Explain CRR and you are required to calculate the amount of Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) as per the
direction of reserve Bank of India.
Answer 3(b)
Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR): For smoothly meeting cash payment requirement, banks are required to
maintain certain minimum ready cash balances at all times. This is called as Cash Reserve Ratio
(CRR). Cash reserve can be maintained by way of either a cash reserve with itself or as balance in a
current account with the Reserve Bank of India or by way of net balance in current accounts or in one
or more
of the aforesaid ways. Every Scheduled Commercial Bank has to maintain cash reserve ratio (i.e.
CRR) as per direction of the RBI. The current Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) is 4% of their Net Demand
and Time Liabilities (NDTL).

Answer 6(a)
This would be the case of downstream transaction. In the consolidated profit and loss account for the year
ended 31 March 2020, entire transaction of sale and purchase of Rs. 200 lacs each, would be eliminated by
reducing both sales and purchases (cost of sales). Further, the unrealized profits of Rs. 20 lacs (i.e. Rs. 200
lacs – Rs. 180 lacs), would be eliminated from the consolidated financial statements for financial year ended
31 March 2020, by reducing the consolidated profits/ increasing the consolidated losses, and reducing the value
of closing inventories as of 31 March 2020.
Question 6(b) 5
Muraad Ltd. acquired a patent at a cost of Rs. 2,40,00,000 for a period of 5 years and the product life-cycle
was also 5 years. The company capitalized the cost and started amortizing the asset at Rs. 48,00,000 per annum.
After two years it was found that the product life-cycle may continue for another 5 years from then. The net
cash flows from the product during these 5 years were expected to be Rs. 36,00,000, Rs. 46,00,000, Rs.
44,00,000, Rs. 40,00,000 and Rs. 34,00,000. Find out the amortization cost of the patent for each of the years
if the patent was renewable and Muraad Ltd. got it renewed after expiry of five years.
Answer 6(b)
The entity amortised Rs. 48,00,000 per annum for the first two years i.e. Rs. 96,00,000. The remaining carrying
cost can be amortized during next 5 years on the basis of net cash flows arising from the sale of the product.
The amortisation may be found as follows:
(i) A suit against the company's advertisement was filed by a party on 20th April, 2018, claiming damages of
` 25 lakhs.
(ii) The terms and conditions for acquisition of business of another company have been decided by March,
2018. But the financial resources were arranged in April, 2018 and amount invested was ` 50 lakhs.
(iii) Theft of cash of ` 5 lakhs by the cashier on 31st March, 2018 but was detected on 16th July, 2018.
(iv) Company sent a proposal to sell an immovable property for ` 40 lakhs in March, 2018. The book value of
the property was ` 30 lakhs on 31st March, 2018. However, the deed was registered on 15th April, 2018.
(v) A, major fire has damaged the assets in a factory on 5th April, 2018. However, the assets are fully insured.
With reference to AS-4 "Contingencies and events occurring after the balance sheet date", state whether the
above mentioned events will be treated as contingencies, adjusting events or non-adjusting events occurring
after the balance sheet date.
Answer 6(c)
(i) Suit filed against the company is a contingent liability but it was not existing as on balance sheet
date as the suit was filed on 20th April after the balance Sheet date. As per AS 4, 'Contingencies'
used in the Standard is restricted to conditions or situations at the balance sheet date, the
financial effect of which is to be determined by future events which may or may not occur.
Hence, it will have no effect on financial statements and will be a non-adjusting event.
(ii) In the given case, terms and conditions for acquisition of business were finalised and carried out
before the closure of the books of accounts but transaction for payment of financial resources
was effected in April, 2018. This is clearly an event occuring after the balance sheet date. Hence,
necessary adjustment to assets and liabilities for acquisition of business is necessary in the
financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2018.
(iii) Only those significant events which occur between the balance sheet date and the date on which
the financial statements are approved, may indicate the need for adjustment to assets and
liabilities existing on the balance sheet date or may require disclosure. In the given case, theft of
cash was detected on 16th July, 18 after approval of financial statements by the Board of
Directors, hence no treatment is required.
(iv) Adjustments to assets and liabilities are not appropriate for events occurring after the balance
sheet date, if such events do not relate to conditions existing at the balance sheet date. In the
given case, sale of immovable property was under proposal stage (negotiations also not started)
on the balance sheet date. Therefore, no adjustment to assets for sale of immovable property is
required in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2018.
(v) The condition of fire occurrence was not existing on the balance sheet date. Only the disclosure
regarding event of fire and loss being completely insured may be given in the report of
approving authority.
Question 6(d) 5
Explain in brief, the alternative measurement bases, for determining the value at which an element can be
recognized in the Balance Sheet or Statement of Profit and Loss.
1. Historical Cost: Historical cost means acquisition price. According to this, assets are recorded at an amount
of cash or cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the asset at the time of acquisition. Liabilities are generally
recorded at the amount of proceeds received in exchange for the obligation.
2. Current Cost: Current cost gives an alternative measurement basis. Assets are carried out at the amount of
cash or cash equivalent that would have to be paid if the same or an equivalent asset was acquired currently.
Liabilities are carried at the undiscounted amount of cash or cash equivalents that would be required to settle
the obligation currently.
3. Realisable (Settlement) Value: As per realisable value, assets are carried at the amount of cash or cash
equivalents that could currently be obtained by selling the assets in an orderly disposal. Liabilities are carried
at their settlement values; i.e. the undiscounted amount of cash or cash equivalents paid to satisfy the liabilities
in the normal course of business.
4. Present Value: Under present value convention, assets are carried at present value of future net cash flows
generated by the concerned assets in the normal course of business. Liabilities under this convention are carried
at present value of future net cash flows that are expected to be required to settle the liability in the normal
course of business.
