FOREWORD
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India, the second largest professional accountancy body
in the world, occupies a pivotal position in the Indian economy. As compared to other leading
professional accountancy bodies in the world, the Institute enjoys a unique position since it is
endowed with the authority not only to conduct examinations and grant license to qualified
members but it also imparts theoretical education through diverse methods such as provision of
study material, conducting revisionary classes, etc. In fact, the Institute is a pioneer in imparting
the education to students through distance education mode since its inception in 1949. Keeping in
view the fact that the students of chartered accountancy course are dispersed geographically in the
entire world, it is imminent that the Institute must make all efforts to retain its primacy in this
particular area.
While all out efforts are being made to leverage the technology for the benefit of students through
e-learning, Shiksha Portal, etc. by the Institute, it must continue to serve students through
comprehensive study material with the aim to inculcate the self-learning experience. In this
direction, I am happy to note that the study material has been thoroughly revised and made user
friendly by improving presentation, emphasis on significant issues, illustrations explaining the
concept step by step, etc. The inclusion of practical case studies intends to make it more
application-oriented and aims to enhance the knowledge of students in the practical environment.
A separate Practice Manual shall also enable the students to practice the subject on their own. It
is hoped that the revised study material would prove to be very useful for students and their
reliance on other external sources shall go down considerably. I am confident that the provision of
such education literature shall enable our potential chartered accountants to compete with the best
in the world.

PREFACE
With the fast changing business dynamics, fierce competition, globalization, complicated laws and
transactions, there is tremendous pressure on the Chartered Accountancy students to acquire
knowledge not only to clear examinations but also to build strong foundation for future endeavours.
To strengthen knowledge of students and further build confidence for examination, the Board of
Studies has developed the new study material. The new study material is comprehensive enough
so that the students dispersed not only within the country but in other parts of the world as well can
learn, understand and assimilate the subject through self-learning process. With this avid objective,
the study material has been divided in two volumes namely Volume I dealing with the conceptual
theoretical framework in detail and Volume II comprising of practice manual.
Volume I of the study material provides the basic concepts, theories and techniques relating to
Accounting and aims to develop the students’ ability in understanding the different concepts
and their application in the real life situations.
The entire study material has been written in a simple language. A number of self-examination
questions are given at the end of each chapter for practice by students. There are also a
number of illustrations in each chapter to help students to have a better grasp of the subject.
Certain special features have been added in the study material like charts, diagrams, and learning
objectives to help the students in understanding the concepts in a simple manner. The significant
changes that have taken place in the area of finance have also been incorporated.
Volume II of the study material comprises the Practice Manual. It aims to provide guidance to the
students in writing an answer in the examination. Basic concepts in the form of definitions,
equations and formulae have been given before each chapter for a quick review. Students are
expected to attempt the questions and then compare it with the actual answers. Exercises have
also been given at the end of each topic for independent practice. It also contains a matrix showing
the analysis of the past examinations. This matrix will help the students in getting an idea about the
trend of questions being asked and relative weightage of each topic in the past examinations. The
revised study material also contains tips for students to prepare for the examinations.
We acknowledge the contributions made by CA. Parveen Kumar of M/s ASA & Associates,
Delhi and his team including CA. Prateet Mittal, CA. Akriti Gomber and CA. Babita Rana
towards the improvement of the study material.
The concerned faculty members of Board of Studies Ms. Seema Gupta and Ms. Shilpa
Agrawal have put in their best efforts in making this study material lucid and student-friendly.

STUDY TIPS AND EXAMINATION TECHNIQUE
The aim of this section is to provide general guidance as to how to study for your exams.
The guidance given herein is supplementary to the manner of study followed by you and is
intended to improve your existing technique, but aims to give ideas on how to improve your
existing study techniques, as it is essential that you adopt methods and techniques with
which you feel comfortable.
Passing exams is partly a matter of intellectual ability, but however accomplished you are
in that respect you can improve your chances significantly by the use of appropriate study
and revision techniques. In this section we briefly outline some tips for effective study
during the earlier stages.
Know your Syllabus
• Go through the syllabus carefully.
• Volume I has been divided in fifteen chapters/topics based on syllabus.
• Main topics are as under:
Ch. No. Topics
1 Accounting Standards
2 Financial Statements of Companies
Unit 1 Preparation of Financial statements
Unit 2 Cash Flow Statements
3 Profits or Losses Prior to Incorporation
4 Accounting for Bonus Issue
5 Internal Reconstruction
6 Amalgamation
7 Unit 1 Average Due Date
Unit 2 Account Current

12 Investment Accounts
13 Insurance Claims for Loss of Stock and Loss of Profit
14 Issues in Partnership Accounts
15 Accounting in Computerized Environment
• Understand the linkages between chapters at macro-level.

Plan your Study
• Make a study plan covering the entire syllabus and then decide how much time you
can allocate to the subject on daily/weekly basis.
• Allocation of time must be done keeping in view your office commitments as well as
social needs and personal hobbies.
• Maintain the time balance amongst various subjects such as purely descriptive type
and numerical-based papers. Allocate time in such a manner that your interest is well
sustained and you are able to score well in the final examination as well.
• Always assess your preparation periodically, say, on monthly basis. If necessary,
revise your plan and allocate more time for the subject in which you feel deficient.
Preparing Study Strategy
• Read, understand and assimilate each chapter.
• First of all, have an overview of the chapter to understand the broad contents and
sequence of various sub-topics.
• Do the introspection while going through the chapter and ask various questions to
yourself.
• Read each chapter slowly to ensure that you understand and assimilate the main
concept. If need be, read once again with concentration and then try to attempt
exercise at the end of the chapter or given in the Practice Manual.
• Recapitulate the main concept after going through each chapter by way of brief notes.
• Prepare notes in the manner you feel comfortable covering all key points. Use
mnemonic form e.g. C V P denoting cost, valuation and price.
• One may use highlighter/underlining the significant points or writing down in the
margin.
• The fact that how well you have understood the topic is your ability to attempt the
questions given in the exercises as well as in the practice manual. Make a serious
attempt at producing your own answers but at this stage do not be much concern
about attempting the questions in examination based conditions. In particular, at initial
stages, it is more important to understand and absorb the material thoroughly rather
than to observe the time limits that would apply in the actual examination conditions.
• Always try to attempt the past year examination question paper under examination
conditions.
• Revision of material should never be selective in any case. Because broad coverage
of the syllabus is more important than preparing 2-3 chapters exhaustively.
• Read through the text along with notes carefully. Try to remember the definition and
important formulae.
Examination Technique
¾ Reach examination hall well in time.
¾ Plan your time so that equal time is awarded for each mark. Keep sometime for
revision as well.
¾ Always attempt to do all questions. Remember that six average answers fetch more
marks than five best answers. Therefore, it is important that you must finish each
question within allocated time.
¾ Read the question carefully more than once before starting the answer to understand
very clearly as to what is required by the paper-setter.
¾ Always be concise and write to the point and do not try to fill pages unnecessarily.
¾ In case a question is not clear, you may state your assumptions and then answer the
question.
¾ While writing answers in respect of essay-type questions, try to make sub-readings so
that it catches the examiner’s eye. In case of case-study, be very precise and write
your conclusion in a clear manner.
¾ Reference to standards, guidance notes, section of various legislation, etc be done in
a clear-cut manner.
¾ Revise your answers carefully underline important points before leaving the
examination hall.

CHAPTER 1
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
BASIC CONCEPTS
CHAPTER 1 : ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Accounting Standards (ASs) are written policy documents issued by expert accounting body or
by government or other regulatory body covering the aspects of recognition, measurement,
presentation and disclosure of accounting transactions in the financial statements. Accounting
Standards 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 are covered in this paper.
Accounting
Question 1
What are the main features of the Cash Flow Statement? Explain with special reference to AS 3?
Answer
According to AS 3 (Revised) on “Cash Flow Statements”, cash flow statement deals with the
provision of information about the historical changes in cash and cash equivalents of an enterprise
during the given period from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash flows from
operating activities can be reported using either
(a) the direct method, whereby major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments
are disclosed; or
(b) the indirect method, whereby net profit or loss is adjusted for the effects of transactions of
non–cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or
payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.
As per para 42 of AS 3 (Revised), an enterprise should disclose the components of cash and cash
equivalents and should present a reconciliation of the amounts in its cash flow statement with the
equivalent items reported in the balance sheet.
A cash flow statement when used in conjunction with the other financial statements, provides
information that enables users to evaluate the changes in net assets of an enterprise, its financial
structure (including its liquidity and solvency), and its ability to affect the amount and timing of
cash flows in order to adapt to changing circumstances and opportunities. This statement also
enhances the comparability of the reporting of operating performance by different enterprises
because it eliminates the effects of using different accounting treatments for the same transactions
and events.
AS 3 (revised) is recommendatory at present but for companies listed on stock exchanges, its
compliance is mandatory due to the listing agreement which provides for the listed companies to
furnish cash flow statement in their Annual Reports.
Question 2

balance Rs. 100 lakhs was paid in April, 1999.
By 31st March, 1999 they procured advertisement for 70% of the available time for Rs. 350 lakhs.
The advertisers paid 60% of the amount by that date. The balance 40% was received in April,

Accounting
As per para 7.1 of AS 9 on Revenue Recognition, under proportionate completion method, revenue
from service transactions is recognised proportionately by reference to the performance of each act
where performance consists of the execution of more than one act. Therefore, income from
advertisement is recognised in May, 1999 (25%) and June, 1999 (75%) in the proportion of
availability of the advertisement time.
Question 3
(a) X Co. Ltd. charged depreciation on its asset on SLM basis. For the year ended 31.3.2003 it
changed to WDV basis. The impact of the change when computed from the date of the asset
coming to use amounts to Rs. 20 lakhs being additional charge.
Decide how it must be disclosed in Profit and loss account. Also, discuss, when such
changes in method of depreciation can be adopted by an enterprise as per AS–6.
(b) Briefly describe the disclosure requirements for amalgamation including additional disclosure,
if any, for different methods of amalgamation as per AS–14.
Answer
(a) The company should disclose the change in method of depreciation adopted for the
accounting year. The impact on depreciation charge due to change in method must be
quantified and reported by the enterprise.
Following aspects may be noted in this regard as per AS 6 on Depreciation Accounting.
(a) The depreciation method selected should be applied consistently from period to period.
(b) A change from one method of providing depreciation to another should be made only if
the adoption of the new method is required by statute or for compliance with an
accounting standard if it is considered that the change would result in a more
appropriate preparation or presentation of the financial statements of the enterprise.
(c) When such a change in the method of depreciation is made, depreciation should be
recalculated in accordance with the new method from the date of the asset coming into
use. The deficiency or surplus arising from retrospective recomputation of depreciation
in accordance with the new method should be adjusted in the accounts in the year in
which the method of depreciation is changed.
(d) In case the change in the method results in deficiency in depreciation in respect of past
years, the deficiency should be charged in the statement of profit and loss.
(e) In case the change in the method results in surplus, the surplus should be credited to
the statement of profit and loss. Such a change should be treated as a change in
accounting policy and its effect should be quantified and disclosed.
1.6
(b) The disclosure requirements for amalgamations have been prescribed in paragraphs 43 to 46
of AS 14 on Accounting for Amalgamation.
For all amalgamations, the following disclosures should be made in the first financial
statements following the amalgamation:
(a) names and general nature of business of the amalgamating companies;
(b) the effective date of amalgamation for accounting purpose;
(c) the method of accounting used to reflect the amalgamation; and
(d) particulars of the scheme sanctioned under a statute.
For amalgamations accounted under the pooling of interests method, the following additional
disclosures should be made in the first financial statements following the amalgamation:
(a) description and number of shares issued, together with the percentage of each
company’s equity shares exchanged to effect the amalgamation; and
(b) the amount of any difference between the consideration and the value of net identifiable
assets acquired, and the treatment thereof.
For amalgamations, accounted under the purchase method, the following additional
disclosures should be made in the first financial statements following the amalgamation;
(a) consideration for the amalgamation and a description of the consideration paid or
contingently payable; and
(b) the amount of any difference between the consideration and the value of net identifiable
assets acquired, and the treatment thereof including the period of amortisation of any
goodwill arising on amalgamation.
Question 4
(a) A Limited company charged depreciation on its assets on the basis of W.D.V. method from
the date of assets coming to use till date amounts to Rs. 32.23 lakhs. Now the company
decides to switch over to Straight Line method of providing for depreciation. The amount of
depreciation computed on the basis of S.L.M. from the date of assets coming to use till the
date of change of method amounts to Rs. 20 lakhs.
Discuss as per AS-6, when such changes in method of can be adopted by the company and
what would be the accounting treatment and disclosure requirement.
(b) X Limited has recognized Rs. 10 lakhs on accrual basis income from dividend on units of
mutual funds of the face value of Rs. 50 lakhs held by it as at the end of the financial year
31st March, 2003. The dividends on mutual funds were declared at the rate of 20% on 15th
June, 2003. The dividend was proposed on 10th April, 2003 by the declaring company.
1.7
Accounting
Whether the treatment is as per the relevant Accounting Standard? You are asked to answer
with reference to provisions of Accounting Standard.
Answer
(a) Paragraph 21 of Accounting Standard 6 on Depreciation Accounting says, "The depreciation
method selected should be applied consistently from period to period. A change from one
method of providing depreciation to another should be made only if the adoption of the new
method is required by statute or for compliance with an accounting standard or if it is
considered that the change would result in a more appropriate preparation or presentation of
the financial statements of the enterprise."
The paragraph also mentions the procedure to be followed when such a change in the
method of depreciation is made by an enterprise. As per the said paragraph, depreciation
should be recalculated in accordance with the new method from the date of the asset coming
to use. The difference in the amount, being deficiency or surplus from retrospective
recomputation should be adjusted in the profit and loss account in the year such change is
effected. Since such a change amounts to a change in the accounting policy, it should be
properly quantified and disclosed. In the question given, the surplus arising out of
retrospective recomputation of depreciation as per the straight line method is Rs. 12.23 lakhs
(Rs. 32.23 lakhs – Rs. 20 lakhs). This should be written back to Profit and Loss Account and
should be disclosed accordingly.
(b) Paragraph 8.4 and 13 of Accounting Standard 9 on Revenue Recognition states that
dividends from investments in shares are not recognised in the statement of profit and loss
until a right to receive payment is established.
In the given case, the dividend is proposed on 10th April, 2003, while it is declared on 15th
June, 2003. Hence, the right to receive payment is established on 15th June, 2003. As per
the above mentioned paragraphs, income from dividend on units of mutual funds should be
recognised by X Ltd. in the financial year ended 31st March, 2004.
The recognition of Rs. 10 lakhs on accrual basis in the financial year 2002-2003 is not as per
AS 9 'Revenue Recognition'.

Question 5
(a) 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 2002-03. The Historical
Cost and Net Realizable Value of the items of closing stock are determined as follows:
Historical Cost (Rs. Net Realisable Value

Items
in lakhs) (Rs. in lakhs)
A 40 28
B 32 32
C 16 24
What will be the value of Closing Stock?

(b) During the current year 2002−2003, X Limited made the following expenditure relating to its
plant building:
Rs. in lakhs
Routine Repairs 4
Repairing 1
Partial replacement of roof tiles 0.5
Substantial improvements to the electrical wiring
system which will increase efficiency 10
What amount should be capitalized?

(c) A plant was depreciated under two different methods as under:
Year SLM W.D.V.

(Rs. in lakhs) (Rs. in lakhs)
1 7.80 21.38
2 7.80 15.80
3 7.80 11.68
4 7.80 8.64
31.20 57.50
5 7.80 6.38
1.9
Accounting
What should be the amount of resultant surplus/deficiency, if the company decides to switch
over from W.D.V. method to SLM method for first four years? Also state, how will you treat
the same in Accounts.
(d) Briefly explain the methods of accounting for amalgamation as per Accounting Standard-14.
Answer
(a) 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 Net Realisable Value Valuation of closing

(Rs. in lakhs) (Rs. in lakhs) stock (Rs. in lakhs)
A 40 28 28
B 32 32 32
C 16 24 16
88 84 76
Hence, closing stock will be valued at Rs. 76 lakhs.
(b) As per para 12.1 of AS 10 on Accounting for Fixed Assets, 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. Hence, in the
given case, Repairs amounting Rs. 5 lakhs and Partial replacement of roof tiles should be
charged to profit and loss statement. Rs. 10 lakhs incurred for substantial improvement to the
electrical writing system which will increase efficiency should be capitalized.
(c) As per para 21 of AS 6 on Depreciation Accounting, when a change in the method of
depreciation is made, depreciation should be recalculated in accordance with the new method
from the date of the asset coming into use. The deficiency or surplus arising from
retrospective recomputation of depreciation in accordance with the new method should be
adjusted in the accounts in the year in which the method of depreciation is changed. In the
given case, there is a surplus of Rs. 26.30 lakhs on account of change in method of
depreciation, which will be credited to Profit and Loss Account. Such a change should be
treated as a change in accounting policy and its effect should be quantified and disclosed.
(d) As per AS 14 on ‘Accounting for Amalgamations’, there are two main methods of accounting
for amalgamations:
(i) The Pooling of Interest Method
Under this method, the assets, liabilities and reserves of the transferor company are recorded
1.10
by the transferee company at their existing carrying amounts (after making the necessary
adjustments).
If at the time of amalgamation, the transferor and the transferee companies have conflicting
accounting policies, a uniform set of accounting policies is adopted following the
amalgamation. The effects on the financial statements of any changes in accounting policies
are reported in accordance with AS 5 on ‘Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items
and Changes in Accounting Policies’.
(ii) The Purchase Method
Under the purchase method, the transferee company accounts for the amalgamation either
by incorporating the assets and liabilities at their existing carrying amounts or by allocating
the consideration to individual identifiable assets and liabilities of the transferor company on
the basis of their fair values at the date of amalgamation. The identifiable assets and
liabilities may include assets and liabilities not recorded in the financial statements of the
transferor company.
Where assets and liabilities are restated on the basis of their fair values, the determination of
fair values may be influenced by the intentions of the transferee company.
Question 6
(a) X Co. Limited purchased goods at the cost of Rs.40 lakhs in October, 2005. Till March, 2006,
75% of the stocks were sold. The company wants to disclose closing stock at Rs.10 lakhs.
The expected sale value is Rs.11 lakhs and a commission at 10% on sale is payable to the
agent. Advise, what is the correct closing stock to be disclosed as at 31.3.2006.
(b) Explain the ‘Accounting of Revaluation of Assets’ with reference to AS 10.
(c) Arjun Ltd. sold farm equipments through its dealers. One of the conditions at the time of sale
is, payment of consideration in 14 days and in the event of delay interest is chargeable @
15% per annum. The Company has not realized interest from the dealers in the past.
However, for the year ended 31.3.2006, it wants to recognise interest due on the balances
due from dealers. The amount is ascertained at Rs.9 lakhs. Decide whether the income by
way of interest from dealers is eligible for recognition as per AS 9.
Answer
(a) As per Para 5 of AS 2 “Valuation of Inventories”, the inventories are to be valued at lower of
cost and net realizable value.
In this case, the cost of inventory is Rs.10 lakhs. The net realizable value is 11,00,000 × 90%
= Rs.9,90,000. So, the stock should be valued at Rs.9,90,000.
1.11
Accounting
(b) As per Para 30 of AS 10 “Accounting for Fixed Assets”, an increase in net book value arising
on revaluation of fixed assets should be credited to owner’s interests under the head of
‘revaluation reserve, except that, to the extent that such increase is related to and not greater
than a decrease arising on revaluation previously recorded as a charge to the profit and loss
statement, it may be credited to the profit and loss statement. A decrease in net book value
arising on revaluation of fixed assets is charged directly to profit and loss statement except
that to the extent such a decrease is related to an increase which was previously recorded as
a credit to revaluation reserve and which has not been subsequently reversed or utilized , it
may be charged directly to that account.
(c) As per AS 9 “Revenue Recognition”, where the ability to assess the ultimate collection with
reasonable certainty is lacking at the time of raising any claim, the revenue recognition is
postponed to the extent of uncertainty inverted. In such cases, the revenue is recognized
only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made.
In this case, the company never realized interest for the delayed payments make by the
dealers. Hence, it has to recognize the interest only if the ultimate collection is certain. The
interest income hence is not to be recognized.
Question 7
(a) What are the disclosure requirements of AS-7 (Revised)?
(b) What are the information that are to be disclosed in the financial statements as per
AS-10?
Answer
(a) According to paragraphs 38, 39 and 41 of AS 7, an enterprise should disclose:
(a) the amount of contract revenue recognized as revenue in the period;
(b) the methods used to determine the contract revenue recognized in the period; and
(c) the methods used to determine the stage of completion of contracts in progress.
In case of contract still in progress the following disclosures are required at the reporting date:
(a) the aggregate amount of costs incurred and recognised profits (less recognised losses)
upto the reporting date;
(b) the amount of advances received; and
(c) the amount of retentions.
An enterprise should also present:
(a) the gross amount due from customers for contract work as an asset; and
1.12
(b) the gross amount due to customers for contract work as a liability.
(b) As per AS 10, the following information should be disclosed in the financial statements :
(i) gross and net book values of fixed assets at the beginning and end of an accounting
period showing additions, disposals, acquisitions and other movements ;
(ii) expenditure incurred on account of fixed assets in the course of construction or
acquisition ; and
(iii) revalued amount substituted for historical costs of fixed assets, the method adopted to
compute the revalued amounts, the nature of indices used, the year of any appraisal
made, and whether an external valuer was involved, in case where fixed assets are
stated at revalued amounts.
Question 8
(a) The Company X Ltd., has to pay for delay in cotton clearing charges. The company up to
31.3.2006 has included such charges in the valuation of closing stock. This being in the
nature of interest, X Ltd. decided to exclude such charges from closing stock for the year
2006-07. This would result in decrease in profit by Rs.5 lakhs. Comment.
(b) The Board of Directors of X Ltd. decided on 31.3.2007 to increase sale price of certain items
of goods sold retrospectively from 1st January, 2007. As a result of this decision the company
has to receive Rs.5 lakhs from its customers in respect of sales made from 1.1.2007 to
31.3.2007. But the Company’s Accountant was reluctant to make-up his mind. You are
asked to offer your suggestion.
(c) Briefly explain disclosure requirements for Investments as per AS-13.
Answer
(a) As per para 12 of AS 2 (revised), interest and other borrowing costs are usually considered
as not relating to bringing the inventories to their present location and condition and are
therefore, usually not included in the cost of inventories. However, X Ltd. was in practice to
charge the cost for delay in cotton clearing in the closing stock. As X Ltd. decided to change
this valuation procedure of closing stock, this treatment will be considered as a change in
accounting policy and such fact to be disclosed as per AS 1. Therefore, any change in
amount mentioned in financial statement, which will affect the financial position of the
company should be disclosed properly as per AS 1, AS 2 and AS 5.
Also a note should be given in the annual accounts that, had the company followed earlier
system of valuation of closing stock, the profit before tax would have been higher by Rs. 5 lakhs.
(b) As per para 10 of AS 9 ‘Revenue Recognition’, the additional revenue on account of increase
in sales price with retrospective effect, as decided by Board of Directors of X Ltd., of Rs.5
1.13
Accounting
lakhs to be recognised as income for financial year 2006-07, only if the company is able to
assess the ultimate collection with reasonable certainty. If at the time of raising of any claim it
is unreasonable to expect ultimate collection, revenue recognition should be postponed.
(c) The disclosure requirements as per para 35 of AS 13 are as follows:
(i) Accounting policies followed for valuation of investments.
(ii) Classification of investment into current and long term in addition to classification as per
Schedule VI of Companies Act in case of company.
(iii) The amount included in profit and loss statements for
(a) Interest, dividends and rentals for long term and current investments, disclosing
therein gross income and tax deducted at source thereon;
(b) Profits and losses on disposal of current investment and changes in carrying
amount of such investments;
(c) Profits and losses and disposal of long term investments and changes in carrying
amount of investments.
(iv) Aggregate amount of quoted and unquoted investments, giving the aggregate market
value of quoted investments;
(v) Any significant restrictions on investments like minimum holding period for sale/disposal,
utilisation of sale proceeds or non-remittance of sale proceeds of investment held
outside India.
(vi) Other disclosures required by the relevant statute governing the enterprises.
Question 9
X Ltd. purchased debentures of Rs.10 lacs of Y Ltd., which are traded in stock exchange. How will
you show this item as per AS 3 while preparing cash flow statement for the year ended on 31st
March, 2008?
Answer
As per AS 3 on ‘Cash flow Statement’, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash in hand,
balance with banks and short-term, highly liquid investments1. If investment, of Rs.10 lacs, made
in debentures is for short-term period then it is an item of ‘cash equivalents’.
However, if investment of Rs.10 lacs made in debentures is for long-term period then as per AS 3,
it should be shown as cash flow from investing activities.
1 As per para 6 of AS 3, an investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of, say
three months or less from the date of acquisition.
1.14
Question 10
(i) A manufacturing company purchased shares of another company from stock exchange on 1st
May, 2007 at a cost of Rs.5,00,000. It also purchased Gold of Rs.2,00,000 and Silver of
Rs.1,50,000 on 1st April, 2005. How will you treat these investments as per the applicable AS
in the books of the company for the year ended on 31st March, 2008, if the values of these
investments are as follows:
Rs.
Shares 2,00,000
Gold 4,00,000
Silver 2,50,000
(ii) In a production process, normal waste is 5% of input. 5,000 MT of input were put in process
resulting in wastage of 300 MT. Cost per MT of input is Rs.1,000. The entire quantity of
waste is on stock at the year end. State with reference to Accounting Standard, how will you
value the inventories in this case?
Answer
(i) As per para 32 of AS 13 on ‘Accounting for Investments’, any investment of long term period
is shown at cost. Hence, the investment in Gold and Silver (purchased on 1st April 2005)
shall continue to be shown at cost i.e., Rs.2,00,000 and Rs.1,50,000 respectively as their
value have increased.
Also as per AS 13, for investment in shares - if the investment is for short-term period then
the loss of Rs.3,00,000 is to be charged to profit & loss account for the year ended 31st
March, 2008. If investment is of 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, other than temporary, in the value of the investments, such reduction
being determined and made for each investment individually.
(ii) As per para 13 of AS 2 (Revised), 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.
In this case, normal waste is 250 MT and abnormal waste is 50 MT.
The cost of 250 MT will be included in determining the cost of inventories (finished goods) at
the year end. The cost of abnormal waste amounting to Rs.50,000 (50 MT × Rs.1,000) will
be charged to the profit and loss statement.

Question 12
(a) B Ltd. undertook a construction contract for Rs. 50 crores in April, 2007. the cost of
construction was initially estimated at Rs. 35 crores. The contract is to be completed in 3
years. While executing the contract, the company estimated the cost of completion of the
contract at Rs. 53 crores.
Can the company provide for the expected loss in the book of account for the year ended 31st
March, 2008?
(b) List the conditions to be fulfilled as per Accounting Standard 14 (AS 14) for an amalgamation
to be in the nature of merger, in the case of companies.
Answer
(a) As per para 35 of AS 7 “Construction Contracts”, when it is probable that total contract costs
will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss should be recognised as an expense
1.17
Accounting
immediately. Therefore, The foreseeable loss of Rs.3 crores (Rs. 53 crores less Rs. 50
crores) should be recognised as an expense immediately in the year ended 31st march, 2008.
The amount of loss is determined irrespective of
(i) Whether or not work has commenced on the contract;
(ii) Stage of completion of contract activity; or
(iii) The amount of profits expected to arise on other contracts which are not treated as a
single construction contract in accordance with para 8 of AS 7.
(b) An amalgamation should be considered to be an amalgamation in the nature of merger if the
following conditions are satisfied:
(i) All the assets and liabilities of the transferor company become, after amalgamation, the
assets and liabilities of the transferee company.
(ii) Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the face value of the equity shares of the
transferor company (other than the equity shares already held therein, immediately
before the amalgamation, by the transferee company or its subsidiaries or their
nominees) become equity shareholders of the transferee company by virtue of the
amalgamation.
(iii) The consideration for the amalgamation receivable by those equity shareholders of the
transferor company who agree to become equity shareholders of the transferee
company is discharged by the transferee company wholly by the issue of equity shares
in the transferee company, except that cash may be paid in respect of any fractional
shares.
(iv) The business of the transferor company is intended to be carried on, after the
amalgamation, by the transferee company.
(v) No adjustment is intended to be made to the book values of the assets and liabilities of
the transferor company when they are incorporated in the financial statements of the
transferee company except to ensure uniformity of accounting policies.

Question 4
Jagannath Ltd. had made a rights issue of shares in 1996. In the offer document to its members, it
had projected a surplus of Rs. 40 crores during the accounting year to end on 31st March, 1998.
The draft results for the year, prepared on the hitherto followed accounting policies and presented
for perusal of the board of directors showed a deficit of Rs. 10 crores. The board in consultation
with the managing director, decided on the following :
(i) Value year-end inventory at works cost (Rs. 50 crores) instead of the hitherto method of
valuation of inventory at prime cost (Rs. 30 crores).
(ii) Provide depreciation for the year on straight line basis on account of substantial additions in
gross block during the year, instead of on the reducing balance method, which was hitherto
adopted. As a consequence, the charge for depreciation at Rs. 27 crores is lower than the
amount of Rs. 45 crores which would have been provided had the old method been followed,
by Rs. 18 cores.
(iii) Not to provide for “after sales expenses” during the warranty period. Till the last year,
provision at 2% of sales used to be made under the concept of “matching of costs against
revenue” and actual expenses used to be charged against the provision. The board now
decided to account for expenses as and when actually incurred. Sales during the year total to
Rs. 600 crores.
(iv) Provide for permanent fall in the value of investments - which fall had taken place over the
past five years - the provision being Rs. 10 crores.

UNIT 2 : CASH FLOW STATEMENT
BASIC CONCEPTS AND STEPS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS

¾ Dealt with under AS 3
¾ Based on cash concept of profit
¾ Benefits include providing information relating to changes in cash and cash equivalents of an
enterprise.
¾ Useful tool of planning
¾ Cash funds include :
(a) Cash in hand
(b) Demand deposits with banks
(c) Cash equivalents
¾ Cash flow activities may be classified as inflow and outflow but as per AS-3 they are
classified as Operating Activities, Investing activities, Financing activities
¾ Operating activities are principal revenue generating activities
¾ Investing Activities relate to acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other
investments
¾ Financing Activities include the ones which result in changes in the size and composition of
the owner’s capital (including preference share capital) and borrowings of the enterprise.
¾ Methods to calculate cash flow from operating activities include:
(a) Direct Method
(b) Indirect Method also known as reconciliation method
¾ In order to calculate cash flow from investing activities inflows and outflows related to
acquisition and disposal of assets, other than those related to operating activities, are
shown under this category
¾ In order to calculate cash flow from financing activities inflows and outflows related to the
amount of capital and borrowings of the enterprise are shown under this head
2.4
(A) Write short notes on:

Question 1
Classification of activities (with two examples) as suggested in AS 3, to be used for preparing a
cash flow statements.
Answer
AS 3 (Revised) on Cash Flow Statements requires that the cash flow statement should report cash
flows by operating, investing and financing activities.
(i) Operating activities are the principal revenue-producing activities of the enterprise and
other activities that are not investing or financing activities. Cash receipts from sale of
goods and cash payments to suppliers of goods are two examples of operating activities.
(ii) Investing activities are acquisition and disposal of long-term assets and other investments
not included in cash equivalents. Payment made to acquire machinery and cash received
for sale of furniture are examples of investing activities.
(ii) Financial activities are those activities that result in changes in the size and composition
of the owner’s capital (including preference share capital in the case of a company) and
borrowings of the enterprise. Cash proceeds from issue of shares and cash paid to redeem
debentures are two examples of financing activities.
Question 2
Explain the difference between direct and indirect methods of reporting cash flows from
operating activities with reference to Accounting Standard 3, (AS 3) revised.
Answer
As per para 18 of AS 3 (Revised) on Cash Flow Statements, an enterprise should report cash flows
from operating activities using either :
(a) the direct method, whereby major classes of gross cash receipts and gross cash payments
are disclosed; or
(b) the indirect method, whereby net profit or loss in adjusted for the effects of transactions of a
non-cash nature, any deferrals or accruals of past or future operating cash receipts or
payments, and items of income or expense associated with investing or financing cash
flows.
The direct method provides information which may be useful in estimating future cash flows and
which is not available under the indirect method and is, therefore, considered more appropriate
than the indirect method. Under the direct method, information about major classes of gross cash
receipts and gross cash payments may be obtained either :
2.5
Accounting
(a) from the accounting records of the enterprise; or

(b) by adjusting sales, cost of sales (interest and similar income and interest expense and
similar charges for a financial enterprise) and other items in the statment of profit and loss
for :
(i) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;
(ii) other non-cash items; and
(iii) other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Under the indirect method, the net cash flow from operating activies is determined by adjusting net
profit or loss for the effects of :
(a) changes during the period in inventories and operating receivables and payables;
(b non-cash items such as depreciation, provisions, deferred taxes and unrealised foreign
exchange gains and losses; and
(c) all other items for which the cash effects are investing or financing cash flows.
Alternatively, the net cash flow from operating activities may be presented under the indirect
method by showing the operating revenues and expenses, excluding non-cash items disclosed in
the statement of profit and loss and the changes during the period in inventories and operating
receivables and payables.
(B) Practical Questions:
Question 1
Examine the following schedule prepared by K Ltd.

Working Notes:
1. Revaluation of stock will increase opening stock by Rs. 24,000.
2,16,000
× 10 = Rs. 24,000
90
Therefore, opening balance of other current assets would be as follows:
Rs. 11,10,000 + Rs. 24,000 = Rs. 11,34,000
Due to under valuation of stock, the opening balance of profit and loss account be
increased by Rs. 24,000.
The opening balance of profit and loss account after revaluation of stock will be
Rs. 2,40,000 + Rs. 24,000 = Rs. 2,64,000

can be shown at Rs. 1,20,000. Due to this assumption cash flow from operating activities would be
affected. The cash flow from operating activities will increase by Rs. 16,000 to Rs. 6,08,000 and
cash flow from financing activities will get reduced by Rs. 16,000 to Rs. 28,000.

CHAPTER 3
PROFIT OR LOSS PRIOR TO INCORPORATION
BASIC CONCEPTS
¾ Profit or loss of a business for the period prior to the date the company came into existence is
referred to as Pre-Incorporation Profits or Losses.
¾ Generally there are two methods of computing Profit & Loss prior to Incorporation
• One is to close of old books and open new books with the assets and liabilities as they
existed at the date of incorporation. In this way, automatically the result to that date will
be adjusted.
• Other is to split up the profit of the year of the transfer of the business to the company
between ‘pre’ and ‘post’ incorporation periods. This is done either on the time basis or
on the turnover basis or by a method which combines the two.
¾ A company taking over a running business may also agree to collect its debts as an agent for
the vendor and may further undertake to pay the creditor on behalf of the vendors. In such a
case, the debtors and creditors of the vendors will be included in the accounts for the
company by debit or credit to separate total accounts in the General Ledger to distinguish
them from the debtors and creditors of the business and contra entries will be made in
corresponding Suspense Accounts. Also details of debtors and creditors balance will be kept
in separate ledger.
¾ The vendor is treated as a creditor for the cash received by the purchasing company in
respect of the debts due to the vendor, just as if he has himself collected cash from his
debtors and remitted the proceeds to the purchasing company.
¾ The vendor is considered a debtor in respect of cash paid to his creditors by the purchasing
company. The balance of the cash collected, less paid, will represent the amount due to or
by the vendor, arising from debtors and creditors balances which have been taken over,
subject to any collection expenses.
¾ The balance in the suspense accounts will be always equal to the amount of debtors and
creditors taken over remaining unadjusted at any time.
Accounting
EXERCISES
Question 1
Pre–incorporation expenses.
Answer
Pre–incorporation expenses denote expenses incurred by the promoters for the purposes of the
company before its incorporation.
Broadly, these include expenses in connection with:
(a) preliminary analysis of the conceived idea,
(b) detailed investigation in terms of technical feasibility and commercial viability to establish the
soundness of the proposition,
(c) preparation of ‘project report’ or ‘feasibility report’ and its verification through independent
appraisal authority (before giving final approval to the proposition) and
(d) organisation of funds, property and managerial ability and assembling of other business
elements.
These expenses should be properly capitalised and shown in the balance sheet under the heading
“Miscellaneous Expenditure”. There is no legal requirement to write–off these expenses to profit
and loss account within any specified period of time nor is there any rigid accounting convention in
regard to this matter. However, good corporate practice recognises the need to write off these
expenses to profit and loss account whtin a period of 3 to 5 years.

CHAPTER 4
ACCOUNTING FOR BONUS ISSUE
BASIC CONCEPTS
¾ Bonus Issue means an offer of free additional shares to existing shareholders. A company
may decide to distribute further shares as an alternative to increase the dividend payout.
¾ Bonus Issue is also known as a "scrip issue" or "capitalization issue".
¾ Bonus issue has following major effects :
• Share capital gets increased according to the bonus issue ratio
• Liquidity in the stock increases.
• Effective Earnings per share, Book Value and other per share values stand reduced.
• Markets take the action usually as a favourable act.
• Market price gets adjusted on issue of bonus shares.
• Accumulated profits get reduced.
¾ Bonus shares can be issued from following :
• General reserves
• Capital Reserve realized in cash
• Securities Premium realized in cash

CHAPTER 5
INTERNAL RECONSTRUCTION
BASIC CONCEPTS
¾ Reconstruction is a process by which affairs of a company are reorganized by
revaluation of assets, reassessment of liabilities and by writing off the losses already
suffered by reducing the paid up value of shares and/or varying the rights attached to
different classes of shares.
¾ Reconstruction account is a new account opened to transfer the sacrifice made by the
shareholders for that part of capital which is not represented by lost assets.
¾ Reconstruction account is utilized for writing-off fictitious and intangible assets, writing
down over-valued fixed assets, recording new liability etc.
¾ If some credit balance remains in the reconstruction account, the same should be
transferred to the capital reserve account.
¾ Methods of Internal reconstruction :
• Alteration of share capital :
Sub-divide or consolidate shares into smaller or higher Denomination
Conversion of share into stock or vice-versa
• Variation of shareholders’ rights :
Only the specific rights are changed. There is no change in the amount of
capital.
• Reduction of share capital
• Compromise, arrangements etc.
• Surrender of Shares.

CHAPTER 6
AMALGAMATION

¾ Amalgamation means joining of two or more existing companies into one company, the
joined companies lose their identity and form themselves into a new company.
¾ In absorption, an existing company takes over the business of another existing company.
Thus there is only one liquidation and that is of the merged company.
¾ A company which is merged into another company is called a transferor company or a
vendor company.
¾ A company into which the vendor company is merged is called transferee company or
vendee company or purchasing company.
¾ In amalgamation in the nature of merger there is genuine pooling of:
• Assets and liabilities of the amalgamating companies,
• Shareholders’ interest, Also the business of the transferor company is intended to be
carried on by the transferee company.
¾ In amalgamation in the nature of purchase, one company acquires the business of
another company.
¾ Purchase Consideration can be defined as the aggregate of the shares and securities
issued and the payment made in form of cash or other assets by the transferee company
to the share holders of the transferor company.
¾ There are two main methods of accounting for amalgamation:
• The pooling of interests method, and
• The purchase method.
¾ Under pooling of interests method, the assets, liabilities and reserves of the transferor
company will be taken over by transferee company at existing carrying amounts.
¾ Under purchase method, the assets and liabilities of the transferor company should be
incorporated at their existing carrying amounts or the purchase consideration should be
allocated to individual identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their fair values at
the date of amalgamation.
Accounting
(A) Write short notes on:

Question 1
What are the conditions, which, according to AS 14 on Accounting for Amalgamations, must
be satisfied for an amalgamation in the nature of merger?
Answer
According to AS 14 on Accounting for Amalgamations; the following conditions must be
satisfied for an amalgamation in the nature of merger:
(i) All the assets and liabilties of the transferor company become, after amalgamation, the
assets and liabilities of the transferee company.
(ii) Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the face value of the equity shares of the
transferor company (other than the equity shares already held therein, immediately
before the amalgamation, by the transferee company or its subsidiaries or their
nominees) become equity shareholders of the transferee by virtue of the
amalgamation.
(iii) The consideration for the amalgamation receivable by those equity shareholders of the
transferor company who agree to become equity shareholders of the transferee
company is discharged by the transferee company wholly by the issue of equity shares
in the transferee company, except that cash may be paid in respect of any fractional
shares.
(iv) The business of the transferor company is intended to be carried on, after the
amalgamation, by the transferee company.
(v) No adjustment is intended to be made to the book values of the assets and liabilities of
the transferor company when they are incorporated in the financial statements of the
transferee company except to ensure uniformity of accounting policies.
(vi) All reserves & surplus of the transferor company shall be preserved by the transferee
company.
If any one of the condition is not satisfied in a process of amalgamation, it cannot be treated
as amalgamation in the nature of merger.
Question 2
Distinguish between (i) the pooling of interests method and (ii) the purchase method of
recording transactions relating to amalgamation.
6.2
Amalgamation
Answer
The following are the points of distinction between (i) the pooling of interests method and (ii)
the purchase method of recording transactions relating to amalgamation:
(i) The pooling of interests method is applied in case of an amalgamation in the nature of
merger whereas purchase method is applied in the case of an amalgamation in the
nature of purchase.
(ii) In the pooling of interests method all the reserves of the transferor company are also
recorded by the transferee company in its books of account while in the purchase
method the transferee company records in its books of account only the assets and
liabilities taken over, the reserves, except the statutory reserves, of the transferor
company are not aggregated with those of the transferee company.
(iii) Under the pooling of interests method, the difference between the consideration paid
and the share capital of the transferor company is adjusted in the general reserve or
other reserves of the transferee company. Under the purchase method, the difference
between the consideration and net assets taken over is treated by the transferee
company as goodwill or capital reserve.
(iv) Under the pooling of interests method, the statutory reserves are recorded by the
transferee company like all other reserves without opening amalgamation adjustment
account. In the purchase method, while incorporating statutory reserves the transferee
company has to open amalgamation adjustment account debiting it with the amount of
the statutory reserves being incorporated.

The purchase consideration was discharged in the form of three equity shares of P Ltd. for
every two equity shares held in V Ltd.

Purchase consideration = Rs. 6,000 lacs × = Rs. 9,000 lacs.

Note : The question is silent regarding the treatment of fictitious assets and therefore they are
not transferred to the amalgamated company. Thus the cost of issue of debentures
shown in the balance sheet of the V Ltd. company is not transferred to the P Ltd.
company.

AVERAGE DUE DATE AND ACCOUNT CURRENT
Unit-1 : AVERAGE DUE DATE

¾ Average Due Date is one on which the net amount payable can be settled without causing loss
of interest either to the borrower or the lender.
¾ When the amount is lent in various instalments then average due date can be calculated as:
Total of [Amount × No. of days from
Average due date = Base date ± base date to due date]
Total amounts
¾ When interest is chargeable on drawings, and drawings are on different dates, interest may be
calculated on the basis of Average Due Date of drawings.
¾ Average due date in a case where the amount is lent in one instalment and repayment is done
in various instalments will be:
Sum of days/months/Years from the date
of lending to the date of repayment of
Average due date = Date of Loan + each instalment
Number of instalments
Accounting
A. State with reasons, whether the following statements are true or false:
1. If payment is made on the average due date, it results in loss of interest to creditors.
False- Average due date is ‘no loss no gain’ date to either party. i.e. neither the debtor nor
the creditor stands to lose or gain anything by way of interest.
2. Average due date is the median average of several due dates for payments.
False- Average due date is equated date for several due dates of payments.
3. In the calculation of average due date, only the due date of first transaction must be taken as
the base date.
False- While calculating the average due date, any transaction date may be taken as the
base date.

CHAPTER 8
SELF-BALANCING LEDGERS
BASIC CONCEPTS
¾ Self Balancing Ledger System implies a system of ledger keeping which classifies ledgers
as per nature of transactions.
¾ In this system, generally three ledgers, namely debtor ledger, creditor ledger and main
ledger (containing remaining accounts) are prepared.
¾ In such a case "General Ledger Adjustment Account" is prepared in each of the subsidiary
ledgers. The General ledger would have Bought Ledger Adjustment Account (in reality,
Total Creditors Account) and Sales Ledger Adjustment Account (in reality, Total Debtors
Account). These accounts are known as Control Accounts
Accounting
A. Write short notes on:

1. Self balancing ledgers.
Answer
A self balancing ledger system implies a system of ledger keeping which classifies ledgers as per
nature of transactions namely Sales Ledger, Bought Ledger, General Ledger etc. and also make
them to balance independently. In order to make each ledger self-balancing, an extra account
called General Ledger Adjustment Account is opened in each of the sales ledger and bought
ledger. Normally, the accounts of individual debtors are maintained recording credit sales, cash
collections, discount, bad debts etc, in Debtors Ledger or Sales Ledger. The General Ledger
Adjustment account in the Sales Ledger gives a summary of all these transactions in a reverse
manner. Similarly in Bought ledger, General Ledger Adjustment account gives a summary of all
transactions of the Bought Ledger in a reverse manner. Against these ledger adjustment accounts,
two other adjustment accounts are maintained in the General Ledger to complete the double entry.
These adjustment accounts are known as Control Accounts. The correctness of individual
balances in each ledger would be verified by extracting its balances and agreeing them with the
balance of the Control Account. The object of the system is to identify errors and to facilitate their
quick detection with the minimum effort.
B. Distinguish between:
1. Self and Sectional Balancing System.
Answer
A self balancing ledger system implies a system of ledger keeping which classifies ledgers as per
nature of transactions namely, Sales Ledger, Bought Ledger, General Ledger etc. and also make
them to balance independently.
In order to make each ledger self-balancing, an extra account called General Ledger Adjustment
Account is opened in each of the sales ledger and bought ledger. Normally, the accounts of
individual debtors are maintained recording credit sales, cash collections, discount, bad debts etc.
in Debtors Ledger or Sales Ledger. The General Ledger Adjustment account in the Sales Ledger
gives a summary of all these transactions in reverse manner. Similarly in Bought ledger, general
ledger adjustment account gives a summary of all transactions of the Bought Ledger in a reverse
manner. Against these ledger adjustment accounts, two other adjustment accounts are maintained
in the General Ledger to complete the double entry.
(a) Bought Ledger Adjustment Account.
(b) Sales Ledger Adjustment Account.
These adjustment accounts are known as Control Accounts. The correctness of individual
balances in each ledger would be verified by extracting its balances and agreeing them with the
balance of the Control Account. The object of the system is to identify errors and to facilitate their
quick detection with the minimum effort.
8.2
Self Balancing Ledgers
Under sectional balancing system, only two additional accounts (i) Total Debtors Account; and (ii)
Total Creditors Account are kept in the General Ledger. Thus, only the totals account for each of
the subsidiary ledgers is opened in the General Ledger and no Control Account/Adjustment
Account is opened in the subsidiary ledger. It would mean that whereas accounts of individual
customers would be maintained in the Sales Ledger; in the General Ledger, the Total Debtors
Account would be posted by the (monthly) totals of various transactions with credit customers. The
balance in the Total Debtors Account should be equal to the total of balances shown by the
accounts of individual customers. A difference would show that there are some errors
somewhere. In the same way, the accuracy of individual supplier’s account may be checked by
comparing the total of their balances with the balance of the Total Creditors Account. A trial
balance can be prepared on the basis of General Ledger only, without using Debtors’ Ledger and
Creditors’ Ledger since the double entry is completed in the General Ledger itself.
C. State with reasons, whether the following statements are true or false:
1. Under the self balancing system the general ledger adjustment account is always opened in
the general ledger.
False- Under the self balancing system, general ledger adjustment account is opened in each of
the sales ledger and purchases ledger. In general ledger, two adjustment accounts namely sales
ledger adjustment account and purchases ledger adjustment accounts are maintained.
2. Purchase Ledger Adjustment Account under sectional balancing system is also known as
Creditors Ledger Control Account.
True- Purchase ledger adjustment account is in reality, total creditors account, hence also known
as creditors ledger control account under sectional balancing system.
3. In self balancing system, whenever a balance is transferred from an account in one ledger to
that in another, only one entry is recorded through the respective ledger.
False- Whenever a balance is transferred from one account in one ledger to that in another, the
entry is recorded through the journal. Also an additional entry is made in the control accounts for
recording the corresponding effect.

CHAPTER 9
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF NOT-FOR-PROFIT

ORGANISATIONS

¾ A non profit organization is a legal and accounting entity that is operated for the benefit of
the society as a whole, rather than for the benefit of a sole proprietor or a group of
partners or shareholders. Financial Statements of such organizations consists of:
• Receipts and Payments Account
• Income and Expenditure Account
• Balance Sheet
¾ The income and expenditure account is equivalent to the Profit and Loss Account of a
business enterprise. It is an account which is widely adopted by non-profit making
concerns and is prepared by following accrual principle. Only items of revenue nature
pertaining to the period of account are included therein.
¾ Educational institutions are different from non-trading organizations both in terms of their
sources of income as well as the freedom to choose their accounting years.
Accounting
Write short notes on:

1. Receipts and Expenditure Account.
Answer
In the case of professionals, Receipts and Payments Account, Income and Expenditure Account
and Balance Sheet are generally prepared to show the results of their activities and their financial
position. However, some professionals also prepare Receipts and Expenditure Account to show
final result of their professional activities.
Such an account includes all expenses on the basis of mercantile system, i.e. accrual basis but for
recording income, cash system is followed. In other words, to find out the profit, all outstanding
expenses are taken into account but the fees and charges that are outstanding or the work-in
progress are not considered. The reason for this treatment is that professionals consider it
imprudent and risky to recognize the outstanding fees. Therefore, the difference between the profit
as shown by Income and Expenditure Account and Receipts and Expenditure Account arises on
account of non-recognition of outstanding fees and charges and work-in-progress in Receipts and
Expenditure Account.
2. Receipts and Payments Account.
Answer
Receipts and Payments Account is an elementary form of account commonly adopted by non-profit
making concerns such as hospitals, clubs, societies etc. for recording cash and bank transactions.
It starts with the opening cash or bank balance (or an overdraft) and is debited with all sums
received and credited with amounts paid out whether or not such receipts and payments relate to
that period. All the receipts and payments whether of a revenue or capital nature are included in
the account. The balance of this account at the end of year represents the difference between the
amount received and paid out i.e. the balance of cash in hand and at the bank or bank overdraft.
Distinguish Between:
1. Receipt and Payment and Income and Expenditure account.
Answer
Non-profit making organizations such as public hospitals, public educational institutions, clubs etc.,
conventionally prepare Receipt and Payment Account and Income and Expenditure Account to
show periodic performance for a particular accounting period. The distinguishing features of both
the accounts can be summarized as:
Receipt and Payment Account is an elementary form of account consisting of a classified summary
of cash receipts and payments over a certain period together with cash balances at the beginning
9.2
Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organisations
and close of the period. The receipts are entered on the left hand side and payments on the right
hand side i.e. same sides as those on which they appear in cash book. All the receipts and
payments whether of a revenue or capital nature are included in this account. The balance of the
account at the end of a period represents the difference between the amount of cash received and
paid up. It is always in debit since it is made up of cash in hand and at bank.
Income and Expenditure Account resembles a Profit and Loss Account and serves the same
function in respect of a non-profit making concern as the last mentioned account does for a firm,
carrying on business or trade. Income and Expenditure Account is drawn up in the same form as
the Profit and Loss Account. Expenditure of revenue nature only is shown on the debit side, and
income and gains of revenue nature are shown on the credit side. Income and Expenditure
Account contains all the items of income and expenditure relevant to the period of account,
whether received or paid out as well as that which have fallen due for recovery or payment. Capital
receipts, prepayments of income and capital expenditures, prepaid expenses are excluded. It does
not start with any opening balance. The closing balance represents the amount by which the
income exceeds the expenditure only or vice-versa.
State with reasons, whether the following statement is true or false:
Receipts and Payments Account highlights total income and expenditure.
False- Receipts and payments account is a classified summary of cash receipts and payments
over a certain period together with cash and bank balances at the beginning and close of the
period.

CHAPTER 10
ACCOUNTS FROM INCOMPLETE RECORDS

¾ Single entry system is generally found in sole trading concerns or even in partnership
firms to some extent but never in case of limited liability companies on account of legal
requirements.
¾ There are three types of single entry systems:
• Pure Single Entry
• Simple Single Entry
• Quasi Single Entry
¾ Single entry system ignores the concept of duality and therefore, transactions are not
recorded in their two-fold aspects.
¾ Closing Capital = Opening Capital + Additional Capital – Drawings + Profits

1. Proposed dividend to paid up capital is 2:3.
2
i.e. Proposed dividend = of paid up capital
3
2
= Rs.1,000.00 thousand × = Rs. 666.67 thousand
3
2. Transfer to General Reserve is equal to proposed dividend i.e., 1:1.

Proposed dividend is Rs.666.67 thousand,
therefore general reserve is also Rs. 666.67 thousand.
3. Profit carried forward to Balance Sheet = 10% of Proposed Dividend
i.e., Rs. 666.67 thousand × 10% = Rs.66.66 thousand
4. 10% Loan implies interest on loan being 10%
i.e. Rs.60.00 thousand × 100 = Rs.600.00 thousand
10
5. Loan is half of current liabilities which means current liabilities are twice of loan
i.e., Rs.600.00 thousand × 2 = Rs.1,200.00 thousand
6. Current Assets 2
Current Ratio i.e., = 2:1 or
Current Liabilities 1
i.e. Current Assets = 2 x Current Liabilities

8. Provision for taxation is equal to current net profit i.e., = Rs.1,260.00 thousand
9. Gross profit being balancing figure of Profit and Loss A/c = Rs.3,220.00 thousand
10. Gross profit = 60% of sales i.e.
Rs.3,220.00 thousand = 60% of sales
100
Or, sales = Rs.3,220 thousand × = Rs. 5,366.67 thousand
60
11. Closing stock is 25% of sales i.e., 25% of Rs. 5,366.67 thousand = Rs.1,341.67 thousand
12. Purchases being balancing figure of Trading A/c = Rs.2,613.33 thousand
13. Debtors = Current Assets – Closing Stock – Cash at Bank
= Rs.2,400.00 thousand – Rs.1,341.67 thousand – Rs.125.00 thousand
= Rs.933.33 thousand
14. Balance of general reserve at the beginning of the year is twice of the amount transferred to
general reserve during the year i.e. 2 x Rs.666.67 thousand = Rs.1,333.34 thousand
15. Other fixed assets = Total of balance sheet (liabilities side)- Current assets – Plant and
machinery
i.e., Rs.4,866.67 thousand - Rs.2,400.00 thousand – Rs.1,400.00 thousand
= Rs.1,066.67 thousand

CHAPTER 13
INSURANCE CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF STOCK AND

LOSS OF PROFIT

A. 1. Claim for Loss of Stock
Claim for loss of stock can be studied under two heads:
a. Total Loss:
Amount of claim = Actual loss (If goods are fully insured but the amount of claim is
restricted to the policy amount).
b. Partial Loss:
I) Without Average clause:-
Claim =Lower of actual Loss or Sum Insured
II) With Average Clause:-
Claim = Loss of stock x sum insured / Insurable amount (Total Cost)
B. 2. Claim for Loss of Profit
The Loss of Profit Policy normally covers the following items:
(1) Loss of net profit
(2) Standing charges.
(3) Any increased cost of working
Gross Profit:
Net profit +Insured Standing charges OR
Insured Standing charges – Net Trading Loss (If any) X Insured Standing charges/All standing
charges of business
Net Profit: The net trading profit (exclusive of all capital) receipts and accretion and all outlay
properly (chargeable to capital) resulting from the business of the Insured at the premises after
due provision has been made for all standing and other charges including depreciation.
Insured Standing Charges: Interest on Debentures, Mortgage Loans and Bank Overdrafts,
Rent, Rates and Taxes (other than taxes which form part of net profit) Salaries of Permanent
Staff and Wages to Skilled Employees, Boarding and Lodging of resident Directors and/or
Accounting
Manager, Directors’ Fees, Unspecified Standing Charges [not exceeding 5% (five per cent) of
the amount recoverable in respect of Specified Standing Charges].
Rate of Gross Profit: The rate of Gross Profit earned on turnover during the financial year
immediately before the date of damage.
Annual Turnover: The turnover during the twelve months immediately before the damage.
Standard Turnover: The turnover during that period in the twelve months immediately before
the date of damage which corresponds with the Indemnity Period.
Indemnity Period: The period beginning with the occurrence of the damage and ending not
later than twelve months.
The insurance for Loss of Profit is limited to loss of gross profit due to
(i) reduction in turnover, and
(ii) increase in the cost of working.
13.2
Insurance Claims for Loss of Stock and Loss of Profit
A. Write short notes on:

1. Significance of ‘Average Clause’ in a fire insurance policy.
Answer
In order to discourage under-insurance, fire insurance policies often include an average clause.
The effect of these clause is that if the insured value of the subject matter concerned is less than
the total cost then the average clause will apply, that is, the loss will be limited to that proportion of
the loss as the insured value bears to the total cost.
The actual claim amount would therefore be determined by the following formula:
Insured value
Claim= × Loss suffered
Total cost
For example, if stock worth Rs. 4 lakhs is insured for Rs. 3 lakhs only and the loss incurred due to
fire amounts to Rs. 1,80,000, the claim admitted by the insurer will be Rs. 1,80,000 x
3,00,000/4,00,000 =Rs. 1,35,000.
The average clause applies only when the insured value is less than the total value of the insured
subject matter.
B. Practical Questions:
Question 1
X Ltd. has insured itself under a loss of profit policy for Rs. 3,63,000. The indemnity period under
the policy is six months. On 1st September, 1998 a fire occurred in the factory of X Ltd. and the
normal business was affected upto 1st March, 1999.
The following information is compiled for the year ended on 31st March, 1998:
Rs.
Sales 20,00,000
Insured standing charges 2,40,000
Uninsured standing charges 20,000
Net profit 1,20,000
Following further details of turnover are furnished.
(a) Turnover during the period of 12 months ending on the date of fire was 22,00,000.
(b) Turnover during the period of interruption was Rs. 2,25,000.
13.3
Accounting
(c) Actual turnover during the period from 1.9.1997 to 1.3.1998 during the preceding year
corresponding to the indemnity period was Rs. 7,50,000.
X Ltd. spent an amount of Rs. 40,000 as additional cost of working during the indemnity period. On
account of this additional expenditure:
(a) There was a saving of Rs. 15,000 in insured standing charges during the period of
indemnity.
(b) Reduced turnover avoided was Rs. 1,00,000. i.e. but for his expenditure, the turnover after
the date of fire would have been only Rs. 1,25,000.
A special clause in the policy stipulates that owing to the reasons acceptable to the insurer under
the special circumstances the following increases are to be made:
(a) Increase of turnover standard and actual by 10%.
(b) Increase in rate of gross profit by 2% from previous year’s level.
X Ltd. asks you to compute the claim for loss of profit. All calculations should be to the nearest
rupee.
Answer
Computation of loss of profit for insurance claim
(1) Rate of gross profit:
Net profit for the last financial year + Insured standing charges
× 100
Turnover for the last financial year
Rs.1,20,000 + Rs. 2,40,000

= × 100 18%
Rs, 20,00,000
Add: Adjustment for increase in gross profit rate= 2%
20%
(2) Calculation of short sales:
Rs.
Turnover from 1.9.97 to 1.3.98 7,50,000
Add: Adjustment for increase in turnover _75,000
Adjusted turnover 8,25,000

Rs.
(i) Actual expenses 40,000
(ii) Gross profit on sale generated by additional expenses
[(20/100)x Rs. 1,00,000] 20,000
Gross profit on annual adjusted turnover
(iii) Additional expenses ×
Gross profit on annual adjusted turnover + Uninsured standing charges
20% on Rs. 24,20,000 *

= Rs.40,000 ×
(20% on Rs. 24,20,000) + Rs. 20,000
Rs.4,84,000
= Rs. 40,000 x
Rs.5,04,000

(4) Amount of claim before application of average clause
Rs.
Gross profit on short sales (20% on Rs. 6,00,000) 1,20,000
Add: Allowable additional expenses 20,000
1,40,000
Less: Saving in insured standing charges 15,000
1,25,000
(5) Application of average clause
Rs.
Annual turnover i.e. turnover from 1.9.97 to 31.8 98 22,00,000
Add: Adjustment for increase in turnover (10% of Rs. 22,00,000) 2,20,000
24,20,000
Gross profit on annual adjusted turnover (20% on Rs. 24,20,000) 4,84,000
Loss of profit policy value 3,63,000
13.5
Accounting
Since the policy-value is less than gross profit on adjusted annual turnover, the average clause is
applicable.
Hence the amount of claim =Rs. 1,25,000x (Rs. 3,63,000/Rs. 4,84,000)
=Rs. 93,750

Question 4
On account of a fire on 15th June, 2002 in the business house of a company, the working remained
disturbed upto 15th December 2002 as a result of which it was not possible to affect any sales. The
company had taken out an insurance policy with an average clause against consequential losses
for Rs. 1,40,000 and a period of 7 months has been agreed upon as indemnity period. An
increased of 25% was marked in the current year’s sales as compared to the last year. The
company incurred an additional expenditure of Rs. 12,000 to make sales possible and made a
saving of Rs. 2,000 in the insured standing charges.
Rs.
Actual sales from 15th June, 2002 to 15th Dec, 2002 70,000
Sales from 15th June 2001 to 15th Dec 2001 2,40,000
Net profit for last financial year 80,000
Insured standing charges for the last financial year 70,000
Total standing charges for the last financial year 1,20,000
Turnover for the last financial year 6,00,000
Turnover for one year : 16 June 2001 to 15 June 2002 5,60,000
Answer
(1) Calculation of short sales:
Rs.
Sales for the period 15.6.2001 to 15.12.2001 2,40,000
Add: 25% increase in sales _60,000
Estimated sales in current year 3,00,000
Less: Actual sales from 15.6.2002 to 15.12.2002 _70,000
Short sales 2,30,000
(2) Calculation of gross profit:
Net profit + Insured standing charges
Gross profit= × 100
Turnover
Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 70,000
= × 100
Rs. 6,00,000
13.9
Accounting
Rs.1,50,000
= × 100
Rs.6,00,000
= 25%
(3) Calculation of loss of profit:
Rs. 2,30,000 x 25% =Rs. 57,500
(4) Calculation of claim for increased cost of working :
Least of the following:-
(i) Actual expense =Rs. 12,000
(ii) Expenditure x (Net profit+ Insured standing charges)/(Net profit + Total standing charges)
Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 70,000
=Rs. 12,000 x = Rs. 9,000
Rs. 80,000 + Rs. 1,20,000
(iii) Gross profit on sales generated due to additional expenses
=Rs. 70,000x 25% = Rs. 17,500
Rs. 9,000 being the least, shall be the increased cost of working.
(5) Calculation of total loss of profit:
Rs.
Loss of profit 57,500
Add: Increased cost of working 9,000
66,500
Less: Saving in standing charges 2,000
64,500
(6) Calculation of insurable amount = Adjusted sales x G. P. rate:
Rs.
Turnover from 16.6.2001 to 15.6.2002 5,60,000
Add: 25% increase 1,40,000
Adjusted sales 7,00,000
Insurable amount= Rs. 7,00,000 x 25% = Rs. 1,75,000
13.10
(7) Total claim for consequential loss of profit:

Insured amount
Total claim= × Total loss of profit
Insurable amount
Rs. 1,40,000
Total claim= x Rs. 64,500 = Rs. 51,600
Rs. 1,75,000
Alternatively claim for increased cost of working can also be calculated applying the
following method (first three calculations will be the same as in the earlier alternative).
(8) Calculation of claim for increased cost of working:
Least of the following :-
(i) Actual expense= Rs. 12,000
Gross profit on adjusted turnover
(ii) Expenditure x
Gross profit as above + Uninsured standing charges
(25/100) x Rs. 7,00,000

Rs. 12,000 x = Rs. 9,333 approx.
[(25/100) x Rs. 7,00,000] + Rs. 50,000
Where,
Adjusted turnover Rs.
Turnover from 16.06.2001 to 15.06.2002 5,60,000
Add: 25% increase 1,40,000
7,00,000
(iii) Gross profit on sales generated due to additional expenditure =25% x Rs. 70,000 =Rs.
17,500.
Rs. 9,333 being the least, shall be the increased cost of working.
(9) Calculation of total loss of profit
Rs.
Loss of profit 57,500
Add: Increased cost of working 9,333
66,833
Less: Saving in insured standing charges 2,000
64,833

CHAPTER 14
ISSUES IN PARTNERSHIP ACCOUNTS

¾ Partnership is defined as the relationship between persons who have agreed to share the
profit or loss of a business carried on by all or any of them acting for all.
¾ Two methods of accounting
• Fixed capital method
• Fluctuating capital method.
¾ Goodwill is the value of reputation of a firm in respect of profits expected in future over and
above the normal rate of profits.
¾ Necessity for valuation of goodwill in a firm arises in the following cases:
• When the profit sharing ratio amongst the partners is changed;
• When a new partner is admitted;
• When a partner retires or dies, and
• When the business is dissolved or sold.
¾ Methods for valuation of goodwill:-
(1) Average profit basis :
Total Pr ofit
Average Profit =
Number of years
Goodwill = Average Profit x No. of Years’ purchased
The profits taken into consideration are adjusted with abnormal losses, abnormal
gains, errors, return on non-trade investments and errors.
(2) Super profit basis :
Calculate Capital Employed
Assets …….
Less: Liability …….
Accounting
Capital Employed …....

Find the normal Rate of Return(NRR)
Find Normal Profit=Capital Employed X Normal rate of Return
Find Average Actual Profit
Find Super Profit=Average Actual Profit-Normal Profit
Find Goodwill=Super Profit X Number of Years Purchased
(3) Annuity basis :
Goodwill=Super Profit X Annuity Number
(4) Capitalization basis :
Super Pr ofit
Goodwill =
Normal Rate of Re turn

Issues in Partnership Accounts
Question 1
A, B and C were partners of a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 4 : 3. The
Balance Sheet of the firm, as at 31st March, 1998 was as under :
Capital Accounts : Fixed Assets 1,00,000
A 48,000 Current Assets :
B 64,000 Stock 30,000
C 48,000 1,60,000 Debtors 60,000
Reserve 20,000 Cash and Bank 30,000 1,20,000
Creditors 40,000
2,20,000 2,20,000
The firm had taken a Joint Life Policy for Rs. 1,00,000; the premium periodically paid was
charged to Profit and Loss Account. Partner C died on 30th September, 1998. It was agreed
between the surviving partners and the legal representatives of C that :
(i) Goodwill of the firm will be taken at Rs. 60,000.
(ii) Fixed Assets will be written down by Rs. 20,000.
(iii) In lieu of profits, C should be paid at the rate of 25% per annum on his capital as on 31st
March, 1998.
Policy money was received and the legal heirs were paid off. The profits for the year ended
31st March, 1999, after charging depreciation of Rs. 10,000 (depreciation upto 30th September
was agreed to be Rs. 6,000) were Rs. 48,000.
Partners’ Drawings Accounts showed balances as under :
A Rs. 18,000 (drawn evenly over the year)
B Rs. 24,000 (drawn evenly over the year)
C (up-to-date of death) Rs. 20,000
On the basis of the above figures, please indicate the entitlement of the legal heirs of C,
assuming that they had not been paid anything other then the share in the Joint Life Policy.

(3) Application of Section 37 of the Partnership Act

Legal heirs of C have not been paid anything other than the share in joint life policy. The
amount due to the deceased partner carries interest at the mutually agreed upon rate. In the
absence of any agreement, the representatives of the deceased partner can receive at their
14.4
option interest at the rate of 6% per annum or the share of profit earned for the amount due to
the deceased partner.
Thus, the representatives of C can opt for
Either,
(i) Interest on Rs. 52,000 for 6 months @ 6% p.a. = Rs. 1,560
Or
(ii) Profit earned out of unsettled capital (in the second half year ended 31st March, 1999)
52,000
Rs. 25,000 × = Rs. 7,027 (approx.)
57,000 + 76,000 + 52,000
In the above case, it would be rational to assume that the legal heirs would opt for
Rs. 7,027.
(4) Amount due to legal heirs of C Rs.
Balance in C’s Executor’s account 52,000
Amount of profit earned out of unsettled capital [calculated in (3)] 7,027
Amount due 59,027
Question 2
A, B and C were partners, sharing Profits and Losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2 respectively. On
31st March, 2000 their Balance Sheet stood as follows :
A’s capital 7,79,000 Plant and Machinery 13,62,000
B’s capital 7,07,800 Furniture and Fittings 2,36,000
C’s capital 6,86,200 Stock 7,02,000

Cash at Bank 1,73,000
26,64,000 26,64,000
On 31st July, 2000 A died. According to partnership deed, on the death of a partner, the capital
account of the deceased partner was to be credited with :
(i) his share of profit for the relevant part of the year of death calculated on the basis of
profit earned during the immediately preceding accounting year, and
14.5
Accounting
(ii) his share of goodwill

Goodwill was to be valued at two years’ purchase of the average profits of immediately
preceding three accounting years. The profits, as per books of account were as follows:
Rs.
For accounting year ended 31st March, 1998 3,29,000
However, while going through the books of account on A’s death, it came to light that Rs.
30,000 worth of wages were spent on installation of a new machinery, but the same was not
capitalized; the machinery was put into operation on 1st October, 1999. Depreciation was
provided on the machinery @ 20% per annum.
On 1st October, 2000 A’s son D was admitted into partnership with immediate effect on the
following terms :
(a) D would get one-fourth share in the profit of the firm, while the relative profit sharing
ratio between B and C would remain unchanged.
(b) The final balance of A’s capital account would be credited to D’s capital account
(c) An adjustment would be made in the Capital Accounts for D’s share of goodwill. The
basis of valuation of firm’s goodwill would be the same as was adopted at the time of the
death of his father.
On 31st March, 2001 the Profit and Loss Account of the firm showed that the firm had earned a
profit of Rs. 4,16,000 for the year. The respective drawings accounts showed that while B and
C had withdrawn Rs. 60,000 each during the year, D’s drawings totalled Rs. 30,000. The
Drawings Accounts are closed at the end of the year by transfer to respective capital
accounts.
You are required to :
(i) Prepare a statement showing distribution of profits for the accounting year ended 31st
March, 2001; and
(ii) Pass journal entries for all the transactions relating to death of the partner. D’s
admission into partnership, and at the end of the year relating to transfer of Drawings
Accounts and distribution of profit for the year.

Notes:
1. It is assumed that profit was earned uniformly throughout the year. Although notional
profit was calculated for the first four months, it is to be transferred from the current
year’s profit (as calculated in working note 3). The question requires that A’s share of
profit for this period is to be calculated on the basis of profit earned during year ended
31st March. 2000. The balance amount after calculating his share has been credited to B
and C in ratio 3 : 2.
2. It is assumed that drawings were made evenly throughout the year. However, single entry
has been given at year end in the main solution relating to transfer of drawings and
distribution of profit but the Partners’ capital accounts shown in the working notes include
the entries of drawings and distribution of profit of respective dates within the year.

Profits/ Losses in the ratio of Manish 60 percent and Paresh 40 percent. 50 percent of Jatin’s
Loan was repaid on 1.1.2002 and it was agreed that of the amount then remaining due to him
a sum of Rs. 80,000 should remain as loan to partnership and the balance to be carried
forward as ordinary trading liability. The following adjustments were agreed to be made to the
above mentioned Balance Sheet:
(i) Rs. 10,000 should be written off from the premises.
(ii) Plant and Machinery was revalued at Rs. 58,000.
(iii) Provision for doubtful debts to be increased by Rs. 1,200

(v) Rs. 4,000 to be written off on stocks.
(vi) Provide Rs. 1,200 for professional charges in connection with revaluation.
As per the deed of partnership, in the event of the retirement of a partner, goodwill was to be
valued at an amount equal to one year’s purchase of the average profits of the preceding
three years on the date of retirement. Before determining the said average profits a notional
amount of Rs. 80,000 should be charged for remuneration to partners. The necessary profits
before charging such remuneration were:
Year ending 30.12.1999 Rs. 1,44,000
Year ending 31.12.2000 Rs. 1,68,000
Year ending 31.12.2001 Rs. 1,88,200 (As per draft accounts)
It was agreed that, for the purpose of valuing goodwill, the amount of profit for the year 2001
be recomputed after charging the loss on revaluation in respect of premises and stock, the
unprovided expenses (except professional expenses) and increase in the provision for
doubtful debts. The continuing partners decided to eliminate goodwill account from their
books.

Working Notes:
1. Calculation of new profit and loss sharing ratio
C will get 1/4 th share in the new profit sharing ratio.
Therefore, remaining share will be 1-1/4 =3/4
Share of A will be 3/4 x 2/3 = 2/4 i.e. 1/2
Share of B will be 3/4 x 1/3 = 1/4
New ratio will be
A:B:C
1/2 : 1/4 : 1/4
2 : 1: 1
2. Calculation of closing capital of C
Closing capitals of A & B after all adjustments are:
A = Rs.11,70,000
B = Rs. 5,85,000
Since B’s capital is less than A’s capital, therefore B’s capital is taken as base.
Hence, C’s closing capital should be Rs.5,85,000 i.e. at par with B (as per new profit and
loss sharing ratio)
14.24
3. Adjustment entry for goodwill∗
Partners Goodwill as per old ratio Goodwill as per new ratio Effect
A 70,000 52,500 + 17,500 -

C - 26,250 - -26,250
1,05,000 1,05,000 26,250 26,250
Adjustment entry will be:
C’s Capital A/c Dr. 26,250

To B’s Capital A/c 8,750
∗
As per para 36 of AS 10, ‘Accounting for fixed Assets,’ goodwill should be recorded in the books only when some
consideration in money or money’s worth has been paid for it. Therefore, the goodwill raised at the time of admission of C
is to be written off in new ratio among all partners including new partner, C.
