Question 1
Please explain briefly two benefits and two limitations of Accounting Standards for an
accountant. (May’19)

Answer
Accounting standards seek to describe the accounting principles, the valuation
techniques and the methods of applying the accounting principles in the preparation
and presentation of financial statements so that they may give a true and fair view. By
setting the accounting standards the accountant has the following benefits:
(i) Standardisation of alternative accounting treatments: Standards reduce to a reasonable
extent or eliminate altogether confusing variations in the accounting treatments
used to prepare financial statements.

(ii) Comparability of financial statements: The application of accounting standards would,

to a limited extent, facilitate comparison of financial statements of companies
situated in different parts of the world and also of different companies situated in
the same country. However, it should be noted in this respect that differences in the
institutions, traditional and legal systems from one country to another give rise to
differences in accounting standards adopted in different countries.

However, there are some limitations of setting of accounting standards:

(i) Difficulties in making choice between different treatments: Alternate solutions to certain
accounting problems may each have arguments to recommend them. Therefore, the
choice between different alternative accounting treatments may become difficult.

(ii) Lack of flexibilities and Restricted Scope: There may be a trend towards rigidity and
away from flexibility in applying the accounting standards. Accounting standards
cannot override the statute. The standards are required to be framed within the
ambit of prevailing statutes.

Question 2
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.

(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

AS 1 - DISCLOSURE OF ACCOUNTING
POLICIES

1. WHAT ARE ACCOUNTING POLICIES?

Accounting policies are rules or principles and methods to adopt such principles in
financial accounts for true and fair recording and presentation of financial statements.

2. EXAMPLES OF DIFFERENT ACCOUNTING POLICIES :

• Methods of Amortization (AS26)
• Valuation of Inventories (AS 2)
• Valuation of Investments (AS 13)
• Valuation of Fixed Assets (AS10)
• Treatment of Government Grants (AS 12)
• Treatment of Contingent liabilities (AS29)
• Conversion of Foreign currency items (AS 11), etc.

3. WHY AS 1?
There is no single list of accounting policies which are applicable in all circumstances.
The differing circumstances in which enterprises operate in a situation of diverse and
complex economic activity make alternative accounting principles and methods of
applying those principles acceptable.
If every entity follows separate method to comply with principle then even if they
follow the correct accounting policy but still books are not comparable, so there is
need for disclosure.

4. DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT :
• SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
All significant accounting policies adopted in preparation and presentation of
financial statements should be disclosed.
Significant accounting policies means those accounting policies which deals with
material items of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses.
Such disclosure should form part of financial statements.
These significant accounting policies should be disclosed at one place.

5
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

• INSIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

All accounting policies relating to immaterial items of assets, liabilities, incomes
and expenses need not be disclosed.

• FUNDAMENTAL ACCOUNTING ASSUMPTIONS:

Fundamental accounting assumptions form the basis for preparations and
presentation of financial statements.
They are usually not specifically stated because their acceptance and use are
assumed. Disclosure is necessary if they are not followed.

The following are generally accepted fundamental accounting assumptions:

• Going concern
The enterprise is normally viewed as going concern, that is, as continuing in operations
for foreseeable future.
It is assumed that enterprise neither has any need nor any will to shut down
business in near future. (As per SA 570 going concern issued by the ICAI suggests
that foreseeable future means 12 months from the date of financial statements)

• Consistency:
It is assumed that accounting policies are consistent from one period to another.
However, Consistency is not an excuse to adopt/ continue to adopt inappropriate
accounting policies.

• Accrual:
It is assumed that revenues and costs are: Recognized as they are earned/incurred
rather than as and when money is received /paid.
Recorded in financial statements of the period to which they relate.

5. FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED WHILE CHOOSING AN ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The primary consideration in selection of accounting policies by an enterprise is
that financial statements prepared and presented on the basis of such accounting
policies should represent a true and fair view of state of affairs of enterprise as at
balance sheet date and profit/loss for the period ended on that date.

6
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Secondary consideration governing selection and application of accounting policies are:

• Prudence:
Anticipated profits should not be recorded, anticipated losses are to be recorded.

• Substance over form:

The accounting treatment and presentation in financial statements of transaction
and events should be governed by their substance and not merely by legal form.
Substance refers to economic reality.

• Materiality:
Financial statements should disclose all material items i.e. items the knowledge of
which might influence the decisions of the user of financial statements. Determination
of materiality is a matter of professional judgement.

6. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Accounting policies can be changed if such change is required by
• Law
• AS
• Management, if they can justify better presentation and preparation of financial
statements. Any change that has material effect should be disclosed.
The amount by which any item in GPFS is affected by such change should be
disclosed. Where such amount is not ascertainable, wholly/ in part, the fact
should be indicated.

CLASSWORK SOLUTIONS

Answer 1
As per para 22 of AS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”, any change in an accounting
policy which has a material effect should be disclosed in the financial statements. The
amount by which any item in the financial statements is affected by such change should
also be disclosed to the extent ascertainable. Where such amount is not ascertainable,
wholly or in part, the fact should be indicated. Thus Prashant Ltd. should disclose the
change in valuation method of inventory and its effect on financial statements. The
company may disclose the change in accounting policy in the following manner:
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. The change in policy has reduced current profit and value of inventory
by ` 16,000.

Answer 2
As per AS 1, “Disclosure of accounting policies”, the main consideration in selection of
accounting policy is the presentation of a true and fair picture of the state of affairs
& performance of the enterprise. To ensure true and fair view, principles of prudence,
substance over form and materiality should be considered.
In this case, the economic reality and substance of the transaction is that the rights and
beneficial interest in the property has been transferred although legal title has not been
transferred.
Hence, X Ltd. In its financial statements for the year ended 31.3.2011, should record
the sale and recognize the profit of ` 35 lakhs (60 Lakhs - 25 Lakhs) in its Profit & Loss
Account statement and building should be derecognized from the balance sheet of X Ltd.
Therefore, the treatment given by the company is not correct.

Answer 3
The decision of making provision for non-moving stocks on the basis of technical
evaluation does not amount to change in accounting policy. Requirement to provide for
non-moving stocks may be said as accounting policy but the basis for making provision
will not constitute accounting policy. It will be considered as an accounting estimate.

10
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Further, 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 ` 3.5 lakhs to ` 2.5 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 ABC Ltd. for the year 2014-15: “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 higher by ` 1
lakh.”

Answer 4
(i) False; As per AS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”, certain fundamental accounting
assumptions underlie the preparation and presentation of financial statements. They
are usually not specifically stated because their acceptance and use are assumed.
Disclosure is necessary if they are not followed.
(ii) False; As per AS 1, if the fundamental accounting assumptions, viz. Going Concern,
Consistency and Accrual are followed in financial statements, specific disclosure
is not required. If a fundamental accounting assumption is not followed, the fact
should be disclosed.
(iii) True; To ensure proper understanding of financial statements, it is necessary that
all significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation and presentation of
financial statements should be disclosed. The disclosure of the significant accounting
policies as such should form part of the financial statements and they should be
disclosed at one place.
(iv) False; 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. Where such amount is not ascertainable, wholly or in
part, the fact should be indicated.
(v) True; As per AS 1, there is no single list of accounting policies which are applicable
to all circumstances. The differing circumstances in which enterprises operate in a
situation of diverse and complex economic activity make alternative accounting
principles and methods of applying those principles acceptable.

Question 1
What are the three fundamental accounting assumptions recognized 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.

Question 2
Mention few areas in which different accounting policies are followed by companies.
Answer
Following are the examples of the areas in which different accounting policies may be
adopted by different enterprises:
1. Valuation of Inventories.
2. Valuation of Investments.
3. Valuation of Goodwill.

Question 1
Please explain briefly two limitations of Accounting Standards for an accountant.
Answer
There are some limitations of setting of accounting standards:
(i) Difficulties in making choice between different treatments: Alternate solutions
to certain accounting problems may each have arguments to recommend them.
Therefore, the choice between different alternative accounting treatments may
become difficult.
(ii) Lack of flexibilities and Restricted Scope: There may be a trend towards rigidity and
away from flexibility in applying the accounting standards. Accounting standards
cannot override the statute. The standards are required to be framed within the
ambit of prevailing statutes.

Question 2
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.
Answer
The Framework for Recognition and Presentation of Financial statements recognises four
alternative measurement bases for the purpose of determining the value at which an
element can be recognized in the balance sheet or statement of profit and loss. These
bases are: (i) Historical Cost; (ii)Current cost (iii) Realisable (Settlement) Value and (iv)
Present Value.
A brief explanation of each measurement basis is as follows:
1. Historical Cost:
Historical cost means acquisition price. According to this, assets are recorded at an
amount of cash or cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the asset at the time of
acquisition. Liabilities are recorded at the amount of proceeds received in exchange
for the obligation.
2. Current Cost:
Current cost gives an alternative measurement basis. Assets are carried out at the
amount of cash or cash equivalent that would have to be paid if the same or an
equivalent asset was acquired currently. Liabilities are carried at the undiscounted
amount of cash or cash equivalents that would be required to settle the obligation
currently.

13
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

3. Realisable (Settlement) Value:

As per realisable value, assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash equivalents
that could currently be obtained by selling the assets in an orderly disposal. Liabilities
are carried at their settlement values; i.e. the undiscounted amount of cash or cash
equivalents paid to satisfy the liabilities in the normal course of business.
4. Present Value:
Under present value convention, assets are carried at present value of future net cash
flows generated by the concerned assets in the normal course of business. Liabilities
under this convention are carried at present value of future net cash flows that are
expected to be required to settle the liability in the normal course of business.

Question 3
Shankar started a business on 1st April, 2017 with ` 12,00,000 represented by 60,000
units of ` 20 each. During the financial year ending on 31st March, 2018, he sold the
entire stock for ` 30 each. In order to maintain the capital intact, calculate the maximum
amount, which can be withdrawn by Shankar in the year 2017-18 if Financial Capital is
maintained at Historical cost.
Answer

Particulars Financial Capital Maintenance at

Historical Cost (`)
Closing equity (`30 x 60,000 units) 18,00,000 represented by cash
Opening equity 60,000 units x `20 = 12,00,000
Permissible drawings to keep 6,00,000
Capital intact (18,00,000 – 12,00,000)

Therefore, ` 6,00,000 is the maximum amount which can be withdrawn by Shankar in the
year 2017-18 if the Financial Capital Maintenance is maintained at Historical Cost.

Question 4
What are the bases of measurement of Elements of Financial Statements? Explain in brief.
Answer
Measurement is the process of determining money value at which an element can be
recognized in the balance sheet or statement of profit and loss. The framework recognizes
four alternative measurement bases for the purpose. These bases can be explained as:

14
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Historical Acquisition price. According to this, assets are recorded at an

cost amount of cash and cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the
assets at time of acquisition.
Assets are carried out at the amount of cash or cash equivalent
that would have to be paid if the same or an equivalent asset
Current was acquired currently. Liabilities are carried at the undiscounted
Cost amount of cash or cash equivalents that would be required to
settle the obligation currently.
Realisable For assets, amount currently realizable on sale of the asset in an
(Settlement) Value orderly disposal. For liabilities, this is the undiscounted amount
expected to be paid on settlement of liability in the normal
course of business.
Assets are carried at present value of future net cash flows
Present generated by the concerned assets in the normal course of
Value business. Liabilities are carried at present value of future net
cash flows that are expected to be required to settle the liability
in the normal course of business.

In preparation of financial statements, all or any of the measurement basis can be used
in varying combinations to assign money values to financial items

Question 5
"One of the characteristic of the financial statement is neutrality. "Do you agree with this
statement? Explain in brief.
Answer
Yes, one of the characteristics of financial statements is neutrality. To be reliable, the
information contained in financial statement 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. Information contained in
the financial statements must be free from bias. It should reflect a balanced view of the
financial position of the company without attempting to present them in biased manner.
Financial statements cannot be prepared with the purpose to influence certain division,
i.e. they must be neutral.

(Nov’ 20)
Question 8
What do you mean by 'Accrual' in reference to AS-1? Also, specify any three reasons for
'Accrual Basis of Accounting'. (May’ 19)
Answer
The term “Accrual” has been explained in the AS 1 on Disclosure of Accounting Policies,
as “Revenues and costs are accrued, that is, recognised as they are earned or incurred
(and not as money is received or paid) and recorded in the financial statements of the
periods to which they relate”
Reasons for Accrual Basis of Accounting
1. Accrual basis of accounting, attempts to record the financial effects of the
transactions, events, and circumstances of an enterprises in the period in which they
occur rather than recording them in the period(s) in which cash is received or paid by
the enterprise.
2. Receipts and payments of the period will not coincide with the buying producing or
selling events and other economic events that affect entity performance.
3. The goal of Accrual basis of accounting is to follow the matching concept of income
and expenditure so that reported net income measures an enterprise’s performance
during a period instead of merely listing its cash receipts and payments.
4. Accrual basis of accounting recognizes assets, liabilities or components of revenues
and expenses for amounts received or paid in cash in past, and amounts expected
to be received or paid in cash in the future.
5. Important point of difference between accrual and accounting based on cash receipts
and outlay is in timing of recognition of revenues, expenses, gains and losses.

AS 2 - VALUATION OF INVENTORY

1. WHY VALUATION OF INVENTORY IS REQUIRED ?

To know correct Financial Performance (net profit or loss)
And
To know True & fair Financial Position
Since, Appropriate / In-appropriate valuation of inventory affects both the profit /
loss from operations & financial position as reflected in the Balance Sheet.

2. MEANING / DEFINITION OF INVENTORY As Per AS-2 :

According to AS 2, Inventories are assets
a. held for sale in the ordinary course of business or
b. in the process of production for such sale or
c. in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process
or in the rendering of services

3. INVENTORIES INCLUDES :
Thus, Inventory consists of :
a. Goods purchased & held for re-sale
b. Finished goods produced for sale
c. Work in progress
d. Stores, spares, loose tools etc. awaiting use in production process (of goods
meant for sale)

4. AS 2 DOES NOT COVER :
a. Financial instruments such as shares, debentures etc. held as stock
b. Work in progress under construction contracts
c. Work in progress arising in the ordinary course of business of service providers
d. Live stock, agricultural & forest products, mineral oils (for whose valuation
certain established practices may exist)

5. VALUATION :
Inventories are valued at COST or NRV, whichever is less.

18
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

6. COST INCLUDES :
• Cost = Purchase cost + conversion cost + other costs incurred to bring the
inventory to its present location & condition
• Purchase cost = purchase price + duties & taxes + freight inward + other directly
attributable expenses (like in-transit insurance) – (duties & taxes recoverable +
trade discount & rebates etc.).
• Conversion cost = Direct labour + variable production overheads (calculated
on actual production) + fixed production overheads (calculated on normal
capacity)
• In case of joint products, the conversion cost is allocated on rational & consistent
basis (e.g. : sales).
• In case of by products, the NRV of by product is deducted from the conversion
cost
• Inventory Cost does not include : Administration cost, Selling & distribution
cost, abnormal wastage, storage costs etc.
• Normal capacity means the production expected to be achieved on an average
over a number of periods under normal conditions. Fixed production overheads
per unit will be revised if actual production exceeds normal capacity so that
inventories are not measured above their cost.
• Interest & other borrowing costs are usually not included in inventory valuation.
However, they can be included if time plays a major factor in bringing about a
change in the condition of inventories.
• Excise duty / GST paid / payable is an element of cost & should be included in
the inventory valuation. However, any amount recoverable from tax authorities
by way of CENVAT credit / ITC will have to be excluded from the valuation of
finished goods.

7. METHODS OF INVENTORY VALUATION :

a. Inventory not ordinarily interchangeable: specific identification
method
b. Inventory ordinarily interchangeable: FIFO or weighted avg. method Specific
identification method tracks the actual physical flow of goods. It is also called
the actual cost method because specific job bears the actual cost of materials
bought for the job. This method is suited for antique shops, expensive jewellery,
custom-made merchandise etc.
• Other methods allowed are standard cost method or retail price method if

19
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

it were to result in estimation of value of inventory that approximates the

actual cost. Standard cost is a pre-determined cost based on attainable
efficiency standard for a given volume of output. Retail price method is
generally adopted by retail stores having numerous low unit cost items.
Cost is measured by deducting gross margin from retail prices of year end
inventory.

8. NRV :
NRV = estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business – estimated cost of
completion – estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Considerations governing
estimation of NRV are :
a. Most reliable evidence available at the time estimates are made as to amounts
that inventories are expected to realize &
b. Fluctuations of prices or costs directly relating to events occurring after the
Balance Sheet date, to the extent that such events confirm the conditions
existing at the Balance Sheet date.

9. VALUATION OF MATERIAL :
Materials & other supplies held for use in production are not written down below the
cost if finished goods in which they will be used are expected to be sold at or above
cost. When finished goods are not expected to fetch the cost & there is a decline in
process of material & other supplies then the materials & other supplies are written
down to their NRV. In such a case, the replacement cost is the NRV.

10. DISCLOSURES REQUIRED :

a. Accounting policy applied in measuring inventories including cost formula
b. Carrying amount of inventory classified appropriately e.g. : finished goods,
work in progress, raw material, spare parts, loose tools etc.
c. Any changes in accounting policy with respect to valuation of inventory & its
effect on the financial statements.

CLASSWORK SOLUTIONS

Answer 6
According to AS - 2 “valuation of inventories” Cost of inventories generally doesn’t include
interest & other borrowing cost. Interest and other borrowing costs are usually considered
as not relating to bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Interests and other borrowing costs however are taken as part of inventory costs where
the inventory necessarily takes substantial period of time for getting ready for intended
sale. Example of such inventory is wine.

Here, X Ltd. has decided to exclude delay in clearing charges from closing stock for the
year 2014-15 this would result in decrease in profit by ` 5 lakhs.
So the contention of X Ltd. for not to include such delay in clearing charges is correct.

HOMEWORK SECTION

Question 1
The Company deals in three products, A, B and C, which are neither similar nor
interchangeable. At the time of closing of its account for the year 2014-15, the Historical
Cost and Net Realizable Value of the items of closing stock are determined as follows:
Items Historical Cost (` in lakhs) Net Realizable Value (` in lakhs)
A 40 28
B 32 32
C 16 24

Answer
As per para 5 of AS 2 on „Valuation of Inventories", inventories should be valued at the
lower of cost and net realizable value. Inventories should be written down to net realizable
value on an item-by-item basis in the given case.
Items Historical Cost (` in Net Realisable Value Valuation of

Hence, closing stock will be valued at ` 76 lakhs.

Question 2
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.

Answer
As per para 13 of 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 recognized 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.

(i) 600 units of raw material A (purchased @ ` 120). Replacement cost of raw material
A as on 31-3-2015 is ` 90 per unit.
(i) 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.
(ii) 1500 units of finished Product X and total cost incurred ` 320 per unit. Expected
selling price of Product X is ` 300 perunit.
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.

Answer
As per 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 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 X is ` 300 and total cost per unit for production is ` 320.
Hence the valuation will be done as under:
(i) 600 units of raw material will be written down to replacement cost as market value
of finished product is less than its cost, hence valued at ` 90 per unit.
(ii) 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

26
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

selling price ` 300 per unit less additional cost of ` 60).

(iii) 1,500 units of finished product X will be valued at NRV of ` 300 per unit since it is
lower than cost ` 320 of product X.

Valuation of Total Inventory as on 31.03.2015:

NRV/Replacement Value = units x cost or NRV
cost whichever is less (`)
Raw material A 90 54,000
Partly finished goods 240 1,20,000

PAST PAPER SECTION

Question 1
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 out the value of inventory each case. (May’10)
Answer
As per 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. 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
realisable value. In such circumstances, the replacement cost of the materials may be the
best available measure of their net realisable value.
(i) When selling price is ` 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 selling price is `225
Incremental Profit = ` 225 – ` 125 = ` 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 2
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. (May’ 12)

Answer
As per AS-2 ‘Valuation of Inventories’, certain costs are excluded from the cost of the

28
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

inventories and are recognised as expenses in the period in which incurred. Examples
of such costs are:
(a) abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labour, or other production costs;
(b) storage costs, unless those costs are necessary in the production process prior to a
further production stage; administrative overheads that do not contribute to bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition; and
(c) selling and distribution costs.

Question 3
Z Limited ordered 13,000 kg. of chemicals at ` 90 per kg. The purchase price includes GST
of ` 7.5 per kg, in respect of which full 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.

B. Number of units to be normally received = 96% of 13,000 Kg. Kg. 12,480
C. Normal cost per Kg. (A/B)
Allocation of material cost Kg. `/Kg. ` 90.705
Materials consumed 10,000@ 90.705 (approx.) 9,07,050
Cost of inventory (12,400- 10,000) 2,400 2,17,692
Abnormal loss 80 7,258*
Total material cost (for 12,480 kgs) 1,32,000

*The difference due to rounding off of normal cost per Kg has been adjusted. Thus the
inventory will be valued at ` 2,17,692.

29
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Note:
1. The Company has received trade discount in the form of cash. This 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.
4. State VAT has not been included in the cost of materials in the above answer as VAT
is generally credited in the later course of time.

Chemical Y according to AS 2, when
(a) Net realizable value of Chemical Y is ` 800 per unit
(b) Net realizable value of Chemical Y is ` 600 per unit (Nov’17)
Answer
(a) When Net Realizable Value of the Chemical Y is ` 800 per unit
NRV is greater than the cost of Finished Goods Y i.e. ` 660 (Refer W.N.) Hence, Raw
Material and Finished Goods are to be valued at cost.
Value of Closing Stock:
(b) When Net Realizable Value of the Chemical Y is ` 600 per unit
NRV is less than the cost of Finished Goods Y i.e. ` 660. Hence, Raw Material is to be
valued at replacement cost and Finished Goods are to be valued at NRV since NRV is
less than the cost.

At the end of the year, 950 MT of wastage 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 loss.
(2) Explain the treatment of normal loss and abnormal loss. [In the context of AS-2

Answer
(i) As per 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 normal loss will be included in determining the cost of inventories (finished
goods) at the year end.
Amount of Abnormal Loss:
(ii) Material used 16,000 MT @ ` 190 = ` 30,40,000
Normal Loss (5% of 16,000 MT) 800 MT (included in calculation of cost of inventories)

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’19)
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

33
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

be the best available measure of their net realizable 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:
(i) 800 units of raw material will be valued at cost 140.
(ii) 650 units of partly finished goods will be valued at 300 per unit* i.e. lower of
cost (` 310) or Net realizable value ` 300 (Estimated selling price ` 350 per unit less
additional cost of ` 50).
(iii) 1,800 units of finished product X will be valued at NRV of ` 350 per unit since it is
lower than cost ` 360 of product X.

Valuation of Total Inventory as on 31.03.2019:

Units Cost NRV / Value = units x cost `
(`) Replacement or NRV whichever is
Cost ` less (`)
Raw material A 800 140 190 1,12,000 (800 x

*It has been assumed that the partly finished unit cannot be sold in semi-finished form
and its NRV is zero without processing it further.

 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Determine how each item of inventory will be valued as on 31.03.2019. Also calculate
the value of total Inventory as on 31.03.2019.
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 ` 266 and total cost per unit for production is ` 295.
Hence the valuation will be done as under:
(i) 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 ` 80 per unit.
(ii) 400 units of partly finished goods will be valued at 216 per unit i.e., lower of cost
(` 245) or Net realizable value ` 216 (Estimated selling price ` 266 per unit less
additional cost of ` 50).
(iii) 800 units of finished product P will be valued at NRV of ` 266 per unit since it is
lower than cost ` 295.

AS – 10 PROPERTY, PLANT &

EQUIPMENT

1. MEANING :
The Property, Plant and Equipment know as Fixed asset (Tangible Assets)
These tangible assets are asset held with the intention of being used for the purpose
of producing or providing goods or services is not held for sale in normal course of
business.
Eg: Land, Building, Plant and Machinery, Furniture and fixtures, office equipments
etc.

2. AS 10 DOES NOT APPLY :

- Biological assets
• Living animals
• Living Plants (Does not include bearer plants)
- Wasting assets
- Asset Covered by another AS
Note: AS is applicable on bearer plants.

3. AT WHAT VALUE SHOULD ANY ASSET BE SHOWN IN BALANCE SHEET ?

- Historic Cost
- Revalued Price
• Historic Cost
Cost Under different circumstances
- Purchased
Cost of an item of fixed asset comprises of its purchase prices, including non
refundable taxes, any directly attributable cost and PV of decommissioning.
- Self generated fixed asset
Include all directly attributable cost (exclude any internal profits)
- Exchange

- Cost of jointly held assets

Prorata cost of such jointly owned asset is grouped together with similar
fully owned assets.
- Cost of assets acquired under consolidated basis
Cost of each fixed asset @ FMV By component valuation officer.
• Revalued Price
- 1st time upward revaluation –RR
- Ist time downward revaluation- P/L
- Present increase is credited to RR if previous revaluation also led to
increase
- Present increase is relatable to previous decrease the credit revenue to
the extent of previous decrease and remaining increase in RR
- Present decrease is charged to P/L if previous revaluation also led to
decrease
- If present decrease is relatable to previous increase then change RR to
intent of previous increase & remaining in P/L
NOTE: Revaluation should be performed for an ENTIRE CLASS of PPE

4. COMPONENT ACCOUNTING :
- An asset may consist of several different and significant physical components.
- If an item of PPE may consist two or More Significant components with
substantially different useful life or usage then each component must be
recorded and depreciated SEPARATELY
Note:- When a significant component is replaced, the old component is de-recognized.

5. SUBSEQUENT EXPENDITURE :
- It is the expenditure, which is incurred after the initial recognition i.e. after
the asset is ready to use or being used. Here, we discuss whether subsequent
expenditure will go to P&L or will be capitalized along with PPE. It depends on
the nature and benefits from the expenditure incurred.

Does the subsequent expenditure increases future economic benefits i.e satisfies the
recognition criteria?
YES NO
Capitalise along with PPE Charge to P&L statement
- If subsequent expenditure increases the future economic benefits i.e. satisfies

38
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

recognition criteria then such expense is recognized as a separate component

and depreciated over its useful life.
- Costs of day to day servicing are primarily the costs of labour and consumables,
and may include the cost of small parts. The purpose of such expenditures is
often described as for the “repairs and maintenance” of item of PPE and these
expenses should be charged to Profit and loss Account.
- If a part of PPE is replaced then it should be capitalized as Component of PPE
if it meets recognition criteria given by AS, otherwise, it will be charged to P&L
statement.
- A condition of continuing to operate an item of PPE may be performed in
regular intervals as major inspection for faults regardless of whether parts of
PPE are replaced. When each such major inspections are performed, its cost
is capitalized as part of PPE as a replacement if the recognition criteria is
satisfied.

6. DEPRECIATION :
- Depreciable amount= Cost-SV
- It is systematic allocation of depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life
- Determinants-Cost-SV-Life-Future Economic benefits
- Methods- SLM, WDV, on basis of future economic benefits
- Changes in methods/ determinant – Change in Accounting estimate, effect
prospective as per AS 5

7. RETIREMENT :
Value @ Net Book Value
Or
Net realizable value, whichever is lower

8. DISPOSAL :
- If Entity followed cost model then profit or loss on sale will go to profit or loss
account.
- If entity followed revaluation model then profit or loss on sale will go to P/L
a/c (after disposal Revaluation reserve will be transferred to general reserve)

9. DISCLOSURE :
- Depreciation method

Question 3
Aman 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. The technician’s
services were given to department A by department B, which billed the services at
` 16,500 per month after adding 10% profit margin. The machine was purchased at
` 52,78,000. Sales Tax was charged at 4% on the invoice, ` 18,590 transportation charges
were incurred to bring the machine to the factory. An architect was engaged at a fee of

month. The company operates on Bank Overdraft @11%. Ascertain the amount at which
the assets should be capitalized under AS 10.

Question 4
M/s. Tiger Ltd. allotted 7,500 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 machinery acquired, show how the value of the
machinery would be recorded in the books of Tiger Ltd.?
As per 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, in the given situation, the market value of shares exchanged for the asset is more
clearly evident, the company should record the value of machinery at ` 7,12,500 (i.e.
7,500 shares × ` 95 per share) being the market price of the shares issued in exchange.

Question 5
B Ltd.owns an asset with an original cost of ‘ 2,00,000 ’. On acquisition, management
determined that the useful life was 10 years and the residual value would be ‘20,000’.
The asset is now 8 years old, and during this time there have been no revisions to the
assessed residual value.
At the end of year 8, management has reviewed the useful life and residual value and has
determined that the useful life can be extended to 12 years in view of the maintenance
program adopted by company. As a result, the residual value will reduce to ` 10,000.
How would the above changes in estimates be made by B Ltd.?

Question 2
During the year MIs Progressive Company Limited made additions to its factory by using
its own workforce, at a cost of ` 4,50,000 as wages and materials. The lowest estimate
from an outside contractor to carry out the same work was ` 6,00,000. The directors
contend that, since they are fully entitled to employ an outside contractor, it is reasonable
to debit the Factory Building Account with ` 6,00,000. Comment Comment whether the
directors' c c contention is right in view of AS 10?
AS 10, „ Accounting for Fixed Assets", clearly states that the gross book value of the self
constructed fixed asset includes the cost 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. Thus,
only ` 4,50,000 should be debited to the factory building account and not ` 6,00,000.
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 fully entitled to employ an outside
contractor is not justifiable.

Question 1
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.

Question 5
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’14)
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 ` 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 7
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 depreciation 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’15)
Answer
As per AS 10, when there is a revision of the estimated useful life of an asset, the
unamortized depreciable amount 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.

50
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

As per para 18 of AS 10, 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.
Calculation of Depreciation
Depreciation per year charged for first three years = ` (1,50,000 - 15,000) / 6 = ` 22,500

WDV of the machine at the beginning of the fourth year = ` 1,50,000 – (` 22,500× 3) =
`82,500

Depreciable amount after reassessment of residual vale = ` 82,500 – (1,50,000 x 5%) =

`75,000

Remaining useful life as per revised estimate = 4 years Depreciation from the fourth year
onwards = ` 75,000 / 4 = ` 18,750

Question 8
Briefly explain the treatment of following items as per relevant accounting standards:
- The accountant of Star Limited valued the Goodwill of the company at ` 50 lakhs
and showed the same as Fixed Asset in Balance Sheet. The corresponding credit was
given to Reserves.
- An expense of ` 5 crores were incurred on a Machine towards its Repairs and
Maintenance. The accountant wants to capitalize the same considering the
significance of amount spent.
- A plant was ready for commercial production on 01.04.2014 but could commence
actual production only on 01.06.2014. The company incurred ` 50 lakhs as
administrative expenditure during the period of which 20% was allocable to the plant.
The accountant added ` 10 lakhs to cost of plant. (Nov’15)
Answer
As per AS 10 “Accounting for Fixed Assets”, goodwill, in general, is recorded in the books
only when some consideration in money or money’s worth has been paid for it. In the
given situation, the company has valued its goodwill which will be considered as earned
over the years i.e. it is self-generated goodwill. Therefore, the same shall not be recorded
in the books, as consideration in money or money’s worth has not been paid for it. Thus
raising goodwill by giving corresponding credit to Reserve is incorrect.

 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

• Only expenditure that increases the future benefits from the existing asset beyond
its previously assessed standard of performance is included in the gross book value,
e.g., an increase in capacity. The cost of an addition or extension to an existing
asset which is of a capital nature and which becomes an integral part of the
existing asset is usually added to its gross book value. Any other expenses incurred,
though substantial, on machine towards its repairs and maintenance should not
be capitalized but charged to profit and loss account since it does not increase
capacity.
• If the interval between the date a project is ready to commence commercial production
and the date at which commercial production actually begins is prolonged, all
expenses incurred during this period are charged to the profit and loss statement.
However, the expenditure incurred during this period is also sometimes treated as
deferred revenue expenditure, to be amortized over a period not exceeding 3 to 5
years, after the commencement of commercial production. Thus the amount of ` 10
lakh should either be charged to profit and loss statement in the year ended 31st
March, 2015 or may be amortized for a future period not exceeding 3 to 5 years
after the commencement of commercial production i.e. 1.6.2014.

Question 9
Argon Ltd. purchased a shop on 1st January, 2001 as a cost of ` 8,50,000. The useful
life of the shop is estimated as 30 years with residual value of ` 25,000 and depreciation
is provided on a straight line basis. The shop was revalued on 30th June, 2015 for
` 19,50,000 and the Revaluation was incorporated in the accounts.
Calculate:
i. The surplus on revaluation;
ii. Depreciation to be charged in the Profit and Loss account for the year ended on 31st
December, 2015. (May’16)
Answer
As per AS 10, where 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.
Surplus on revaluation

Question 10
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 4th 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’16)

Amount to be charged to P & L Account at beginning of 8th year
(4,48,000 - 2,52,000) 1,96,000

Note: Information regarding revaluation and re-estimation of the useful life has been
given in the question. It has been given that at the beginning of the 4th year, useful life
was re-estimated as 7 years. In the above solution, this useful life has been considered
as remaining useful life. Alternatively, it may also be assumed as the total useful life.
In that case the remaining useful life will be considered as 4 years because 3 years have
already passed.

Question 11
Explain ‘Bearer Plant’ & ‘Biological Asset’ as per AS – 10. (May’18)
Answer
As per AS 10 Property, Plant and Equipment
Bearer plant is a plant that
(a) is used in the production or supply of agricultural produce; and
(b) is expected to bear produce for more than a period of twelve months; and
(c) has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce, except for incidental
scrap sales.
(d) The following are not bearer plants:
(i) plants cultivated to be harvested as agricultural produce (for example, trees
grown for use as lumber);
(ii) plants cultivated to produce agricultural produce when there is more than
a remote likelihood that the entity will also harvest and sell the plant as
agricultural produce, other than as incidental scrap sales (for example, trees
that are cultivated both for their fruit and their lumber); and
(iii) annual crops (for example, maize and wheat). When bearer plants are no
longer used to bear produce they might be cut down and sold as scrap, for
example, for use as firewood. Such incidental scrap sales would not prevent
the plant from satisfying the definition of a bearer plant. Biological Asset is a
living animal or plant

Question 12
Neon Enterprise operates a major chain of restaurants located in different cities. The
company has acquired a new restaurant located at Chandigarh. The new restaurant
requires significant renovation expenditure. Management expects that the renovations
will last for 3 months during which the restaurant will be closed.
Management has prepared the following budget for this period -
Salaries of the staff engaged in preparation of restaurant
before its opening ` 7,50,000
Construction and remodelling cost of restaurant ` 30,00,000
Explain the treatment of these expenditures as per the provisions of AS 10 "Property,
Plant and Equipment". (Nov’18)
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 in the costs of
an item of PPE.

Management of Neon Enterprise should capitalize the costs of construction and

remodelling the restaurant, because they are necessary to bring the restaurant 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 construction and
remodelling expenditure amounting ` 30,00,000 and thus the expenditure should be
considered part of the asset.
However, the cost of salaries of staff engaged in preparation of restaurant ` 7,50,000
before its opening are in the nature of operating expenditure that would be incurred if
the restaurant was open and these costs are not necessary to bring the restaurant to
the conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management. Hence, ` 7,50,000 should be expensed.

Question 13

(ii) Land for` 50 lakhs.

(iii) A Machinery is -constructed for ` 5,00,000 for its own use (useful life is 10 years).

(iv) Machinery purchased on 1st April, 2017 for ` 50,000 with useful life of 5 years and
residual value is NIL. On 1st April, 2019, management decided to use this asset for
further 2 years only. (Nov’20)

58
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Answer
Computation of amount of depreciation as per AS 10

`
(i) Machinery purchased on 1/4/15 for ` 10 lakhs (having residual Nil
value of ` 10 lakhs)
Reason: The company considers that the residual value,
based on prices prevailing at the balance sheet date, will
equal the cost. Therefore, there is no depreciable amount and
depreciation is correctly zero.
(ii) Land (50 lakhs) (considered freehold) Nil
Reason: Land has an unlimited useful life and therefore, it is
not depreciated.
(iii) Machinery constructed for own use (` 5,00,000/10) 50,000
Reason: The entity should begin charging depreciation from
the date the machine is ready for use i.e. 1st April,2019. The
fact that the machine was not used for a period after it was
ready to be used is not relevant in considering when to begin
charging depreciation.
(iv) Machinery having revised useful life 15,000
Reason: The entity has charged depreciation using the
straight-line method at ` 10,000 per annum i.e (50,000/5
years). On 1st April,2019 the asset's net book value is [50,000
– (10,000 x 2)] i.e. ` 30,000. The remaining useful life is 2
years as per revised estimate. The company should amend the
annual provision for depreciation to charge the unamortized
cost over the revised remaining life of 2 years. Consequently,
it should charge depreciation for the next 2 years at
` 15,000 per annum i.e. (30,000 / 2 years).

AS – 11 ACCOUNTING FOR EFFECTS FOR

CHANGES IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES

1. SCOPE :
AS 11 applies to the following:
a. Accounting for transactions in foreign currency.
b. Translating the financial statements of foreign operations for inclusion in
Company’s financial statements.
c. Accounting for foreign currency transactions in the nature of forward exchange
contracts.

2. DEFINITIONS :
a. Reporting Currency: Currency used in presenting financial statements.
b. Foreign Currency: Currency other than reporting currency of an enterprise.
c. Exchange Rate: It is the ratio for exchange of 2 currencies.
d. Average Rate : It is the mean of the exchange rates in force during a period
e. Forward Rate: It is the agreed exchange rate for exchange of 2 currencies at a
specified future date.
f. Forward Exchange Contract: It is an agreement to exchange different currencies
at a forward rate.
g. Closing Rate: It is the Exchange Rate at the Balance Sheet date.
h. Monetary items: They are money held & assets & liabilities to be received or
paid in fixed or determinable amounts of money. E.g. : Cash, Bank balance,
Receivables, Payables etc.
i. Non-monetary items: They are assets & liabilities other than monetary items.
E.g.: FAs, Inventories, Investment in equity shares etc.
j. Settlement date: Date on which a receivable is due to be collected / a payable is
due to be paid.
k. Foreign Operation : A Subsidiary, Associate, JV or Branch of the reporting
enterprise, the activities of which are based or conducted in a country other
than the country of the reporting enterprise. Under AS 11, a foreign operation
is classified as either ‘Integral Foreign Operation’ or ‘Non-Integral Foreign
Operation’, based on the way of financing & operation in relation to the reporting
enterprise.

60
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

l. Integral Foreign Operation (IFO) : Its activities are an integral part of those of
the reporting enterprise, its business is carried on as if it was an extension
of the reporting enterprise’s operations, IFOs generally carry on business in
a single foreign currency of the country where it is located, cash flows from
operations of the reporting enterprise are directly & immediately affected by a
change in the exchange rate between the reporting currency & currency of the
IFOs country, change in exchange rate affect individual monetary items held by
the IFO rather than the reporting enterprise’s investment in IFO etc.
m.
Non-Integral Foreign Operation (NFO) : It is a foreign operation that is not an
IFO. The business of NFO is carried on in a substantially independent manner
in its local currency, NFOs may also enter into business transactions in foreign
currencies, including transactions in reporting currency, change in the exchange
rate between the reporting currency & local currency has little or no direct effect
on the present or future cash flows from operations of the NFO or the reporting
enterprise, change in the exchange rate affects the reporting enterprise’s net
investment in the NFO rather than the individual monetary / non-monetary
items held by that NFO.

3. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS :

(a)
Initial Recognition
Transactions involving foreign currencies can be brought under four groups,
namely (a) buying or selling of goods and services, (b) borrowing or lending
money, (c) acquiring or disposing of assets or incurring and settling liabilities,
or (d) by being a party to a forward exchange contract. For initial recognition,
the Accounting Standards prescribe that a foreign currency transaction should
be recorded by applying the exchange rate (defined as ratio for exchange for two
currencies) between the reporting currency and the foreign currency at the date
of the transaction.

(b)
Reporting at subsequent Balance Sheet date
For purposes of reporting as at the balance sheet date, items are classified into
monetary and non-monetary items, which are carried at either historical cost,
or at fair values.
Monetary items are money held and assets and liabilities to be received or
paid in fixed or determinable amounts of money. Examples are cash balances,
account receivables and payables. Non-monetary items are assets and liabilities

61
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

other than monetary items. Examples include fixed assets, inventories, and
investments in equity shares.
Accounting standards lays down the following principles for translation of
foreign currency items.
1. Apply closing rate for monetary items
Monetary items in the balance sheet should be reported using the closing
rate.
2. Apply Transaction-date rate or the rate that existed on fair-value estimation
date for non-monetary items.

(c) Recognizing exchange difference

Exchange difference has been defined in Accounting standards as the difference
resulting from reporting the same number of units of a foreign currency in the
reporting currency at different exchange rates.
Exchange differences can arise, inter alia, on three counts
• A transaction – either a monetary item, or a non-monetary item – being
settled at a rate of different from the rate at which it was initially recorded
(initial recognition)
• A transaction being reported at a rate different from the rate at which it
was either initially recorded (balance sheet reporting)
• A transaction being settled at a rate different from the one taken for
reporting in the last financial statement (settlement).

4. TRANSLATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS

• Foreign operation is a subsidiary, associate, joint venture or branch of the reporting
enterprise, the activities of which are based on or conducted in a foreign country.
• It is not necessary that the subsidiary, associate joint venture or branch should
be based in foreign country. Its activities must be based or conducted in a
foreign country.
• Foreign operation is classified into -
(a) Integral foreign operation and
(b) Non-integral foreign operation.

Financial statement of IFO

Accounting standards requires the financial statement to be translated in the same
manner as applicable for the enterprises own foreign currency transaction, i.e.

62
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

(a) All transactions of foreign operation be translated at the rate prevailing

on the date of transaction (spot rate).
(b) Translation at balance sheet date
(i) Monetary items at closing rate;
(ii) Non-monetary items which are carried at historical cost at the rate
at the date of transaction and
(iii) Non-monetary items which are carried at fair value like net realizable
value at the rate of such date of ascertaining fair valuation.
Note: Accounting standards does not state about conversion of revenue items
of such organization because it will automatically get converted at spot
rate as per (a) above.

Recognition of Foreign Exchange difference-

Exchange difference arising on reinstatement/settlement of monetary items be
recognized in P & L.

Financial Statements of Non-integral Foreign Operation

For incorporating in its financial statement the financial statements of a non-
integral foreign operation should be translated in the following manner.
(a) All assets and liabilities monetary as well as non-monetary, translated
at closing rate.
(b) Income and expenses items be translated at the rate of the date of
transaction. (Average rate of the period if it approximates the actual rate
can be used)
Recognition of exchange difference -
• All exchange difference be accumulated and carried in foreign currency
translation reserve.
• When the net investment in such non-integral operation in full or in part
is disposed of then this reserve will be proportionately recognized to P&L.
• Such reserve can have debit balance as well.

5. FORWARD EXCHANGE CONTRACT :

 When forward contract is for hedging
(a) The premium or discount (difference between the value at spot rate and
forward rate) should be amortized over the life of contract.
(b) Exchange difference (difference between the value of settlement date /

63
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

reporting date and value at previous reporting date / inception of the

contract) be recognized in P & L of the year.
(c) Profit / loss on cancellation / renewal of forward contract be recognized
in P & L of the year.

 When forward contract is for Trading / Speculation

(a) No premium or discount is recognized.
(b) A gain or loss i.e. the difference between the forward rate as per contract/
previous year end valuation rate and the forward rate available at the year
end (reporting date) for remaining maturity period should be recognized
in the P&L of the period.

6. DISCLOSURES :
An enterprise should disclose :
a. The amount of exchange differences included in the net profit / loss for the
period &
b. Net exchange difference accumulated in FCTR as a separate component
of shareholders’ funds & a reconciliation of the amount of such exchange
differences at the beginning & end of the period.

Loss for the period from 1st Dec.2013 to 31st March, 2014= (` 42,000/6) x 4 = ` 28,000.
Thus the loss amounting to ` 28,000 for the period is to be recognised in the year ended
31st March, 2014.

Question 2
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, transaction 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.
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 recognized as income or
as expenses in the period in which they arise.

 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

However, at the option of an entity, exchange differences 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 the acquisition of a non-depreciable capital asset can be accumulated
in a “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” in the enterprise’s
financial statements and amortized over the balance period of such long-term asset/
liability, by recognition as income or expense in each of such periods.

Thus Exchange Difference on Long term loan amounting ` 6,04,317 may either be charged
to Profit and Loss A/c or to Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account
but exchange difference on debtors amounting ` 23,077 is required to be transferred to
Profit and Loss A/c.

 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Ascertain the loss/gain for financial years 2010-11 and 2011-12, also give their
treatment as per AS 11.
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 1.1.2011 and corresponding creditor would be recorded at
` 4,50,000 (i.e. $10,000 × ` 45) According to the standard, at the balance sheet date all
monetary transactions should be reported using the closing rate. Thus, creditor of US
$10,000 on 31.3.2011 will be reported at ` 4,40,000 (i.e. $10,000 × ` 44) and exchange
profit of ` 10,000 (i.e. 4,50,000 – 4,40,000) should be credited to Profit and Loss account
in the year 2010-11. On 7.7.2011, creditor of $10,000 is paid at the rate of ` 43. As per
AS 11, exchange difference on settlement of the account should also be transferred to
Profit and Loss account. Therefore, ` 10,000 (i.e. 4,40,000 – 4,30,000) will be credited to
Profit and Loss account in the year 2011-12.

Question 4

71
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Answer
(a) As per AS 11 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”, an enterprise
may enter into a forward exchange contract to establish the amount of the reporting
currency required, the premium or discount arising at the inception of such a forward
exchange contract should be amortized as expenses or income over the life of the
contract.
Forward Rate ` 62.50
Less: Spot Rate (`60.75)
Premium on Contract ` 1.75
Contract Amount US$ 5,00,000
Total Loss (5,00,000 x 1.75) ` 8,75,000
Contract period 5 months
3 months falling in the year 2017-18; therefore loss to be recognized in 2017-
18 (8,75,000/5) x 3 = ` 5,25,000. Rest ` 3,50,000 will be recognized in the f o l l o w i n g

Answer
` (Dr.)
Forward contract rate 64.25
Less: Spot rate (61.50)

Forward Contract Amount $ 50,000
Total loss on entering into forward contract = ($ 50,000 × ` 2.75) `1,37,500
Contract period 6 months
Loss for the period 1st November, 2015 to 31st March, 2016 5 months

months. Company entered into a forward contract for five months @ ` 64.75 per dollar.
Exchange rate per dollar on 1st January 2017 was ` 64.25. How will you recognize the
profit or loss on forward contract in the books of Rahul Ltd.?
(Hint: 200,000 * 0.5 = 100,000 loss over the life of the contract).

Question 6
Legal Ltd. is engaged in the manufacturing of rubber. For its plant, it required machineries
of latest technology. It usually resorts to Long Term Foreign Currency Borrowings for its
fund requirements. On 1st April, 2017, it borrowed US $1 million from International
Funding Agency, USA when exchange rate was 1 $ = ` 63. The funds were used for
acquiring machineries, on the same date, to be used in three different plants. The useful
life of the machineries is 10 years and their residual value is ` 30,00,000.
Earlier also the company used to purchase machineries out of foreign borrowings. The
exchange differences arising on such borrowings were charged to profit and loss account
and were not capitalized even though the company had an option to capitalize it as per
notified AS 11.
Now for this new purchase of machinery, Legal Ltd, is interested to avail the option of
capitalizing the same to the cost of asset. Exchange rate on 31st March, 2018 is 1 US
$ = ` 62. Assume that on 31st March, 2018, Legal Ltd. is not having any old long term
foreign currency borrowings except for the amount borrowed for machinery purchased
on 1st April, 2017.
Comment whether Legal Ltd. can capitalize the exchange difference to the cost of
asset on 31st March, 2018. If yes, then calculate the depreciation amount on machineries
as on 31st March, 2018.
Answer
As per paragraph 46A of AS 11, ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’, in
respect of accounting periods commencing on or after 1st April, 2011, for an enterprise
which had earlier exercised the option under paragraph 46 or not (such option to be
irrevocable and to be applied to all such foreign currency monetary items), the exchange
differences 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 the acquisition of a depreciable
capital asset, can be added to or deducted from the cost of the asset and shall be
depreciated over the balance life of the asset.

73
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Accordingly, though Legal Ltd. had not earlier exercised the option, yet it can avail the
option to capitalize the exchange difference to the cost of machinery by virtue of para
46A of AS 11. Further, since Legal Ltd. has no earlier long term foreign currency
borrowings, it is not required to apply capitalization option to earlier borrowing also.

Question 7
Bansal Company Ltd. imported raw material worth US Dollars 12,000 on 15th Jan, 2019
when the exchange rate was ` 68 per US Dollar. The payment for the transaction was
made on 5th May, 2019 when exchange rate was ` 64 per US Dollar. At the year end,
31st March, 2019, the rate of exchange was ` 65 per US Dollar. The accountant of the
company passed entry on 31st March, 2019 adjusting the cost of raw material consumed
for the difference between ` 64 and ` 68 per US Dollar. Discuss whether this treatment
is justified as per the provisions of AS-11 (Revised).
(Nov’ 19)
Answer
As per 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. Accordingly, on 15th January, 2019, the raw material
purchased and its creditors will be recorded at US dollar 12,000 × ` 68 = ` 8,16,000.
Also, on balance sheet date such transaction is reported at closing rate of exchange,
hence it will be valued at the closing rate i.e. ` 65 per US dollar (USD 12,000 x ` 65
= ` 7,80,000) at 31st March, 2019, irrespective of the payment made for the same
subsequently at lower rate in the next financial year.

74
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

The difference of ` 3 (65 – 68) per US dollar i.e. ` 36,000 (USD 12,000 x ` 3) will be shown
as an exchange gain in the profit and loss account for the year ended 31st March, 2019
and will not be adjusted against the cost of raw materials.
In the subsequent year on settlement date, the company would recognize or provide in
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 ` 65 and ` 64 per US dollar i.e.
` 12,000.
Hence, the accounting treatment adopted by the Accountant of the company is incorrect
i.e. it is not in accordance with the provisions of AS 11.

Question 8
Explain briefly the accounting treatment needed in the following cases as per AS 11 as
on 31.03.2020
(i) Debtors include amount due from Mr. S ` 9,00,000 recorded at the prevailing

1=`73.50 on 31st March,2020 US $ 1= ` 72.50 on 1st April,2019.

(ii) Long term loan taken on 1st April, 2019 from a U.S. company amounting to
` 75,00,000. `5,00,000 was repaid on 31st December, 2019, recorded at US $ 1 =
` 70.50. interest has been paid as and when debited by the US company. US $1=
` 73.50 on 31st March,2020 US $1=1` 72.50 on 1st April, 2019.

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 recognized as income or
as expenses in the period in which they arise.

However, at the option of an entity, exchange differences 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 the acquisition of a non-depreciable capital asset can be accumulated
in a “Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account” in the enterprise’s
financial statements and amortized over the balance period of such long-term asset/
liability, by recognition as income or expense in each of such periods.

Treatment: Credit Loan A/c and

` 67,987.48

Thus, Exchange Difference on Long term loan amounting ` 67,987.48 may either be charged
to Profit and Loss A/c or to Foreign Currency Monetary Item Translation Difference Account
but exchange difference on debtors amounting ` 18,750 is required to be transferred to
Profit and Loss A/c.
NOTE 1: *Exchange Difference Loss (net of adjustment of exchange gain on repayment of
` 5,00,000) has been calculated in the above solution. Alternative considering otherwise
also possible.
NOTE 2: Date of sales transaction of ` 9 lakhs has not been given in the question and
hence it has been assumed that the transaction took place during the year ended 31

CLASSWORK SOLUTIONS

Answer 1
(a) Receipt of grant of`100 lakhs can be credited to Depreciable Fixed Asset Account
so as to reduce its cost. Alternatively `100 lakhs can be credited to Deferred
Government Grant Account & amortised over useful life of Fixed Asset in proportion
of Depreciation.
(b) The grant received is in the nature of capital subsidy (AS Promoters contribution)
and hence to be credited to Capital Reserve A/c.
The Plant should appear at `300 lakhs.
(c) The grant received from state government should be deducted from the cost of the
asset.

HOMEWORK SECTION

Question 1
Supriya Ltd. received a grant of `2,500 lakhs during the accounting year 2010-11 from
government for welfare activities to be carried on by the company for its employees.
The grant prescribed conditions for its utilization. However, during the year 2011-12, it
was found that the conditions of grants were not complied with and the grant had to
be refunded to the government in full. Elucidate the current accounting treatment, with
reference to the provisions of AS-12.

As per para 11 of AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, Government grants sometimes

become refundable because certain conditions are not fulfilled. A government grant
that becomes refundable is treated as an extraordinary item as per AS 5. The amount
refundable in respect of a government grant related to revenue is applied first against
any unamortized deferred credit remaining in respect of the grant. To the extent that the
amount refundable exceeds any such deferred credit, or where no deferred credit exists,
the amount is charged immediately to profit and loss statement. In the present case, the
amount of refund of government grant should be shown in the profit & loss account of
the company as an extraordinary item during the year 2011-12.

Question 2
Santosh Ltd. has received a grant of `8 crores from the Government for setting up a
factory in a backward area. Out of this grant, the company distributed ` 2 crores as
dividend. Also, Santosh Ltd. received land free of cost from the State Government but it
has not recorded it at all in the books as no money has been spent. In the light of AS 12
examine, whether the treatment of both the grants is correct.

As per AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, when government grant is received for
a specific purpose, it should be utilized for the same. So the grant received for setting up
a factory is not available for distribution of dividend.

In the second case, even if the company has not spent money for the acquisition of land,
land should be recorded in the books of accounts at a nominal value. The treatment of
both the elements in the treatment of the grant is incorrect as per AS 12.

Question 3
Viva Ltd. received a specific grant of ` 30 lakhs for acquiring the plant of ` 150 lakhs
during2007-08 having useful life of 10 years. The grant received was credited to deferred
income in the balance sheet. During 2010-11, 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 ` 21 lakhs and written down value of
plant was ` 105 lakhs.
(i) What should be the treatment of the refund of the grant and the effect on cost of
the fixed asset and the amount of depreciation to be charged during the year 2010-
11 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 2007-08 assuming plant account showed the balance of ` 84
lakhs as on 1.4.2010?
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 ` 30 lakhs and balance in deferred income is `
21 lakhs, ` 9 lakhs shall be charged to the profit and loss account for the year
2010-11. 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 2007-08
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 ` 30 lakhs. The increased cost
of ` 30 lakhs of the plant should be amortized over 7 years (residual life).

Question 4
M/s A Ltd. has set up its business in a designated backward area with an investment of
` 200 Lakhs. The Company is eligible for 25% subsidy and has received ` 50 Lakhs from
the Government.
Explain the treatment of the Capital Subsidy received from the Government in the
Books of the Company.

84
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

As per para 10 of AS 12 “Accounting for Govt. Grants”, Where the government grants
are of the nature of promoters’ contribution, i.e., they are given with reference to the
total investment in an undertaking or by way of contribution towards its total capital
outlay (for example, central investment subsidy scheme) and no repayment is ordinarily
expected in respect thereof, the grants are treated as capital reserve.

Subsidy received by A Ltd. is in the nature of promoter’s contribution, since this grant is
given with reference to the total investment in an undertaking and by way of contribution
towards its total capital outlay and no repayment is ordinarily expected in respect
thereof. Therefore, this grant should be treated as capital reserve which can be neither
distributed as dividend nor considered as deferred income.

Question 1
On 01.04.2014, XYZ Ltd. received Government grant of ` 100 Lakhs for an acquisition of
new machinery costing ` 500 lakhs. The grant was received and credited to the cost of
the asset. The life span of the machinery is 5 years. The machinery is depreciated at 20%
on WDV method.
The company had to refund the entire grant in 2nd April, 2017 due to non- fulfilment
of certain conditions which was imposed by the government at the time of approval of
grant.
How do you deal with the refund of grant to the government in the books of XYZ Ltd., as
per AS 12? (May’18)

Answer
According to AS 12 on Accounting for Government Grants, the amount refundable in
respect of a grant related to a specific fixed asset (if the grant had been credited to the
cost of fixed asset at the time of receipt of grant) should be recorded by increasing the
book value of the asset, by the amount refundable. Where the book value is increased,
depreciation on the revised book value should be provided prospectively over the residual
useful life of the asset.

 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Answer
(i) When Government Grant is related to revenue,
(ii) When Government Grant is related to specific fixed assets,
(iii) When Government Grant is in the nature of Promoter's contribution.

As per AS 12, refund of Government Grant is treated in the following manner:

(a) When Government Grant is related to Revenue:
(i) The amount of refund is first adjusted against any unamortized deferred credit
balance still remaining in respect of the Grant
(ii) Any excess refund over such deferred credit balance or where no deferred credit
exists, is immediately charged to Profit & Loss Account.

(b) When Government Grant is related to specific Fixed Asset:

(i) The amount of refund will increase the Book Value of the Asset, if at the time
of receipt of Grant, the cost of asset was reduced by the amount of Grant.
(ii) If at the time of receipt, the Grant amount was credited to Deferred Grant
Account, then the amount of refund will first reduce the unamortized balance
of Deferred Grant Account, any excess refund will reduce the Capital Reserve.
When the Government Grant is in the nature of Promoter’s Contribution: Capital
Reserve will be reduced by the amount of refund.

In lakhs ` In lakhs `
I Fixed Assets Dr. 32
To Bank A/c 32
(Being grant refunded)

2. Value of Fixed Assets after two years but before refund of grant
Fixed assets initially recorded in the books
= ` 80 lakhs – ` 32 lakhs
= ` 48 lakhs Depreciation p.a.
= (` 48 lakhs – `8 lakhs)/4 years
= ` 10 lakhs per year for first two years.
Value of the assets before refund of grant =` 48 lakhs - ` 20 lakhs
= ` 28 lakhs
3. Value of Fixed Assets after refund of grant
Value of Fixed Assets before refund of grant ` 28 lakhs
Add Refund of grant ` 32 lakhs
` 60 lakhs
4. Amount of depreciation for remaining two years
Value of the fixed assets after refund of grant –residual value of the assets / No. of years
= ` 60 lakhs - ` 8 lakhs / 2
= ` 26 lakhs per annum will be charged for next two years.

(2) 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 p.a. x 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:
` `
I Deferred Grant A/c Dr. 16 lakhs
Profit & Loss A/c Dr. 16 lakhs
To Bank A/c 32 lakhs
(Being Government grant refunded)

 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

1 Value of Fixed Assets after two years but before refund of grant
Fixed assets initially recorded in 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 x 2 years)
= ` 44 lakhs

2. Value of Fixed Assets after refund of grant

On refund of grant the balance of deferred 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 6
How would you treat the following in the accounts in accordance with AS-12 'Government
Grants'?
(i) ` 35 Lakhs received from the Local Authority for providing Medical facilities to the
employees.
(ii) ` 100 Lakhs received as Subsidy from the Central Government for setting up a unit
in a notified backward area.
(iii) ` 10 Lakhs Grant received from the Central Government on installation of anti-
pollution equipment. (May’ 19)

Answer
(a) ` 35 lakhs received from the local authority for providing medical facilities to
the employees is a grant received in the nature of revenue grant. Such grants are
generally presented as a credit in the profit and loss statement, either separately
or under a general heading such as ‘Other Income’. Alternatively, ` 35 lakhs may be
deducted in reporting the related expense i.e. employee benefit expenses.
(b) As per AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, where the government grants
are in the nature of promoters’ contribution, i.e. they are given with reference to
the total investment in an undertaking or by way of contribution towards its total
capital outlay and no repayment is ordinarily expected in respect thereof, the grants
are treated as capital reserve which can be neither distributed as dividend nor
considered as deferred income.

91
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

In the given case, the subsidy received from the Central Government for setting
up a unit in notified backward area is neither in relation to specific fixed asset nor
in relation to revenue. Thus, amount of ` 100 lakhs should be credited to capital
reserve.
(c) ` 10 lakhs grant received for installation anti-pollution equipment is a grant
related to specific fixed asset. Two methods of presentation in financial statements
of grants related to specific fixed assets are regarded as acceptable alternatives.
Under first method, the grant is shown as a deduction from the gross value of the
asset concerned in arriving at its book value. The grant is thus recognised in the profit
and loss statement over the useful life of a depreciable asset by way of a reduced
depreciation charge. Under the second method, grants related to depreciable assets
are treated as deferred income which is recognised in the profit and loss statement
on a systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset.
Thus, ` 10 lakhs may either be deducted from the cost of equipment or treated as
deferred income to be recognized on a systematic basis in profit & Loss A/c over the
useful life of equipment.

Question 7
(a) Darshan Ltd. purchased a Machinery on 1st April, 2016 for ` 130 lakhs (Useful
life is 4Years). Government grant received is ` 40 lakhs for the purchase of above
Machinery.
Salvage value at the end of useful life is estimated at ` 60 lakhs. Darshan Ltd.
decides to treat the grant as deferred income.
Your are required to calculate the amount of depreciation and grant to be recognized
in profit & loss account for the year ending 31st March, 2017,31st March, 2018, 31st
March, 2019& 31st March, 2020.
Darshan Ltd. follows straight line method for charging depreciation.

Answer
(a) As per 12 “Accounting for government grants”, grants related to depreciable assets,
if treated as deferred income are recognized in the profit and loss statement on a
systematic and rational basis over the useful life of the asset.
Amount of depreciation and grant to be recognized in the profit and loss account each year
Depreciation per year:

92
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

`in lakhs
Cost of the Asset 130
Less: Salvage value (60)

Depreciation per year(70lakhs/4) 17.50

` 17.50 Lakhs depreciation will be recognized for the year ending 31st March, 2017,
31st March, 2018, 31st March, 2019 and 31st March, 2020.
Amount of grant recognized in Profit and Loss account each year :
40 lakhs /4 years = ` 10 Lakhs for the year ending 31st March, 2017, 31st March,
2018, 31st March, 2019 and 31st March, 2020.

Question 8
(i) Zinga Limited received a 20% Subsidy on ` 100 lakhs for investment in designated
backward area during 2016-17. The Subsidy received was credited to General
Reserve. During 2019-2020, the company paid dividend out of the amount of
Subsidy Received for ` 10 lakhs. Is the above treatment done for Subsidy received
and Dividend paid is correct ? If not, give correct treatment.

(ii) Singha Limited received a specific grant of ` 90 lakhs for acquiring a plant of `
250 lakhs (having useful life of 10 years) during 2016-17. The grant received was
credited to deferred income in the Balance Sheet, During 2019-2020, the company
could not comply some condition laid down for the grant for plant, it had to refund
the whole grant for plant to the Government. Balance in the deferred income on that
date was ` 63 lakhs and written down value of plant was ` 175 lakhs.

You are required to state :

(i) What should be the treatment of the refund of grant in 2019-2020?
(ii) What would be the effect on cost of the fixed asset?
(iii) What amount of depreciation should be charged during the Financial year
2019-2020 ? (Nov’ 20)

Answer
(i) As per AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, when government grant is received
for a specific purpose, it should be utilized for the same. So the grant received

93
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

for investment in backward area cannot be credited to General Reserve and is not
available for distribution of dividend.

(ii) (i) As per AS12, ‘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 In this case the grant refunded is `90 lakhs and balance in deferred
income is ` 63 lakhs, ` 27 lakhs shall be charged to the profit and loss account
for the year 2019-20.
(ii) There will be no effect on the cost of the fixed asset
(iii) Depreciation charged will be on the same basis as charged in the earlier years.
Hence charged during the year 2019-20 shall be ` 25 lakhs (175 years /7
years).

a special Machinery during 1998 – 99. The cost of Machinery was ` 20 crores and had a
useful life of 9 years. During 2002 – 03, the grant has become refundable due to non-
fulfillment of certain conditions attached to it. Assuming the entire grant was deducted
from the cost of Machinery in the year of acquisition. State with reasons, the accounting
treatment to be followed in the year 2002 -03.

Question 2
Siva Limited received a grant of ` 1,500 lakhs during the last accounting year (2009-10)
from Government for welfare activities to be carried on by the company for its employees.
The grant prescribed conditions for its utilization. However during the year 2010-11, it
was found that the conditions of the grant were not complied with and the grant had to
be refunded to the Government in full. Elucidate the current accounting treatment with
reference to the provisions of AS 12.

Answer 2
As per para 11 of AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, Government Grant may,
sometimes, become refundable if certain conditions are not fulfilled. A government grant
that becomes refundable is treated as extra-ordinary item as per AS, 5 ‘Net Profit or Loss
for the Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies.

The amount refundable in respect of a government grant related to revenue is applied first
against any unamortized deferred credit remaining in respect of the grant. To the extent
that the amount refundable exceeds any such deferred credit, or where no deferred credit
exists, the amount is charged immediately to profit and loss statement.

In the given case, the amount of refund of grant of ` 1,500 lakhs should be charged to the
profit and loss account in the year 2010 – 2011 as an extraordinary item.

AS 13 - ACCOUNTING FOR
INVESTMENT

1. WHAT ARE INVESTMENTS?

Investments are:-
• Assets
• Held by an enterprise for earning incomes by way of dividends, interest, a n d ,
rentals, for capital appreciation, or for other benefits to the investing
enterprise.
Assets held as stock in trade are not 'investments'.
Some investments have no physical existence and are represented merely by
certificates or similar documents while others exist in physical form.

2. DETERMINATION OF COST:
• If investments are purchased:
The cost of an investment includes acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees
and duties. Interest, dividends and rentals receivables in connection with an
investment are generally regarded as income, being the return on investment.
However, in some circumstances, such inflows represent a recovery of cost and
do not form part of income. In such case, it should be deducted from the cost.
• If investments are acquired for consideration other than cash:

Sr. no. Consideration in the form of Valued at

1. Shares or securities Fair value of securities issued
2. Other assets Fair value of asset given up or Fair value
of asset acquired whichever is known more
appropriately.

• Cost of right shares:

- When right shares offered are subscribed for, the cost of right shares is added
to the carrying amount of the original holding.
- If the right shares are not subscribed for but are sold in the market, the sale
proceeds are taken to the profit and loss statement.

97
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

• However, where the investments are acquired on cum cum-right basis and the
market value of investments immediately after their becoming ex- right is lower
than the cost for which they were acquired, it may be appropriate to apply the
sale proceeds of right to reduce the carrying amount of such investments to the
market value.

3. DETERMINATION OF FAIR VALUE:

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a
knowledge- able, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arms'
length transaction.

4. DETERMINATION OF CARRYING AMOUNT OF INVESTMENTS (VALUATION):

• Current investments
Current Investments should be carried in the financial statement at lower of
cost or fair value. The lower of cost or fair value should not be determined on
overall basis. It should be determined-
a. On an individual investment basis (More prudent) or
b. By category of investment.
Any reduction to fair value of current investments or any reversal of such
reduction should be included in profit or loss account.
• Long term Investments:
Long term investments are usually carried at cost.
However, when there is a decline, other than temporary, in the value of a long term
investment, the carrying amount is reduced to recognize the decline.
Such reduction should be determined and made for each long term investments
individually.

4. Disposal:
On disposal of an investment, the difference between the carrying amount and
disposal proceeds, net of expenses, is recognized in profit or loss account. When
disposing of a part of the holding of an individual investment, the carrying amount
to be allocated to that part is to be determined on the basis of the average carrying
amount of the total holding of the investment (i.e. weighted average cost)

5. RECLASSIFICATION OF INVESTMENTS:
From long term investment to current investment.

98
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Transfers are made at the lower of cost and carrying amount on the date of transfer
From current investment to long term investment.
Transfers are made at the lower of cost and fair value on date of transfer.

6. DISCLOSURE:
• The accounting policies for determination of carrying amount of investments.
• An Enterprise should disclose current Investments and long term investments
separately.
• As per Schedule III of Companies Act, 2013 further classification should disclose
investments in:
a. Government securities
b. Shares, Debentures or bonds
c. Investment properties
d. Others-Specifying nature.
• The amounts included in profit or loss statement for:
a. Interest, dividends and rentals on investments showing separately such in-
come from long term and current investments. Gross income should be stated,
the amount of income tax deducted at source being included under Advance
Taxes paid.
b. Profit or loss on disposal of current investments and changes in the carrying
amount of such investments.
c. Profit or loss on disposal of Long term investments and changes in the carrying
amount of such investments.
• Significant restrictions on the rights of ownership, realisability of investments or the
remittance of income and proceeds of the disposal.

Answer 2
As it is stated in the question that financial statement for the year ended 31st March,
2012 are under preparation, the views have been given on the basis that the financial
statements are yet to be completed and approved by the Board of Directors.
As per AS 13, Accounting for investment, long term investment should be valued at cost
unless reduction is other than temporary. Here, cost of unquoted long term investment
was ` 2,00,000, however, fair value of this investment is ` 20,000 only and this reduction
is due to cash losses suffered by company with declining market share, which is other
than temporary in nature.
On this basis, the facts of the given case clearly suggest that the provision for diminution
of ` 1,80,000 (` 2,00,000 - ` 20,000) should be made to reduce the carrying amount of
long term investment to ` 20,000 in the financial statements as on 31st March, 2012.

Answer 4
As per para 2(d) of AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’, the accounting standard is not
applicable to Bank, Insurance Company, Mutual Funds. In this case Sabka Bank is a
bank, therefore, AS 13 does not apply to it. For banks, the RBI has issued guidelines for
classification and valuation of its investment and Sabka Bank should comply with those
RBI Guidelines/Norms. Therefore, though Sabka Bank has not followed the provisions of
AS 13, yet it would not be said as non-compliance since, it is complying with the norms
stipulated by the RBI.

Question 1
M/s. Active Builders Ltd. invested in the shares of another company on 31st October,
2015 at a cost of ` 4,50,000. It also earlier purchased Gold of ` 5,00,000 and Silver of

How will the above investments be shown in the books of accounts of M/s. Active Builders
Ltd. for the year ending 31st March, 2016 as per the provision of AS – 13?
(May’16)
Answer
As per AS 13 „Accounting for Investments", if the shares are purchased with an intention
to hold for short-term period then investment will be shown at the realizable value.
If equity shares are acquired with an intention to hold for long term period then it will
continue to be shown at cost in the Balance Sheet of the company. However, provision
for diminution shall be made to recognize a decline, if other than temporary, in the value
of the investments. In the given case, shares purchased on 31st October, 2015, will be
valued at ` 3,75,000 as on 31st March, 2016.
Gold and silver are generally purchased with an intention to hold it for long term period
until and unless given otherwise. Hence, the investment in gold and silver (purchased
on 31st March, 2013) shall continue to be shown at cost as on 31st March, 2016 i.e.,
` 5,00,000 and ` 2,25,000 respectively, though their realizable values have been increased.
Thus the shares, gold and silver will be shown at
` 3,75,000, ` 5,00,000 and ` 2,25,000 respectively and hence, total investment will be
valued at ` 11,00,000 in the books of account of M/s Active Builders for the year ending

investments should be carried in the financial statements at cost. However, provision
for diminution shall be made to recognise a decline, other than temporary, in the
value of the investments, such reduction being determined and made for each
investment individually. The standard also states that indicators of the value of an
investment are obtained by reference to its market value, the investee's assets and
results and the expected cash flows from the investment. On this basis, the facts of
the given case clearly suggest that the provision for diminution should be made to
reduce the carrying amount of shares to ` 45,000 in the financial statements for the
year ended 31st March, 2016 and charge the difference of loss of ` 2,55,000 to Profit
and Loss account.
(ii) As per AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’, where investments are reclassified from

date of transfer. In the given case, the market value of the investment (X Ltd. shares)
is ` 2.50 lakhs, which is lower than its cost i.e. `5 lakhs. Therefore, the transfer to
long term investments should be made at cost i.e. `2.50 lakhs. The loss of ` 2.50
lakhs should be charged to profit and loss account

value is ` 37,000 which is lower than the cost of ` 39,000. The reclassification of
current investment as long-term investments will be made at
` 37,000.
(ii) As per AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’, 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. The carrying / book value of the long term

on 15th June, 2018` 3.8 lakhs (May’ 19)

Answer
As per AS 13 (Revised) ‘Accounting for Investments’, 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; and where investments are reclassified from current to
long term, transfers are made at lower of cost and fair value on the date of transfer.
Accordingly, the re-classification will be done on the following basis:
(i) In this case, carrying amount of investment on the date of transfer is less than the
cost; hence this re-classified current investment should be carried at ` 12 lakhs in
the books.
(ii) In this case also, carrying amount of investment on the date of transfer is less
than the cost; hence this re-classified current investment should be carried at ` 5
lakhs in the books.
(iii) In this case, reclassification of current investment into long-term investments will
be made at ` 7 lakhs as cost is less than its fair value of ` 8.5 lakhs on the date of
transfer.
(iv) In this case, market value (considered as fair value) is ` 3.8 lakhs on the date of
transfer which is lower than the cost of ` 4 lakhs. The reclassification of current

Ans.
As per AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’, where investments are reclassified from
current to long-term, transfers are made at the lower of cost and fair value at the date
of transfer.
When long-term investments are re-classified as current investments, transfers are
made at the lower of cost and carrying amount at the date of transfer.
(i) In the first case, the market value of the investments is ` 30 lakhs , which is higher
than its cost i.e. ` 25 lakhs. Therefore, the transfer to long term investments should
be made at cost i.e. ` 25 lakhs
(ii) In the second case, the market value of the investment is ` 12.5 lakhs*, which is
lower than its cost i.e. ` 20 lakhs. Therefore, the transfer to long term investments
should be made in the books at the market value i.e. ` 12.5 lakhs. The loss of ` 7.50
lakhs (20-12.5) should be charged to Profit and Loss account.
(iii) In the third case, the book value of the investments is ` 11 lakhs, which is lower
than its cost, i.e. ` 15 lakhs. As the transfer should be at carrying amount, hence this
re- classified current investment should be carried at ` 11 lakhs.

term. The market value on date of transfer is ` 11 Lakhs.
You are required to advise PQR Investments Ltd., the correct treatment in light of
relevant accounting standard.
Answer
As per AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’, 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. And where investments are reclassified from current to long term,
transfers are made at lower of cost and fair value on the date of transfer.
Accordingly, the re-classification will be done on the following basis:
(i) In this case, carrying amount of investment on the date of transfer is less than the
cost; hence this re-classified current investment should be carried at ` 8 lakhs in the
books.
(ii) The carrying / book value of the long term investment is same as cost i.e. ` 5 lakhs.
Hence this long term investment will be reclassified as current investment at book
value of ` 5 lakhs only.
(iii) In this case, reclassification of current investment into long-term investments will
be made at ` 8 lakhs as cost is less than its market value (considered as fair value)
of ` 9 lakhs.
(iv) In this case, market value is ` 11 lakhs which is lower than the cost of ` 12 lakhs.
The reclassification of current investment as long-term investments will be made at
` 11 lakhs.

Question 9

How above investments will be shown in the books of accounts of M/s A Limited for the
year ending 31st March, 2020 as per the provisions of AS 13 (Revised)?
(Nov’20)

111
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

Answer
As per AS 13 (Revised) ‘Accounting for Investments, for investment in shares - if the
investment is purchased with an intention to hold for short-term period (less than one
year), then it will be classified as current investment and to be carried at lower of cost
and fair value.
In the given case ` 25,000 shares held as current investment will be carried in the books
at ` 23,750 (` 47,500/2).
If equity shares are acquired with an intention to hold for long term period (more than
one year), then should be considered as long-term investment to be shown at cost in
the Balance Sheet of the company. However, provision for diminution should be made
to recognize a decline, if other than temporary, in the value of the investments. Hence,
` 25,000 shares held as long-term investment will be carried in the books at ` 25,000.
Gold and silver are generally purchased with an intention to hold them for long term
period (more than one year) until and unless given otherwise.
Hence, the investment in Gold and Silver (purchased on 1st March, 2019) should continue
to be shown at cost (since there is no ‘other than temporary’ diminution) as on 31st March,
2020. Thus Gold at ` 1,00,000 and Silver at ` 30,00,000 respectively will be shown in the
books.

Silver ` 5,10,000
You are required to explain how will the above investments be shown (individually and in

Question 11
Kunal Securities Ltd. wants to reclassify its investments in accordance with AS-13 (Revised).
State the values, at which the investments have to be reclassified in the following cases:
(i) Long term investment in Company A, costing ` 10.5 lakhs is to be re-classified as
current investment. The company had reduced the value of these investments to

112
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

` 9 lakhs to recognize a permanent decline in value. The fair value on the date of
reclassification is ` 9.3 lakhs.
(ii) Long term investment in Company B, costing ` 14 lakhs is to be re-classified as
current investment The fair value on the date of reclassification is ` 16 lakhs and
book value is ` 14 lakhs.
(iii) Current investment in Company C, costing `12 lakhs is to be re-classified as long
term investment as the company wants to retain them. The market value on the
date of reclassification is ` 13.5 lakhs.
(iv) Current investment in Company D, costing ` 18 lakhs is to be re-classified as long
term investment. The market value on the date of reclassification is ` 16.5 lakhs.
Answer
As per AS 13 (Revised) ‘Accounting for Investments’, 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. And where investments are reclassified from current to
long term, transfers are made at lower of cost and fair value on the date of transfer.
Accordingly, the re-classification will be done on the following basis:
(i) In this case, carrying amount of investment on the date of transfer is less than the
cost; hence this re-classified current investment should be carried at ` 9 lakhs in the
books.
(ii) The carrying / book value of the long-term investment is same as cost i.e., ` 14

AS – 16 BORROWING COST

1. BORROWING COST :
Borrowing Cost includes interest and other costs incurred in connection with borrowed
funds.
Elements of borrowing costs generally include:
1. Interest and commitment charges on bank borrowings
2. Discounts and premiums on borrowings to the extent amortized
3. Other ancillary costs for arranging borrowings to the extent amortized
4. Finance charges in respect of assets under Finance lease, Hire purchase
5. Exchange rate differences relatable to foreign currency borrowings, to the extent
that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

2. QUALIFYING ASSET :
Qualifying Asset Is an asset that necessarily takes substantial period of time to get
ready for its:
• Intended use [Fixed Assets or Investment properties], OR
• Sale [Inventory]

Note:
Ordinarily a period of 12 months is considered substantial period unless a shorter or
longer period can be justified.
The following are, however, not qualifying assets:
• Inventories routinely manufactured
• Inventories produced in large quantities on repetitive basis over short period
• Assets ready for intended use at the time of acquisition

3. ACCOUNTING FOR BORROWING COSTS :

Accounting Treatment - Borrowing Costs
Sr. Nature of borrowing costs Accounting treatment Remarks
No. prescribed by AS-16
1. Borrowing costs that are Capitalize as part of the Amount to be capitalized
directly attributable to the cost of that asset (i.e. period for which
acquisition construction or include in the cost of that capitalization should be
production of a qualifying assets) done to be determined as
asset per AS-16.
2. Other borrowing costs To be expensed in the -
period in which they are
incurred -

From the above table, it is clear that borrowing costs directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset should be capitalized as
part of cost of that asset.

4. SPECIFIC AND GENERAL BORROWINGS :

Borrowing costs can be related to either specific borrowings, or general borrowings.
i) Specific Borrowings:
As a general rule, specific borrowings are those which could have been avoided,
but for expenditure on Qualifying Asset. In this case, capitalisation rate is done
for the “actual borrowing costs” incurred.
Income on temporary investment of funds forming part of specific borrowings
alone should be deducted from borrowing cost & ONLY net amount should be
capitalized.
ii) General Borrowings:
Under this category, falls more than one type of borrowing (loans, debentures
ICDs, working capital borrowings, etc) used – either wholly or partly for
expenditure on Qualifying Asset. In this case, capitalisation rate will be
“weighted average of the borrowing costs outstanding” during the relevant
period
iii) Capitalisation ceiling:
Borrowing cost capitalized should not exceed borrowing cost actually incurred
during the period. This situation will arise in the case of general borrowings.

116
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

1. CAPITALISATION CRITERIA :
A. Commencement of Capitalisation:
The borrowing cost incurred on qualifying asset is to be capitalized only if all
the three following conditions are fulfilled
• Expenditure on Qualifying Asset is being incurred
• Borrowing Costs are incurred
• Activities are in progress; such activities include technical/administrative
work also. However, it does not include those, which do not result in a
change in the condition of the asset.
It follows, therefore, that there would be circumstances in which capitalisation
of borrowing costs are either to be suspended or stopped.

B. Suspension of capitalization:
It is possible that after commencement of capitalisation of Borrowing Cost,
one or more of the three conditions (stated above) may not subsequently be
fulfilled. Activities could stand suspended for (i) avoidable reasons, or (ii) for
unavoidable reasons.
Suspension of activity for avoidable reasons (do not capitalise)
Where activity necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale stands
suspended.
• Over extended periods, and
• Active development is interrupted
Borrowing Cost incurred during such periods of suspension represents cost of
holding incomplete asset and hence should not be capitalized.
Suspension of activity for unavoidable reasons (can continue to capitalise
subject to prudence)
The suspension which is in the nature of temporary delay and where such
delay is necessary for getting asset ready, e.g., maintaining of inventory (wine)
and high water level for bridge construction, the borrowing cost should be
capitalized.

C. Cessation of capitalization – stoppage

Capitalization of borrowing costs should cease when:
• All activities necessary for making assets ready for intended use/sale are
substantially complete

117
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

• Items of administrative work or finishing touches to be completed happen

to be minor in nature
• Where an asset is completed “in parts”, and completed part is capable of
use, when work on others is in progress, capitalization for completed part
should be stopped.

2. DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS:
1. The accounting policy followed for treatment of borrowing costs
2. The amount of borrowing costs capitalized during the period

Answer 3
The Accounting Standard Board (ASB) has opinioned that investments other than
investment properties are not qualifying assets as per AS 16 Borrowing Costs. Therefore,
interest cost of holding such investments cannot be capitalized. Further, even interest
in respect of investment properties can only be capitalized if such properties meet the
definition of qualifying asset, namely, that it necessarily takes a substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use or sale.

Also, where the investment properties meet the definition of ‘qualifying asset’, for the
capitalization of borrowing costs, the other requirements of the standard such as that
borrowing costs should be directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of the
investment property and suspension of capitalization as per paragraphs 17 and 18 of
AS16 have to be complied with.

earned an interest of ` 2,00,000.
Show the treatment of interest under Accounting Standard 16 and also explain nature

According to para 6 of 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.

Also para 10 of AS 16 “Borrowing Costs” 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.

Question 3
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 ` 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%).
(i) Interest for the period 2014-15
= US $ 10 lakhs x 4% × ` 62 per US $ = ` 24.80 lakhs
(ii) Increase in the liability towards the principal amount
= US $ 10 lakhs × ` (62 - 56) = ` 60 lakhs
(iii) Interest that would have resulted if the loan was taken in Indian currency
= US $ 10 lakhs × ` 56 x 10.5% = ` 58.80 lakhs
(iv) 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

124
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

` 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

Write short note on ‘Suspension of Capitalisation’ in context of Accounting Standard 16.
(May’16)
Answer
Capitalisation of borrowing costs should cease when substantially all the activities

126
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

asset is normally ready for its intended use or sale when its physical construction or
production is complete even though routine administrative work might still continue. If
minor modifications such as the decoration of a property to the user’s specification, are
all that are outstanding, this indicates that substantially all the activities are complete.
When the construction of a qualifying asset is completed in parts and a completed part
is capable of being used while construction continues for the other parts, capitalisation
of borrowing costs in relation to a part should cease when substantially all the activities
necessary to prepare that part for its intended use or sale are complete.

context of provisions of AS 16 'Borrowing Costs', show the treatment of interest and also
explain the nature of Assets. (Nov’ 20)

Answer
As per AS 16 A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of
time to get ready for its intended use or sale. Other investments and those inventories
that are routinely manufactured or otherwise produced in large quantities on a repetitive
basis over a short period of time, are not qualifying assets. Assets that are ready for their
intended use or sale when acquired also are not qualifying assets. 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.

Construction of factory shed amounting ` 240 lakhs is qualifying asset in the given case.
The interest for this amount during the year will be added to the cost of factory shed.

130
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

All others (purchase of machinery, vehicles and technical know how, working capital,
advance for tools/cranes) are non-qualifying assets and related borrowing cost will be
charged to Profit and Loss statement.

Qualifying Asset as per AS 16 (construction of a shed) = ` 240 lakhs Borrowing cost to

be capitalized = ` 40 lakhs x 240/320 = ` 30 lakhs Interest to be debited to Profit or Loss
account: ` (40 – 30) = ` 10 lakhs.

The preference share capital is a periodical capital (maximum 20 years) and on expiry of
stipulated period, their capital should be repaid which is called as 'Redemption'.

Legal Provisions (section 55)

1. As per companies Act, only fully paid preference shares can be redeemed. But if it is
specifically mentioned in the question to redeem partly paid shares then, it should
be assumed that first the call is made on these shares to make them fully paid and
then they are redeemed
2. All those preference shares where there are calls-in-arrears cannot be redeemed.
3. When the preference shares are redeemed at a premium, the premium on redemption
should be met out of divisible profits (Divisible Profits means profits available for
dividend and it includes General Reserve or Reserve Fund, Profit & Loss A/c, dividend
equalisation reserve, Revenue reserve, etc.).
4. Creation of CRR:
The Preference Shares can be redeemed either out of fresh issue or profits available
for dividend. When the preference share capital is redeemed, the company's capital
base goes down which is required to be re-instated by either the proceeds of fresh
issue of shares or out of divisible profits.

Note:
(1) If the proceeds of fresh issue is less than the nominal value of preference shares
redeemed, then CRR Should be created for difference amount.

 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

7 INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS

PART A : THEORY SECTION

(I) Investment in fixed interest securities

Accounting Procedure
1. When the given transaction is at ex-interest price, the price itself is cost and
additionally, the interest should be recorded in interest column.
2. When the transaction is given at cum-interest price, the given price should be
bifurcated into cost and interest for accounting purpose.
3. Record the entry for receiving half yearly interest on all the securities in hand on
each interest date (hidden adjustment).
4. When the investments are sold, the profit or loss on sale should be calculated
immediately (taking weighted average) and should be transferred to profit and loss
Account.
5. If no specification is given, the price should be concluded as Ex-Interest Price.
6. At the time of recording closing balance accrued interest on closing balance should
be credited to interest column and at the time of recording opening balance, accrued
should be debited to interest column (hidden adjustment).

(II) Treatment of Convertible Debentures:

When a company converts its debenture into shares, for a debenture holder, it is a sort of
barter exchange where he surrenders debentures and receives equity shares in return.
Entry :
Investment in equity shares of ______ Ltd. A/c Dr. xx
To Investment in Debentures of ______ Ltd. A/c xx

Note: 1. The cost of debentures surrendered will be considered as cost of equity shares
acquired and there will be no profit or loss on conversion. The profit or loss will arise
in future when these equity shares will be sold.
2. At the time of surrender of debentures, the debentureholder will receive interest

243
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

on debentures surrendered upto the date of surrender because now a fixed interest
security is getting converted into variable interest security (hidden adjustment).

(II) Investment Account of Equity Shares: When the equity shares are purchased the
payment itself is considered as cost because this is a variable interest security and
accrued dividend therein cannot be estimated.
Important Adjustments:
1. Treatment of Bonus Shares: When bonus shares are received it is technically not
a financial transaction because the cost involved is NIL but still in investment
a/c, the entry should be passed in quantity column as bonus shares received
will reduce average cost of investment.
2. Treatment of Right Issue: When the right shares are offered the shareholders has
following two options :
(a) Subscribe for shares: this is like a normal purchase of investment
(b) Renounce the right: the consideration received on transfer of right in favour
of some other person is considered as a sundry income to be credited to
profit / loss account.
3. Treatment of Final Dividend: When the dividend is received, it is to be bifurcated
into two parts :
(a) pre-acquisition period dividend - it is to be considered as a capital receipt
which should be credited to cost column so as to reduce the cost of
investment.
Bank A/c Dr. xx
To Investment A/c xx
(b) post-acquisition period dividend - it is a routine revenue income to be
credited in dividend column.
Bank A/c Dr. xx
To Dividend A/c xx

Note :
1. If purchase date of investment is not given then full dividend received is post
acquisition.

DEPARTMENTAL
10 ACCOUNTS

PART A : THEORY SECTION

If a business is divided into different divisions known as departments - it becomes desirable

to know the profit or loss for each department separately. This merely involves making
out separate Trading and Profit or Loss Account in columnar form. To facilitate this,
subsidiary books will be provided with suitable columns to disclose purchases and sale
of each department. Similarly even the stock registers are prepared in columnar form so
that stocks of each department can be known.

Allocation of Expenses:
Some expenses are incurred directly for each department. But common expenses are to
be allocated to various departments on suitable basis. Various common expenses should
be allocated as under :
1. Rent, Rates, Taxes, Insurance, etc of Building: These should be allocated in the ratio of
space occupied by each department.
2. Lighting : This should be allocated in the ratio of number of Electric points in each
department.
3. Staff related Expenses: This should be allocated in the ratio of number of employees
of each department.
5. Sale Related Expenses: (Carriage Outward, Bad Debts, Discount Allowed, Sales
Commission etc) should be allocated on the basis of sale of various department.
For this purpose inter departmental transfers should be excluded.
6. Purchase Related Items: (Discount received, carriage inwards, commission to purchase
manager etc) should be allocated in purchase ratio.
Expenses for which neither specific ratio nor suitable basis is available should be debited
in general Profit and Loss Account.

Inter - Departmental Transfers: At times one department uses goods traded by the other
department. The transfer may be at cost at fixed margin of profit or at selling price. The

317
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

accounting entry for inter departmental transfer is as follows :

Receiving Department A/c Dr. xx
To Giving department A/c xx
(If the transfer has been made at cost then no further adjustments are required).

Inter departmental transfers at other than cost :

In order to find out the real profitability / efficiency, one department may transfer goods
to another department at selling price. At year end if such transferred goods remain
unsold then, they must be at cost to receiving department.
Such unsold goods include profit of sending department from owners’ point of view. Thus,
it is necessary to find out true profit and therefore following accounting entry should be
passed at year end.
General Profit & Loss A/c Dr.
To stock reserve A/c
(Note : In the next year the above entry shall be reversed).

Steps for calculating stock reserve :

(i) Find out closing stock of receiving department.
(ii) Find out transferred goods included in the above closing stock.
(iii) Find out gross profit ratio of sending department.

Gross Profit = x 100

Note:
There is no need to calculate Gross Profit ratio if goods are transferred at cost +
profit prescribed in question itself.
(iv) Stock Reserve = Gross Profit Margin x Transferred goods.

Abnormal loss should not reduce Gross Profit but it should reduce Net Profit.
Hence Abnormal Loss is recorded in trading A/c – Credit side & P&L A/c – Debit

2. Normal Loss: Expected Loss

Normal Loss should reduce Gross Profit. hence it is not recorded in Trading A/c
– Credit side. Hence Normal Loss is a charge on GROSS PROFIT.

INDEPENDENT BRANCH (LOCAL)

When Branch maintains its own books of Accounts & prepares its own Trial Balance at
the end of the year then such type of Branch is called as Independent Branch. Head Office
will also prepare its own Trial Balance at the end of the year. From the point of view of an
outsider, Head Office & Branch are one & the same. Therefore we are required to prepare
consolidated Final Accounts for the entire organization (i.e. Head Office & Branch). Before
we start with consolidation, the following adjustments have to be considered.

I. Reconciliation of Head Office Account & Branch Accounts

Usual transactions like goods sent to Branch and Cash remitted to Head Office shall
take place between Head Office & Branch throughout the year. Such transactions

346
 INTER C.A. – ACCOUNTING

shall be recorded in the books of Head Office through Branch Accounts & in the
books of Branch through Head Office Accounts. If there is difference in Head Office
Accounts & Branch Account then that difference could be because of following two
reasons:-
i) Goods in Transit
ii) Cash in Transit
The above difference should be reconciled by passing a reconciliation entry either in
books of Head Office or in the books of Branch but never in both the books.

financial statements of the enterprise are being reported. The foreign branch trial balance
has to be converted into reporting currency on the basis as specified under Accounting
Standard 11 (revised). The conversion should be done in the following manner

(1) Integral Foreign Operations:

Particulars Basis
(i) Opening Stock Opening Rate i.e. rate prevailing at the
Commencement of the accounting year
(ii) Closing Stock Closing Rate i.e. rate prevailing at the end of the
accounting year.
(iii) Purchases & Sales Average Rate
(iv) Expenses & Income Average Rate
