 PREFACE

Under the New Scheme of Education and Training which was introduced on
1 st July, 2023, 30% of the examination assessment is by the way of Objective
Type Questions at Intermediate and Final level. Therefore, to provide
hands-on practice for such type of questions, BOS launched MCQ Paper
Practice Portal on 1 st July, 2023. This online portal contains independent
MCQs as well as case scenario based MCQs both for conceptual clarity and
practice of the students.
In continuation to this handholding initiative and to provide quality
academic inputs to the students to help them grasp the intricate aspects of
the subject, the Board of studies has brought forth subject-wise booklets on
Case Scenarios at Intermediate and Final level. These booklets are
meticulously designed to assist Chartered Accountancy (CA) students in their
preparation of the CA course.

At the Intermediate level, the ‘Booklet on Case Scenarios for Paper 1:

Advanced Accounting’ carries integrated case scenarios involving more
than one Accounting Standard. It covers a wide range of scenarios covering
various provisions of Accounting Standards, ensuring that students gain a
thorough and diverse understanding of the subject. These case scenarios-
based MCQs are all application-oriented and arise from the facts of the case.
One needs to apply the provisions of AS to the facts of the case to choose
the correct option. At the end of each Case Scenario followed by MCQs, we
have also provided detailed solutions and explanations for each MCQ which
will enable students to evaluate their performance and identify areas
requiring further attention.
However, you are advised that before working out the case scenarios based
MCQs in this booklet, be thorough with the concepts and provisions of
Accounting Standards as discussed in the study material. After attaining
conceptual clarity, you will be able to apply the concepts learnt in answering
the case scenario-based MCQs. The process of learning concepts and
provisions of Accounting Standards will help you attain conceptual clarity
and hone your application and analytical skills so that you approach the
examination with confidence and a positive attitude.
We are confident that this booklet will serve as a valuable companion in your
preparation journey. We encourage students to make the most of this
resource by engaging deeply with the scenarios, reflecting on the MCQs, and
embracing the learning process.

Best wishes for your studies and success in the CA Intermediate

Examination!

ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. Option (b) Revenue should be recognized on completion of inspection

of components. The assessment would not change even in case where
inspection is normally known to lead to no quality rejections.

Reason:

As per AS 9, revenue should be recognized once the significant risks &

rewards are transferred which would take place after inspection.
2. Option (c) LPP should record gross income from advertisement through
media and preparation of advertisement material and gross amount of
payments to media and expenditure incurred for creation of an
advertisement.

Reason:

As per AS 9, LPP is acting as the principal and hence gross basis of

accounting would be followed.

3. Option (b) ii.

Reason:

As per AS 4, Events occurring after the balance sheet date are those
significant events, both favourable and unfavourable, that occur between
the balance sheet date and the date on which the financial statements are
approved by the Board of Directors in the case of a company, and, by the
corresponding approving authority in the case of any other entity. All the
events other than (ii) occurred only after the balance sheet date and those
events did not provide any further evidence of conditions that existed at
the balance sheet date.
 CASE SCENARIOS 5

4. Option (d) Distribution of dividend out of grant is incorrect. In the second

case, land should be recorded in the books of accounts at a nominal value.

Reason:
As per AS 12, grants should be utilized only for the purposes for which
they have been received by the entity and hence any distribution of
dividend in the above mentioned case in inappropriate. Further, land is
non-monetary government grant. Government grants may take the form
of non-monetary assets, such as land or other resources, given at
concessional rates. In these circumstances, it is usual to account for such
assets at their acquisition cost. Non-monetary assets given free of cost
are recorded at a nominal value.

 CASE SCENARIOS 11

2. Option (b)` 2,00,000

Reason:
As per Paragraph 17 of AS 16 states that capitalisation of borrowing cost
should be suspended during extended periods to which active
development is interrupted. Thus, interest cost from November 1, 2023 to

Reason:
As per paragraph 6 of AS 16, 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

work could start on 1st May, 2022 and Shubham Limited provides you the details
of the following costs incurred in relation to its construction:

`
Preparation and levelling of the land 80,000
Employment costs of the construction workers (per month) 29,000
Purchase of materials for the construction 21,24,000
Cost of relocating employees to new factory for work 60,000
Costs of inauguration ceremony on 1st January, 2023 80,000
Overhead costs incurred directly on the construction of the 25,000
factory (per month)
General overhead costs allocated to construction project by the Manager is

The construction of the factory was completed on 31st December, 2022 and
production could begin on 1st February, 2023. The overall useful life of the
factory building was estimated at 40 years from the date of completion.
However, it was estimated that the roof will need to be replaced 20 years after
the date of completion and that the cost of replacing the roof at current prices
would be 25% of the total cost of the building.
The construction of the factory was partly financed by a loan of ` 28 lakhs
borrowed on 1st April, 2022. The loan was taken at an annual rate of interest of

4. Option (d) 54,375 shares

Reason:
According to the Debt Equity Ratio Test, the maximum number of shares
that can be bought back is determined by ensuring that the company's

ADI Ltd (the Company), engaged in the business of manufacturing of urea, has
set up its business in a designated backward area which entitles the company
to receive from the Government of India a subsidy of 20% of the cost of
investment.
Having fulfilled all the conditions under the scheme, the Company on its
investment of ` 50 crores in capital assets received ` 10 crores from the
Government in January 2024 (financial year being 2023-24). The Company
wants to treat this receipt as an item of revenue and thereby reduce the losses
on profit and loss account for the year ended 31 March 2024.
ADI Ltd holds 51% in SHA Ltd. SHA Ltd is a joint venture of ADI Ltd due to a
contractual agreement. ADI Ltd is engaged in the manufacturing business and
it entered into a joint venture to get synergies in the same business. ADI Ltd
and SHA Ltd hold 10% and 30% respectively in SHB Ltd.
As per the requirements of SEBI, ADI Ltd prepared results/accounts for the
quarter ended 30 June 2024 and took following positions in respect of following
accounting matters:
i. Training expenses incurred during the quarter ended 30 June 2024 were
allocated equally over the four quarters because the benefit was spread
over the entire year and similarly some training expenses expected to be
incurred in the last quarter have been estimated and equally allocated
over the four quarters.
ii. Provision made for donation of ` 5 million expected to be made in the
second quarter.
iii. Since historically there has been an immaterial variance between budgets
and actuals, depreciation charge for the quarter was determined by the
budgeted figure.
iv. Incentives were provided to the customers if they purchase 1 million kgs
of urea on an annual basis. It was expected that at least 50 customers
would be able to achieve this target before the end of third quarter. No
provision was made for this incentive during the quarter ended 30 June
2024 since ADI Ltd believed that the provision was not yet fructified.

ADI Ltd owns 60% holding in ANI Ltd, an unquoted entity. The government has
recently announced an increase in interest rates. The increase will cause a fall in

equity will adjust downwards to improve the return available on this sort of
investment.

ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. Option (b) The subsidy should be credited to capital reserve

Reason:
As per AS 12, the grant is in the nature of promoter’s contribution. 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.
2. Option (a) In the consolidated accounts of ADI Ltd, it would account for
its 10% investment in SHB Ltd as per AS 13 and 30% investment of SHA
Ltd in SHB Ltd would be accounted for using equity method
Reason: ADI Ltd’s investment in SHB Ltd would be treated as any other
investment as per the requirements of AS 13. Further, SHB Ltd would be
treated as an associate of SHA Ltd as per the requirements of AS 23 and
therefore, for such investment equity method of accounting would be
required to be followed.
3. Option (d) Positions taken in points i, ii, iii and iv were incorrect
Reason:
i. Training expenses incurred during the quarter ended 30 June 2024
should be expensed in the same quarter and should not be deferred
as per the accrual basis of accounting. Further, any future costs
should not be recognized.

ii. Provision made for donation of ` 5 million expected to be made in

the second quarter is a future cost which should not be recognized.
iii. Depreciation should be computed based on useful life and not

4. Option (c) The increase is an indication that ADI Ltd’s holding in ANI Ltd
might be impaired. ADI Ltd should make a formal estimate of the

value of equity holdings. This is due to the fact that risk free investments
offer a higher return making them relatively more attractive. The market
value of equity will adjust downwards to improve the return available on

ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. Option (b) Closing Stock of Raw Material X ` 50,000 and closing stock of
Finished Goods ` 3,00,000
Reason:
If the finished good cost is more than the expected selling price then Raw
material is valued at Replacement cost. So Value of Raw Material will be
500 units @ ` 100 per unit and value of finished Goods will be ` 1,000
units @ 300 per unit
Cost of finished Goods
2,000 units of Raw Material @ 125 pe unit = ` 2,50,000
Labour Charges = ` 1,00,000
For 1,000 units = ` 3,50,000
Per unit Cost is ` 350 per unit so NRV is considered
2. Option (c) ` 3,05,000
Reason:
Cost of Self Constructed Asset:
Cost of raw material consumed
1500 units @ 125 per unit = ` 1,87,500
Add: Labour Charges = ` 90,000
Add: Installation cost = ` 15,000
Add: Borrowing cost
1,87,500 x 10% for 8 months = ` 12,500
` 3,05,000
3. Option (a) ` 12,500 interest to be capitalised and Profit & Loss A/c.
` 27,500 interest to be charged to Profit & Loss A/c

CASE SCENARIO 25

Energy Ltd. acquired a generator on 1st April, 20X1, for `100 lakh. The company
applied for a subsidy from the Indian Renewable Energy Development Authority
(IREDA) on 2nd April, 20X1. The subsidy was granted in June, 20X2, after the
accounts for the financial year 20X1-20X2 were finalized. The company did not
account for the subsidy in the financial statements for the year ended 31st
March, 20X2.

Additionally, consider the following scenarios:

1. The sanction letter for the subsidy was received in June, 20X2, before the
Board of Directors approved the accounts for the year 20X1-20X2.

2. Energy Ltd. had previously made similar applications for subsidies and
received them every time without exception.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. In the original scenario, how should the subsidy granted in June, 20X2, be
treated in the financial statements?

(a) Recognize it as income for the financial year 20X1-20X2.

(b) Treat it as a prior period item in the financial year 20X2-20X3.

(c) Deduct it from the cost of the generator in the financial year
20X2-20X3.

(d) Ignore it as it relates to a past financial year.

2. If the subsidy sanction letter was received before the accounts for
20X1-20X2 were approved by the Board of Directors, how should the
subsidy be treated?

(a) Recognize it in the financial statements for 20X1-20X2 by deducting

it from the cost of the generator.

(b) Disclose it as a contingent asset in the notes for 20X1-20X2.

74 ADVANCED ACCOUNTING

(c) Recognize it as deferred income in the financial year 20X2-20X3.

(d) Ignore it as the event occurred after 31st March, 20X2.

3. If Energy Ltd. had a history of receiving subsidies on all similar

applications in the past, how should the subsidy for 20X1-20X2 be
treated?

(a) Recognize it in the financial statements for 20X1-20X2 by deducting

it from the cost of the generator.

(b) Recognize it as deferred income for the financial year 20X2-20X3.

(c) Treat it as a prior period item in the financial year 20X2-20X3.

(d) Disclose it as a contingent asset in the notes for 20X1-20X2.

ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. Option (c) Deduct it from the cost of the generator in the financial year
20X2-20X3.
Reason:
As per AS 12, a grant can only be recognized when there is reasonable
assurance of compliance with conditions and receipt of the subsidy. Since
the subsidy was sanctioned after 31st March, 20X2, and after accounts for
20X1-20X2 were approved, it cannot be treated as an adjusting event for
20X1-20X2. It must be accounted for in 20X2-20X3 by deducting it from
the cost of the generator.
2. Option (a) Recognize it in the financial statements for 20X1-20X2 by
deducting it from the cost of the generator.
Reason:
As per AS 4, events occurring after the balance sheet date but before
approval of accounts by the Board of Directors are adjusting events if they
confirm conditions existing at the balance sheet date. Receipt of the
sanction letter confirms the condition that the subsidy application was
valid, and hence, the subsidy should be adjusted in the financial
statements for 20X1-20X2.
 CASE SCENARIOS 75

3. Option (a) Recognize it in the financial statements for 20X1-20X2 by

deducting it from the cost of the generator.

Reason:
If the company has consistently received subsidies for similar applications
in the past, there is reasonable assurance as required by AS 12. In such
cases, the subsidy should have been recognized in the financial
statements for 20X1-20X2, as the past pattern provides assurance of
receipt.

CASE SCENARIO 26

A company is engaged in refining, transportation, and marketing of petroleum

products. During the financial year ended 31st March, 20X1, it acquired a
controlling interest in another public sector undertaking from the Government
of India at ` 1,551 per share. The book value and market value of the shares as
of 18th February, 20X1, were ` 192.58 and ` 876 per share, respectively. The
company paid a strategic premium of ` 675 per share due to various tangible
and intangible factors.
The company classified the acquired shares as long-term strategic investments
and accounted for them at cost, i.e., ` 1,551 per share, in its financial statements.
No provision for diminution in value was made. However, Schedule III of the
Companies Act, 2013, requires the aggregate market value of quoted shares to
be disclosed, and this has been reflected.
On 28th March, 20X1, the market price of the acquired shares was ` 880 per
share. By 18th July, the price had dropped to ` 300. Management believes that
the decline in value is not permanent, given the strategic and synergy benefits
expected, and hence, no provision for diminution has been made.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. Is the accounting treatment of recording the investment 'at cost' without

providing for diminution correct as per AS 13?
(a) Yes, as the investment is classified as long-term.
(b) Yes, provided the decline in value is not other than temporary.
(c) No, the market value must always be considered for long-term
investments.
(d) No, a provision for diminution must be made regardless of the cause
of decline.
2. How should the company assess whether the decline in market value is
other than temporary?
(a) Based solely on the market price on the balance sheet date.
 CASE SCENARIOS 77

(b) Based on a comparison of the market price with the book value of
the shares.
(c) By considering all relevant factors, such as the financial health of the
investee and expected benefits.
(d) By applying a uniform threshold for decline across all investments.
3. If a provision for diminution in value is required, how should it be treated
in the financial statements?
(a) As a charge to the profit and loss account.
(b) As deferred expenditure amortized over five years.
(c) Directly adjusted against the investment account.
(d) As a disclosure note without impacting the financial statements.
4. Can the premium paid for strategic benefits be accounted for separately
from the cost of investment?
(a) Yes, it should be recorded as a separate intangible asset.`
(b) Yes, it can be disclosed as goodwill in the balance sheet.
(c) No, it must be included in the cost of investment as per AS 13.
(d) No, it must be expensed immediately in the profit and loss account.

ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. Option (b) Yes, provided the decline in value is not other than temporary.
Reason:
As per AS 13, long-term investments are recorded at cost unless there is
a decline other than temporary in their value. If the management can
substantiate that the decline in market value is temporary, there is no
need to create a provision for diminution.
2. Option (c) By considering all relevant factors, such as the financial health
of the investee and expected benefits.
Reason:

Per paragraph 17 of AS 13, the company must consider all relevant

factors, such as the financial and operational performance of the investee,
78 ADVANCED ACCOUNTING

the expected benefits from the investment, and external economic

conditions, to assess whether the decline is other than temporary.

3. Option (a) As a charge to the profit and loss account.

Reason:
AS 13 requires that any provision for diminution in the value of
investments be charged to the profit and loss account. It cannot be
treated as deferred expenditure or amortized over future periods.
4. Option (c) No, it must be included in the cost of investment as per AS 13.

Reason:
As per AS 13, long-term investments are recorded at cost, which includes
any premium paid. There is no provision in AS 13 to account for the
premium separately, even if it is paid for strategic benefits.

(d) Record it separately as deferred expenditure.

ANSWERS TO MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

1. Option (d) `6.20 crore

Reason:
The total revenue includes the fixed price (` 5 crore) plus adjustments for
material and labour cost escalations and the early completion incentive:
 CASE SCENARIOS 81

♦ Fixed Price: ` 5 crore

♦ Material Cost Recovery: (to the extent of) 20% = ` 0.40 crore
♦ Labour costs recovery (Actual increase is less than 30%) (1.20 crore
x 25%) = ` 0.30 crore
♦ Early Completion Incentive: ` 0.50 crore
♦ Total: ` 6.20 crore
2. Option (b) Recognize as revenue progressively since the completion date
is predictable.
Reason:
As per AS 7 Construction Contracts, incentives for early completion can
be recognized as revenue when the company has sufficient evidence of
achieving the performance condition (completion in less than 2 years and
10 months). Since Sigma reasonably estimated early completion,
progressive recognition is appropriate.
3. Option (c) ` 7.40 crore
Reason:
The total revenue includes the base contract revenue and adjustments for
additional scope and recoverable claims:
• Base Revenue: ` 6.20 crore
• Variation for Additional Floor: ` 1 crore
• Claims for Local Authority Approvals: ` 20 lakh
• Total: ` 7.40 crore
4. Option (c) Include it as a claim recoverable from Alpha Developers.
Reason:
The ` 20 lakh spent for approvals is recoverable as per the contract terms,
so it should be accounted as a claim receivable and added to the total
contract revenue.
