Therefore, the accounting treatment done by the enterprises is wrong i.e. book value of
INR.1,44,500 will not be written off over the remaining useful life of machinery i.e. 5 years
PR

Note: It is assumed that when the company changed method of depreciation from WDV to SLM, it
re-calculated the depreciation amount on the basis of useful life and has not continued with rate of
depreciation as applied in WDV method.

c) As per para 11 of AS 9 “Revenue Recognition”, in a transaction involving the sale of goods,


performance should be regarded as being achieved when the following conditions are fulfilled:
(i) the seller of goods has transferred to the buyer the property in the goods for a price or all
significant risks and rewards of ownership have bee transferred to the buyer and the seller
retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree usually associated with
ownership; and
(ii) no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived
from the sale of the goods.
In the given case, transfer of property in goods results in or coincides with the transfer of
significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer. Also, the sale price has been recovered
by the seller. Hence, the sale is complete but delivery has been postponed at buyer’s request. A
Ltd. should recognize the entire sale of INR.1,00,000 (INR.25,000 x 4) and no part of the same is
to be treated as Advance Receipt against Sales.

a) In modern time, computerized accounting systems are used in various areas. The significance of the
computerized accounting system is as follows:
1) Increase speed, accuracy and security - In computerized accounting system, the speed with which
accounts can be maintained is several fold higher. Besides speed, level of accuracy is also high in
computerized accounting system.
2) Reduce errors - In computerized accounting, the possibilities of errors are also very less unless
some mistake is made while recording the data.
3) Immediate information - In this system, with an entry of a transaction, corresponding ledger

Y
posting is done automatically. Hence, trial balance will also be automatically tallied and the user will
get the information immediately.

EM
4) Avoid duplication of work - Computerized accounting systems also remove the duplication of the
work.
AD
b) 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:
1) 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.
AC

2) In the pooling of interests method all the reserves of th 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,
E

except the statutory reserves, of the transferor company are not aggregated with those of the
transferee company.
IM

3) 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
PR

net assets taken over is treated by the transferee company as goodwill or capital reserve.
4) 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.

c) Depreciation per year = INR.60,000 / 10 = INR.6,000


Depreciation on SLM charged for three years= INR.6,000 x 3 years = INR.18,000
Book value of the Computer at the end of third year = INR.60,000 – INR.18,000= INR.42,000.
Remaining useful life as per previous estimate = 7 years
Remaining useful life as per revised estimate = 5 years
Depreciation from the fourth year onwards = INR.42,000 / 5 = INR.8,400 per annum

SUGGESTED ANSWERS
1.
a) As per Section 2(d) of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, it is not necessary that consideration must be move
from promisor only, thus it may be moved by any other person including a stranger to the transaction.
The problem is based on a case of "Chinnava v Ramawa" is which the Court clearly observed that the
consideration need not necessarily move from the party itself, it may move from any person. Thus M is
liable to pay the said sum to N and cannot deny her liability on the ground that consideration did not
move from N.

b) Generally, people resist change in an organization. Even after there are some people who accept or
welcome change due to the following reasons:
(i) Personal Gain: People will be more likely to accept change when they see the possibility that they will
gain in some of the following areas:-
 Increased security
 Money

Y
 More authority
 Status/Prestige

EM
 Better Working Conditions
 Self-Satisfaction
 Better Personal Contracts
 Less time and efforts
AD
(ii) Other factors:
 Provide a new challenge
 Respects/like the source
AC

 Likes the way change is being communicated


 Reduces boredom
 Provides opportunity for input
 Improve future
E

Perception, that the change is necessary.

c)
(i) True. The root meaning of the term discriminate is “to distinguish one object from another “
PR

Employment discrimination is treating one person better than another because of their age, gender,
race, religion or other protected class of status. Discrimination in employment is wrong because it
violates the basic principle of equality. Discrimination is to treat people differently. It is usually
intended to refer to the wrongful act of making a difference in treatment or favour on a basis other
than individual merit.
(ii) False: Consensus means overwhelming agreement. Most consensus building efforts set out to
achieve unanimity. The key indicator of whether or not a consensus has been reached is that
everyone agrees with the final proposal and it is important that consensus be the product of a good-
faith effort to meet the interests of all stakeholders. Thus, consensus requires that someone frame a
proposal after listening carefully to everyone's interests.

a)
(i) Void Agreement: As per Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 an agreement is void if the
object or consideration is against the public policy.
AD
(ii) Void Agreement: As per Section 20 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 the contract caused by mistake
of fact are void. There is mistake of fact as to the existence of subject-matter.
(iii) Void agreement: As per Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 an agreement in restraint of
trade is void. However, a buyer can put such a condition on the seller of good will, not to carry on

the business.
(iv) Void agreement: An agreement in restraint of legal proceedings is void as per Section 28 of the
Indian Contract Act, 1872.

IM

b) The problem as asked in the question is based on the provisions of Section 2(f) of the Competition Act,
2002. The Section provides that “consumer” means any person who buys any goods for a consideration
which has been paid or promised or partly paid or partly promised or under any system of deferred
PR

payment and includes any user of such goods other than the person who buys such goods for
consideration paid or promised or partly paid or partly promised or under any system of deferred
payment when such use is made with the approval of such person whether such purchase of goods is for
resale or for any commercial purpose or for personal use.
Hence Section 2(f) of the Competition Act, 2002 provides that whether purchase of goods is for resale or
for any commercial purpose or for personal use, the purchaser is a consumer. Thus consumer will also
include a person who purchases goods for re-sale. Therefore the contention of XYZ Ltd. is not valid and
not tenable.

c) Following are the characteristics of group personality:


(i) Spirit of Conformity: Individual members soon come to realize that in order to gain recognition,
admiration and respect from others they have to achieve a spirit of conformity. Our beliefs,
opinions, and actions are influenced more by group opinion than by an individual’s opinion, even if it
is an expert’s opinion.
(ii) Respect for group values: Any working group is likely to maintain certain values and ideals which
make it different from others. In order to deal effectively with a group we must understand its
values which will guide us in foreseeing its programmes and actions.

PRIME/41st ME/IPC 2
(iii) Resistance to change: It has been observed that a group generally does not take kindly to social
changes. On the other hand the group may bring about its own changes, whether by dictation of its
leader or by consensus. The degree to which a group resists change serves as an important index of
its personality. It helps us in dealing with it efficiently.
(iv) Group prejudice: Just as hardly any individual is free from prejudice, groups have their own clearly
evident prejudices. It is a different matter that the individual members may not admit their
prejudiced attitude to other’s race, religion, nationality etc. But the fact is that the individual’s
prejudices get further intensified while coming in contact with other members of the group holding
similar prejudices.
(v) Collective power: It need not be said that groups are always more powerful than individuals, how so
ever influential the individual may be. That is why individuals may find it difficult to speak out their
minds in groups. There is always the risk of the one-against many situation cropping up.

3.
a) Computation of Salary / Wages: According to Section 2(21) of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 salary and
wages means all remuneration other than remuneration in respect of overtime work, capable of being
expressed in terms of money, which would if the terms of employment, express or implied, were fulfilled,

Y
be payable to an employee in respect of his employment, or of work done in such employment and
includes dearness allowance, i.e. all cash payment by whatever name called, paid to an employee on

EM
account of a rise in the cost of living. But the term excludes:
(i) Any other allowance which the employee is for the time being entitled to;
(ii) The value of any house accommodation or of supply of light, water, medical attendance or other
AD
amenities of any service or of any concessional supply of food grains or other articles;
(iii) Any traveling concession;
(iv) Any bonus including incentive, production or attendance bonus;
(v) Any contribution paid or payable by the employer to any pension fund or for benefit of the
AC

employee under any law for the time being in force.


(vi) Any retrenchment compensation or any gratuity or other retirement benefit payable to the
employee or any ex-gratia payment made to him; and
(vii) Any commission payable to the employee.
E

It has been clarified in the explanation to the section that where an employee is given, in lieu of the
IM

whole or part of the salary or wage payable to him, free food allowance or free food by his employer,
such food allowance or the value of such food shall be deemed to form part of the salary or wage for
such employee.
PR

In view of the provisions of Section 2(21) explained above, the payment of dearness allowance and value
of free food by the employer forms part of salary of Prakash Chandra while remaining three payments i.e.
payment for overtime, commission on sales and employer’s contribution towards pension funds shall not
form part of his salary.

(i) In the establishments other than seasonal establishments- the employer shall pay the gratuity to an
employee at the rate of 15 days wages based on the rate of wages last drawn by the employee
concerned for every completed year of service or part thereof in excess of 6 months. In case of
piece- rated employee, daily wages shall be computed on the average of the total wages received by
him for a period of three months immediately preceding the termination of his employment, and,
for this purpose, the wages paid for any overtime work shall not be taken into account.

(ii) In case of an employee who is employed in a seasonal establishment can be classified into two
groups
 Those who work throughout the year &
 Who work only during the season?

PRIME/41st ME/IPC 3
The former who are the monthly rated employee are entitled to get the gratuity at the rate of 15 days
wages for every completed year of service or part thereof in excess of six months. The later are, however,
entitled to receive gratuity at the rate of seven days’ wages for each season.
In case of a monthly rated employee; the fifteen days’ wages shall be calculated by dividing the monthly
rate of wages last drawn by him by twenty-six and multiplying the quotient by fifteen.

Computation of Gratuity of disabled employee : [Section 4(4)]


When an employee becomes disable due to any accident or disease and is not in a position to do the
same work and re-employed on reduced wages on some other job, the gratuity will be calculated in two
parts
 For the period preceding the disablement: on the basis of wages last drawn by the employee at
the time of his disablement.
 For the period subsequent to the disablement: On the basis of the reduced wages as drawn by
him at the time of the termination of services.

c) Communication may be oral or written for direct contact. It may be informal also. The “Grapevine” is one
of the recognized channels of informal communication. According to human psychology, a person likes to

Y
form and move in groups. They interact on serious and non- serious issues and they spread it fast
whether the information is correct or not. This process is known as rumour mill. The larger the

EM
organization, the more active is the rumour mill. The phenomenon of grapevine is based on generally
three factors, namely: (1) formation of favoured group (2) lack of self confidence and, (3) feeling of
uncertainty due to lack of directions. Four kinds of the grapevine chains have been identified and they
AD
are:
(i) Single Strand Chain, which is the least accurate in passing on the information or message.
(ii) Gossip Chain, which is often used when information or a message regarding ‘not-on-job’ nature is
being conveyed.
AC

(iii) Probability Chain is used when information is somewhat interesting but not really significant.
(iv) Cluster Chain, which acts as liaison and spreads information with the greatest speed.

d)
E

(i) True. The term corporate citizenship denotes the extent to which businesses meet the legal, ethical,
IM

economic and voluntary responsibilities placed on them by their stakeholders. Companies can best
benefit their stakeholders by fulfilling their economic, legal, ethical, and discretionary responsibilities.
(ii) False. various accounting scandals witnessed during the past few years have put a serious question
PR

mark on the role of the finance and accounting professional in providing the right information for
decision making both within and outside their respective organizations. As these finance and
accounting professionals are in public practice, they should take reasonable steps to identify
circumstances that could pose the conflict of interest and thus leading to follow unethical behavior.

4.
a) Yes, the Director shall be held liable for the false statements in the prospectus under sections 34 and 35
of the Companies Act, 2013. Whereas section 34 imposes a criminal punishment on every person who
authorizes the issue of such prospectus section 35 more particularly includes a director of the company in
the imposition of liability for such mis statements. The only situations when a director will not incur any
liability for mis statements in a prospectus are as under:
(i) No criminal liability under section 34 shall apply to a person if he proves that such statement or
omission was immaterial or that he had reasonable grounds to believe, and did up to the time of
issue of the prospectus believe, that the statement was true or the inclusion or omission was
necessary.
(ii) No civil liability for any mis statement under section 35 shall apply to a person if he proves that:

PRIME/41st ME/IPC 4
 Having consented to become a director of the company, he withdrew his consent before the
issue of the prospectus, and that it was issued without his authority or consent; or
 The prospectus was issued without his knowledge or consent, and that on becoming aware of its
issue, he forthwith gave a reasonable public notice that it was issued without his knowledge or
consent.
Therefore, in the present case the director cannot hide behind the excuse that he had relied on the
promoters for making correct statements in the prospectus. He will be liable for mis statements in the
prospectus.

b) Managing ethics and preventing whistle-blowing: The focus on core values and sound ethics, the hall
mark of ethical management, is being recognized as an important way to ensure the long term
effectiveness of governance structures and procedures and to avoid the need for whistle blowing.
Employers, who understand the importance of work place ethics, provide their work force with an
effective framework and guiding principles of identity and address ethical issues as they arise. These
guidelines for managing ethics and to avoid the need for whistle-blowing in the work place may be
summarized as follows:-
(i) Have a Code of Conduct and ethics.

Y
(ii) Establishment open communication.
(iii) Make ethical decisions in group and make decision public whenever appropriate.

EM
(iv) Integrate ethics with other management practices.
(v) Use of cross functional teams when developing and implementing the ethics management
programme.
AD
(vi) Appointing an ombudsman.
(vii) Creating an atmosphere of trust.

c) The importance of communication in the industrial organization has increased immensely in these days.
AC

The following factors are responsible for the growing importance of communication:
(i) Growth in the size and multiple locations of organizations: Most of the organizations are growing
larger and larger in size. The people are working in the country and abroad, of these organizations.
Keeping in touch, sending directions across and getting feedback is possible only when
E

communication lines are kept working effectively.


IM

(ii) Growth of trade unions: Over the last so many decades, trade unions have been growing strong. No
management can be successful without taking the trade unions into confidence. Effective
communication will create relationship between the management and the workers.
PR

(iii) Growing importance of human relations: Workers in an organization are not like machines. They
have their own hopes and aspirations. Management has to recognize them and should work with
the spirit of integration so that human relations may be maintained. This may only be achieved
though effective communication.
(iv) Public relations: Every organization has a social responsibility towards customers, government,
suppliers and the public at large. Communication is the only way an organization can project a
positive image of itself.
(v) Advances in behavioral sciences: Modern management is deeply influenced by exciting discoveries
made in behavioral sciences like psychology, sociology, transactional analysis etc. All of them throw
light on suitable aspects of human nature and help in developing a positive attitude towards life and
building up meaningful relationship. This is possible only through communication.
(vi) Technological advancement: The world is changing very fast, owing to scientific and technological
advancements. These advancements deeply affect not only the methods of work but also the
compositions of groups. In such a situation, proper communication between superiors and
subordinates becomes very necessary.

a) Claim of Interest: Section 24 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881 states that where a bill or note is
payable after date or after sight or after happening of a specified event, the time of payment is
determined by excluding the day from which the time begins to run. Therefore, in the given case, Bal
Bharti will succeed in objecting to Kulbhushan’s claim. As Bal Bharti paid rightly “three days after sight”
which was 4th January. Since the bill was presented on 1st January, Bal Bharti was required to pay only
on the 4th and not on 3rd January, 2015 as contended by Bal Bharti.

b) As provided in section 464 of the Companies Act, 2013, no association or partnership consisting of more
than such number of persons as may be prescribed shall be formed for the purpose of carrying on any
business that has for its object the acquisition of gain by the association or partnership or by the
individual members thereof, unless it is registered as a company under this Act or is formed under any
other law for the time being in force. The number of persons shall not exceed 50, as per Rule 10 of
Companies (Miscellaneous) Rules, 2014. This shall not apply to (a) a Hindu undivided family carrying on
any business; or (b) an association or partnership, if it is formed by professionals who are governed by
special Acts. Since the number of adults are below 50, hence it does not contravene the provisions of
Companies Act, 2013.

Y
c) Mainly ethical issues can be categorized in the framework of their relation with business associates,

EM
conflicts of interest, fairness and honesty, and communications. Fairness and honesty are at the heart of
business ethics and relate to the general values of decision makers. At a minimum, businesspersons are
expected to follow all applicable laws and regulations. But beyond obeying the law, they are expected
AD
not to harm customers, employees, clients, or competitors knowingly through deception,
misrepresentation, coercion, or discrimination.
One aspect of fairness and honesty is related to disclosure of potential harm caused by product use. For
example, Mitsubishi Motors, a Japanese automaker, faced criminal charges and negative publicity after
AC

executives admitted that the company had systematically covered up customer complaints about tens of
thousands of defective automobiles over a 20-year period in order to avoid expensive and embarrassing
product recalls.
Another aspect of fairness relates to competition. Although numerous laws have been passed to foster
E

competition and make monopolistic practices illegal, companies sometimes gain control over markets by
IM

using questionable practices that harm competition. Rivals of Microsoft, for example, accused the
software giant of using unfair and monopolistic practices to maintain market dominance with its internet
Explorer browser.

a) The Ministry of Corporate Affairs while clarifying as to whether a public limited company had powers to
insert an article in its Articles of Association relating to expulsion of a member by the Board of Directors
of the company had stated that an article for expulsion of a member is opposed to the fundamental
principles of the Company Jurisprudence and is ultra vires the company. Such a provision is against the
provisions of the Companies Act relating to the rights of a member in a company, the powers of the
Central Government as an appellate authority under Section 111 of the Act and the powers of the Court
under Sections 107, 395 and 397 of the Companies Act. According to Section 9 of the Companies Act, the
Act overrides the Memorandum and Articles of Association and any provision contained in these
documents repugnant to the provisions of the Companies Act, is void.

The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has, therefore, clarified that any assumption of the powers by the Board
of Directors to expel a member by alteration of Articles of Association shall be illegal and void.
Considering the above-mentioned clarification, the Board’s decision of Asswin Ltd. is invalid in the eyes of
law.

PRIME/41st ME/IPC 6
b) As per Section 10 of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act,1952, the amount
standing to the credit of any member in the fund or of any exempted employee in a provident fund shall
not in any way be capable of being assigned or charged and shall not be liable to attachment under any
decree or order of any court in respect of any debt or liability incurred by the member or exempted
employee, and neither the official assignee appointed under the Presidency Town Insolvency Act,1909,
nor any receiver appointed under the Provincial Insolvency Act,1920, shall be entitled to or have any
claim on, any such amount.
This protection also applies to provident fund, pension and insurance amount receivable by employee
under the scheme. The amount standing to the credit of the person at the time of his death is payable to
his nominees under the scheme or the rules under this Act. Further, the amount shall be free from any
debt or other liability incurred by the deceased or the nominee before the death of the member or of the
exempted employee and shall also not be liable to attachment under any decree or order of any Court.
(Section 10, EPF & MP Act, 1952).

c) Critical thinking is the discipline of rigorously and skillfully using information, experience, observation and
reasoning to guide your decisions, actions and beliefs. Critical thinking means questioning every step of
your thinking process: Have you considered all the facts? Have you tested your assumptions? Is your

Y
reasoning sound? Can you be sure your judgment is unbiased? Is your thinking process logical, rational
and complete? This kind of rigorous, logical questioning is often known as Socratic questioning, after the

EM
Greek Socrates who is considered to be the founder of critical thinking. By developing the skills of critical
thinking, and bringing rigour and discipline to your thinking processes, you stand a better chance of being
“right” , likely to make good judgments, choices and decisions in all areas of your life. This is an important
AD
part of "success" and "wisdom".
To do this effectively, you need to develop skills to:
Analyze Cause and Effect: You must be able to separate the motive or reason for an action or event (the
cause) from the result or outcome (the effect).
AC

Classify and Sequence: You must be able to group items or sort them according to similar characteristics.
Compare and Contrast: You must be able to determine how things are similar and how they are different.
Infer: You must be skilled in reasoning and extending logic to come up with plausible options or
outcomes.
E

Evaluate: You must be able to determine sound criteria for making choices and decisions.
IM

Observe: You must be skilled in attending to the details of what actually happened.
Predict: You must be able to finding and analyze trends, and extend these to make sensible predictions
about the future.
PR

Rationalize: You must be able to apply the laws of reason (induction, deduction, analogy) in to judge an
argument and determine its merits.
Prioritize: You must be able to determine the importance of an event or situation and put it in the correct
perspective.
Summarize: You must be able to distill a brief report of what happened or what you have learned.
Synthesize: You must be able to identify new possible outcome by using pieces of information that you
already know.

e) Elements of Discrimination: Generally, the discrimination means to distinguish one object from another
or treating people differently. It is usually intended to refer to the wrongful act of making a difference in
PR

treatment or favour on a basis other than individual merit. Such discrimination may also be related in
employment in business organization. The elements which create discrimination may be summarized as
follows:
(i) If the decision against one or more employees is taken which is not based on individual merit, such
as the ability to perform a given job, seniority or other morally legitimate qualification.
(ii) If the decision has been derived solely from racial or sexual prejudice, false stereotypes other kind of
morally unjustified attitude against members of which the employee belongs.
(iii) If the decision has a harmful or negative impact on the interests of the employees, perhaps costing
them jobs, promotions or better pay.
Discrimination in employment is wrong because it violates the basic principle of justice by
differentiating between people on the basis of characteristics (race or sex) that are not relevant to
the tasks they must perform. Looking to these aspects law has also been changed to conform to
these moral requirements and to minimize the discrimination in employment in this respect.

Material ` 25; Labour ` 20 and Overhead ` 15 (60% variable).
The selling price is ` 75 per Lunch Box.
If it is decided to work at 60% capacity, the selling price falls by 2%. At 80% capacity, the selling
price falls by 10% accompanied by a similar fall in the price of material but labour rate increases
by 10%. You are required to find out the most profitable capacity level amongst 50%, 60% and

a) Treatment of by product costs
 Credit the Costing P & L a/c with sales proceeds of the by product
 Reduce sale proceeds from total costs
 Compute cost attributable to by product using reverse cost method or NRV and reduce from costs.
b) Cost allocation is allotting whole item of cost to cost centre and profit centre. Cost absorption is a
process by which the overheads of the company are charged to the jobs on the basis of the resources
which these jobs consume in the cost and profit centers
c) Reduction in debtors :20L x80% x(10/360) = Rs44,444
Benefit: Interest saved on debtors reduced : `44,444 * 20% = `8,889
Cost: Cash discount: `20L x 80% x 2% = `32,000
Since cost exceeds benefit, company should not introduce discount policy.
d) Investment decision is deciding whether a project should be accepted or not. Once viability is
established the next decision is regarding how to finance the investment and at what cost. Once the
finance is raised and investment done, it starts generating returns in due course. The next decision is
whether to distribute dividends or retain and invest in the business.

c) Liquidity vs. Profitability in working capital management
E

 Higher investment in working capital vs fixed assets means higher liquidity and thus lower risks.

However returns from working capital is lower than from fixed assets and hence lower profitability
 A lower investment in working capital would lead to higher profitability but lower liquidity.
d) “Money in the future is worth less than similar money today.” Give the reasons and explain.
PR

 Money received today has more value than money received later because money has time value.
 Postponing consumption of money would require a compensation which would include
opportunity cost of riskless investment and compensation for risk.(Rf + Rp)
 Thus future cash flows will be discounted at that rate and hence their worth is lesser.
e) Do the NPV and Profitability index criterion lead to the same acceptance rejection and ranking
decisions?
 NPV is Present value of Inflows (PVIF) less Present value of outflows(PVOF) while Profitability
Index is PVIF/PVOF.
 Since both use the same parameters the decision regarding acceptance/ rejection is same for
both.
 However while selecting mutually exclusive projects, they may differ when the size of the projects
are unequal.
 Choice should be made on PI in such cases assuming projects are divisible and can be repeated,
