NOTE: In this chapter, we are dividing profit between pre and post incorporation period.
There is no any prescribed format to divide profit. You can solve either in vertical or
horizontal format.
A newly incorporated company may take over a running business as from a certain date which is prior to the
date of incorporation. Thus company incorporated on 1st April, 2008 may take over the business of a
partnership as from 1st January, 2008. If the business is to be purchased from the date of incorporation, stock
taking must be completed and the balances of various assets and liabilities must be extracted, if this date does
not coincide with the end of the financial year for which the partnership has prepared its last final accounts. To
avoid all this trouble, the business is conveniently purchased from the date of last balance sheet. In order to
calculate profit or loss prior to incorporation date, the following steps are recommended:
(a) Prepare one trading account for the whole period falling between the date of purchase and date of
final accounts. The date of incorporation does not affect the calculation of gross profit.
i. Divide the gross profit of the full period into two parts on the basis of sales ratio. This gives
gross profit separately for pre- and post incorporation periods.
ii. Divide all expenses of fixed nature, viz., rent, salary, depreciation, interest in time ratio and
other expenses in sales ratio.
iii. There are certain expenses, i.e., salary of partners, salary of directors, preliminary expenses
which are not divided because they belong exclusively to a certain period. In the above cases
the salary of partners is debited to the pre-incorporation period and preliminary expenses
and directors' salary to the post-incorporation period.

capital reserve accruing in relation to the transaction or be treated as goodwill.

Provisions of section 62(1)(a) of the Companies Act, 2013 govern any company (public or private) which is
desirous of raising its subscribed share capital by issue of further shares. Whenever a company intends to
issue new shares, the voting and governance rights of the existing shareholders may be diluted, if they are not
allowed to preserve them. It may happen because new shareholders may subscribe to the issued share capital.
Companies Act, 2013 allows existing shareholders to preserve their position by offering those newly issued
shares at the first instance to them. The existing shareholders are given a right to subscribe these shares, if they
desire. However, if they do not desire to subscribe these shares, they are even given the right to renounce it in
favour of someone else (unless the articles of the company prohibit such a right to renounce).
Right issue of shares means the existing shareholders have a right to subscribe to any fresh issue of shares by the
company in proportion to their existing holding for shares. They have an implicit right to renounce this right in
favour of anyone else, or even reject it completely. In other words, the existing shareholders have right of
first refusal.
A company desirous of issuing new shares has to offer, as per Section 62(1) (a) of Companies Act 2013, the shares
to existing equity shareholders through a letter of offer subject to the following conditions, namely:
➢ The offer shall be made by notice specifying the number of shares offered and limiting a time not
being less than 15 days and not exceeding 30 days from the date of the offer within which the offer,
if not accepted, shall be deemed to have been declined;
➢ Unless the articles of the company otherwise provide, the offer aforesaid shall be deemed to
include a right exercisable by the person concerned to renounce the shares offered to him in favour of
any other person; and the notice shall contain a statement of this right;
➢ After the expiry of the time specified in the notice aforesaid, or on receipt of earlier intimation
from the person to whom such notice is given that he declines to accept the shares offered, the Board
of Directors may dispose of them in such manner which is not disadvantageous to the shareholders and
the company.
Section 62 recognises 4 situations under which the further shares are to be issued by a company, but they
need not be offered to the existing shareholders. The shares can be offered, without being offered to the existing

Financial Effects of a Further issue :The financial position of a business is contained in the balance sheet.
Further issue of shares increase the amount of equity (net worth) as well as the liquid resources (Bank). The
amount of equity is the product of further number of shares issued multiplied by issue price. The issue price
may be higher than the face value (issue at a premium). Companies Act does not allow issue of shares at a
discount, except issue of sweat equity shares under Section 53.
Book value of a share = Net worth (as per books)/ Number of shares
if there are 10,000 shares with net worth of ₹ 1,25,000. The book value of one share is (₹ 125,000 / 10,000
shares) ₹ 12.50 per share. However, the market value may differ from the book value of shares.
The market value of a company's shares represents the present value of future cash flows expected to be earned
from the share in the form of dividends and capital gains from expected future share price appreciation.
Difference between Cum-right Market Price and Ex-right Market Price of the shares
The market price, which exists before the rights issue, is termed as Cum-right Market Price of the share.
The market price of the shares after further issue of shares (right issue) is termed as Ex-right Market Price
of the shares. Theoretical Ex-Rights Price is a deemed value, which is attributed to a company's share
immediately after a rights issue transaction occurs.
Right of Renunciation : Right of renunciation refers to the right of the shareholder to surrender his right to
buy the securities and transfer such right to any other person. Shareholders that have received right shares
have three choices of what to do with the rights.
i. They can act on the rights and buy more shares as per the particulars of the rights issue;
iii. They can pass on taking advantage of their rights (i.e., reject the right offer).
The renunciation of the right is valuable and can be monetised by the existing shareholders in well-functioning
capital market. The monetised value available to the existing shareholders due to right issue is known as ‘value
of right’.
• If a shareholder decides to renounce all or any of the right shares in favour of his nominee, the value of
right is restricted to the sale price of the renouncement of a right in favour of the nominee.
• In case the right issue offer is availed by an existing shareholder, the value of right is determined as
given below:
Ex-right value of the shares = [Cum-right value of the existing shares + (Rights shares X Issue Price)] / (Existing
Number of shares + Number of right shares).
Question 1. COC Education ltd is planning to raise funds by making right issue of equity shares for expansion.
The existing equity share capital of the company is ₹50,00,000 (₹10 each).
The market price of its share is ₹42. The company offers to its shareholders the right to buy 2 shares of ₹11 each
for every 5 shares held. You are required to calculate:
(a) Cum right value of equity share.
(b) Theoretical Ex-right value of share,
(c) The value of right,
(d) % increase in share capital.
Question 2. Mr. Narain has 100 shares of COC Ltd before rights issue. Market price per share is ₹25 per share.
COC Ltd announces right issue in the ratio of 1:10 at the rate of ₹14 per share. Calculate ex-right market value of
the share and value of right. (Answer: Ex-right Market value ₹ 24 per share, value of right ₹1).
Question 3. A company offers new shares of ₹ 100 each at 25% premium to existing shareholders on one for four
bases. The cum-right market price of a share is ₹ 150. Calculate the value of a right. What should be the ex-right
market price of a share?
Answer: Ex-right value of the shares = ₹ 145 per share, Value of right ₹ 5 per share.
Question 4. A company has decided to increase its existing share capital by making rights issue to its existing
shareholders. The company is offering one new share for every two shares held by the shareholder. The market
value of the share is ₹ 240 and the company is offering one share of ₹ 120 each. Calculate the value of a right.
What should be the ex-right market price of a share?
Solution: - Ex-right value of the shares = (Cum-right value of the existing shares + Rights
ACCOUNTING FOR RIGHT ISSUE: The accounting treatment of rights share is the same as that of
issue of ordinary shares and the following journal entry will be made:
Question 5. A Company having 70,000 shares of ₹ 10 each as its issued share capital and having market value of
₹ 21 issues rights shares in the ratio of 1:10 at an issue price of ₹ 10. Pass journal entry for issue of right shares.
Question 6. A company having 1,00,000 shares of ₹ 10 each as its issued share capital, and havinga market

of right shares.
1. Right issue enables the existing shareholders to maintain their proportional holding in the company and
retain their financial and governance rights. It works as a deterrent to the management, which may like
to issue shares to known persons with a view to have a better control over the company’s affairs.
2. In well-functioning capital markets, the right issue necessarily leads to dilution in the value of share.
However, the existing shareholders are not affected by it because getting new shares at a discounted
value from their cum-right value will compensate decrease in the value of shares.
3. Right issue is a natural hedge against the issue expenses normally incurred by the company in
relation to public issue.
4. Right issue has an image enhancement effect, as public and shareholders view it positively.
5. The chance of success of a right issue is better than that of a general public issue and is logistically much
easier to handle.
1. The right issue invariably leads to dilution in the market value of the share of the company.
2. The attractive price of the right issue should be objectively assessed against its true worth to ensure
that you get a bargained deal.

Under Section 71 (1) of the Companies Act, 2013 a company may issue debentures with an option to
convert such debentures into shares, either wholly or partly at the time of redemption.
Provided that the issue of debentures with an option to convert such debentures into shares, wholly or
partly, should be approved by a special resolution passed at a duly convened general meeting.
Section 71 (2) further provides that no company can issue any debentures which carry any voting rights.
Section 71 (4) provides that where debentures are issued by a company, the company should create a
debentures redemption reserve account out of the profits of the company available for payment of
dividend and the amount credited to such account should not be utilised by the company for any purpose
other than the redemption of debentures.
a. An issue of secured debentures may be made, provided the date of its redemption shall not
exceed ten years from the date of issue. Provided that the following classes of companies may
issue secured debentures for a period exceeding ten years but not exceeding thirty years,
(i) Companies engaged in setting up of infrastructure projects;
(ii) Infrastructure Finance Companies.
(iii) Infrastructure Debt Fund Non-Banking Financial Companies
(iv) Companies permitted by a Ministry or Department of the Central Government or by
Reserve Bank of India or by the National Housing Bank or by any other statutory
authority to issue debentures for a period exceeding ten years.
b. such an issue of debentures shall be secured by the creation of a charge on the properties or assets
of the company or its subsidiaries or its holding company or its associates companies, having a
value which is sufficient for the due repayment of the amount of debentures and interest thereon.
c. the company shall appoint a debenture trustee before the issue of prospectus or letter of offer for

execute a debenture trust deed to protect the interest of the debenture holders; and
d. the security for the debentures by way of a charge or mortgage shall be created in favour of the

ii. Methods of Redemption of Debentures:
a. By payment in lumpsum
b. By payment in instalments
c. By purchase in open market
d. By conversion into other securities
iii . Sources of Redemption of Debentures: The sources of redemption may be any of the following:
(a) Out of Capital: It means redemption of debentures without transfer of any profit from Surplus(statement
of profit and loss). Redemption only out of capital is not possible under the present law because the
Companies Act, 2013 prescribes companies (other than those exempted from creating Debentures
Redemption Reserve) to transfer amount of profits available for distribution as dividend as specified in Rule
18(7) (b) of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Rules, 2014.
(b) Out of Profit: It means redemption of debentures only out of profits. In this case companies transfer 100
per cent of nominal (face) value of total redeemable debentures to Debentures Redemption Reserve out of
the surplus available for payment as dividend to the shareholders.
(c) Out of Profit and Capital: It means redemption of debentures partially out of profit and partially out of
capital. Where the company does not transfer 100 per cent of nominal (face) value of outstanding debentures
to Debentures Redemption Reserve out of the surplus available for payment as dividend to the shareholders, it
is known as redemption out of profit and capital.
Debentures Redemption Reserve (DRR):-- A company issuing debentures may be required to create a
debenture redemption reserve account out of the profits available for distribution of dividend and
amounts credited to such account cannot be utilized by the company except for redemption of
debentures. Such an arrangement would ensure that the company will have sufficient liquid funds for
the redemption of debentures at the time they fall due for payment.
An appropriate amount is transferred from profits every year to Debenture Redemption Reserve and
its investment is termed as Debenture Redemption Reserve Investment (or Debenture Redemption
Fund). In the last year or at the time of redemption of debentures, Debenture Redemption Reserve
Investments are encashed and the amount so obtained is used for the redemption of debentures.
3.1 REQUIREMENT TO CREATE DEBENTURE REDEMPTION RESERVE
Section 71 of the Companies Act 2013 covers the requirement of creating a debenture redemption
reserve account. Section 71 states as follows:
(1) Where a company issues debentures under this section, it should create a debenture redemption
reserve account out of its profits which are available for distribution of dividend every year until
such debentures are redeemed.
(2) The amounts credited to the debenture redemption reserve should not be utilised by the
company for any purpose except for the purpose aforesaid.
(3) The company should pay interest and redeem the debentures in accordance with the terms and
conditions of their issue.
(4) Where a company fails to redeem the debentures on the date of maturity or fails to pay the interest on
debentures when they fall due, the Tribunal may, on the application of any or all the holders of
debentures or debenture trustee and, after hearing the parties concerned, direct, by order, the
company to redeem the debentures forthwith by the payment of principal and interest due thereon.
3.2 BALANCE IN DEBENTURE REDEMPTION RESERVE (DRR)
When the company decides to establish the Debenture Redemption Reserve Account, the amount indicated
by the Debenture Redemption Reserves tables is credited to the Debenture Redemption Reserve account
and debited to profit and loss account. That shows the intention of the company to set aside sum of money
to build up a fund for redeeming debentures. Immediately, the company should also purchase outside
investments. The entry for the purpose naturally will be to debit Debenture Redemption Reserve
Investments and credit Bank.
3.3 ADEQUACY OF DEBENTURE REDEMPTION RESERVE (DRR)
As per Rule 18 (7) of the Companies (Share Capital and Debentures) Amendment Rules, 2019, the company
shall comply with the requirements with regard to Debenture Redemption Reserve (DRR) and investment or
deposit of sum in respect of debentures maturing during the year ending on the 31st day of March of next
year , in accordance with the conditions given below—
a. the Debenture Redemption Reserve shall be created out of the profits of the company available for
payment of dividend;
b. the limits with respect to adequacy of DRR and investment or deposits, as the case may be, shall be as
under:
Adequacy of Debenture Redemption

Debentures) Amendment Rules, 2019, following companies:
(a) in deposits with any scheduled bank, free from charge or lien;
(b) in unencumbered securities of the Central Government or of any State Government;

20 of the Indian Trusts Act, 1882.
The amount deposited or invested, as the case may be, above should not be utilised for any purpose other
than for the redemption of debentures maturing during the year referred to above.
Provided that the amount remaining deposited or invested, as the case may be, shall not at any time fall
below 15% of the amount of debentures maturing during the 31st day of March of that year.
In case of partly convertible debentures, DRR shall be created in respect of non- convertible portion of
debenture issue in accordance with this sub-rule.
The amount credited to DRR shall not be utilised by the company except for the purpose of redemption of
debentures.
Important Note for exam: It should be noted that appropriation to DRR can be made any time before
redemption and Investments in specified securities as mentioned above can be done before 30th April
for the debentures maturing that year, however, for the sake of simplicity and ease, it is advisable to
make the appropriation and investment immediately after the debentures are allotted assuming that
the company has sufficient amount of profits (issued if allotment date is not given in the question).
Also, in some cases, the date of allotment could be missing, in such cases the appropriation and
investments should be done on the first day of that year for which ledgers accounts are to be drafted.

(i) bases for recognition of interest, dividends and rentals earned on investments;
1) Current investments:- A current investment is an investment that is by its nature readily realisable
and is intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investment is
made. They are shown in the books at lower of its cost price and fair value.
Note 1: Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a knowledgable,
willing seller in an arm’s length transaction. Under appropriate circumstances, market value or net
realisable value provides an evidence of fair value.
Note 2. Any reduction to fair value and any reversals of such reductions are included in the
statement of profit and loss.
2) Long term investments:- investments other than current investment are considered as long term
investments. They are always shown at its cost price.
But if there is permanent decline in value of long term investment, then provision for diminution shall
be made to recognise a decline and to show investment at market value. Loss arising should be
written off to profit and loss account.
The reduction in carrying amount is reversed when there is rise in the value of the investment, or if
the reasons for the reduction no longer exist.
Important points:-
(1) cost of investment should include acquisition charges including brokerage, fees and duties.
(2) Brokerage is always calculated on quoted price of investments.
(3) Separate investment account is prepared for separate type of investments. Classification is based on
period, type of securities, rate of interest, company etc.
(4) If an investment is acquired by issue of shares/ securities, the cost of investment is the fair value of the
securities issued.
(5) If an investment is acquired in exchange for another asset, the cost of investment is the fair value of the
asset given up or the fair value of the investment acquired, whichever is more clearly evident.
Note: when the investments are acquired on cum-right basis and the market value of the investments
immediately after their becoming ex-right is lower than the cost for which they were acquired, it may be
appropriate to apply the sale proceeds of rights to reduce the carrying amount of such investments to the
market value.
Disclosure requirements:
a. The accounting policies for the determination of carrying amount of the investments.
b. The amount included in profit and loss statement for:
i. Interest, dividend and rentals showing separately from current and non-current
investments.
ii. Profit or loss on disposal of current and non-current investments separately.
c. The agreegate amount of quoted and unquoted investments, giving the agreegate market
value of the investments.
d. Other disclosures as specifically required by the relevant statute governing the enterprise.

bonus shares, no amount is entered in the capital column of investment account since the investor has not
paid anything.
DISPOSAL OF INVESTMENTS:
On disposal of an investment, the difference between the carrying amount and the disposal proceeds (net of
expenses) is recognized in the profit and loss account.
RE-CLASSIFICATION OF INVESTMENTS:
When investments are classified from current investments to long term investments, transfer is made at cost
and fair value whichever is less (at the date of transfer).

Stock reserve: unrealised profit included in unsold stock at the end of accounting period is eliminated by
creating an appropriate stock reserve by debiting the combined profit and loss account. The amount of stock
reserve will be calculated as:
Transfer price of unsold stock X profit included in transfer price/ transfer price.
Journal entry: at the end of accounting year, the following journal entry will be passed for elimination of
unrealised profit:
i. Evaluation of performance: the performance of each department can be evaluated separately on the basis
of trading results.
ii. Growth potential of each department: the growth potential of a department as compared to others can be evaluated.
iii. justification to capital outlay: it helps the management to determine the justification of capital outlay in
each department.
iv. judgement of efficiency: it helps to calculate stock turnover ratio of each department separately and thus
the efficiency of each department can be revealed.
v. planning and control: availability of separate cost and profit figures for each department facilitates better control.
Thus, effective planning and control can be achieved on the basis of departmental accounting information.
Method 1. Accounts of all departments are kept in one book only: income and expenditure of department is
separately recorded in subsidiary books and then accumulated under separate heads in a ledger or ledgers. This may
be done by having columnar subsidiary books and a columnar ledger.
Method 2. Separate set of books are kept for each department: each department maintains separate books
including complete stock accounts of goods received from or transferred to other departments or as also sales.
Common expenses need to be allocated to determine profitability.

TYPES OF SINGLE ENTRY:- A scrutiny of many procedures adopted in maintaining records under single entry
system brings forth the existence of following three types:
1. Pure single entry: In this, only personal accounts are maintained with the result that no
information is available in respect of cash and bank balances, sales and purchases, etc.
In view of its failure to provide even the basic information regarding cash etc., this
method exists only on paper and has no practical application.
2. Simple single entry: In this, only: (a) personal accounts, and (b) cash books are
maintained. Although these accounts are kept on the basis of double entry system,
postings from cash book are made only to personal accounts with no other account
to be found in the ledger. Cash received from debtorsor cash paid to creditors is
simply noted on the bills issued or received as the case may be.
3. Quasi single entry: In this: (a) personal accounts, (b) cash book, and (c) some subsidiary
books are maintained. The main subsidiary books kept under this system are Sales book,
Purchase’s book and Bill’s book. No separate record is maintained for discounts, which
are entered into the personal accounts. In addition, some scattered information is also
available in respect of few important items of expenses like wages, rent, rates, etc. In
fact, this is the method which is generally adopted as a substitute for double entry
system.
Capital In this statement, capital is merely a Capital is derived from the capital account

(I) Fundamental Accounting Assumptions :It is generally assumed that financial statements are prepared on
the basis of fundamental accounting assumptions. Fundamental Accounting assumptions are:
• Going Concern- It means that enterprise had intention for continuing the operation in foreseeable future.
Foreseeable means coming one or two yea₹
In other words, neither there is intention of discontinuance of business, nor necessity of liquidation of
organization or discontinuance of major operations of the business.
• Consistency - It means that same accounting policies are followed from one period to another.
• Accrual- It means that financial statement is prepared on mercantile system only.
Other accounting assumption like business entity, money measurement, matching are not accounting
assumptions as per this accounting standard.
Assumption regarding fundamental accounting assumptions :If nothing has been written about the
fundamental accounting assumption in financial statements, it is assumed that fundamental accounting
assumptions have been followed in preparation of financial statements.
If any fundamental accounting assumption has not been followed, then this fact must be disclosed in financial
statements.
QUESTION:1 Describe briefly the term "Accounting policies".[CA Final, May 1992 (2 Marks)
QUESTION: 3. Mention six areas in which different accounting policies are followed by Companies.
(PCC, May - 2008; Marks 4)
Answer: Major Areas in which different accounting policies may be adopted by different enterprises includes:
• Methods of depreciation, depletion and amortisation, e.g., WDV method, SLM method
• Treatment of expenditure during construction, e.g., capitalization, written off, deferment
• Conversion or translation of foreign currency items, e.g. average rate, TT buying rate
• Valuation of inventories, e.g. FIFO, weighted average method
• Treatment of goodwill, e.g., capitalization method, super profit method
• Valuation of investments, e.g. lower of cost and fair value
• Treatment of retirement benefits, e.g., Pay-as-you-go
• Recognition of profit on long-term contracts, e.g proportionate completion method
• Valuation of fixed assets, e.g., historical cost, revalued amount
• Treatment of contingent liabilities, e.g., provision, discloser, no treatment
Objective: Objective of AS-2 is the determination of the value at which inventories are
carried in the financial statements until the related revenues are recognised. This Standard deals
with the determination of such value, including the ascertainment of cost of inventories and any
write-down thereof to net realisable value.
Note: The inventories referred to in paragraph 1 (d) are measured at net realisable value at
certain stages of production. This occurs, for example, when agricultural crops have been
harvested or mineral oils, ores and gases have been extracted and sale is assured under a forward
contract or a government guarantee, or when a homogenous market exists and there is a negligible
risk of failure to sell. These inventories are excluded from the scope of this Standard.
Definitions:
3. The following terms are used in this Standard with the meanings specified:
3.1 Inventories are assets:
(a) held for sale in the ordinary course of business;
(b) in the process of production for such sale; or
(c) in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production
process or in the rendering of services.
3.2 Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the
estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
4. Inventories encompass goods purchased and held for resale, for example, merchandise purchased by a
retailer and held for resale, computer software held for resale, or land and other property held for resale.
Inventories also encompass finished goods produced, or work in progress being produced, by the enterprise
and include materials, maintenance supplies, consumables and loose tools awaiting use in the
production process.
Inventories do not include machinery spares which can be used only in connection with an item of fixed
asset and whose use is expected to be irregular; such machinery spares are accounted for in accordance
with Accounting Standard (AS) 10.
According to AS-2 inventories should be valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost of Inventories:
6. The cost of inventories should comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs
incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
7. The costs of purchase consist of the purchase price including duties and taxes (other than those
subsequently recoverable by the enterprise from the taxing authorities), freight inwards and other
expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition. Trade discounts, rebates, duty drawbacks and other similar
items are deducted in determining the costs of purchase.
Costs of Conversion:
8. The costs of conversion of inventories include costs directly related to the units of production, such as direct
labour. They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in
converting materials into finished goods. Fixed production overheads are those indirect costs of production
that remain relatively constant regardless of the volume of production, such as depreciation and
maintenance of factory buildings and the cost of factory management and administration. Variable
production overheads are those indirect costs of production that vary directly, or nearly directly, with the
volume of production, such as indirect materials
9. The allocation of fixed production overheads for the purpose of their inclusion in the costs of
conversion is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Normal capacity is the production
expected to be achieved on an average over a number of periods or seasons under normal circumstances,
taking into account the loss of capacity resulting from planned maintenance. The actual level of production
may be used if it approximates normal capacity. The amount of fixed production overheads allocated to
each unit of production is not increased as a consequence of low production or idle plant. Unallocated
overheads are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. In periods of abnormally
high production, the amount of fixed production overheads allocated to each unit of production is decreased
so that inventories are not measured above cost. Variable production overheads are assigned to each unit of
production on the basis of the actual use of the production facilities.
10. A production process may result in more than one product being produced simultaneously. This is the case,
for example, when joint products are produced or when there is a main product and a by-product. When the
costs of conversion of each product are not separately identifiable, they are allocated between the products
on a rational and consistent basis. The allocation may be based, for example, on the relative sales value of
each product either at the stage in the production process when the products become separately
identifiable, or at the completion of production. Most by-products as well as scrap or waste materials, by
their nature, are immaterial. When this is the case, they are often measured at net realisable value and
this value is deducted from the cost of the main product. As a result, the carrying amount of the main
product is not materially different from its cost.
Other Costs:
11. Other costs are included in the cost of inventories only to the extent that they are incurred in bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition. For example, it may be appropriate to include
overheads other than production overheads or the costs of designing products for specific customers in
the cost of inventories.
12. 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.
Exclusions from the Cost of Inventories:
13. In determining the cost of inventories in accordance with paragraph 6, it is appropriate to exclude
certain costs and recognise them as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. Examples of such
costs are:
Cost Formulas:
14. The cost of inventories of items that are not ordinarily interchangeable and goods or services
produced and segregated for specific projects should be assigned by specific identification of their
individual costs.
15. Specific identification of cost means that specific costs are attributed to identified items of inventory.
This is an appropriate treatment for items that are segregated for a specific project, regardless of
whether they have been purchased or produced. However, when there are large numbers of items of
inventory which are ordinarily interchangeable, specific identification of costs is inappropriate since, in such
circumstances, an enterprise could obtain predetermined effects on the net profit or loss for the period by
selecting
16. The cost of inventories, other than those dealt with in paragraph 14, should be assigned by using
the first-in, first-out (FIFO), or weighted average cost formula. The formula used should reflect the
fairest possible approximation to the cost incurred in bringing the items of inventory to their present
location and condition.
17. A variety of cost formulas is used to determine the cost of inventories other than those for which
specific identification of individual costs is appropriate. The formula used in determining the cost of an item
of inventory needs to be selected with a view to providing the fairest possible approximation to the cost incurred
in bringing the item to its present location and condition. The FIFO formula assumes that the items of inventory
which were purchased or produced first are consumed or sold first, and consequently the items remaining
in inventory at the end of the period are those most recently purchased or produced. Under the weighted
average cost formula, the cost of each item is determined from the weighted average of the cost of similar
items at the beginning of a period and the cost of similar items purchased or produced during the period. The
average may be calculated on a periodic basis, or as each additional shipment is received, depending upon
the circumstances of the enterprise.
19. The retail method is often used in the retail trade for measuring inventories of large numbers of
rapidly changing items that have similar margins and for which it is impracticable to use other costing
methods. The cost of the inventory is determined by reducing from the sales value of the inventory the
appropriate percentage gross margin. The percentage used takes into consideration inventory which has
been marked down to below its original selling price. An average percentage for each retail department is
often used.
increased. The practice of writing down inventories below cost to net realisable value is consistent with
the view that assets should not be
21. Inventories are usually written down to net realisable value on an item- by-item basis. In some
circumstances, however, it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. This may be the case with
items of inventory relating to the same product line that have similar purposes or end uses and are
produced and marketed in the same geographical area and cannot be practicably evaluated separately
from other items in that product line. It is not appropriate to write down inventories based on a
classification of inventory, for example, finished goods, or all the inventories in a particular business segment.
22. Estimates of net realisable value are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the
estimates are made as to the amount the inventories are expected to realise. These estimates take into
consideration fluctuations of price or cost directly relating to events occurring after the balance sheet date
to the extent that such events confirm the conditions existing at the balance sheet date.
24. Materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down
below cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or
above cost. However, when there has been a decline in the price of materials and it is estimated that
the cost of the finished products will exceed net realisable value, the materials are written down to net
realisable value. In such circumstances, the replacement cost of the materials may be the best
available measure of their net realisable value.
25. An assessment is made of net realisable value as at each balance sheet date.
Disclosure requirements:
26. The financial statements should disclose:
(a) the accounting policies adopted in measuring inventories,including the cost formula used;
and
(b) the total carrying number of inventories and its classificationappropriate to the enterprise.
27. Information about the carrying amounts held in different classifications of inventories and
the extent of the changes in these assets is useful to financial statement use₹ Common
classifications of inventories are raw materials and components, work in progress, finished
goods, stores and spares,and loose tools.
QUESTION:1 The company deals in three products, A, Band C, which are neither similar nor interchangeable.

Question 2. X ltd has stock of 100 kg of shampoo. Standard cost per kg Rs 40. Calculate cost of stock.
Question 3. Y ltd has stock of 500 pkd of shampoo. Retail price/pkd Rs 90. G.P. Rate 20%. Calculate cost of
stock.
Question 4. Rashika ltd produces PEPSI. In the month of April, it produces 1,00,000pkd of PEPSI . Following
expenses were incurred during the month of April:
Direct material = 8,00,000
Direct labour = 2,00,000
Indirect material ( e.g. bottle) = 1,00,000( variable factory overhead)
Fixed production overhead = 2,50,000
Transport cost to stores = 50,000
Assume normal production capacity = 1,20,000pkd.
Calculate cost per unit.
Question:5 The cost structure per kilogram of finished product is given below:
Material cost ₹100 per kg
Direct labour cost ₹20 per kg
Direct variable production overhead ₹10 per kg
Fixed production charges for the year on normal capacity of 1,00,000 kgs is ₹ 10 per kg. 2,000 kgs of finished
goods are in stock at the year end. How do you value the quantity in stock as per AS-2.
Question:6 In a production process normal waste is 5% of input. 5,000 MT of input were put in process
resulting in a wastage of 300 MT. Cost per MT of input is ₹ 1,000. The entire quantity of waste is in stock at
the year end. How will you value the inventory in accordance with the requirements of AS-2?
Answer: Abnormal amounts of waste materials, labour or other production costs are excluded from cost of
inventories and as such costs are recognized in the period in which they are incurred. In this case normal
wastage is 5% of 5,000 MT i.e. 250 MT. The balance of 50 MT is abnormal loss. The cost of normal loss will be
included in the cost of finished goods. The cost of abnormal loss being 50 x 1,000 i.e. ₹ 50.000 will be charged
to profit and loss account.

Question: 10. A Ltd. uses a single raw material and converts that into a finished product, During the current
period the cost of production and sale prices are as shown below :
Raw material 3 units at ₹8 each = ₹24.00
Costs of conversion = ₹26.00
Manufacturing cost = ₹50.00
Selling price = ₹75.00
On the balance sheet date there is a steep fall in the price of the product to ₹45 because of competition and a
steep fall in the material prices. Currently materials can be purchased at ₹4 per unit. On the balance sheet date
there are 1,00,000 units of raw material in stock purchased at a cost of ₹8 per unit. You are required to value
inventory as on the balance sheet date.
Question: 11. Raw material purchased at ₹100 per kilo. Price of raw material is on the decline. The finished
goods in which the raw material is incorporated is expected to be sold at below cost. 10.000 kilograms of raw
material is in stock at the year end. Replacement cost of the material is ₹80 per kilogram. How will you value
the inventory having regard to AS-2?
Answer: Materials and other supplies held for use in the production of inventories are not written down below
cost if the finished products in which they will be incorporated are expected to be sold at or above cost.
However, when there has been a decline in the price of material and it is estimated that the cost of the
finished products will exceed the net realisable value, the materials are written down to net realisable value
(paragraph 24 of AS-2).
In the given case since prices are on the decline and also the finished product is likely to be sold at
below cost, raw materials will have to be valued at net realisable value. Replacement cost is the best available
measure of net realisable value. Hence 10,000 kilograms of material will be valued at ₹ 80 per kilogram.
QUESTION:12 Inventories of a car manufacturing company include the value of items, required for the
manufacturing of a model-which was removed from the production line five years back, at cost price. As a
company auditor how would you react on the above situations?[CA Inter, Nov 2002 (4 Marks)]
Answer: Inventory valuation: AS-2 on "Valuation of Inventories" provides that the cost of inventories
may not be recoverable if those inventories are damaged, have become wholly or partially obsolete, or if their
selling prices have declined. Accordingly, the auditor should examine whether appropriate allowance has
been made for the defective, damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories in determining the net
realizable value.
In this case, items required for the manufacture of a model, which has been withdrawn from the production
line five years ago, are included in the stock at cost price resulting in overstatement of inventory and profit.
As it appears from the facts given that the net realizable value of these items is likely to much lower than the
cost necessary to write down the inventory to "net realizable value" if the items of inventories become
wholly or partially obsolete. Under the circumstance, the auditor should qualify the report appropriately.
QUESTION:13.The auditor of a company has a difference of opinion with its chief accountant on the
Following matters concerning inventories. What would be v our advice to the auditor?
(a) It has been policy of the company to valu e the inventories of finished goods (textiles) at selling
price since the items have a ready market. However, the auditor objects to this valuation on the
basis that it amount to recognizing unrealized profit.
(b) The company incurs ₹ 20,00,000 as fixed production overheads even-year. It normally produces 1,00,000
units in a year. In 2000-01, however, it produces only 40,000 units. Fixed production overheads per unit for the
year 2000-01 have been determined by the chief accountant as ₹ 50 (₹ 20,00,000 / 40,000).
(c) What would be your answer in case (b) above if the actual production during the year were 1,25,000
units?
(d) The company deals in five products — A, B, C, D and E. At the time of closing of its accounts for the year,
the historical cost and the net realizable value of the items of closing stock are determined as below:
Items Historical Net realizable value
(₹ in million) (₹ in million)
A 20 14
B 16 16
C 8' 12
D 16 25
E 12 8
Total 72 75
The chief accountant values the closing stock in the draft financial statements at ₹ 72 million. The auditor,
however, does not concur with this valuation.
Answer:
(a) The auditor's stand is correct. AS-2 on "Valuation of Inventories' issued by the 'Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India', requires that inventories should be valued at the lower of cost and net
realizable value. Valuation of Inventories at selling price is not in accordance with AS-2.
(b) AS-2 on 'Valuation of inventories' requires that fixed production overheads should generally
be allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. Accordingly in the instant case, the
allocation should be on the basis of 1,00,000 units; i.e. fixed production overheads allocated to each unit of
production should be ₹ 20 and not ₹ 50.
(c) AS-2 on 'Valuation of inventories' requires that fixed production overheads should generally be
allocated on the basis of normal capacity of production facilities. However in case the actual
production during a period is abnormally high, the standard requires such allocation to be made on
the basis of actual production. Accordingly in the instant case the allocation should be on the basis of
1,25,000 units, i.e. fixed production overheads allocated to each unit of production should be on the
basis of 1,25,000 units, i.e. fixed production overheads allocated to each unit of production should be
₹ 16.
(d) As the 5 products are neither similar nor interchangeable, the valuation of inventory of each product
should be on the basis of the lower of its costand net realisable value as follows:

QUESTION: 19 C Ltd., a Pharmaceutical Company, while valuing its finished stock at the year-end wants to
include interest on Bank Overdraft as an element of cost, for the reason that overdraft has been taken
specifically for the purpose of financing current assets like inventory and for meeting day to day working
expenses. [May 2005, Audit 5 marks]
Answer: As per Accounting Standard 2 "Valuation of Inventories", cost of inventories comprises all costs of
purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and
condition. However, it makes clear that interest and other borrowing costs are usually not included in the cost
of inventories because generally such costs are not related in bringing the inventories to their present location
and condition. Therefore, the proposal of C Ltd. to include interest on bank overdraft as an element of cost is
not acceptable because it does not form part of cost of production.

Objective:
The objective of this Standard is to prescribe the accounting treatment for property, plant and equipment
so that users of the financial statements can discern information about investment made by an enterprise
in its property, plant and equipment and the changes in such investment. The principal issues in
accounting for property, plant and equipment are the recognition of the assets, the determination of their
carrying amounts and the depreciation charges and impairment losses to be recognised in relation to
them.
Scope / Applicability:
This Standard should be applied in accounting for property, plant and equipment except when another
Accounting Standard requires or permits a different accounting treatment.
Other Accounting Standards may require recognition of an item of property, plant and equipment based
on an approach different from that in this Standard. For example, AS 19, Leases, requires an enterprise to
evaluate its recognition of an item of leased property, plant and equipment on the basis of the transfer of
risks and rewards.
However, in such cases other aspects of the accounting treatment for these assets, including depreciation,
are prescribed by this Standard.
Investment property, as defined in AS 13, Accounting for Investments, should be accounted for only in
accordance with the cost model prescribed in this standard.
Important Terminology:
1. Agricultural Activity is the management by an enterprise of the biological transformation and harvest of
biological assets for sale or for conversion into agricultural produce or into additional biological assets.
2. Agricultural Produce is the harvested product of biological assets of the enterprise.
3. Bearer plant is a plant that:
a) is used in the production or supply of agricultural produce;
b) is expected to bear produce for more than a period of twelve months; and
c) has a remote likelihood of being sold as agricultural produce, except for incidental scrap sales. The
following are not bearer plants:
a) plants cultivated to be harvested as agricultural produce (for example, trees grown for use as lumber);
b) plants cultivated to produce agricultural produce when there is more than a remote likelihood that the
entity will also harvest and sell the plant as agricultural produce, other than as incidental scrap sales
(for example, trees that are cultivated both for their fruit and their lumber); and
c) annual crops (for example, maize and wheat). When bearer plants are no longer used to bear produce,
they might be cut down and sold as scrap, for example, for use as firewood. Such incidental scrap
sales would not prevent the plant from satisfying the definition of a bearer plant.
4. Biological Asset is a living animal or plant.
5. Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised after deducting any accumulated
depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
6. Cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to
acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount
attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the specific requirements of other
Accounting Standards.
7. Depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, or other amount substituted for cost, less its residual value.
8. Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
9. Enterprise -specific value is the present value of the cash flows an enterprise expects to arise from the
continuing use of an asset and from its disposal at the end of its useful life or expects to incur when
settling a liability.
10. Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties
in an arm’s length transaction.
11. Gross carrying amount of an asset is its cost or other amount substituted for the cost in the books of
account, without making any deduction for accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses.
12. An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount.
13. Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that: a) are held for use in the production or supply of
goods or services, for rental to others, or for administrative purposes; and b) are expected to be used
during more than a period of twelve months.
14. Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s net selling price and its value in use.
15. The residual value of an asset is the estimated amount that an enterprise would currently obtain from
disposal of the asset, after deducting the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset were already of the age
and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life.
16. Useful life is:
a) the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an enterprise; or
b) The number of production or similar units expected to be obtained from the asset by an enterprise.
Recognition:
• The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment should be recognised as an asset if, and only if:
(a) it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the enterprise;
and
(b) The cost of the item can be measured reliably.
• Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment are recognised in
accordance with this Standard when they meet the definition of property, plant and equipment.
Otherwise, such items are classified as inventory.
• This Standard does not prescribe the unit of measure for recognition, i.e., what constitutes an item
of property, plant and equipment. Thus, judgment is required in applying the recognition criteria to
specific circumstances of an enterprise.
• An enterprise evaluates under this recognition principle all its costs on property, plant and
equipment at the time they are incurred. These costs include costs incurred:
(a) Initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment; and
(b) Subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it.
Initial Costs: The definition of ‘property, plant and equipment’ covers tangible items which are held for
use or for administrative purposes. The term ‘administrative purposes’ has been used in wider sense to
include all business purposes other than production or supply of goods or services or for rental for othe₹
Thus, property, plant and equipment would include assets used for selling and distribution, finance and
accounting, personnel and other functions of an enterprise. Items of property, plant and equipment may
also be acquired for safety or environmental reasons. The acquisition of such property, plant and
equipment, although not directly increasing the future economic benefits of any particular existing item
of property, plant and equipment, may be necessary for an enterprise to obtain the future economic
benefits from its other assets. Such items of property, plant and equipment qualify for recognition as
assets because they enable an enterprise to derive future economic benefits from related assets in excess
of what could be derived had those items not been acquired. For example, a chemical manufacturer may
install new chemical handling processes to comply with environmental requirements for the production
and storage of dangerous chemicals; related plant enhancements are recognised as an asset because
without them the enterprise is unable to manufacture and sell chemicals. The resulting carrying amount
of such an asset and related assets is reviewed for impairment in accordance with AS 28, Impairment of
Assets.
Subsequent Costs:
• Under the recognition principle (as mentioned above), an enterprise does not recognise in the
carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the costs of the day-today servicing of
the item. Rather, these costs are recognised in the statement of profit and loss as incurred. Costs of
day-to-day servicing are primarily the costs of labour and consumables, and may include the cost of
small parts. The purpose of such expenditures is often described as for the ‘repairs and
maintenance’ of the item of property, plant and equipment.
• Parts of some items of property, plant and equipment may require replacement at regular intervals
or it may require replacement several times. Items of property, plant and equipment may also be
acquired to make a less frequently recurring replacement or to make a non-recurring replacement.
Under the recognition principle (as discussed above), an enterprise recognises in the carrying
amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when
that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met. The carrying amount of those parts that are
replaced is derecognised in accordance with the ‘derecognition provisions’ of this Standard.
• A condition of continuing to operate an item of property, plant and equipment may be performing
regular major inspections for faults regardless of whether parts of the item are replaced. When each
major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the carrying amount of the item of property,
plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. Any remaining
carrying amount of the cost of the previous inspection is derecognised.
• The derecognition of the carrying amount occurs regardless of whether the cost of the previous part
inspection was identified in the transaction in which the item was acquired or constructed. If it is not
practicable for an enterprise to determine the carrying amount of the replaced part/ inspection, it
may use the cost of the replacement or the estimated cost of a future similar inspection as an
indication of what the cost of the replaced part/ existing inspection component was when the item
was acquired or constructed.
Measurement at Recognition:
An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset should be measured at
its cost.
Elements of Cost:
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises:
(a) its purchase price, including import duties and non –refundable purchase taxes, after deducting
trade discounts and rebates.
(b) any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to
be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
(c) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling, removing the item and restoring the site on which it is
located, referred to as ‘decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities’, the obligation for which
an enterprise incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item
during a particular period for purposes other than to produce inventories during that period.
Measurement of Cost:
• The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is the cash price equivalent at the
recognition date. If payment is deferred beyond normal credit terms, the difference between the
cash price equivalent and the total payment is recognised as interest over the period of credit
unless such interest is capitalised in accordance with AS 16.
• One or more items of property, plant and equipment may be acquired in exchange for a non-
monetary asset or assets, or a combination of monetary and non-monetary assets. The following
discussion refers simply to an exchange of one non-monetary asset for another, but it also
applies to all exchanges described in the preceding sentence. The cost of such an item of
property, plant and equipment is measured at fair value unless (a) the exchange transaction lacks
commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither the asset(s) received nor the asset(s) given
up is reliably measurable.
The acquired item(s) is/are measured in this manner even if an enterprise cannot immediately
derecognise the asset given up. If the acquired item(s) is/are not measured at fair value, its/their
cost is measured at the carrying amount of the asset(s) given up.
• An enterprise determines whether an exchange transaction has commercial substance by
considering the extent to which its future cash flows are expected to change as a result of the
transaction. An exchange transaction has commercial substance if:
(a) the configuration (risk, timing and amount) of the cash flows of the asset received differs
from the configuration of the cash flows of the asset transferred; or
(b) the enterprise-specific value of the portion of the operations of the enterprise affected by
the transaction changes as a result of the exchange;
(c) and the difference in (a) or
(d) is significant relative to the fair value of the assets exchanged.
• For the purpose of determining whether an exchange transaction has commercial substance, the
enterprise -specific value of the portion of operations of the enterprise affected by the
transaction should reflect post-tax cash flows. In certain cases, the result of these analyses may
be clear without an enterprise having to perform detailed calculations.
• The fair value of an asset is reliably measurable if (a) the variability in the range of reasonable fair
value measurements is not significant for that asset or (b) the probabilities of the various
estimates within the range can be reasonably assessed and used when measuring fair value. If an
enterprise is able to measure reliably the fair value of either the asset received or the asset given
up, then the fair value of the asset given up is used to measure the cost of the asset received
unless the fair value of the asset received is more clearly evident.
• Where several items of property, plant and equipment are purchased for a consolidated price,
the consideration is apportioned to the various items on the basis of their respective fair values
at the date of acquisition. In case the fair values of the items acquired cannot be measured
reliably, these values are estimated on a fair basis as determined by competent value₹
carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value
at the balance sheet date.
• The fair value of items of property, plant and equipment is usually determined from market-
based evidence by appraisal that is normally undertaken by professionally qualified value₹
• If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the item of
property, plant and equipment and the item is rarely sold, except as part of a continuing
business, an enterprise may need to estimate fair value using an income approach (for example,
based on discounted cash flow projections) or a depreciated replacement cost approach which
aims at making a realistic estimate of the current cost of acquiring or constructing an item that
has the same service potential as the existing item.
• The frequency of revaluations depends upon the changes in fair values of the items of property,
plant and equipment being revalued. When the fair value of a revalued asset differs materially
from its carrying amount, a further revaluation is required. Some items of property, plant and
equipment experience significant and volatile changes in fair value, thus necessitating annual
revaluation. Such frequent revaluations are unnecessary for items of property, plant and
equipment with only insignificant changes in fair value. Instead, it may be necessary to revalue
the item only every three or five yea₹
• When an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued, the carrying amount of that asset is
adjusted to the revalued amount. At the date of the revaluation, the asset is treated in one of the
following ways:
a. the gross carrying amount is adjusted in a manner that is consistent with the revaluation of
the carrying amount of the asset; or
b. the accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.
• If an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued, the entire class of property, plant and
equipment to which that asset belongs should be revalued.
• The items within a class of property, plant and equipment are revalued simultaneously to avoid
selective revaluation of assets and the reporting of amounts in the financial statements that are
a mixture of costs and values as at different dates. However, a class of assets may be revalued on
a rolling basis provided revaluation of the class of assets is completed within a short period and
provided the revaluations are kept up to date.
• An increase in the carrying amount of an asset arising on revaluation should be credited directly
to owners’ interests under the heading of revaluation surplus. However, the increase should be
recognised in the statement of profit and loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation
decrease of the same asset previously recognized in the statement of profit and loss.
• A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset arising on revaluation should be charged to the
statement of profit and loss. However, the decrease should be debited directly to owners’
interests under the heading of revaluation surplus to the extent of any credit balance existing in
the revaluation surplus in respect of that asset.
• The revaluation surplus included in owners’ interests in respect of an item of property, plant and
equipment may be transferred to the revenue reserves when the asset is derecognised. This may
involve transferring the whole of the surplus when the asset is retired or disposed of. However,
some of the surplus may be transferred as the asset issued by an enterprise. In such a case, the
amount of the surplus transferred would be the difference between depreciation based on the
revalued carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on its original cost. Transfers from
revaluation surplus to the revenue reserves are not made through the statement of profit and
loss.
Depreciation:
• Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to
the total cost of the item should be depreciated separately.
• An enterprise allocates the amount initially recognised in respect of an item of property, plant
and equipment to its significant parts and depreciates each such part separately. For example, it
may be appropriate to depreciate separately the airframe and engines of an aircraft, whether
owned or subject to a finance lease.
• A significant part of an item of property, plant and equipment may have a useful life and a
depreciation method that are the same as the useful life and the depreciation method of another
significant part of that same item. Such parts may be grouped in determining the depreciation
charge.
• To the extent that an enterprise depreciates separately some parts of an item of property, plant
and equipment, it also depreciates separately the remainder of the item. The remainder consists
of the parts of the item that are individually not significant. If an enterprise has varying
expectations for these parts, approximation techniques may be necessary to depreciate the
remainder in a manner that faithfully represents the consumption pattern and/or useful life of its
parts.
• An enterprise may choose to depreciate separately the parts of an item that do not have a cost
that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item.
• The depreciation charge for each period should be recognised in the statement of profit and loss
unless it is included in the carrying amount of another asset.
• The depreciation charge for a period is usually recognised in the statement of profit and loss.
However, sometimes, the future economic benefits embodied in an asset are absorbed in
producing other assets. In this case, the depreciation charge constitutes part of the cost of the
other asset and is included in its carrying amount. For example, the depreciation of
manufacturing plant and equipment is included in the costs of conversion of inventories (see AS
2). Similarly, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment used for development activities
may be included in the cost of an intangible asset recognised in accordance with AS 26,
Intangible Assets.
b. expected physical wear and tear, which depends on operational factors such as the number
of shifts for which the asset is to be used and the repair and maintenance programme, and
the care and maintenance of the asset while idle.
c. technical or commercial obsolescence arising from changes or improvements in production,
or from a change in the market demand for the product or service output of the asset.
Expected future reductions in the selling price of an item that was produced using an asset
could indicate the expectation of technical or commercial obsolescence of the asset, which,
in turn, might reflect a reduction of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
d. legal or similar limits on the use of the asset, such as the expiry dates of related leases.
• The useful life of an asset is defined in terms of its expected utility to the enterprise. The asset
management policy of the enterprise may involve the disposal of assets after as specified time or
after consumption of specified proportion of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
Therefore, the useful life of an asset may be shorter than its economic life. The estimation of the
useful life of the asset is a matter of judgment based on the experience of the enterprise with similar
assets.
• Land and buildings are separable assets and are accounted for separately, even when they are
acquired together. With some exceptions, such as quarries and sites used for landfill, land has an
unlimited useful life and therefore is not depreciated. Buildings have a limited useful life and
therefore are depreciable assets. An increase in the value of the land on which a building stands does
not affect the determination of the depreciable amount of the building.
• If the cost of land includes the costs of site dismantlement, removal and restoration, that portion of
the land asset is depreciated over the period of benefits obtained by incurring those costs. In some
cases, the land itself may have a limited useful life, in which case it is depreciated in a manner that
reflects the benefits to be derived from it.
Depreciation Method:
• The depreciation method used should reflect the pattern in which the future economic benefits of
the asset are expected to be consumed by the enterprise.
• The depreciation method applied to an asset should be reviewed at least at each financial year-end
and, if there has been a significant change in the expected pattern of consumption of the future
economic benefits embodied in the asset, the method should be changed to reflect the changed
pattern. Such a change should be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance
with AS 5.
• A variety of depreciation methods can be used to allocate the depreciable amount of an asset on a
systematic basis over its useful life. These methods include the straight-line method, the diminishing
balance method and the units of production method. Straight-line depreciation results in a constant
charge over the useful life if the residual value of the asset does not change. The diminishing balance
method results in a decreasing charge over the useful life. The units of production method results in a
charge based on the expected use or output. The enterprise selects the method that most closely
reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the asset.
That method is applied consistently from period to period unless there is a change in the expected
pattern of consumption of those future economic benefits or that the method is changed in
accordance with the statute to best reflect the way the asset is consumed.
• A depreciation method that is based on revenue that is generated by an activity that includes the use
of an asset is not appropriate. The revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset
generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits of the asset. For
example, revenue is affected by other inputs and processes, selling activities and changes in sales
volumes and prices. The price component of revenue may be affected by inflation, which has no
bearing upon the way in which an asset is consumed.
✓ If the adjustment results in an addition to the cost of an asset, the enterprise should consider
whether this is an indication that the new carrying amount of the asset may not be fully
recoverable. If it is such an indication, the enterprise should test the asset for impairment by
estimating its recoverable amount, and should account for any impairment loss, in accordance
with AS 28.
✓ In the event that a decrease in the liability exceeds the carrying amount that would have been
recognised had the asset been carried under the cost model, the excess should be recognised
immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
✓ A change in the liability is an indication that the asset may have to be revalued in order to ensure
that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using
fair value at the balance sheet date. Any such revaluation should be taken into account in
determining the amounts to be taken to the statement of profit and loss and the owners’
interest. If are valuation is necessary, all assets of that class should be revalued.
The adjusted depreciable amount of the asset is depreciated over its useful life. Therefore, once the
related asset has reached the end of its useful life, all subsequent changes in the liability should be
recognised in the statement of profit and loss as they occur. This applies under both the cost model and
the revaluation model.
✓ Compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were impaired,
lost or given up should be included in the statement of profit and loss when the compensation
becomes receivable.
✓ Impairments or losses of items of property, plant and equipment, related claims for or payments of
compensation from third parties and any subsequent purchase or construction of replacement
assets are separate economic events and are accounted for separately as follows:
✓ Impairments of items of property, plant and equipment are recognized in accordance with AS
28;
✓ Derecognition of items of property, plant and equipment retired or disposed of is determined
in accordance with this Standard;
✓ Compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were
impaired, lost or given up is included in determining profit or loss when it becomes
receivable; and
✓ The cost of items of property, plant and equipment restored, purchased or constructed as
replacements is determined in accordance with this Standard.
Retirements: Items of property, plant and equipment retired from active use and held for disposal
should be stated at the lower of their carrying amount and net realizable value. Any write-down in this
regard should be recognised immediately in the statement of profit and loss.
Derecognition:
• The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment should be derecognised
✓ on disposal; or
✓ when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal.
• The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment should
be included in the statement of profit and loss when the item is derecognised (unless AS 19, Leases,
requires otherwise on a sale and leaseback).Gains should not be classified as revenue, as defined in
AS 9, Revenue Recognition.
• However, an enterprise that in the course of its ordinary activities, routinely sells items of property,
plant and equipment that it had held for rental to others should transfer such assets to inventories
at their carrying amount when they cease to be rented and become held for sale. The proceeds from
the sale of such assets should be recognised in revenue in accordance with AS 9, Revenue
Recognition.
• The disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment may occur in a variety of ways (e.g. by
sale, by entering into a finance lease or by donation). In determining the date of disposal of an item,
an enterprise applies the criteria in AS 19 for recognizing revenue from the sale of goods. AS 19,
Leases, applies to disposal by a sale and lease back.
• If, under the recognition principle, an enterprise recognises in the carrying amount of an item of
property, plant and equipment the cost of a replacement for part of the item, then it derecognises
the carrying amount of the replaced part regardless of whether the replaced part had been
depreciated separately. If it is not practicable for an enterprise to determine the carrying amount of
the replaced part, it may use the cost of the replacement as an indication of what the cost of the
replaced part was at the time it was acquired or constructed.
• The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment should
be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount
of the item.
• The consideration receivable on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised
in accordance with the principles enunciated in AS 9.
Disclosure:
• The financial statements should disclose, for each class of property, plant and equipment:
a. the measurement bases (i.e., cost model or revaluation model) used for determining the
gross carrying amount;
b. the depreciation methods used;
c. the useful lives or the depreciation rates used. In case the useful lives or the depreciation
rates used are different from those specified in the statute governing the enterprise, it
should make a specific mention of that fact;
d. the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation (aggregated with accumulated
impairment losses) at the beginning and end of the period; and
e. a reconciliation of the carrying amount at the beginning and end of the period showing:
additions; assets retired from active use and held for disposal; acquisitions through business
combinations; increases or decreases resulting from revaluations and from impairment
losses; recognised or reversed directly in revaluation surplus in accordance with AS
28;impairment losses recognised in the statement of profit and loss in accordance with AS
28;impairment losses reversed in the statement of profit and loss in accordance with AS
28;depreciation;the net exchange differences arising on the translation of the financial
statements of a non-integral foreign operation in accordance with AS 11, The Effects of
Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates; and other changes.
• The financial statements should also disclose: the existence and amounts of restrictions on title, and
property, plant and equipment pledged as security for liabilities; the amount of expenditure
recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment in the course of its
construction; the amount of contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and
equipment; if it is not disclosed separately on the face of the statement of profit and loss, the
amount of compensation from third parties for items of property, plant and equipment that were
impaired, lost or given up that is included in the statement of profit and loss; and the amount of
assets retired from active use and held for disposal.
• Selection of the depreciation method and estimation of the useful life of assets are matters of
judgement. Therefore, disclosure of the methods adopted and the estimated useful lives or
depreciation rates provides users of financial statements with information that allows them to
review the policies selected by management and enables comparisons to be made with other
enterprises. For similar reasons, it is necessary to disclose: depreciation, whether recognised in the
statement of profit and loss or as a part of the cost of other assets, during a period; and
accumulated depreciation at the end of the period.
• In accordance with AS 5, an enterprise discloses the nature and effect of a change in an accounting
estimate that has an effect in the current period or is expected to have an effect in subsequent
periods. For property, plant and equipment, such disclosure may arise from changes in estimates
with respect to: residual values; the estimated costs of dismantling, removing or restoring items of
property, plant and equipment; useful lives; and depreciation methods.
• If items of property, plant and equipment are stated at revalued amounts, the following should be
disclosed: the effective date of the revaluation; whether an independent valuer was involved; the
methods and significant assumptions applied in estimating fair values of the items; the extent to
which fair values of the items were determined directly by reference to observable prices in an
active market or recent market transactions on arm’s length terms or were estimated using other
valuation techniques; and the revaluation surplus, indicating the change for the period and any
restrictions on the distribution of the balance to shareholde₹
• An enterprise is encouraged to disclose the following: the carrying amount of temporarily idle
property, plant and equipment; the gross carrying amount of any fully depreciated property, plant
and equipment that is still in use; for each revalued class of property, plant and equipment, the
carrying amount that would have been recognised had the assets been carried under the cost
model; the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment retired from active use and not held
for disposal.
Translation Provisions:
• Where an entity has in past recognized expenditure in the statement of profit and loss which is
eligible to be included as a part of the cost of a project for construction of property, plant and
equipment in accordance with the requirements, it may do so retrospectively for such a project. The
effect of such retrospective application of this requirement, should be recognised net-of-tax in
revenue reserves.
• The requirements regarding the initial measurement of an item of property, plant and equipment
acquired in an exchange of assets transaction should be applied prospectively only to transactions
entered into after this Standard becomes mandatory.
• On the date of this Standard becoming mandatory, the spare parts, which hitherto were being
treated as inventory under AS 2, Valuation of Inventories, and are now required to be capitalised in
accordance with the requirements of this Standard, should be capitalised at their respective carrying
amounts. The spare parts so capitalised should be depreciated over their remaining useful lives
prospectively as per the requirements of this Standard.
• The requirements regarding the revaluation model should be applied prospectively. In case, on the
date of this Standard becoming mandatory, an enterprise does not adopt the revaluation model as
its accounting policy but the carrying amount of item(s) of property, plant and equipment reflects
any previous revaluation it should adjust the amount outstanding in the revaluation reserve against
the carrying amount of that item. However, the carrying amount of that item should never be less
than residual value. Any excess of the amount outstanding as revaluation reserve over the carrying
amount of that item should be adjusted in revenue reserves.
A transaction in a foreign currency is recorded in the financial records of an enterprise normally at the
rate.
(a) On the date of transaction i.e. spot rate,
(b) Approximate actual rate i.e. averaging the rates during the week/month in which transactions occur
if there is no significant fluctuations.
(c) Weighted average in the above line.
However, for interrelated transaction (by virtue of being set off against receivables and payables) it is
translated with reference to the net amount on the date of transaction.
After initial recognition, the exchange difference on the reporting date of financial statement should be
treated as under:
(a) Monetary items like foreign currency balance, receivables, payables, loans at closing rate (in case of
restriction or remittance other than temporary or when the closing rate is unrealistic, it is reported
at the rate likely to be realized).
(b) Non-monetary items like fixed assets, which are recorded at historical cost, should be made at the
rate on the date of transaction.
(c) Non-monetary items other than fixed assets are carried at fair value or net realizable value on the
date which they are determined i.e. B/S date (inventories, investments in equity-shares).
Exchange difference on repayment of liabilities incurred for acquiring fixed assets should be adjusted in
the carrying amount of fixed assets on reporting date. The same concept applies to revaluation as well but
in case such adjustment on revaluation should result into showing the actual book value of the fixed
assets/or class of, exceeding the recoverable amount, the remaining amount of the increase in liability
should be debited to Revaluation Reserve or P/L Statement in case of inadequacy/ absence of Revaluation
Reserve.
Except as stated above (fixed assets) other exchange difference should be recognized as income or
expense in the period in which they arise or spread over to pertaining accounting period.

➢ Head office account.
Solution:
As per AS-11, all foreign currency transactions should be recorded by applying the exchange rate at the
date of transaction. Therefore, goods purchased on 24.03.2016 and coresponding creditor would be
recorded at ₹ 64.60
= 1,00,000 x 64.60 = ₹64,60,000
As per AS-11, at the balance sheet date all monetary items should be reported using the closing rate.
Therefore, the creditors of US $1,00,000 outstanding on 31.3.2016 will be reported as:
1,00,000 x 65.00 =₹ 65,00,000.
Exchange loss₹ 40,000 (= 65,00,000 – 64,60,000) should be debited in Profit and Loss Account for 2016-17.
As per AS-11, exchange difference on settlement on monetary items should be transferred to Profit and
Loss Account as gain or loss thereof:
1,00,000 x 65.50 =₹ 65,50,000 – 65,00,000 =₹50,000 should be debited to profit or loss for the year 2016-17.
Question 10. Z Ltd. acquired a machine on 1.4.2016 costing US $ 1,00,000. The suppliers agreed to the
following terms of payment:
1.4.2016 : down payment 50%
1.4.2017 : 25%
1.4.2018 : 25%
The company depreciates machinery @ 10% on the Straight-Line Method. The rate of exchange is steady
at US $ 1=₹60 up to 30.9.2017. On 1.10.2017, due to an official revaluation of rates, the exchange rate is
adjusted to US $ 1=₹68.

the profit from contract will be recognised in the books.
Solution: Government participation as equity holders is not covered by AS–12. Government is also one of
the shareholders of the company hence the receipt is a contribution towards capital.
Problem 2: On 1st April 2010 Sizzler Ltd purchases an asset at ₹ 10,00,000, Salvage value ₹ 1,00,000, life 5
years. Government grant received in September 2010 ₹ 3,00,000. Due to non–compliance of some
conditions attached with the asset the whole grant become refundable in the year 2012-13. Compute
Depreciation in the year 2012-13. (Assume SLM depreciation). Sizzler Ltd. adopts capital approach.
Problem 3: Top & Limited has set up its business in a designated backward area which entitles the
company to receive from the Government of India a subsidy of 20% of the cost of investment. Having
fulfilled all the conditions under the scheme, the company on its investment of ₹ 50 crore in capital
assets, received ₹ 10 crore from the Government in January, 2005 (accounting period being 2004-2005).
The company wants to treat this receipt as an item of revenue and thereby reduce the losses on profit
and loss account for the year ended 31st March, 2005.
Keeping in view the relevant Accounting Standard, discuss whether this action is justified or not.
(C.A. Final Nov. 1995 & May 2005) (3/4 Marks respectively)
Solution: As per AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, where the government grants are of the
nature of promoter’s contribution, i.e. they are given with reference to the total investment in an
undertaking or by way of contribution towards it total capital outlay (for example, central investment
subsidy scheme) and no repayment is ordinarily expected in respect thereof, the grants are treated as
capital reserve which can be neither distributed as dividend nor considered as deferred income.
In the given case, the subsidy received is neither in relation to specific fixed asset no in relation to
revenue.
Thus it is inappropriate to recognize government grants in the profit and loss statement, since they are
not earned but represent an incentive provided by government without related costs. The correct
treatment is to credit the subsidy to capital reserve. Therefore, the accounting treatment followed by the
company is not proper.
Problem :4 Dark Ltd has received grant of ₹ 20 lacs under the Government subsidy scheme for acquiring
imported machinery for setting up an oil exploration plant and the entire grant received is credited to
profit and loss account.
Solution: The treatment given is wrong, because when we received grant against machine then it called
capital grant. So it should be reduced from the cost of machinery (capital approach) or transfer to Balance
Sheet on liabilities side as deferred income (income approach). It is incorrect to transfer the grant to profit
and loss a/c.
Problem 5: A Company receives a grant from the State Government as compensation for loss of stocks
due to unseasonal floods. The entire grant received is credited to “Capital Reserve”. Comment on the
accounting treatment.
Solution: Where the grant is in the nature of compensation for any past losses (sick companies) or
immediate financial support (flood affected company) then such grant should be treated as per AS – 5
(Extra-ordinary activity). In the present case the company has to show such govt. receipt as extraordinary
receipt.
Problem 6: Primus hospitals Ltd. had acquired 40 units of Doppler scan machines from Holiver USA at a
cost of US$ 1,65,100 per unit in the beginning of Financial Year 2008-09. The prevailing rate of exchange
was ₹ 50 to the US$. The acquisition was partly funded out of a government grant of ₹ 5 crores. The grant
relating to such machines was given with a rider that in the event of a change in management, the entity is
bound to return the grant. In April 2011, 51% control in the company was taken over by an overseas
investor. The expected productive period of such an asset is normally reckoned at 5 years. The
depreciation rate adopted was 20% p.a. S.L.M. basis. The company had incurred expenditure of US$4,000
towards bank charges and ₹ 7,500 per unit as sea freight. you are also informed that neither capital
reserve nor deferred income account has been maintained by the company. You are required to suggest
the accounting treatment as a result of the return of the grant, in the light of the relevant AS.

Problem 10. Santosh Ltd has received a grant of Rs 8 crores from the government for setting up a factory in a
backward area. Out of this grant, the company distributed Rs 2 crore as dividend. Also Santosh Ltd received
land free of cost from the state government but it has not recorded it at all in the book as no money has
been spent. In the light of AS 12, examine, whether the treatment of both the grants is correct.
Solution: As per AS-12 ‘accounting for government grants’, when government grant is received for a specific
purpose, it should be utilised for the same. So the grant received for setting up a factory is not available for
distribution of dividend.
In the second case, even if the company has not spent money for the acquisition of land, land should be
recorded in the book of accounts at its nominal value.
Problem 11. How would you treat the following in the accounts in accordance with AS-12 ‘government grants’?
i) Rs 35 lakhs received from the local authority for providing Medical facilities to the employees.
ii) Rs 100 lakhs received as subsidy from the central government for setting up a unit in notified backward
area. This subsidy is in nature of promoter’s contribution.
Solution: i) Rs 35 lakhs received from the local authority for providing medical facilities to the employees is a
grant received in the nature of revenue grant. Such grants are generally presented as a credit in the profit and
loss statement, either separately or under a general heading such as ‘other income’. Alternatively, Rs 35 lakhs
may be deducted in reporting the related expense i.e. employee benefit expenses.
ii) as per AS-12 ‘accounting for government grants’, where the government grants are in the nature of
promoters’contribution, i.e. they are given with reference to the total investment in an undertaking or by the
way of contribution towards its total capital outlay and no repayment is ordinarily expected in respect thereof,
the grants are treated as capital reserve which can be neither distributed as dividend nor considered as
deffered income. In the given case, the subsidy received from the central government for setting up a unit in
notified backward area is neither in relation to specific asset nor in relation to revenue. Thus, amount of Rs
100 lakhs should be credited to capital reserve.
Question 12. A fixed asset is purchased for ₹ 20 lakhs. Government grant received towards it is ₹ 8 lakhs.
Residual value is ₹ 4 lakhs and useful life is 4 years. Assume depreciation on the basis of straight line
method. Asset is shown in the balance sheet at net of grant. After 1 year, grant becomes refundable to the
extent of ₹5 lakhs due to non-compliance with certain conditions. Pass journal entries for 2 years.

Problem 13: On 1.4.2021, ABC Ltd received grant of ₹300 lakhs for acquisition of machinery costing ₹1500 lakhs. The
grant was credited to the cost of asset. The life of machinery is 5 years. The machinery is depreciated at 20% on
WDV basis. The company had to refund the grant in may 2024 due to non-fulfillment of certain conditions.
How you would deal with the refund of grant in the books of ABC Ltd assuming that the company did not charge any
depreciation for the year 2024.
Solution: according to AS-12 on accounting for government grants, the amount refundable in respect of a grant
related to a specific fixed asset should be recorded by increasing the book value of the asset or by reducing deffered
income balance, as appropriate, by the amount refundable. Where the book value is increased, depreciation on the
revised book value should be provided prospectively over the residual useful life of the asset.

Revised book value 914.40
Depreciation @ 20% on the revised book value amounting ₹914.40 lakhs is to be provided prospectively over the
residual useful life of the asset.
Problem 14. A ltd purchased a machinery for ₹40 lakhs. Useful life 4 years and residual value ₹8 lakhs. Government
grant received is ₹16 lakhs. Show journal entry to be passed at the time of refund of grant in the 3rd year and the
value of fixed assets, if:
Case 2. If the grant is credited to deffered grant account: as per AS-12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants’, income
from deffered grant account is allocated to profit and loss account usually over the periods and in the proportions in
which depreciation on related assets is charged. Accordingly, in the first 2 years (16lakhs/4years) = 4 lakhs p.a. X 2
years = 8 lakhs were credited to profit and loss account and 8 lakhs was the balance of deffered grant account after
2 years.
Therefore, on refund in the 3rd year, the following entry will be passed:
Note: deffered grant account will become nil. The fixed assets will continue to be shown in the books at ₹24 lakhs and
depreciation will continue to be charged at ₹8 lakhs p.a. for the remaining 2 years.
