(b) Accounts of R Ltd. show a net profit of `7,20,000 for the third quarter of 2014 after
incorporating the following:
(i) Bad debts of `40,000 incurred during the year. 50% of the bad debts have been
deferred to the next quarter.
(ii) Extra ordinary loss of `35,000 incurred during the quarter has been fully
recognized in this quarter.
(iii) Additional depreciation of `45,000 resulting from the change in the method of
charge of depreciation.
Ascertain the correct quarterly income.
(c) A company with a turnover of `500 crores and an annual advertising budget of `4
crore had taken up the marketing of a new product. It was estimated that the
company would have a turnover of `50 crores from the new product. The company
had debited to its Profit and Loss account the total expenditure of `4 crore incurred on
extensive special initial advertisement campaign for the new product. Is the
procedure adopted by the company correct?
(d) J Ltd. has set up its business in a designated backward area which entitles the
company for subsidy of 25% of the total investment from Government of India. The
company has invested `160 crores in the eligible investments. The company is eligible
for the subsidy and has received `40 crores from the government in February 2015. The
company wants to recognize the said subsidy as its income to improve the bottom line
of the company.
Do you approve the action of the company in accordance with the Accounting
Standard?
Answer:
1.(a)
The term IFRS refers to the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by International
Accounting Standard Board (IASB). It also encompasses the International Accounting
Standards (IAS) issued by the International Accounting Standard Committee (IASC).
Interpretations of IASs and IFRSs are developed by the International Financial Reporting
Interpretations Committee (IFRIC). IFRIC is the new name for the Standing Interpretations
Committee (SIC) approved by the IASC Foundation Trustees. IFRS includes these
interpretations also.
1.(b)
In this case, the quarterly income has not been correctly stated as per AS-25 ‗Interim Financial
Reporting‘. The quarterly income should be adjusted and restated as follows:
Bad debt of `40,000 has been incurred during the current quarter. Out of this, the company
has deferred 50% i.e. `20,000 to next quarter. This is not correct. `20,000 therefore should be
deducted from `7,20,000.
Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 1
Revisionary Test Paper_Final_Syllabus 2012_Dec 2015
The treatment of extraordinary loss of `35,000 being recognized in the same quarter and
recognized the additional depreciation of `45,000 in the quarter is correct and in tune with
AS-25, so no adjustment required for the two items.
The company should report the quarterly income as `7,20,000 - `20,000 = `7,00,000
1. (c)
According to AS-26 ‗Intangible Assets‘ expenditure of an intangible item should be
recognized as an expense when it is incurred unless it forms part of the cost of an intangible
asset.
In the given case, advertisement expenditure of `4 crores had been taken up for the
marketing of a new product which may provide future economic benefits to an enterprise by
having a turnover of `50 crores. Here, no tangible asset or other asset is acquired or created
that can be recognized. Therefore, the accounting treatment by the company of debiting
the entire advertisement expenditure of `4 crores to the Profit and Loss Account of the year is
correct.
1.(d)
The action of the company is not justified in view of AS-12 ‗Accounting for Government
Grants‘.
Where the government grants are of the nature of promoter contribution i.e. they are given
with reference to the total investment in an undertaking or by way of promoters contribution
towards its total capital outlay and no repayment is ordinary expected in respect thereof the
grants are treated as capital reserve, which can be neither distributed as dividend nor
considered as deterred income.
Therefore it is inappropriate to recognize Government Grants in the P&L statement, since they
are not earned but represent an incentive provided by Government without related cost.
2. (a) Z Ltd. began construction of a new plant on 1st April 2011 and obtained a special loan
of `16 lakhs to finance the construction of the plant. The rate of interest on loan was
10% per annum. The expenditure that was made on the project of plant construction
was as follows:
1-4-2011 20,00,000
1-8-2011 48,00,000
1-1-2012 8,00,000
The Company‘s other outstanding non specific loan was `92,00,000 at an interest of
12% per annum. The construction of the plant was completed on 31.3.2012. You are
required to calculate the amount of interest to be capitalized as per the provision of
AS-16 of the borrowing cost (including cost).

Answer:
2. (b) An enterprise should disclose for each class of contingent liability at the balance sheet
date
- A brief description of the nature of the contingent liability where practicable.
- An estimate of the amount as per measurement principles as prescribed for
provision.
- Indications of the uncertainties relating ti outflow
- The possibility of any reimbursement
Where any of the information required as above is not disclosed because it is not
practicable to do so, that fact should be stated
Answer:
2. (c) Classification criteria —
Management is committed to a plan to sell
The asset is available for immediate sale
An active programme to locate a buyer is initiated
The sale is highly probable, within one year of classification as held for sale
The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a sales price reasonable in relation
to its fair value
Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that plan will be
significantly changed or withdrawn.
The criteria sale is highly probable within one year of classification as held for sale
needs is not evidenced when the management is indecisive whether the particular
asset will be sold or leased out.

3. (a) ADS Ltd. has three segments viz. A, D and S. The total assets of the company is `15
crores. The assets of Segment A is `1.85 crores, Segment D is `6.15 crores and Segment
S is `7.00 crores. Assets of each segment include deferred tax assets of `0.50 crores in
A, `0.40 crores in D and `0.30 crores in S. The accountant of ADS Ltd. contends that all
segments are reportable segments. Based on segment assets criteria, determine the
veracity of the contention of the accountant.
(b) X Ltd. purchased a fixed asset four years ago for `300 lakhs and depreciates it at 10%
p.a. on straight line method. At the end of the fourth year it has revalued the asset at
`150 lakhs and has written off the loss on revaluation to the profit and loss account.
However on the date of revaluation, the market price is `135 lakhs and expected
disposal cost are `6 lakhs. What will be the treatment in respect of impairment loss on
the basis that fair value for revaluation purpose is determined by market value and the
value in use is estimated at `120 lakhs
Answer:
3. (a) Statement showing percentage of Segment net assets to total assets of the company
` in crores
Particulars Segments Total
A D S
Segment Assets 1.85 6.15 7.00 15.00
Less: Deferred Tax Assets (0.50) (0.40) (0.30) (1.20)
Net Segment assets 1.35 5.75 6.70 13.80
Percentage to total net 9.78% 41.67% 48.55% 100%
segment assets
As per AS-17 Segment Reporting,one of the basis of segment asset criteria for
identification of a business segment or geographical segment as a reportable segment
is when its segment assets are 10% or more of the total assets of all segments.
Accordingly, the reportable segments will be segments B and C only. Therefore, the
contention of the accountant that all the segments are reportable segments is not
tenable.

ii. After sub-division, each Shareholder shall surrender to the Company 95% of his holding,
for the purpose of reissue to Debentureholders and Creditors so far as may be required,
and otherwise for cancellation.
iii. Of those surrendered, 46,000 Shares of ` 5 each shall be converted into 8% Participating
Preference Shares of ` 5 each fully paid.

18. (a) ‘Communities and stakeholders generally are likely to be more supportive of
companies that communicate openly and honestly about their management and
performance in relation to environmental, social and economic factors.‘- Justify.
18. (a)
Attraction and retention of high calibre employees - Existing and prospective employees
have expectations about corporate environmental, social and economic behaviour, and
include such factors in their decisions. The publication of TBL-related information can play
a role in positioning an employer as an 'employer of choice' which can enhance
employee loyalty, reduce staff turnover and increase a company's ability to attract high
quality employees.
Improved access to the investor market - A growing number of investors are including
environmental and social factors within their decision making processes. The growth in
socially responsible investment and shareholder activism is evidence of this. Responding
to investor requirements through the publication of TBL-related information is a way of
ensuring that the company is aligning its communication with this stakeholder group, and
therefore enhancing its attractiveness to this segment of the investment market.
Cost savings - TBL reporting often involves the collection, collation and analysis of data on
resource and materials usage, and the assessment of business processes. For example, this
can enable a company to better identify opportunities for cost savings through more
efficient use of resources and materials.
Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 46
Revisionary Test Paper_Final_Syllabus 2012_Dec 2015
Creating a sound basis for stakeholder dialogue - Publication of TBL reporting provides a
powerful platform for engaging in dialogue with stakeholders. Understanding stakeholder
requirements and alignment of business performance with such requirements is
fundamental to business success. TBL reporting demonstrates to stakeholders the
company's commitment to managing all of its impacts, and, in doing so, establishes a
sound basis for stakeholder dialogue to take place.
In addition to the benefits obtained through superior relationships with key stakeholder
groups, the decision to be publicly accountable for environmental and social
performance is often recognised as a powerful driver of internal behavioural change.
The availability of relevant information on economic, environmental and social
performance that previously may not have been collected and evaluated in a readily
understood manner may enable executives to identify and focus attention on specific
aspects of corporate performance where improvement is required.
TBL reports usually contain both qualitative and quantitative information. In order for all
reported information to be credible, regardless of whether the information is qualitative or
quantitative, it is suggested that it should possess the following characteristics. These
include:
Reliability - information should be accurate, and provide a true reflection of the activities
and performance of the company.
Usefulness - the information must be relevant to both internal and external stakeholders,
and be relevant to their decision-making processes.
Auditability - alignment with the trend towards external verification requires that all
statements and data within the report be able to be readily substantiated.

Post-balance sheet events are those events, both favourable and unfavourable, which occur
between the balance sheet date and the date on which the financial statements are
approved by the board of directors.
Adjusting events are post-balance sheet events which provide additional evidence of
conditions existing at the balance sheet date. They include events which because of
statutory or conventional requirements are reflected in financial statements.
Non-adjusting events are post-balance sheet events which concern conditions which did not
exist at the balance sheet date.
The date on which the financial statements are approved by the board of directors is the
date the board of directors formally approves a set of documents as the financial statements.

An analysis showing how profit or loss and equity would have been affected by changes
in relevant risk variable (interest rate, foreign currency exchange rates and other prices)
that were reasonably possible at reporting date.
Financial instruments should be grouped according to its class, for which an entity should
consider at a minimum, whether instruments are measured at amortised cost or fair value
and whether these are within or outside the scope of this standard. Such classification
should render better understanding of the significance, impact, nature and extent of risks
associated with the financial instruments to the users of financial statements easier.

Notes:
A. The vesting of Options is subject to satisfaction of two conditions viz, service condition
of continuous employment for 3 years and market condition that the share price at
the end of 2013-14 is not less than `70.
B. Since the share price on 31.03.2014 was `68, the actual vesting is nil. Despite this, the
company should recognize the value of option over 3-year vesting period from 2011-
12 to 2013-14.
C. At the end of the three year period, the balance in Options Outstanding will stand
transferred to General Reserve, since the options couldn‘t vest.

1. Computation of Operating Profit Before Taxes
EBIT EBIT x
Assuming EBIT = x, Financial Leverage = 1.1 =
EBT EBIT Less Interest x Less `60 lakhs
Therefore, EBIT = x = 1.1x less 66 lakhs
0.1x = `66 lakhs, this implies x = `660 lakhs = Operating Profit (EBIT)
Therefore, Operating Profit after taxes = `660 lakhs × (1- tax rate of 30%) = `462 lakhs.

Answer:
24. (a)
The relationship between EVA and Market Value Added is more complicated than the
one between EVA and Firm Value
• The market value of a firm reflects not only the Expected EVA of Assets in place but also
the Expected EVA from future projects
• To the extent that the actual economic value added is smaller than the expected EVA
the market value can decrease even though the EVA is higher.
This does not imply that increasing EVA is bad from a corporate finance stand point. In fact,
given a choice between delivering a ―below-expectation‖ EVA and no EVA at all, the firm
should deliver the ―below- expectation‖ EVA. It does suggest that the correlation between
increasing year-to-year EVA and market value will be weaker for firms with high anticipated
growth (and excess returns ) than for firms with low or no anticipated growth. It does suggest
also that ―investment strategies‖ based upon EVA have to be carefully constructed,
especially for firms where there is an expectation built into prices of ―high‖ surplus returns.

At a particular point in time, a firm's MVA is equal to the discounted present value of the
annual EVA it is expected to generate. Thus, a firm's MVA communicates the market's
evaluation on the net present value of that firm's current and expected capital investment
projects.

(i) Recognition of Group Aspect: This model is based on the group aspect i.e. the fact that
humans work as group in an organisation. Here, a Group refers to a set of homogenous
employees working in the same department or in different departments.
(ii) Procedure: This model calculated the Present Values of all existing employees in each
rank as under –
Step Procedure
2 Estimate the probability that an employee will be in his rank within the organisation or
terminated/ promoted in the next period. Estimate this probability for a specified time period.
3 Ascertain the Economic Value of an employee in a specified rank during each time period.
4 Multiply the above three factors and apply an appropriate discount rate to arrive at the
Present Value of existing employees.
(iii) Advantages: The appreciation for this model stems from the following –
(a) I t recognises the Group concept since an organisation consists of people working
together.
(b) It is easier to estimate the percentage of people in a group likely to continue or leave
the organisation, rather than on an individual basis.
(c) Having the group of employees as a valuation base simplifies the process of valuing
human resources.
(iv) Disadvantages: The disadvantage of the Group Valuation Model that it ignores the
special skills and qualities of employees in specific ranks. The exit of a single important
person in a certain group may affect the valuation of that entire group.

XBRL, a more powerful and flexible version of XML, has been defined specifically to meet
the requirements of business and financial information. It enables unique identifying tags
to be applied to items of financial data, such as say ‗net profit‘ or say ―Asset‖. For
example let us take the item ―Asset‖. It is defined in XBRL as follows:
<Asset>1000</Asset>
The word Asset together with brackets ―<‖ and ―>‖ is called a tag. Opening tags are
denoted by <…> while closing tags are denoted by </…>.
However besides the numerical value of the asset, the computer needs to be told about
accounting perspective of the term ―Asset‖, its normal balance nature of ―Debit‖ as well
its relationship with other financial terms like Equity or Liabilities etc.
This is done by the powerful XBRL tags. Besides being identifiers, these tags provide a
range of information about the item, such as whether it is a monetary item, percentage or
fraction. XBRL allows labels in any language to be applied to items, as well as accounting
references or other subsidiary information.
XBRL can show how items are related to one another and can thus represent how they
are calculated. It can also identify whether they fall into particular groupings for
organisation or presentation purposes. Most importantly, XBRL is easily extensible, so
companies and other organisations can adapt it to meet a variety of special
requirements.
The rich and powerful structure of XBRL allows very efficient handling of business data by
computer software. It supports all the standard tasks involved in compiling, storing and
using business data. Such information can be converted into XBRL by suitable mapping
processes or generated in XBRL by software. It can then be searched, selected,
exchanged or analysed by computer, or published for ordinary viewing.
Working of XBRL is governed mainly by two main features namely Specifications and
Taxonomies.

The Committee consists of not more than 22 members comprising 15 members elected by
Lok Sabha every year from amongst its members according to the principle of proportional
representation by means of single transferable vote and not more than 7 members of
Rajya Sabha elected by that House in like manner are associated with the Committee. The
Chairman is appointed by the Speaker from amongst its members of Lok Sabha. The
Speaker, for the first time, appointed a member of the Opposition as the Chairman of the
Committee for 1967-68. This practice has been continued since then. A Minister is not
eligible to be elected as a member of the Committee. If a member after his election to the
Committee is appointed a Minister, he ceases to be a member of the Committee from the
date of such appointment. The Public Accounts Committee consists of fifteen Members
elected by Lok Sabha every year from amongst its members according to the principle of
proportional representation by means of single transferable vote. Seven members of Rajya
Sabha elected by that House in like manner are associated with the Committee. This
system of election ensures that each Party/Group is represented on the Committee in
proportion to its respective strength in the two Houses.
26.(c)
The role of the Public Accounts Committee is to assess the integrity, economy, efficiency
and effectiveness of government financial management. It achieves this by:
A significant amount of the committee‘s work involves following up matters raised in the
reports to Parliament by the Auditor - General. This ensures that public sector financial
issues are scrutinised for the benefit of the Parliament and the public.
While scrutinising the Appropriation Accounts of the Government of India and the Reports
of the Comptroller and Auditor General thereon, it is the duty of the Committee to satisfy
itself—
– that the moneys shown in the accounts as having been disbursed were legally
available for and applicable to the service or purpose to which they have been
applied or charged;
– that the expenditure conforms to the authority which governs it; and
– that every re-appropriation has been made in accordance with the provisions made
in this behalf under rules framed by competent authority.

(b) Describe the procedures adopted by the GASAB for formulating standards.
(c) State the IGAS notified by Government of India and IGAS under consideration.
Answer:
27.(a)
27.(b)
The following procedures are adopted by the GASAB for formulating Standards:
The GASAB Secretariat identifies areas for Standard formulation and places them
before the GASAB for selection and approval. While doing so, the Secretariat places
before the GASAB all important suggestions, references, proposals received from
various sections of the Union and State Governments, members of GASAB, members
of Civil Society, Professional Bodies and other stakeholders. The priorities, as approved
by the GASAB, guide further functioning of the GASAB Secretariat.
The GASAB Secretariat thereafter prepares the discussion paper on the selected
issues for consideration of the GASAB.
While doing so, the Secretariat studies the existing rules, codes and principles as
internal sources, and documents/pronouncements/Standards issued by other
national and international Standard setting and regulatory bodies. The Secretariat
may also hold consultation with such other persons as are considered necessary for
this purpose.
On consideration of the Discussion paper and the comments received thereon, the
GASAB finalizes the Exposure Draft.
Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 60
Revisionary Test Paper_Final_Syllabus 2012_Dec 2015
The GASAB may constitute Standing Committee and/or Task based Groups from
amongst the Members or their representatives to consider specific areas before
finalization.
The Exposure Draft, as approved for issue by the GASAB, are widely circulated in the
public domain and forwarded to all stakeholders. The Exposure Draft is required to be
hosted at the website of GASAB.
Based on the comments received on the Exposure Draft, the Standards are finalized
by the GASAB. The Standards, as finalized, are forwarded to the Government for
notification in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of India.
The meetings are normally chaired by the Chairperson. In unforeseen circumstances
when Chairperson is unable to attend, the senior-most member from the Central
Government will chair the meeting. The Comptroller & Auditor General of India will be
kept informed of the important developments in the meetings of GASAB.
The GASAB may meet as often as is deemed necessary but generally not less than four
times in a financial year. The decisions of the GASAB may preferably be by general
consensus. In case differences persist, the decision shall be on the basis of voting favoring
the recommendation. The dissenting views should also be forwarded to the Government
along with the recommendations.
GASAB allows an exposure period of 90 days for inviting comments on Exposure Draft.

Introduction
1. The Government of India has been empowered under proviso (2) of Article 293 of the
Constitution of India to make loans to the States, subject to such conditions as may be
Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 61
Revisionary Test Paper_Final_Syllabus 2012_Dec 2015
laid down by or under any law made by Parliament, any sums required for the purpose
of making such loans being chargeable to the Consolidated Fund of India.
2. The Union Government has been providing financial assistance to the State
Governments, a substantial portion of which is in the form of loans. These loans are
advanced to the States both in the form of plan and non-plan assistance intended for
both developmental and non-developmental purposes. Loans are also provided by the
Union Government to Foreign Governments, Government companies and Corporations,
Non-Government institutions and Local bodies. The Union Government also disburses
recoverable advances to Government servants.
3. The State Governments disburse loans to Government Companies, Corporations, Local
Bodies, Autonomous Bodies, Cooperative Institutions, Statutory Corporations, quasi-public
bodies and other non-Government/private institutions for developmental and socio-
economic purposes. The State Governments also disburse recoverable advances to
Government servants
Objectives
4. The objective of the Standard is to lay down the norms for Recognition, Measurement,
Valuation and Reporting in respect of Loans and Advances made by the Union and the
State Governments in their respective Financial Statements to ensure complete,
accurate, realistic and uniform accounting practices, and to ensure adequate
disclosure on Loans and Advances made by the Governments consistent with best
international practices.
Scope
5. This Standard applies to Loans and Advances given by the Government for incorporation
and presentation in the Financial Statements of the Government. Financial Statements
will not be considered as giving fair and complete picture of Loans and Advances unless
they comply with these standards. This standard will apply only to government accounts
being maintained on a cash basis.
Objectives
The purpose of this Standard is to lay down the principles to be followed in presentation
of general purpose financial reports of Governments and to prescribe the minimum
requirements relating to structure and contents of financial statements of government
prepared under cash basis of accounting.
The statement of receipts and disbursements during the year and information about cash
flows of an Entity enable stakeholders to evaluate the likely sources and uses of cash and
the ability of an Entity to generate adequate cash in the future. This information also
indicates the expenditure priorities of the Entity in the delivery of goods and services as
well as the impact of the taxation policies of the Entity. Stakeholders can then assess the
sustainability of the Entity‘s activities (whether future budgetary resources will be sufficient
to sustain public services and to meet obligations as they become due) and appraise
financial accountability.
All Financial Statements need to be standardized to obtain optimal information, to
ensure comparability with the Entity‘s own financial Statements of previous periods and
with those of other entities. The basis and policies of accounting need to be uniform to
permit meaningful consolidation to develop Whole of Government Accounts. Desirable
attributes need to defined to obtain a basic standard for financial reporting.
To achieve these objectives, this Standard sets out the financial elements for the
presentation of financial reports prepared under the cash basis of accounting. It also
requires that the selection of accounting policy should ensure certain qualitative

Government Departments. The functions of the Committee are:-
b. to examine the reports of the Comptroller & Auditor General on public undertakings.
Academics Department, The Institute of Cost Accountants of India (Statutory Body under an Act of Parliament) Page 64
Revisionary Test Paper_Final_Syllabus 2012_Dec 2015
c. to examine the efficiency of public undertakings and to see whether they are being
managed in accordance with sound business principles and prudent commercial
practices.
The examination of public enterprises by the Committee takes the form of comprehensive
appraisal or evaluation of performance of the undertaking. It involves a thorough
examination,including evaluation of the policies, programmes and financial working of the
undertaking.
The objective of the Financial Committees, in doing so, is not to focus only on the individual
irregularity, but on the defects in the system which led to such irregularity, and the need for
correction of such systems and procedures.
