deemed to be wages in respect of services rendered to the company during that
period.
Explanations: For the purposes of this section,
• Accrued Holiday Remuneration includes, in relation to any person, all sums
which, by virtue either of his contract of employment or of any enactment

Effect of Floating Charge [Section 332]
Where a company is being wound up, a floating charge on the undertaking or property
of the company created within the 12 months immediately preceding the
commencement of the winding up, should be invalid unless it is proved that the
company immediately after the creation of the charge was solvent except for the
amount of any cash paid to the company at the time of and in consideration for or
subsequent to the creation of the charge together with interest on that amount at the
rate of 5 per cent per annum or such other rate as may be notified by the Central
Government in this behalf.
B List Contributories
(a) Persons: Shareholders who had transferred Partly Paid Shares (otherwise than by
operation of law or by death) within one year, prior to the date of winding up may be

(b) Liability: Their liability is restricted to the amount not called up when the shares were
transferred. They cannot be called upon to pay more than the entire face value of the
share. For example, if Shares having Face Value ` 100 were paid up ` 60, the B List
Contributory can be called up to pay a maximum of ` 40 only.

17. (a) According to AS 4 on ‘Contingencies and Events Occurring after the Balance Sheet
Date’, adjustments to assets and liabilities are required for events occurring after the
balance sheet date that provide additional information materially affecting the
determination of the amounts relating to conditions existing at the balance sheet date.
However, adjustments to assets and liabilities are not appropriate for events occurring
after the balance sheet date, if such events do not relate to conditions existing at the
balance sheet date. “Contingencies” used in the Standard is restricted to conditions
or situations at the balance sheet date, the financial effect of which is to be
determined by future events which may or may not occur.
(i) Fire has occurred after the balance sheet date and also the loss is totally
insured. Therefore, the event becomes immaterial and the event is non-
adjusting in nature.
(ii) The contingency is restricted to conditions existing at the balance sheet date.
However, in the given case, suit was filed against the company’s advertisement
by a party on 10 th April for amount of ` 20 lakhs. Therefore, it does not fit into
the definition of a contingency and hence is a non-adjusting event.
(b) As per para 31 of AS 5 ‘Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and
Changes in Accounting Policies’, the adoption of an accounting policy for events or
transactions that differ in substance from previously occurring events or transactions,
will not be considered as a change in accounting policy.
(i) Accordingly, introduction of a formal retirement gratuity scheme by an employer
in place of ad hoc ex-gratia payments to employees on retirement is not a
change in an accounting policy.
(ii) Similarly, the adoption of a new accounting policy for events or transactions
which did not occur previously or that were immaterial will not be treated as a
change in an accounting policy
18. (a) (i) 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.
(ii) 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.
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.
(iii) ` 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.
19. (a) According to 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.
It also 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.
Thus, eligible borrowing cost
= ` 12,00,000 – ` 3,00,000
= ` 9,00,000
(b) As per AS 19 “Leases”, the lessee should recognize the lease as an asset and a
liability at the inception of a finance lease. Such recognition should be at an amount
equal to the fair value of the leased asset at the inception of lease. However, if the
fair value of the leased asset exceeds the present value of minimum lease payment
from the standpoint of the lessee, the amount recorded as an asset and liability should
be the present value of minimum lease payments from the standpoint of the lessee.
Value of machinery
In the given case, fair value of the machinery is ` 10, 00,000 and the net present
value of minimum lease payments is ` 10, 07,020 (Refer working Note). As the
present value of the machine is more than the fair value of the machine, the machine
and the corresponding liability will be recorded at value of `10,00,000.

In the first three years, the patent cost will be amortized in the ratio of estimated future
cash flows i.e. (600: 600: 600: 300: 300).
The unamortized amount of the patent after third year will be ` 300 lakh (1,200-900)
which will be amortized in the ratio of revised estimated future cash flows
(300:300:150) in the fourth, fifth and sixth year.
(b) (i) The construction of the oil rig creates an obligation under the terms of the license
to remove the rig and restore the seabed and is thus an obligating event. At the
balance sheet date, however, there is no obligation to rectify the damage that
will be caused by extraction of the oil. An outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits in settlement is probable. Thus, a provision is recognized for
the best estimate of ninety per cent of the eventual costs that relate to the
removal of the oil rig and restoration of damage caused by building it. These
costs are included as part of the cost of the oil rig. However, there is no
obligation to rectify the damage that will be caused by extraction of oil, as no oil
has been extracted at the balance sheet date. So, no provision is required for
the cost of extraction of oil at balance sheet date.
Ten per cent of costs that arise through the extraction of oil are recognized as
a liability when the oil is extracted.
(ii) As per AS 29, for a liability to qualify for recognition there must be not only a
present obligation but also the probability of an outflow of resources embodying
economic benefits to settle that obligation.
The obligating event is the giving of the guarantee by Ace Ltd. for certain
borrowings of Brew Ltd., which gives rise to an obligation. No outflow of benefits
is probable at 31 March 2019.Thus no provision is recognized. The guarantee is
disclosed as a contingent liability unless the probability of any outflow is
regarded as remote.
During 2019-20, the financial condition of Brew Ltd. deteriorates and finally goes
into liquidation. The obligating event is the giving of the guarantee, which gives
rise to a legal obligation. At 31 March 2020, it is probable that an outflow of
resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
Thus, provision is recognized for the best estimate of the obligation.
