MOCK TEST PAPER 2
INTERMEDIATE : GROUP – I
PAPER – 1: ACCOUNTING
ANSWERS
1. (a) (i) As per AS 2 ‘Valuation of Inventories’, certain costs are excluded from the cost of the
inventories and are recognized as expenses in the period in which incurred. Examples of
such costs are:
(a) abnormal amount 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;
(c) administrative overheads that do not contribute to bringing the inventories to their
present location and condition; and
(d) selling and distribution costs.
(ii) As per AS 2 “Valuation of Inventories”, the inventories are to be valued at lower of cost or
net realizable value. In this case, the cost of inventory is ` 10 lakhs. The net realizable
value is 11,00,000  90% = ` 9,90,000. So, the stock should be valued at ` 9,90,000.
(b) 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 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:
` `
Deferred Grant A/c Dr. 16 lakhs
Profit & Loss A/c Dr. 16 lakhs
To Bank A/c 32 lakhs
(Being Government grant refunded)
1. Value of Fixed Assets after two years but before refund of grant
Fixed assets initially recorded in the books = ` 80 lakhs
Depreciation for each year = (` 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.
(c) Constructing or acquiring a new asset may result in incremental costs that would have been
avoided if the asset had not been constructed or acquired. These costs are not be included in the
cost of the asset if they are not directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and
condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

The costs to be incurred by the company are in the nature of costs of reducing or reorganizing
the operations of the accompany. These costs do not meet that requirement of AS 10 “Property,
Plant and Equipment” and cannot, therefore, be capitalized.
(d) (i) False; As per AS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”, certain fundamental accounting
assumptions underlie the preparation and presentation of financial statements. T hey 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 on e 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.

Working Notes:
1. Sales ratio
Particulars `
Sales for period up to 30.06.2022 (4,80,000 X 3/6) 2,40,000
Sales for period from 01.07.2022 to 31.03.2023 (24,00,000 – 2,40,000) 21,60,000
Thus, Sales Ratio = 1 : 9
2. Time ratio
1st April, 2022 to 30 June, 2022: 1st July, 2022 to 31st March, 2023
= 3 months: 9 months = 1: 3
Thus, Time Ratio is 1: 3
6. (a) (i) Interest for the period 2022-23
= 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 ` 34 lakhs will
be considered as the borrowing cost. Thus, total borrowing cost would be ` 58.80 lakhs being the
aggregate of interest of ` 24.80 lakhs on foreign currency borrowings plus the exchange
difference to the extent of difference between interest on local currency borrowing and interest on
foreign currency borrowing of ` 34 lakhs.
Hence, ` 58.80 lakhs would be considered as the borrowing cost to be accounted for as per AS
16 and the remaining ` 26 lakhs (60 - 34) would be considered as the exchange difference to be
accounted for as per AS 11.

(d) The Framework for Recognition and Presentation of Financial statements recognizes 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) Realizable (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 generally 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 .
3. Realisable (Settlement) Value: As per realizable 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.
(e) Calculation of Interest and Cash Price
Ratio of interest and amount due = 8 / (100 + rate of interest) i.e. 8/108
To ascertain cash price, interest will be calculated from last instalment to first instalment as
follows:
No. of Amount due at the time Interest Cumulative
instalments of instalment Cash price
[1] [2] [3] (2-3) = [4]
3rd 12,000 8/108 of `12,000 =` 889 11,111
2nd 23,111 [W.N.1] 8/108 of ` 23,111 = `1,712 21,399
1st 33,399 [W.N.2] 8/108 of `33,399 = `2,474 30,925
5,075
Total cash price = ` 30,925 + ` 12,000 (down payment) =`42,925
Working Notes:
1. ` 11,111+ 2nd instalment of ` 12,000= ` 23,111
2. ` 21,399+ 1st instalment of ` 12,000= ` 33,399
