 100 = 6,000
2. Amount of proposed dividend
= Paid up share capital x 40%= 10,000 x 40% = 4,000
3. Transfer to general reserves
= Amount of proposed dividend i.e. 4,000
4. Profit carried forward
= 10% of proposed dividend = 10% of 4,000 = 400
5. 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
6. 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
7. Gross profit
= Net profit + all expenses – Commission received
= (7,000 + 7,000 + 600 + 7,400) – 1,000 = 21,000
8. Sales
=
Gross profit
Rate of profit
× 100 =
21,000
60
× 100 = 35,000
9. Closing stock
= 25% of sales
= 25% x 35,000 = 8,750
10. 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
11. Balance of General Reserve as on 1.4.2011
= Twice the amount transferred to general reserve during the year
= 2 x 4,000 = 8,000
12. Current Liabilities
=Current liabilities is twice of amount of debentures
= 2 x 6,000 = 12,000
13. Current Assets
Current Assets = current ratio x current liabilities
= 2 x 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 Equity and 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 Fixed Assets
= Total of Equity and Liabilities part of the balance sheet – (Current assets + Plant and
Machinery)
= 40,400 – (24,000 + 14,000) = 2,400

2,20,000 4,20,000 [W.N.1] 6,01,818 [W.N.2] |
1/11 of Rs 2,20,000 =Rs 20,000 1/11 of Rs 4,20,000= Rs 38,182 1/11of Rs 6,01,818= Rs 54,711 |
2,00,000 3,81,818 5,47,107 |
Total cash price = Rs 5,47,107+ 2,40,000 (down payment) =Rs 7,87,107
Working Notes:
1. Rs 2,00,000+ 2nd instalment of Rs 2,20,000= Rs 4,20,000.
2. Rs 3,81,818+ 1st instalment of Rs 2,20,000= Rs 6,01,818
