` 2,00,000 on Title Guarantee Insurance. Compute the value of land acquired. 6

(c) State briefly the factors which should be considered while selecting pre-packaged
accounting software. 6

Answer:

3. (a) As illustrated in AS 9 'Revenue Recognition', revenue received or billed should be

deferred and recognised either on a straight line basis over time or, where the items
delivered vary in value from period to period, revenue should be based on the sales
value of the item delivered in relation to the total sales value of all items covered by
the subscription. Accordingly, in the given case the accounting treatment adopted
by Khetan Ltd. to treat the entire amount as revenue for the current year is not in
accordance with AS 9. The revenue should be recognized on a straight line basis over
the period of 3 years.

`18,60,000 = ` 21,05,000, Cash Received ` 21,05,000 × (70/100) = ` 14,73,500.

8. Write short notes on any three of the following: 5×3=15

(a) The Accrual Concept
(b) Weaknesses of Single Entry System
(c) Advantages of Accounting Standard
(d) Treatment of Abnormal Loss in case of Consignment Account.

Answer:

8. (a) The Accrual Concept

The accrual concept is based on recognition of both cash and credit transactions. In
case of a cash transaction, owner's equity is instantly affected as cash either is
received or paid. In a credit transaction, however, a mere obligation towards or by
the business is created. When credit transactions exist (which is generally the case),
revenues are not the same as cash receipts and expenses are not same as cash paid
during the period.
When goods are sold on credit as per normally accepted trade practices, the
business gets the legal right to claim the money from the customer. Acquiring such
right to claim the consideration for sale of goods or services is called accrual of
revenue. The actual collection of money from customer could be at a later date.

Similarly, when the business procures goods or services with the agreement that the
payment will be made at a future date, it does not mean that the expense effect
should not be recognized. Because an obligation to pay for goods or services is
created upon the procurement thereof, the expense effect also must be recognized.

Today's accounting systems based on accrual concept are called as Accrual System
or Mercantile System of Accounting.

(b) Weakness of single entry system

(i) As principle of double entry is not followed, the trial balance cannot be prepared.
As such, arithmetical accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
(ii) Profit or loss can be found out only by estimates as nominal accounts are not
maintained.
(iii) It is not possible to make a balance sheet in absence of real accounts, d] It is very
difficult to detect frauds or errors.
(iv) Valuation of assets and liabilities is not proper.
(v) The external agencies like banks cannot use financial information. A bank cannot
decide whether to lend money or not.
(vi) It is quite likely that the business and personal transactions of the proprietor get
mixed.

(c) Advantages of Accounting Standard

(i) If provides the accountancy profession with useful working rules.
(ii) It assists in improving quality of work performed by accountant.
(iii) It strengthens the accountant's resistance against the pressure from directors to
use accounting policy which may be suspected in that situation in which they
perform their work.
(iv) It ensures the various users of financial statements to get complete crystal
information on more consistent basis from period to period.

Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 11
 12
Suggested Answers_Syllabus 2016_Jun2017_Paper 5
(v) It helps the users compare the financial statements of two or more organisaitons
engaged in same type of business operation.

(d) Abnormal Losses- Abnormal Losses arises as a result of negligence/accident etc.,

e.g., theft, fire etc. Before ascertaining the result of the consignment, value of
abnormal loss should be adjusted. The method of calculation is similar to the method
of calculating unsold stock. Sometimes insurance company admits the claim in part
or in full. The same should also be adjusted against such abnormal loss.
While valuing the abnormal loss the proportionate expenses are taken only upto the
stage of the loss. For example, if goods are lost in the transit on way to the
consignee's place, the value of abnormal loss will include the basic cost of the goods
plus proportionate expenses of the consignor only and not the proportionate
expenses of consignee because consignee has spent nothing on account of these
goods.

(ii) For the insurance claim due / received by the consignor -

regular losses incurred by the firm?
(iv) At the time of dissolution of Partnership Firm realisation expenses amounted to
` 3,000 paid by Nisha, a partner who was to bear these expenses. What entry is
required in the Books of the firm? 4

Answer:

(a) (i) Although legal title has not been transferred, the economic reality and substance
is that the rights and beneficial interest in the immovable property have been
transferred. Therefore, recording of acquisition/disposal (by the transferee transferor
respectively) would, in substance, represent the purchase/sale. In view of this A Ltd.,
should record the sales and recognize the profit of `15 lakhs in its Profit and Loss
Account. It should eliminate building from its balance sheet. In notes to accounts, it
should disclose that building has been sold, full consideration has been received,
possession has been handed over to the buyer and documentation and legal
formalities are pending.

DoS, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 8
 21
Suggested Answer_Syl16_Dec2017_Paper 5

The buyer should recognize the building as an asset in his balance sheet and charge
depreciation on it. The buyer should disclose in his notes to account that possession
has been received however documentation and legal formalities are pending.

(ii) As per para 5 of 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 ` 5 lakhs. The net realizable value is ` 4.95 lakhs (`
5.5 lakhs less cost to make the sale @ 10% of ` 5.5 lakhs). So, the closing stock should
be valued at ` 4.95 lakhs.

` 2,000 & outstanding Liability was

(c) (i) Goodwill is not a fictitious asset because it has a realisable value. It is an
intangible asset because it cannot be seen and touched.
(ii) Nil. There is no excess amount in the Investment Fluctuation Reserve Account as
the fall in the value of the investment is equal to the reserve.
(iii) When partners maintain Fixed Capital Account, all adjustments including share of
profit or loss is shown in their Current Account. Hence, the Capital Account of the
partners will not be disturbed and this will not show a debit balance in spite of
regular losses.
(iv) No entry is required as the expenses are to be borne by the partners.

2. Computation of Gross Profit Ratio

We are informed that the GP Ratio is the same for all departments. Selling Price is
given for each department's products but the Sale Quantity is different from that
of Purchase Quantity. To find the Uniform GP Rate, the sale value of Purchase
Quantity should be compared with the Total Cost of Purchase, as under.
Assuming all purchases are sold, the sale proceeds would be
Department X 1,000 Units @ ` 20.00 20,000
Department Y 2,000 Units @ ` 22.50 45,000
Department Z 2,400 Units @ ` 25.00 60,000
Total Sale Value of Purchase 125,000
Quantity
Less : Cost of Purchase 1,00,000
Gross Profit Amount 25,000

Gross profit Ratio 25,000 ÷ 1,25,000 20% of Selling Price

3. Computation of Profit and Cost for each article

Department Selling Price Profit at 1/5 of SP Cost = Sales - Profit
Department x ` 20.00 1/5 of ` 20.00 = 4.00 ` 16.00
Department Y ` 22.50 1/5 of ` 22.50 = 4.50 `18.00

Answer:
Rate of Interest 10 1
(a) Ratio of interest and amount due = 100 +Rate of Interest = 110 = 11

There is no interest element in the down payment as it is paid on the date of the
transaction. Installments paid after certain period includes interest portion also.
Therefore, to ascertain cash price, interest will be calculated from last installment to
first installment as follows:

Calculation of Interest and Cash Price

No. of Amount due at the Interest Cumulative
installments time of installment cash price
` `
[1] [2] [3] [2 - 3] = [4]
3rd 4,40,000 1/11 of ` 4,40,000 = ` 40,000 4,00,000
2nd 8,40,000 1/11 of ` 8,40,000 = ` 76,364 7,63,636
1st 12,03,636 1/11of `12,03,636 = ` 1,09,421 10,94,215

Total cash price = ` 10,94,215 + 4,80,000 (down payment) = ` 15,74,215.

7. (a) The premises of X Ltd. caught fire on 22nd January, 2015 and the stock was damaged.
The value of goods salvaged was negligible. The firm made up accounts to 31st
March each year. On 31st March, 2014 the stock at cost was `13,27,200 as against
`9,62,200 on 31st March, 2013.

Purchases from 1st April, 2014 to the date of fire were ` 34,82,700 as against `45,25,000
for the full year 2013-2014 and the corresponding sales figures were `49,17,000 and

You are given the following further information:

(i) In July, 2014, goods costing `1,00,000 were given away for advertising purposes, no
entries being made in the books.
(ii) The rate of gross profit is constant.

(a) Objectives of Accounting
(b) Methods/Criteria to the selection and application of Accounting policies
(c) Difference between sale and consignment
(d) Criticism of the decision of Garner vs. Murray
Answer:
(a) Objectives of Accounting
The main objective of Accounting is to provide financial information to stakeholders.
This financial information is normally given via financial statements, which are
prepared on the basis of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). There
are various accounting standards developed by professional accounting bodies all
over the world. In India, these are governed by The Institute of Chartered Accountants

DoS, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 14
 27
Suggested Answer_Syl16_Dec2017_Paper 5

of India, (ICAI). In the US, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) is responsible to lay down the standards. The Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) is the body that sets up the International Accounting Standards. These
standards basically deal with accounting treatment of business transactions and
disclosing the same in financial statement:
The following objectives of accounting will explain the width of the application of this
knowledge stream:
(a) To ascertain the amount of profit or loss made by the business i.e. to compare the
income earned versus the expenses incurred and the net result thereof.
(b) To know the financial position of the business i.e. to assess what the business owns
and what it owes.
(c) To provide a record for compliance with statutes and laws applicable.
(d) To enable the readers to assess progress made by the business over a period of
time.
(e) To disclose information needed by different stakeholders.

(b) The major considerations governing the selection and application of accounting
policies are:
Prudence - Generally maker of financial statement has to face uncertainties at the
time of preparation of financial statement, these uncertainties may be regarding
collectability of recoverable, number of warranty claims that may occur. Prudence
means making of estimates that are required under conditions of uncertainty.
Substance over form - It means that transaction should be accounted for in
accordance with actual happening and economic reality of the transactions not by
its legal form.
Materiality - Financial Statement should disclose all the items and facts which are
sufficient enough to influence the decisions of reader or/user of financial statement.

(c) Difference between Sale and Consignment

1. In sale the property in goods is transferred to The buyer immediately whereas in
consignment the property transferred to the buyer only when goods are sold by
the consignee. The ownership of goods remains with the consignor when goods
are transferred to the consignee by the consignor.
2. In sale, the risk attaching to the goods passes with ownership to the buyer, in case
of a consignment, the risk attaching to the goods does not pass to the consignee
who acts as a mere agent. If there is any damage or loss to the goods it is borne
by the consignor provided the consignee has taken reasonable care of the
goods and the damage or loss is not due to his negligence.
3. The relationship of consignor and consignee is that of a principal and an agent as
in a contract of agency whereas the relationship of buyer and seller is governed
by the Sale of Goods Act.
4. Unsold goods on consignment are the property of the consignor and may be
returned if not saleable in the market whereas goods sold on sale basis are
normally not returnable unless there is some defect in them.

(d) Criticism of the decision of Garner vs. Murray

The following criticism may be advocated against the decisions laid down in Garner
vs. Murray principle:
(i) If any solvent partner has a debit balance in capital account, he must not bear
the deficiency of the insolvent partner;
(ii) This principle does not apply if there are only two partners;

DoS, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 15
 28
Suggested Answer_Syl16_Dec2017_Paper 5

(iii) In spite of having a credit balance in capital account the solvent partner must
bring cash equal to the amount of loss on reasilation which is immaterial and
useless; and
(iv) If any solvent partner who possess more private asset but contributes less capital,
he will naturally, as per Garner vs. Murray decision, bear less amount of deficiency
of the insolvent partner than the other solvent partner who possess less private
assets but contributes more capital to the firm. This is not justified.

B's capital is taken as base. Closing capital of B after all adjustments is 4,30,000.
Total capital of firm will be = 4,30,000 × 7/2 = 15,05,000
Hence, P's and Q's closing capital should be ` 2,15,000 (15,05,000 x 1/7) each i.e. at

7. (a) (i) (A) X sells goods to Y for ` 2,00,000. Instead of one bill of ` 2,00,000, X draws three
bills of exchange on Y for ` 40,000; ` 60,000 and ` 1,00,000. What is the value
involved in drawing three bills instead of one?
(B) Sunny draws a bill on Vivek for three months. On the due date, Vivek finds
himself in financial difficulties and requests Sunny to renew the bill for a further
period of one month. Sunny agrees to his request. What is the virtue involved in
renewing the bill?
(C) What is the value involved in accepting an accommodation bill?
(D) What is the reason that a drawer cannot file a suit against drawee in case of
dishonour of an accommodation bill? 1x4=4

(ii) Raj Ltd. entered into an agreement with Heena Ltd. to dispatch goods valuing
` 5,00,000 every month for next 6 months on receipt of entire payment. Heena Ltd.
accordingly made the entire payment of ` 30,00,000 and Raj Ltd. started
dispatching the goods. In fourth month, due to fire in premises of Heena Ltd.,
Heena Ltd. requested to Raj Ltd. not to dispatch goods worth ` 15,00,000 ready for
dispatch. Raj Ltd. accounted ` 15,00,000 as sales and transferred the balance to
Advance received against Sales account.

It is estimated that 2% of the goods received are lost through natural wastage. 6
Answer:
7. (a) (i) (A) Any of three bills may be put to different uses i.e., any of the bill may either be
discounted, endorsed or kept till the date of maturity. For example, if X is in
need of ` 30,000 he may get only the first bill discounted from the bank.
(B) Virtue involved is the expression of morality and humanism towards a fellow
businessman by helping him in case of need.
(C) Value involved in accepting an accommodation bill is helping a friend who is
temporarily in need of money.

(D) Because accommodation bills are drawn without consideration.

(ii) As per AS 9 "Revenue Recognition", in a transaction involving the sale of goods,
performance should be regarded as being achieved when the following
conditions are fulfilled:
(i) the seller of goods has transferred to the buyer the property in the goods for a
price or all significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to
the buyer and the seller retains no effective control of the goods transferred
to a degree usually associated with ownership; and
(ii) no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration
that will be derived from the sale of the goods.
In the given case, transfer of property in goods results in or coincides with the
transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Also, the sale
price has been recovered by the seller. Hence, the sale is complete but delivery
has been postponed at buyer's request. Raj Ltd. should recognize the entire sale
of ` 30,00,000 (` 5,00,000 × 6) and no part of the same is to be treated as
Advance Received against Sales.

(a) Operating cycle of Consignment Arrangement.
(b) Disadvantages of a Computerized Accounting Package.
(c) Features of Single Entry System.
(d) Bearer Plant.
Answer:

8. (a) Operating Cycle of Consignment Arrangement:

(i) Goods are sent by consignor to the consignee.
(ii) Consignee may pay some advance or accept a bill of exchange.
(iii) Consignee will incur expenses for selling the goods.
(iv) Consignee maintains records of all cash and credit sale.
(v) Consignee prepares a summary of results called as Account sales.
(vi) Consignor pays commission to the consignee.
Sometimes, the consignor may send the goods at a price higher than cost so that the
consignee gets no knowledge of the real cost of goods which is confidential for the
consignor.

Suggested Answers_Syl2016_June2018_Paper 5

(b) Disadvantages of a Computerized Accounting Package:

1. A standard package may not be able to take care of complexities of a specific
business.
2. The reports required for existing management control may not be available in
such package.
3. Lack of security.
4. Requirement specifications are incomplete or ambiguous resulting in a defective
or incomplete system.
5. Bugs may remain in the software because of inadequate testing.
6. Documentation may not be completed.
7. Frequent changes made to the system with inadequate change management
procedure may result in system compromise.
8. Vendor may not be unwilling to give support of the software due to other
commitments.
9. Vendor may not be willing to part with the source code or enter into an escrow
agreement.
10. Control measures may be inadequate.
11. There may be delay in completion of the software due to problems with the vendor
or inadequate project management.

(c) Single Entry System has the following features:

(a) Maintenance of books by a sole trader or partnership firm: The books which are
maintained according to this system can be kept only by a sole trader or by a
partnership firm.
(b) Maintenance of cash book: In this system it is very often to keep one cash book
which mixes up business as well as private transactions.
(c) Only personal accounts are kept: In this system, it is very common to keep only
personal accounts and to avoid real and nominal accounts. Therefore, sometimes,
this is precisely defined as a system where only personal accounts are kept.
(d) Collection of information from original documents: For information one has to
depend on original vouchers, example, in the case of credit sales, the proprietor
may keep the invoice without recording it anywhere and at the end of the year
the total of the invoices gives an idea of total credit sales of the business.
(e) Lack of uniformity: It lacks uniformity as it is a mere adjustment of double entry
system according to the convenience of the person.
(f) Difficulty in preparation of final accounts: It is much difficult to prepare trading,
profit and loss account and balance sheet due to the absence of nominal and
real accounts in the ledger.

(d) Bearer plant is a plant that

(a) is used in the production or supply of agricultural produce;
(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.
The following are not bearer plants:
(i) plants cultivated to be harvested as agricultural produce;
(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;
(iii) annual crops.

Working Notes:
(1) Calculation of B's share in Goodwill:
Average of past four years profits = (Rs.135 Lakh + Rs.145 Lakh + Rs.131 Lakh + Rs.165
Lakh)/4 = Rs. 144 Lakh
Value of Firm's Goodwill = Rs.144 Lakh × 3 = Rs.432 Lakh
B's Share in Goodwill = Rs.432 Lakh × 2/6 = Rs. 144 Lakh, which will be credited to B's
Capital A/c and Debited to A's Capital A/c & C's Capital A/c in the ratio of 3:1
(2) B's Share in profit from 01.04.18 to 1.8.18 =( Rs.165 × 4/12)× 2/6 = Rs.18.333 Lakh
(3) Interest on B's Loan from 01.04.18 to 1.8.18 = Rs.20 Lakh × 6% × 4/12 = Rs.40000
(4) Interest to B's Executor from 1.08.18 to 1.12.18 = Rs.356.066 Lakh – Rs.50 Lakh = Rs.
306.066 × 10% × 4/12 = Rs.10.2022 Lakh

7. (a) In a production process, normal waste is 5% of input. 5000 MT of input were put in
process resulting in a wastage of 300 MT. Cost per MT of input is Rs. 1,900. The entire
quantity of waste is on stock at the year end. State with reference to Accounting
standard, the treatment of normal loss and abnormal loss and also find out the
amount of abnormal loss, if any and the value of closing inventories. 8

(b) Enumerate the advantages of computerized Accounting. 7

Answer: 7(a)

1. Normal Loss Qty = 5% of 5,000 MT = 250 MT

Treatment: No entry is passed for normal loss. However, normal loss increases the

Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament)
Page 15
 60
Suggested Answer_Syl16_Dec2018_Paper_5
cost per good unit
2. Cost of Good units = Total Cost/(Total Qty - Normal Loss Qty) = (5000 × Rs.1,900
)/(5000 - 250) = Rs. 2,000
3. Abnormal Loss Qty = Total Loss - Normal Loss = 300 MT - 5% of 5,000 MT = 50 MT
4. Cost of Abnormal Loss = 50MT × Rs.2,000 = Rs. 1,00,000
5. Treatment: As per AS 2, abnormal amounts of waste 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.. Hence, the Cost
of Abnormal Loss of Rs. 1,00,000 should be charged to Profit & Loss A/c.
6. Closing Inventory Qty = 5,000 MT - 250 MT - 50 MT = 4,700 MT
Cost of Closing Inventory =4,700 MT × Rs. 2,000 = Rs.94,00,000

(ii) Consequential Loss Policy
(iii) Distinction between Hire Purchase Agreement and Instalment Purchase Agreement
(iv) Distinction between Fundamental accounting assumptions and Accounting
policies

Answer: 8 (a)
In the case of dissolution of a partnership firm due to insolvency, Garner vs Murray rule is
applicable at the time of any partner becoming insolvent. It requires—
1. That the solvent partners should bear the loss arising due to insolvency of a partner in
their capital ratio after making adjustments for past accumulated reserves, profits or
losses, drawings, interest on drawings/capitals, remuneration to partners etc., to the
date of dissolution but before making adjustment for profit or loss on realization in case
of fluctuating capital. In case of fixed capital no such adjustments are required.
2. That the solvent partners should bring in cash equal to their respective shares of the
loss on realization.
Non-Applicability: This rule is not applicable when:
1. the solvent partner has a debit balance in the capital account.
2. only one partner is solvent.
3. all partners are insolvent.

insolvency of a partner, then the conditions given in the deed would prevail.
Answer: 8 (b)
Business enterprises get insured against the loss of stock on the happening of certain
events such as fire, flood, theft, earthquake etc. Insurance being a contract of
indemnity, the claim for loss is restricted to the actual loss of assets. Sometimes an
enterprise also gets itself insured against consequential loss of profit due to decreased
turnover, increased expenses etc.
If loss of profits consequent to the event or mis-happening (Fire, flood, theft etc.) is also
insured, the policy is known as loss of profit or consequential loss policy.
The Loss of Profit Policy normally covers the following items:
(i) Loss of net profit
(ii) Standing charges.
(iii) Any increased cost of working e.g., renting of temporary premises.

is correct. Mr. Kanan's true income is in excess of the disclosed income by ` 4,30,000.

 Closing capital was reduced due to withdrawal by proprietor; so it is added back.

7. (a) An infrastructure company has constructed a mall and entered into agreement with
tenants towards license fee (monthly rental) and variable license fee, a percentage
on the turnover of the tenant (on an annual basis). Chief Finance Officer wants to
account / recognize license fee as income for 12 months during current year under
audit and variable license fee as income during next year, since invoice is raised in
the subsequent year. Comment whether the treatment desired by the CFO is correct
or not. 6

(b) State briefly the factors to be considered while selecting pre-packaged accounting
software. 6

(c) From the following particulars ascertain the value of unsold stock on Consignment. 3
Goods sent (1000 kgs.) ` 20,000
Consignor's expenses ` 4,000
Consignees non-recurring expenses ` 3,000
Sold (800 kgs.) ` 40,000
Loss due to natural wastage (100 kgs.)

Answer:

7. (a) AS 9 on Revenue Recognition, is mainly concerned with the timing of recognition

of revenue in the Statement of Profit and Loss of an enterprise. The amount of
revenue arising on a transaction is usually determined by agreement between the
parties involved in the transaction. However, when uncertainties exist regarding the
determination of the amount, or its associated costs, these uncertainties may
influence the timing of revenue recognition.

Further, as per accrual concept of fundamental accounting assumptions given in AS

1 "Disclosure of Accounting Policies", revenue should be recognised as and when it is
accrued i.e. recorded in the financial statements of the periods to which they relate.

In the present case, monthly rental towards licence fee and variable licence fee as a
percentage on the turnover of the tenant though on annual basis is the income
related to common financial year. Therefore, recognising the fee as revenue cannot
be deferred simply because the invoice is raised in subsequent period. Hence it
should be recognised in the financial year of accrual.

Therefore, the contention of the Chief Financial Officer is not in accordance with AS
9.

(b) Factors to be considered while selecting pre-packaged accounting software

1. Fulfillment of Business Requirements: The purchaser should ensure whether the
available software meets all the business requirements.
2. Completeness of Reports: The purchaser should ensure whether the available
software can provide all the reports required by business.
3. Ease of Use: The purchaser should ensure whether the available software is easy
to operate.
4. Cost: The software should not involve very high installation and running cost.
5. Reputation of the vendor: It should be ensured whether the vendor has good

DoS, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 18
 81
Suggested Answers_Syl2016_June 2019_Paper 5

reputation and good track records or not.

6. Regular updates: It should be ensured whether the vendor is prepared to give
updates.

(c) Value of Unsold Stocks

`
Total cost of goods sent 20,000
Add: Consignor’s expenses 4,000
Add: Non-recurring expenses 3,000
Cost of (1,000 Kgs – 100 Kgs) = 900 Kgs 27,000

 Value of unsold stock (1,000 – 800 – 100) = 100 Kgs. will be = 27,000 × (100 Kgs. /
900 Kgs.) = ` 3,000.

8. Write short notes on any three of the following: 5×3=15

(a) The Accrual concept.
(b) Provision for Discount on Debtors
(c) Features of Income and Expenditure Account
(d) Maximum Possible Loss Method

Answer:

8. (a) The Accrual Concept:

The accrual concept is based on recognition of both cash and credit transactions. In
case of a cash transaction, owner's equity is instantly affected as cash either is
received or paid. In a credit transaction, however, a mere obligation towards or by
the business is created. When credit transactions exist (which is generally the case),
revenues are not the same as cash receipts and expenses are not same as cash paid
during the period. When goods are sold on credit as per normally accepted trade
practices, the business gets the legal right to claim the money from the customer.
Acquiring such right to claim the consideration for sale of goods or services is called
accrual of revenue. The actual collection of money from customer could be at a
later date. Similarly, when the business procures goods or services with the agreement
that the payment will be made at a future date, it does not mean that the effect of
expense should not be recognized. Because an obligation to pay for goods or
services is created upon the procurement thereof, the expense effect also must be
recognized. Today's accounting systems based on accrual concept are called as
Accrual System or Mercantile System of Accounting.

(b) Provision for Discount On Debtors:

We know that Cash discount is allowed by the suppliers to customer for prompt
settlement of cash. Naturally a provision is created for this purpose. Thus, the provision
which is created on Sundry Debtors for allowing discount on receipt of Cash in that
accounting period is called Provision for Discount on Debtors. It is needless to say that

DoS, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 19
 82
Suggested Answers_Syl2016_June 2019_Paper 5

if the customer pays their debts before the due dates, they may claim discounts and
that is why discount is allowed to debtors for prompt settlement is an usual practice.
Where goods are sold on credit, debtors accounts are debited but the amount may
not be realized in this same accounting periods. Naturally, a possible aim is to allow
discount whether cash is received. The same will happen in the next accounting
period. Due to this reason a provision for discount on debtors is made on the basis of
past experience at an estimate rate on Sundry Debtors. Care should be taken while
calculating discount. Discount should be calculated at a specified rate on of debtors
(i.e. after discounting bad debts and provision for bad debts).

(c) Features of Income and Expenditure Account:

1. It follows Nominal Account.

2. All expenses of revenue nature for the particular period are debited to this
Account on accrual basis.
3. Similarly all revenue incomes related to the particular period are credited to this
account on accrual basis.
4. All Capital Incomes and Expenditures are excluded.
5. Only current year's incomes and expenses are recorded. Amounts related to
other periods are deducted. Amounts outstanding for the current year are
added.
6. Profit on Sale of Asset is credited. Loss on Sale of Asset is debited. Annual
Depreciation on Assets is also debited.
7. If income is more than expenditure, it is called a Surplus, and is added with
Capital or General Fund etc. in the Balance Sheet.
8. If expenditure is more than income, it is a deficit, and is deducted from Capital or
General Fund etc. in the Balance Sheet.

(d) Maximum Possible Loss Method:

Steps:
(1) Prepare a statement showing distribution of cash
(2) Pay off the external Liabilities
(3) After all the payment is made for the external liabilities, the partners will be paid
off.
Total Due of Partners xxx
Less : Net/Balance of Realisation (x)
Maximum Loss xxx
(4) The maximum loss shall be shared amongst the partners in their profit sharing ratio,
as if, there will be no further realisation.
(5) If any of the partner capitals, after step (4) is negative, that partner shall be
treated like an insolvent partner.
(6) The deficiency of the insolvent partner as per step (5) shall be shared by the other
solvent partners (i.e. those partners who has positive capital balances) in their
capital contribution ratio as per Garner vs. Murray Rule.
(7) Repeat the steps (3) to (6) till final realisation.

accrued expenses of a definite accounting period.
(iii) False : Depreciation is non-cash but operating expense which is to be
provided for whether there are profits/losses.
(iv) False : Net profit may not be reflected in higher cash balance because of

of fresh loan or fresh capital. Net Worth may also be reduced by

7. (a) Briefly explain the objectives and applicability of Accounting Standard for
Construction Contracts (AS-7). Describe the basic principles of recognition of
revenue and expenses as per AS-7. 8

(b) What do you mean by 'Customised Accounting Software'? Discuss its advantages. 7

Answer:

7. (a) Objective of AS-7 :

Accounting for long-term construction contracts involves question as to when
revenue should be recognized and how to measure the revenue in the books of
contractor. The primary objective of this AS is the allocation of 'contract revenue' and
'contract cost' to the accounting period in which construction work is performed.

DoS, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 17
 100
Suggested Answers_Syl2016_December 2019_Paper 5

Applicability of AS-7:
This Standard is applicable in accounting for construction contracts in contractor's
financial statements. In other words the AS does not apply to customer (Contractee).
This would not be applicable for the construction projects undertaken by the
enterprise on its own account as a commercial venture in the nature of production
activities.

Basic principles of recognition of revenue and expenses:

 Revenue recognized in the period in which work is performed;
 Expenses recognized in the period in which the work to which expenses relate is
performed.
Conditions for recognizing the contract revenue:

- Following conditions must be fulfilled for recognizing the contract revenue:

(i) Total contract revenue can be measured reliably
(ii) It is probable that economic benefits associated with contract will flow to
the enterprise / contractor
(iii) Total contract cost and cost upto the stage of completion is measured
reliably
(iv) Contract cost attributable to contract can be clearly identified.

Uncertainty in collection amounts to expenses - When an uncertainty arises about

the collectability of an amount already included in contract revenue and already
recognized in profit and loss statement, it amounts to expense. This uncollectable
amount of which recovery has ceased to be probable is recognized as an
expense rather than as an adjustments to contract revenue.

(b) Customised Accounting Software:

A customised accounting software is one which is developed on the basis of specific
requirements of the organisation. A feasibility study is first made before the decision to
develop a software is made. The life cycle of a customized accounting software
begins with the organisation providing the user requirements. Based on the these user
requirement the system analyst prepares a requirement specification which is given
for approval by the user management. Once the requirement specification is
approved, the designing process begins. Development, testing and implementation
are the other components of the system development life cycle.

Advantages of a Customised Accounting Package:

1. The functional areas which are not covered in pre-packaged software gets
computerised.
2. The input screens can be tailor made to match the input documents for ease of
data entry.
3. It provides many MIS reports as per the specification of the organisation.
4. It facilitates the use of Bar-code scanners as input devices suitable for the specific
needs of an individual organisation.
5. It can suitably match with the organisational structure of the company.

8. Write short notes on any three of the following: 5×3=15

(a) Users of Accounting information
(b) Objective and necessity for providing Depreciation
(c) Applicability of Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932
(d) Difference between Sale and Consignment

Answer:

8. (a) Users of Accounting Information

Accounting provides information both to internal users and the external users. The
internal users are all the organizational participants, at all levels of management (i.e.
top, middle and lower). Generally top: level management requires information for
planning, middle level management which requires information for controlling the
operations. For internal use, the information is usually provided in the form of reports,
for instance Cash Budget Reports, Production Reports, Idle Time Reports, Feedback
Reports, whether to retain or replace an equipment decision reports, project
appraisal report, and the like.
There are also the external users (e.g. Banks, Creditors). They do not have direct
access to all the record 'of an enterprise, they have to rely on financial statements as
the source of information. External users are basically, interested in the solvency and
profitability of an enterprise.

(b) Objective and Necessity for Providing Depreciation

Eric Kohler defined depreciation as "the lost usefulness, expired utility, the diminution
in service yield." Its measurement and charging are necessary for cost recovery. It is
treated as a part of the expired cost for an asset. For determination of revenue, that
part or cost should be matched against revenue. The objects or necessities of
charging depreciation are:
(i) Correct calculation of cost of production: Depreciation is an allocated cost of a
fixed asset. It is to be calculated and charged correctly against the revenue of an
accounting period. It must be correctly included within the cost of production.
(ii) Correct calculation of profits: Costs incurred for earning revenues must be
charged properly for correct calculation of profits. The consumed cost of assets
(depreciation) has to be provided for correct matching of revenues with
expenses.
(iii) Correct disclosure of fixed assets at reasonable value: Unless depreciation is
charged, the depreciable asset cannot be correctly valued and presented in the
Balance Sheet. Depreciation is charged so that the Balance Sheet exhibits a true
and fair view of the affairs of the business.
(iv) Provision of replacement cost: Depreciation is a non-cash expense. But net profit,
is calculated after charging it. Through annual' depreciation cash resources are
saved and accumulated to provide replacement cost at the end of the useful life
of an asset.
(v) Maintenance of capital: A significant portion of capital has to be invested for

DoS, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 19
 102
Suggested Answers_Syl2016_December 2019_Paper 5

purchasing fixed assets. The values of such assets are gradually reduced due to
their regular use and passage of time. Depreciation on the assets is treated as an
expired cost and it is matched against revenue. It is charged against profits. If it is
not charged the profits will remain inflated. This will cause capital erosion.
(vi) Compliance with technical and legal requirements: Depreciation has to be
charged to comply with the relevant provisions of the Companies Act and
Income Tax Act.

(c) Applicability of Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act 1932:

In case of retirement, the retiring partner or in case of death, the executor of the
deceased partner, if the dues are not settled, then such retired partner or the
executor is entitled to the following:

Maximum of : Interest @ 6% p.a. on the amount due to them (i.e. if the amount is
unsettled, like, rate of interest on loan to be allowed to the retired partner or the
executor is not mentioned)
Or
The share of profit earned for the amount due to the partner

Conditions:
(a) The surviving partners/continuing partners continue to carry on the business of the
firm.
(b) The business is carried on without any final settlement of accounts between the
continuing partners and the outgoing partners or his estate.
(c) There is no contract to the contrary of the options contained in Section 37 i.e.
share in the profits or interest @ 6% p.a. on the unsettled capital.

(d) Difference between Sale and Consignment

1. In sale the property in goods is transferred to the buyer immediately whereas in
consignment the property is transferred to the buyer only when goods are sold by
the consignee. The ownership of goods remains with the consignor when goods
are transferred to the consignee by the consignor.
2. In sale, the risk attaching to the goods passes with ownership to the buyer. In case
of a consignment, the risk attaching to the goods does not pass to the consignee
who acts as a mere agent. If there is any damage or loss to the goods it is borne
by the consignor provided the consignee has taken reasonable care of the
goods and the damage or loss is not due to his negligence.
3. The relationship of consignor and consignee is that of a principal, and an agent
as in a contract of agency whereas the relationship of buyer and seller is
governed by the Sale of Goods Act.
4. Unsold goods on consignment are the property of the consignor and may be
returned if not saleable in the market whereas goods sold on sale basis are
normally not returnable unless there is some defect in them.

shield‟ is deductible expense while calculating taxable income of the concern. Diminishing
balance method of calculating depreciation results in greater tax saving in a balanced firm is
compared to straight line method.

  To keep intact the capital invested in depreciable assets and to make provision for the 127
replacement, modernization and expansion on most favourable terms. It is process of
allocation and helps the management to retain this amount of profit in business for replacing
asset. Otherwise this profit would have gone to the Government in the form of tax.
 To match the cost with revenue, depreciation is necessary to measure the cost incurred during
a given period. Thus, know correct net income and financial condition for external reporting.
 Depreciation helps to measure managerial performance. But, charging it on historical cost or
replacement cost basis is again a controversial issue and will affect the managerial decisions
to be taken by the top management. Differences in costs because of charge of depreciation
under different methods, tend to mislead management in selecting their operational alternative
for more profitable for the firm as a whole.
 Withdraw of asset before the end of its useful life is not up to standard to cope with the
increasing competition in the market but due to the external factor of technological
improvements in the existing asset is refereed to obsolescence. In such atmosphere the asset is
depreciated quickly otherwise profit and loss account will be over burdened with the amount
of loss on account of obsolescence in the year in which the asset obsoletes.
 Serving consistently to follow a particular method of depreciation otherwise would make the
financial statements unreliable to the stakeholders. It means convention of consistency.
 Depreciation makes to retain funds for replacement asset at the end of its working life
 Apportioning total cost of the asset over its useful life is achieved by charging depreciation;
and investing such amount of depreciation the public may not misled and correct investment
decision may be made.
