Cma Final CFR Syllabus 2022
Important Definitions:
1. Ind AS are standards prescribed under section 133 of co. act 2013.
2. Material: - omissions or misstatements of items are material is they could individually or collectively influence the
economics decisions that users make on the basis of the financial statements.
Materiality depends on the size or nature of the item or a combination of both, to be judged based on particular facts and
in particular circumstances.
The nature or size of the item or a combination of both could be the determining factor.
3. Notes: - contain information in addition to that presented in the Balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and
statement of cash flows.
It provides narrative descriptions (of accounting policies) or disaggregation of items (details of PPE, current
assets etc) presented in those statements and information about items that do not qualify for recognition in those
statements (e.g., contingent liability).
4. Other comprehensive income (OCI): - comprises items of income and expense (including reclassification adjustments)
that are not recognised in profit or loss as required or permitted by other Ind AS.
6. Profit or loss: - is the total of income less expenses, excluding the components of other comprehensive income (OCI).
7. Reclassification adjustments: - are amounts reclassified to profit or loss in the current period that were recognised in
other comprehensive income in the current or previous periods.
8. Total comprehensive income (TCI): - is the change in equity during a period resulting from transactions and other
events, other than those changes resulting from transactions with owners in their capacity as owners.
Detail study:
A complete set of financial statements comprises:
Inappropriate Accounting Policies cannot be rectified either by disclosure of accounting policies used or by notes or other
explanatory materials.
Departure from complying with the prescriptions laid down in the standards: - in extremely rare circumstance, the entity may
find it appropriate to make a departure from complying with the prescriptions laid down in the standards.
This may happen in cases where the management concludes that complying with a requirement in an Ind AS would be
misleading and deviation from a particular requirement is required or not prohibited by the regulatory framework.
In the above case it is required to disclose that the entity has complied with all Ind AS, except for that particular requirement. That
entity is also required to give a description of the title of the standard and the accounting treatment required under the standard, the
nature of departure and the reasons justifying the compliance with requirement would be misleading.
2. Going concern assumption: - An entity is required to make an assessment of its ability to continue as going concern and
prepare the financial statements on going concern basis unless the management
⎯ Either intends to liquidate the entity or cease trading, or
⎯ Has no realistic alternative but to do so
If going concern assumption is not valid, the entity shall prepare the financial statement by adopting any other appropriate
basis of accounting supported by disclosure covering:
Question 1. Is there any specific disclosure requirement as per Ind AS-1 for a Company in Liquidation?
Answer: For a Company in liquidation, the fundamental accounting assumption of Going Concern is apparently not valid. The
Carrying Amounts of assets and liabilities would reflect the Realisable Value.
As per Ind AS-1, when an Entity does not prepare Financial Statements on a going concern basis, it shall disclose –
(a) that fact,
(b) the basis on which it prepared the Financial Statements, and
(c) the reason why the Entity is not regarded as a going concern.
3. Accrual basis of accounting: - while preparing the financial statement the entity shall adopt accrual basis of
accounting except for cash flow statements.
Materiality and Aggregation:
⎯ Where a line item is not, in itself, individually material then it can be aggregated with other items.
⎯ Each material class of similar items should be presented separately in the financial statements, and
⎯ That item of dissimilar nature or function should also be presented separately.
Offsetting: - Items of assets and liabilities, income and expenses are setoff against each other only when such set off is
required or permitted by respective Ind AS.
Example- off setting is allowed in following cases as per their respective Ind AS.
Netting selling expenses with sale proceeds of the assets sold, foreign exchange gains or losses.
Cost = ₹ 85 million
Ans. Gain on sale of PPE ₹ 30 million and selling expense ₹ 2 million can be set off.
Question 3. During 20-21, X ltd. created a provision for warranty claim of ₹ 5 million under Ind AS 37 ‘provision, contingent
liabilities and contingent assets. Reimbursement as per Ind AS 37 is Rs. 2 million. Should the entity present warranty expenses
of ₹ 5 millions as an item of expense and related reimbursement as a separate item of income?
Ans. It shall present warranty provision net of reimbursement as per Ind AS 1 and Ind AS 37.
Question 4. Om Ltd has a vacant land measuring 10,000 sq.mts. which it had no intention to use in the future. The Board of
Directors decided to sell the land to tide over its liquidity problems. The Company made a profit of ₹10 Lakhs by selling the said
Land. There was a fire in the factory and a part of the unused factory valued at ₹ 8 Lakhs was destroyed. The Loss was set off
against the Profit from Sale of Land and a Profit of ₹ 2 Lakh was disclosed as Net Profit from Sale of Assets. Analyse.
Answer: An Entity shall not offset Assets and Liabilities or Income and Expenses, unless required or permitted by an Ind AS.
When items of Income or Expense are material, an Entity shall disclose their nature and amount separately. Disposal of items of
Property, Plant and Equipment is one example of such material item.
Disclosing Net Profits by setting off Fire Losses against Profit from Sale of Land is not correct. As per Ind AS-1, Profit on Sale
of Land, and Loss due to Fire should be disclosed separately.
Frequency of Reporting: -
◼ A complete set of financial statements need to be presented at least annually.
◼ If the time gap between two periods (other than for interim reporting) is shorter or longer than an annual period, the entity
shall disclose the reasons for adopting such a longer or shorter period and mention the fact that the amounts are not entirely
comparable.
◼ The financial information shall be for a minimum of 2 periods i.e., one for current period and another for comparative
previous periods.
◼ Comparative information for the prior period(s) is required to be provided in the notes to account as well.
◼ Comparative information shall be presented in respect of the previous period for all the amounts reported in the
financial statement of the current period.
Question 5. X ltd. found a material error in the financial statement for year 11-12. How should X ltd. present its financial
statement for the year 2014-15.
Solution: - If the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented (i.e., 2013-14), it is required to restate the opening
balance of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented (i.e., 1.04.2013) as per Ind AS 8 and Ind AS 1.
Therefore, X ltd shall restate its Balance Sheet as on 31.03.2013 and it shall present 3 Balance sheets, as on
⎯ 1.04.2013
⎯ 31.03.2014
⎯ 31.03.2015
Consistency of Presentation: - An entity is required to retain the same presentation and classification to ensure
consistency of presentation unless the change is due to

Question 11. A loss of ₹8,00,000 on account of embezzlement of cash was suffered by the Company and it was debited to
Salary Account, discuss.
Answer: Embezzlement of Cash during the course of business is a Business Loss. It is a business hazard which can occur once
in a while.
Loss due to embezzlement of Cash cannot be merged with any other head. Being a material item, it should to be disclosed under
a distinct head in the P&L A/c and not under Salary A/c.
Question 12. A Ltd as part of overall cost cutting measure, announced a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) to reduce its
number of employees. During the first half year, the Company paid a compensation of ₹144 Lakhs to those who availed the
scheme. The Chief Accountant has reflected this payment as part of regular Salaries & Wages paid by the Company. Is this
correct?
Answer: VRS Payments as an overall cost-cutting measure may be considered as a part of routine business activities. The
nature and the amount involved may make it a material item requiring separate disclosure.
The Entity shall present additional line Items, Headings and Sub-Totals in the Statement of Profit and Loss, when such
presentation is relevant to an understanding of the Entity’s financial performance.
VRS payments should not be reflected as Salaries and Wages paid since they do not form part of regular Salaries and Wages
given to Employees. The treatment given by the Company is not proper.

E.g.: - Estimation of the effect of technological obsolescence on inventories caused.
Other Disclosures: - Dividends proposed after reporting period but before financial statements are authorized for issued and
cumulative preference dividend that are not recognized. It should be disclosed that these are not recognized shall be made in

1.1 INTRODUCTION: -- Ind AS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, lays down the foundation for an entity regarding how the
financial statements need to be presented. Ind AS 1 gives equal importance to the disclosure, in notes, of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information besides balance sheet, statement of profit and loss and statement of cash flows.
Accounting policies, estimates and correction of errors play a major role in the presentation of financial statements. That is why
Ind AS 1 states that an entity cannot rectify inappropriate accounting policies either by disclosure of the accounting policies used
or by notes or explanatory material. If there is any change in accounting policies, that needs to be dealt with due diligence and
not just by mere note or explanation.
Further, Ind AS 1 makes it compulsory for the entity to present a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period,
if it applies an accounting policy retrospectively, which has a material effect on the information in the balance sheet at that date.
Further, Ind AS 1 provides detail guidance about the proper disclosure of accounting policies and estimates.
Therefore, in the current chapter we are going to see, how to select the accounting policies, how to make the changes in
accounting policies if needed, how to deal with changes in the estimates, how to rectify errors, etc., as all these elements will
have impact on the true and fair position of the financial statements.
1.2 OBJECTIVE: -
i. To prescribe the criteria for selecting and application accounting policies
ii. To prescribe the accounting treatment and disclosure of changes in accounting policies
iii. To prescribe the accounting treatment and disclosure of changes in accounting estimates
iv. To prescribe the accounting treatment and disclosure of corrections of errors
v. To provide better base for inter-firm and intra-firm comparison
1.4 DEFINITIONS
1. Accounting policies are the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by an entity in preparing
and presenting financial statements.
2. A change in accounting estimate is an adjustment of the carrying amount of an asset or a liability, or the amount of the
periodic consumption of an asset, that results from the assessment of the present status of, and expected future benefits
and obligations associated with, assets and liabilities. Changes in accounting estimates result from new information or
new developments and, accordingly, are not corrections of errors.
3. Prior period errors are omissions from, and misstatements in, the entity’s financial statements for one or more prior
periods arising from a failure to use, or misuse of, reliable information that:
(a) was available when financial statements for those periods were approved for issue; and
(b) could reasonably be expected to have been obtained and taken into account in the preparation and presentation
of those financial statements. Such errors include the effects of mathematical mistakes, mistakes in applying
accounting policies, oversights or misinterpretations of facts, and fraud.
Ind AS 1 narrates the importance of accounting policies but Ind AS 8 goes a step further and gives guidance to the entity as
to how to select and apply accounting policies.
As per Ind AS 8, if any of the Ind AS already specifies the guidelines about following a particular policy, then entity must
follow that standard and apply the policy as per the guidance provided.
In the absence of an Ind AS that specifically applies to a transaction or event or condition, management shall use its
judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in information that is:
(a) relevant to the economic decision-making needs of users; and
(b) reliable in financial statements. It means they
(i) represent faithfully the financial position.
(ii) Reflect economic substance not merely legal form.
(iii) Are neutral i.e., free from bias.
(iv) Are prudent
(v) Are complete in all material respects.
In making the judgement, management shall refer to, and consider the applicability of the following sources in descending
order;
(i) Check if there are any other Ind AS available which are dealing with similar and related issues.
(ii) Check the basic framework of Ind AS, which provides the general principles.
(iii) Check the pronouncement of International Accounting Standard Board (IASB)
(iv) Check the pronouncement of other Standard setting Bodies having a similar conceptual framework.
(v) Check the accounting literature and accepted industries practices.
In exam, if question comes ‘How to select and apply an accounting policy when specific Ind AS is not available on the
particular transaction/condition/event’? -------- write above description.
It means Ind AS leaves the judgement to the entity to decide whether it would be material or not material to apply any
accounting policy. Users are assumed to have a reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and accounting
and a willingness to study the information with reasonable diligence. Therefore, the assessment needs to take into account
how users with such attributes could reasonably be expected to be influenced in making economic decisions.
1.5.4 Changes in accounting policies: -- Frequent changes in accounting policies will make it impossible for a
stakeholder to make the economic decisions properly.
For example, suppose an entity has been following the FIFO method of determination of cost for inventories. In the current
year, it shifts from FIFO to weighted average method. Assuming that cost is less than NRV, it means the opening stock is
valued at FIFO method whereas closing stock is valued at Weighted Average Method, if retrospective application of the
change is impracticable. This will directly impact the gross profit measurement of the entity. Additionally, the opening
inventories and closing inventories will not be comparable.
(a) the application of an accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions that differ in substance from those
previously occurring;
Example: -- A company owns several hotels and provides significant ancillary services to occupants of rooms. These hotels
are, therefore, treated as owner-occupied properties and classified as property, plant and equipment in accordance with
Ind AS 16. The company acquires a new hotel but outsources entire management of the same to an outside agency and
remains as a passive investor. The selection and application of an accounting policy for this new hotel in line with Ind AS 40
is not a change in accounting policy simply because the new hotel rooms are also let out for rent. This is because the way in
which the new hotel is managed differs in substance from the way other existing hotels have been managed so far.
(b) If an entity is not applying the accounting policy currently and starts applying the accounting policy newly, that will also
not be treated as change in accounting policy.
Example: - An entity has classified as investment property, an owner-occupied property previously classified as part of
property, plant and equipment where it was measured after initial recognition applying the revaluation model. Ind AS 40 on
investment property permits only cost model. The entity now measures this investment property using the cost model. This
is not a change in accounting policy.
(c) A change in depreciation method should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with Ind AS
8. Similarly, as per Ind AS 38, a change in amortisation method should be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate
in accordance with Ind AS 8. These changes are, therefore, not changes in accounting policies.
Question 1. Can an entity voluntarily change one or more of its accounting policies?
Solution. A change in an accounting policy can be made only if the change is required or permitted by Ind AS 8. As per Ind
AS 8, an entity shall change an accounting policy only if the change:
Therefore, an entity cannot change voluntarily one or more of its accounting policies
Question 2. Entity ABC acquired a building for its administrative purposes and presented the same as property, plant and
equipment (PPE) in the financial year 2019- 20. During the financial year 2021- 22, it relocated the office to a new building and
leased the said building to a third party. Following the change in the usage of the building, Entity ABC reclassified it from PPE to
investment property in the financial year 2021- 22. Should Entity ABC account for the change as a change in accounting policy?
Solution Ind AS 8 provides that the application of an accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions that differ in
substance from those previously occurring are not changes in accounting policies.
As per Ind AS 16, ‘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 one period.”
As per Ind AS 40, ‘investment property’ is property (land or a building—or part of a building—or both) held (by the owner or by
the lessee as a right-of-use asset) to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for:
(a) use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes; or
(b) sale in the ordinary course of business.”
As per the above definitions, whether a building is an item of property, plant and equipment (PPE) or an investment property for
an entity depends on the purpose for which it is held by the entity. It is thus possible that due to a change in the purpose for which
it is held, a building that was previously classified as an item of property, plant and equipment may warrant reclassification as an
investment property, or vice versa. Whether a building is in the nature of PPE or investment property is determined by applying
the definitions of these terms from the perspective of that entity. Thus, the classification of a building as an item of property,
plant and equipment or as an investment property is not a matter of an accounting policy choice. Accordingly, a change in
classification of a building from property, plant and equipment to investment property due to change in the purpose for which it
is held by the entity is not a change in an accounting policy.
Question 3. Whether change in functional currency of an entity represents a change in accounting policy?
Solution. Ind AS 8 provides that the application of an accounting policy for transactions, events or conditions that differ in
substance from those previously occurring are not changes in accounting policies.
As per Ind AS 21, ‘functional currency’ is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates.
Ind AS 21 requires the management to use its judgement to determine the functional currency that most faithfully represents
the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions.
As per Ind AS 21, once determined, the functional currency is not changed unless there is a change in those underlying transactions,
events and conditions. Thus, functional currency of an entity is not a matter of an accounting policy choice.
In view of the above, a change in functional currency of an entity does not represent a change in accounting policy and Ind
AS 8, therefore, does not apply to such a change. Ind AS 21 requires that when there is a change in an entity’s functional
currency, the entity shall apply the translation procedures applicable to the new functional currency prospectively from the
date of the change.
1. an entity shall account for a change in accounting policy resulting from the initial application of an Ind AS in accordance
with the specific transitional provisions, if any, in that Ind AS.
2. when an entity changes an accounting policy upon initial application of an Ind AS that does not include specific
transitional provisions applying to that change, or changes an accounting policy voluntarily, it shall apply the change
retrospectively.
In the absence of an Ind AS that specifically applies to a transaction, event or condition, if management has applied an
accounting policy from the most recent pronouncements of IASB or other standard-setting bodies and there is amendment
in such pronouncement, if the entity chooses to change the accounting policy, that change is accounted for and disclosed
as a voluntary change in accounting policy.
Question 4. An entity developed one of its accounting policies by considering a pronouncement of an overseas national
standard-setting body in due accordance with Ind AS 8. Would it be permissible for the entity to change the said policy to
reflect a subsequent amendment in that pronouncement?
Solution: -- In the absence of an Ind AS that specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition, management may
apply an accounting policy from the most recent pronouncements of International Accounting Standards Board or other
standard-setting bodies that use a similar conceptual framework to develop accounting standards. If, following an
amendment of such a pronouncement, the entity chooses to change an accounting policy, that change is accounted for and
disclosed as a voluntary change in accounting policy. As such a change is a voluntary change in accounting policy, it can be
made only if it results in information that is reliable and more relevant and does not conflict with the sources in Ind AS 8.
The intention of the standard is, as far as possible, that the companies should follow the same accounting policies
consistently year after year to ensure the relevance and reliability of financial statements. The advantages of making the
process of change in accounting policy so difficult are as follow:
i. Companies will not make the frequent changes in their accounting policies just to do the window dressing of their
financial statements.
ii. The comparison of financial statements over the time and over the industry will be possible, in a reliable way.
When retrospective application is required, a change in accounting policy shall be applied retrospectively except to the
extent that it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change.
Impracticable - Applying a requirement is impracticable when the entity cannot apply it after making every reasonable
effort to do so. For a particular prior period, it is impracticable to apply a change in an accounting policy retrospectively or
to make a retrospective restatement to correct an error if:
(a) The effects of the retrospective application or retrospective restatement are not determinable;
(b) The retrospective application or retrospective restatement requires assumptions about what management’s
intent would have been in that period; or
(c) The retrospective application or retrospective restatement requires significant estimates of amounts. After going
through the above-mentioned definition of impractical, it is clear that the Ind AS 8 provides some relief if there
are practical difficulties in applying the policy retrospectively.
Ind AS 8 talks about two types of effects which one need to understand:
When it is impracticable to determine the period-specific effects of changing an accounting policy on comparative information
for one or more prior periods presented, then the entity shall apply the new accounting policy to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities as at the beginning of the earliest period for which retrospective application is practicable, which may be the
current period, and shall make a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of each affected component of equity for
that period.
Thus, if it is impracticable for an entity to change the policy from day 1, because it is impracticable to determine period-specific
effects for one or more comparative prior periods presented, it can apply the changed policy from the earliest period for which
it would be practicable to make the changes in policies retrospectively which may be the current period.
• When an entity applies a new accounting policy retrospectively, it applies the new accounting policy to comparative information
for prior periods as far back as is practicable. Retrospective application to a prior period is not practicable unless it is practicable
to determine the cumulative effect on the amounts in both the opening and closing balance sheets for that period. The amount
of the resulting adjustment relating to periods before those presented in the financial statements is made to the opening balance
of each affected component of equity of the earliest prior period presented. Usually, the adjustment is made to retained
earnings. However, the adjustment may be made to another component of equity (for example, to comply with an Ind AS). Any
other information about prior periods, such as historical summaries of financial data, is also adjusted as far back as is practicable.
• When it is impracticable to determine the cumulative effect, at the beginning of the current period, of applying a new
accounting policy to all prior periods, the entity shall adjust the comparative information to apply the new accounting
policy prospectively from the earliest date practicable. It therefore disregards the portion of the cumulative adjustment
to assets, liabilities and equity arising before that date. Changing an accounting policy is permitted even if it is
impracticable to apply the policy prospectively for any prior period.
Question 5. Whether an entity can change its accounting policy of subsequent measurement of property, plant and
equipment (PPE) from revaluation model to cost model?
Solution Ind AS 16 provides that an entity shall choose either the cost model or the revaluation model as its accounting
policy for subsequent measurement of an entire class of PPE.
A change from revaluation model to cost model for a class of PPE can be made only if it meets the condition specified in Ind
AS 8 i.e., the change results in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information to the users of
financial statements. For example, an unlisted entity planning IPO may change its accounting policy from revaluation model
to cost model for some or all classes of PPE to align the entity’s accounting policy with that of listed markets participants
within that industry so as to enhance the comparability of its financial statements with those of other listed market
participants within the industry. Such a change – from revaluation model to cost model is not expected to be frequent.
Where the change in accounting policy from revaluation model to cost model is considered permissible in accordance with
Ind AS 8, it shall be accounted for retrospectively, in accordance with Ind AS 8.
When a voluntary change in accounting policy has an effect on the current period or any prior period, an entity shall
disclose:
When an entity has not applied a new Ind AS that has been issued but is not yet effective, the entity shall disclose:
Question 6. Whether an entity is required to disclose the impact of any new Ind AS which is issued but not yet effective in
its financial statements as prepared as per Ind AS?
Note 1. The use of reasonable estimates is an essential part of the preparation of financial statements and does not
undermine their reliability.
Note 2. Changes in estimates cannot be related to prior periods and is not the correction of an error.
Note 3. A change in the basis of measurement is a change in accounting policy and is not a change in accounting estimate.
When it is difficult to distinguish whether a change is change in accounting policy or change in accounting estimate, the
change is treated as a change in an accounting estimate.
Question 7. Whether a change in inventory cost formula is a change in accounting policy or a change in accounting estimate?
Solution. As per Ind AS 8, accounting policies are the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by
an entity in preparing and presenting financial statements. Further, Ind AS 2, ‘Inventories’, specifically requires disclosure
of ‘cost formula used’ as a part of disclosure of accounting policies adopted in measurement of inventories. Accordingly, a
change in cost formula is a change in accounting policy.
1.7 ERRORS:
1.7.1 Meaning: - Ind AS 8 deals with the treatment of errors that have taken place in past, but were not revealed at that time.
Subsequently, when they are revealed, it is necessary to correct such errors in the financial statements and make sure that
the financial statements present relevant and reliable information in the period in which they are revealed.
As per the definition given in Ind AS 8, Prior period errors are omissions from, and misstatements in, the entity’s financial
statements for one or more prior periods arising from a failure to use, or misuse of, reliable information that:
(a) was available when financial statements for those periods were approved for issue; and
(b) could reasonably be expected to have been obtained and taken into account in the preparation and presentation
of those financial statements. Such errors include the effects of mathematical mistakes, mistakes in applying
accounting policies, oversights or misinterpretations of facts, and fraud.
• Errors can arise in respect of the recognition, measurement, presentation or disclosure of elements of financial
statements. Financial statements do not comply with Ind AS if they contain either material errors or immaterial errors
made intentionally to achieve a particular presentation of an entity’s financial position, financial performance or cash
flows.
Example: The following errors occurred in preparation of A Ltd.’s financial statements for the immediately preceding
financial year –
(a) Depreciation on plant and machinery understated by an amount equal to 0.30% of sales;
(b) Warranty provisions understated by an amount equal to 0.15% of sales;
(c) Allowance for bad debts understated by an amount of 0.25% of sales. Individually none of these errors may be material
but could collectively influence the economic decision of the users of the financial statements. These are material prior
period errors.
1.7.3 Treatment of Errors: -- Financial statements do not comply with Ind AS if they contain either material errors or
immaterial errors made intentionally to achieve a particular presentation of an entity’s financial position, financial
performance or cash flows.
1.7.3.1 Potential Errors of Current Period: -- Potential current period errors discovered in that period are corrected before
the financial statements are approved for issue.
1.7.3.2 Prior period errors discovered subsequently: -- Material errors are sometimes not discovered until a subsequent
period, and these prior period errors are corrected in the comparative information presented in the financial statements for
that subsequent period.
Situation 1: Error discovered relates to the comparative prior period presented: Unless impracticable, an
entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue
after their discovery by restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error occurred;
Example: - While preparing the financial statement for the financial year 2022-2023, the prior period presented would be
financial year 2021-2022, if one-year comparative period is presented. If the error occurred in the year 2021-2022 but
discovered in year 2022-2023, then it should be corrected in the financial statements for the year 2022-2023 by restating
the comparative amounts for the year 2021-2022. This will result in consequential restatement of opening balances for the
year 2022-2023.
Situation 2: Error discovered relates to period before the earliest comparative prior period presented:
If the material error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, an entity shall, unless impracticable, correct the
same retrospectively in the first set of financial statements approved for issue after their discovery by restating the opening
balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.
Example: - An entity presents one-year comparative period in its financial statements. While preparing the financial
statements for the financial year 2022-2023, if an error has been discovered which occurred in the year 2019-2020, i.e., for
the period which was earlier than earliest prior period presented (which is 2021-2022 in this example), then, the error should
be corrected by restating the opening balances of relevant assets and/or liabilities and relevant component of equity for the
year 2021-2022. This will result in consequential restatement of opening balances for the year 2022-2023.
Example: - A material error in depreciation provision of the preceding year ended 31st March, 2022 was discovered when
preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 st March, 2023. The amount recognised in statement of profit and
loss for the year ended 31st March, 2022 was ₹1,00,000 instead of ₹50,000. In this case, when presenting the financial
statements for the year ended 31st March, 2023, depreciation for the comparative year 2021-2022 will be restated at
₹50,000. The carrying amount i.e., net book value, of property, plant and equipment for the comparative year ending 31 st
March, 2023 will be increased by ₹50,000 (due to restatement of accumulated depreciation). This will result in consequential
restatement of opening balance of retained earnings and property, plant and equipment for the year 2023-2024.
Question 8. An entity has presented certain material liabilities as non-current in its financial statements for periods up to
31st March, 2021. While preparing annual financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022, management discovers
that these liabilities should have been classified as current. The management intends to restate the comparative amounts
for the prior period presented (i.e., as at 31st March, 2021). Would this reclassification of liabilities from non-current to
current in the comparative amounts be considered to be correction of an error under Ind AS 8? Would the entity need to
present a third balance sheet?
Solution: As per Ind AS 8, errors can arise in respect of the recognition, measurement, presentation or disclosure of elements
of financial statements. Financial statements do not comply with Ind AS if they contain either material errors or immaterial
errors made intentionally to achieve a particular presentation of an entity’s financial position, financial performance or cash
flows. Potential current period errors discovered in that period are corrected before the financial statements are approved
for issue. However, material errors are sometimes not discovered until a subsequent period, and these prior period errors
are corrected in the comparative information presented in the financial statements for that subsequent period.
In accordance with the above, the reclassification of liabilities from non-current to current would be considered as correction
of an error under Ind AS 8. Accordingly, in the financial statements for the year ended 31 st March, 2022, the comparative
amounts as at 31st March, 2021 would be restated to reflect the correct classification.
Ind AS 1 requires an entity to present a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the
minimum comparative financial statements, if, inter alia, it makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial
statements and the restatement has a material effect on the information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the
preceding period.
Accordingly, the entity should present a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period, i.e., as at 1st April,
20X0 in addition to the comparatives for the financial year 20X0-X1.
Step 1: A prior period error shall be corrected by retrospective restatement if it is practicable to determine both the period
specific effects and cumulative effect of the error.
The correction of a prior period error is excluded from profit or loss for the period in which the error is discovered. Any
information presented about prior periods, including any historical summaries of financial data, is restated as far back as is
practicable.
Step 2: If it is not practicable to determine the period-specific effects of an error on comparative information for one or
more prior periods presented, the entity shall first find out the earliest period for which retrospective restatement is
practicable and then restate the opening balances of assets, liabilities and equity for that period. Ind AS 8 further states that
such period can be the current period also.
Step 3: If it is not practicable to determine the cumulative effect, at the beginning of the current period, of an error on all
prior periods, the entity shall restate the comparative information to correct the error prospectively from the earliest date
practicable.
When it is impracticable to determine the amount of an error (e.g., a mistake in applying an accounting policy) for all prior
periods, the entity restates the comparative information prospectively from the earliest date practicable. It therefore
disregards the portion of the cumulative restatement of assets, liabilities and equity arising before that date.
Corrections of errors are distinguished from changes in accounting estimates. Accounting estimates by their nature are
approximations that may need revision as additional information becomes known. For example, the gain or loss recognised
on the outcome of a contingency is not the correction of an error.
1.8 DISCLOSURE OF PRIOR PERIOD ERRORS: - An entity shall disclose the following:

Solution. As per Ind AS 8, errors can arise in respect of the recognition, measurement, presentation or disclosure of elements
of financial statements. Financial statements do not comply with Ind AS if they contain either material errors or immaterial
errors made intentionally to achieve a particular presentation of an entity's financial position, financial performance or cash
flows. Potential current period errors discovered in that period are corrected before the financial statements are approved
for issue. However, material errors are sometimes not discovered until a subsequent period, and these prior period errors
are corrected in the comparative information presented in the financial statements for that subsequent period.
In accordance with the above, the reclassification of expenses from finance costs to other expenses would be considered as
correction of an error under Ind AS 8. Accordingly, in the financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2022, the
comparative amounts for the year ended 31st March, 2021 would be restated to reflect the correct classification.
Ind AS 1 requires an entity to present a third balance sheet as at the beginning of the preceding period in addition to the
minimum comparative financial statements if, inter alia, it makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial
statements and the restatement has a material effect on the information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the
preceding period.
In the given case, the retrospective restatement of relevant items in statement of profit and loss has no effect on the
information in the balance sheet at the beginning of the preceding period (1 st April, 2020). Therefore, the entity is not
required to present a third balance sheet.
Question 10: There was a Material Prior Period Error by way of understatement of Salary Expense ₹15 Lakhs. How will you
disclose it in the Financial Statements for the Financial Year 2021-2022, if the Salary Expense related to –
(a) Financial Year 2020-2021 or (b) Financial Year 2016-2017?
Treatment: Since comparative figures of 2016-2017 are not presented as comparative figures now, the difference of
₹15 Lakhs will be shown by re-stating the Opening Balances of Equity, at reduced amount.
Financial statements of subsequent periods need not repeat these disclosures.
Items of current tax or defer tax recognized in profit and loss are subject to two exceptions:
1. An item of current tax or defer tax pertaining to other comprehensive income should be recognized in other
comprehensive income
2. An item of current tax or defer tax pertaining to direct equity should be recognized in direct equity

Question 2. COC Ltd purchased a machine costing ₹ 2,00,000. Depreciation is charged @ 20% P.A. on SLM basis in books of
accounts and @ 30% P.A. on SLM basis as per Income tax Act.
Assume profit before depreciation and tax ₹ 5,00,000. Calculate tax expense as per Ind AS 12 in books of account and make
journal entries for current tax and deferred tax.
Important definitions:
(1) Tax expense: It means tax expense recognised in books as per Ind AS.
Tax expense = current tax expense +/- deferred tax expense.
(2) Current tax expense: It is the amount of tax payable on profit calculated as per income tax act.
(3) Deferred tax expense: It is temporary saving in tax or payment of additional tax due to temporary differences between
carrying amount and tax base of assets and liabilities.
Note: provision for tax is shown under the head ‘current liability’ and advance tax is shown under the head ‘current assets’ in
the balance sheet. Alternatively, they can be net off in the balance sheet under the respective head.
(6) It is calculated on temporary differences between carrying amount and tax base of respective assets and liabilities.
(i) Carrying amount- it means balance of relevant assets and liabilities in the books as per Ind AS.
(ii) Tax base- it means amount of relevant asset and liability that would appear in balance sheet prepared as per income
tax act.
(iii) temporary differences: it is difference between carrying amount and tax base of respective asset or liability. It can
further be classified in two parts
Question 3. COC Ltd purchased a machine for ₹ 5,00,000. Depreciation is charged @ 20% p.a. on SLM basis in books and
@ 30% on SLM basis in income tax. Tax rate 30%. Calculate deferred tax at the end of 1 st year.
Question 4. X ltd has interest income receivable of ₹ 20,000. In income tax, interest income is taxable on cash basis. Tax
rate is 30%. Calculate deferred tax asset/ liability.
Question 5. C ltd has made investment in equity shares for ₹ 50,000. It is shown at FVTPL. At the end of 1st year, fair value
of investment in equity is ₹ 40,000. Calculate DTA/DTL at the end of first year.
Question 6. Ram Ltd has made a provision for division closure cost of ₹ 25,000. In income tax, closure cost is allowed only
when it is actually paid. Tax rate is 30%. Calculate DTA/DTL at the end of first year.
Question 7. A ltd has received an advance income of ₹ 6,000. In income tax, income received is taxable on cash basis. Tax
rate is 30%. Calculate DTA/DTL at the end of first year.
Question 8. A company creates provision for Gratuity and Leave encashment and recognises liability of ₹ 50,000.
This is the only difference between taxable profits and accounting profits. The company measures current tax of ₹
48,000 at tax rate of 25%. Compute Tax Expenses. (ICMAI Study material)
Answer: DTA Rs 12,500, Tax expense Rs 35,500.
(ii) Amount of Deferred tax expense recorded in SPL/OCI will be calculated as follow:
Question 9. COC Ltd purchased a machine costing ₹ 5,00,000. Depreciation is charged @ 20% P.A. on SLM basis in books of
accounts and @ 25% P.A. on SLM basis as per Income tax Act. Tax rate is 30%. Calculate deferred tax expense for 1 st year and
2nd year of business transferred to SPL/OCI.
Solution:
Question 10. Calculate deferred tax expense for 3rd year transferred to SPL/OCI in previous question 9.
Question 11. COC Ltd purchased a machine costing ₹ 5,00,000. Depreciation is charged @ 20% P.A. on SLM basis in books
of accounts and @ 25% P.A. on SLM basis as per Income tax Act. Tax rate is 30%. Calculate deferred tax expense to be
shown in SPL and make entries for 5 years.
Always remember:
(8) Deferred tax expense is recognised in SPL or OCI according to the item on which it is created.
(10) Future tax rate specific to the transaction i.e., substantially enacted tax rate (i.e., tax rate announced by Government
before balance sheet date for upcoming year, whose approval is still pending) is used for computing DTA/DTL.
DTL DTA
For recognising Deferred tax expense Dr Deferred tax asset Dr
To deferred tax liability To deferred tax expense
For reversal Deferred tax liability Dr Deferred tax expense Dr
To deferred tax expense To deferred tax asset
Step 2. Calculate tax base of asset or liability as per income tax act.
---- No DTA/DTL is recognised (always assume tax base equal to carrying amount).
Note: in case of investment in subsidiary, no DTA/DTL is recognised on temporary differences as parent entity will be able
to control the timing of its reversal.
(iii) Asset taken on lease (right to use asset and lease liability):
Tax base = Nil (because lease rent is allowed for deduction on actual payment basis in income tax)
Tax base = employee benefit expenses to be recognised till date based on intrinsic value of option.
Note; SBP transaction will always be recognised as an asset. Hence always DTA will be recognised on SBP transaction.
(15) Carry forward of losses as per income tax act is deductible temporary differences on which DTA is created.
(16) MAT credit as per income tax act is recognised as deferred tax asset (DTA)
(ii) Tax base: - it will be given in question. If not given it should be taken at net assets appearing in the book of acquiree.
(iii) DTA/DTL will be recognised through goodwill / capital reserve on assets and liabilities taken over in business
combination.
(iv) in this case, tax rate for calculating DTA/DTL will be rate applicable to the acquiree entity.
(b) If entity anticipates losses in future, then DTA is recognised on following amount:
(20) Disclosure requirements: The major components of tax expense (income) shall be disclosed separately.
Components of tax expense (in-come) may include:
(a) current tax expense (income);
(b) any adjustments recognised in the period for current tax of prior periods;
(c) the amount of deferred tax expense (income) relating to the origination and reversal of temporary differences;
(d) the amount of deferred tax expense (income) relating to changes in tax rates or the imposition of new taxes;The following
shall also be disclosed separately:
(e) the aggregate current and deferred tax relating to items that are charged or credited directly to equity
(f) the amount of income tax relating to each component of other comprehensive income.
Practice questions:
Question 15. PQR Ltd ‘s accounting year ends on 31st march. The company made a loss of ₹2,00,000 for the year ending

(change in liabilities)
Scope: This Standard shall be applied in accounting for property, plant, and equipment. It does not apply to:
(a) PPE classified as held for sale as per Ind AS 105
(b) Biological assets (livestock and living plant other than bearer plants) related to agricultural activity (Ind AS 41)
(c) Assets in exploration for and evaluation of Mineral Resources (Ind AS 106)
(d) Mineral rights and mineral reserves such as oil, natural gas etc. (also called wasting assets).
However, this Standard applies to property, plant and equipment used to develop or maintain the assets described in (b)–(d).
Note: An entity accounting for investment property in accordance with Ind AS 40, InvestmentProperty, shall use the cost model in this
Standard for owned investment property.
a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others (other than land & building), or for
administrative purposes; and
b) are expected to be used during more than one period (generally more than 12 months).
Note 1: Administrative purpose includes all business purpose i.e. selling and distribution, finance and accounting purpose, for
safety and environmental purpose.
Note 2. Ind AS 16 also applies on bearer plant. Bearer plant means a plant that:
Examples:
Particulars Remarks
1. Business of giving building on rent PPE
2. Business of providing service of education and Entity has given its Investment property
building on rent.
3. Any other asset except land & building given on rent. PPE
4. Land & building held for sale in ordinary course of business Inventory
5. Factory building, office building, showroom, godown, warehouse PPE
Recognition criteria: The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment shall 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 entity; and
b) the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
Recognition of Spare parts (E.g., bearings, screws, Extra tyre in trucks etc), stand-by equipment (e.g., Fire extinguishers)
a n d servicing equipment:
Items such as spare parts, stand-by equipment and servicing equipment are recognised in accordance with Ind AS 16 when they meet
the definition of property, plant and equipment.
NOTE: 1. Treatment of Repair and maintenance: - An entity does not recognise in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant
and equipment the costs of the day-to-day servicing of the item. Rather, these costs are recognised in profit or 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.
• A condition of continuing to operate an item of property, plant and equipment (for example, an aircraft) 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. This occurs regardless of whether
the cost of the previous inspection was identified in the transaction in which the item was acquired or constructed. If
necessary, the estimated cost of a future similar inspection may be used as an indication of what the cost of the existing
inspection component was when the item was acquired or constructed.
Question 1. Carrying amount of aircraft = ₹200 crores (including remaining carrying amount of previous major inspection
= ₹24 crores).
Company entered into a new contract of major inspections and maintenance for ₹80 crores for period of 5 years. Calculate new
carrying cost of aircraft.
Measurement of PPE:
(i) Initial measurement/ Initial recognition.
(ii) Subsequent measurement/ subsequent recognition.
(i) Initial measurement: - An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset should be initially
measured at its cost.
Element of cost of an acquired asset: 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; and
c) the initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which
an entity 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.
Bearer plants are accounted for in the same way as self-constructed items of property, plant and equipment before they are in the location and condition
necessary to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Note 1. Let’s summarise all items included in definition of cost of purchased/ self-constructed PPE:
Purchase price of PPE
Less: trade discount/ rebate
Add: property transfer tax, import duty, tax on purchases, E.g., Entry tax, GST (Only if non-refundable or non-adjustable)
Add: stamp duty cost
Add: Legal charges
Add: initial delivery/ transport cost
Add: handling cost
Add: installation and assembling cost.
Add: consultant fees, professional advisor fees, architect fees
Add: site preparation cost
Add: plan approval/ permission cost
Add: testing cost
Add: direct material, labour and overheads used in construction of PPE.
Add: P.V of estimated dismantling, decommissioning, restoration or demolition cost.
Add: any other directly attributable cost.
To bank/ payable
Cessation of capitalisation: Recognition of costs in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment ceases when the
item is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
The following costs are not included in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment:
a) costs incurred while an item capable of operating in the manner intended by management has yet to be brought into
use or is operated at less than full capacity;
b) initial operating losses, such as those incurred while demand for the item’s output buildsup; and
c) costs of relocating or reorganising part or all of an entity’s operations.
Question 2. On 1st April 2023, COC Ltd purchased a machine for ₹10,00,000. Useful life 3 years. Method of depreciation is SLM.
Decommissioning cost will be ₹2,00,000 after 3 years. Discounting rate/ implicit rate/ rate of interest is 10%. Pass journal entries
for 3 years.
Question 3. X Ltd. Sets up a plant at the purchase price of ₹5,00,000 plus GST at 18% (Intra-state). Freight paid ₹20,000 plus GST
at 18% (Intra-state). Paid ₹10,000 as employee expenses for installation of the planet. After the plant wasput to use maintenance
cost incurred ₹5,000. Measure the initial cost to be recognized and pass journal. Estimateddismantling cost ₹ 30,000, present
value ₹12,000. (ICMAI Study material)
Question 4. On 1st April, 2022, an item of property is offered for sale at ₹10 million, with payment terms being three equal instalments of
₹33,33,333 over a two-year period (payments are made on 1st April, 2022, 31st March, 2023 and 31st March, 2024). Implicit interest rate of
5.36 % p.a. takes discounting factor upto three figures in decimals.
Show how the property will be recorded in accordance with Ind AS 16 and pass necessary journal entries. (ICAI Study material)
Note 1. If some cash is also paid along with the asset to acquire the PPE, then such amount of cash paid
should also be added to the value of exchange asset as per priority given above.
Note 2. If some cash is received along with the asset to acquire the PPE, then such amount of cash received
should also be deducted to the value of exchange asset as per priority given above.
Note 1: Meaning of commercial substance: commercial substance means those activities which affect cash flow of the
entity.
Example of commercial substance- if entity acquires PPE producing 10,000 units by giving PPE producing 9,000/ 11,000
units.
Example of lack of commercial substance: - if we exchange our godown with other’s entity in same area.
Note 2. If not able to classify, whether transaction has commercial substance or not-- always assume have commercial
substance.
Question 5. Pluto Ltd owns land and building which are carried in its balance sheet at an aggregate carrying amount of ₹10 million. The fair
value of such asset is ₹15 million. It exchanges the land and building for a private jet, which has a fair value of ₹20 million, and pays additional
₹3 million in cash. Show the necessary treatment as per Ind AS 16 and pass journal entry for the transaction. (ICAI Study material).
(ii) Subsequent measurement: An entity shall choose either the cost model or the revaluation model as its accounting policy
and shall apply that policy to an entire class of property, plant and equipment.
(a) Cost Model: After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment shall be carried at its cost less any
accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
(b) Revaluation model: After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment whose fair value can be
measured reliably is carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of the revaluation. Depreciation will be
charged on the revalued amount in future.
Carrying amount = Fair value on the date of revaluation – any subsequent accumulated depreciation- any subsequent accumulated impairment
loss.
Accounting treatment in case of revaluation of PPE:
Case 1. If depreciation on PPE is charged directly (it means PPE is shown at net carrying amount only)
If there is revaluation gain: If there is revaluation loss:
Case 2. If provision for depreciation (i.e., accumulated depreciation) is maintained. (Preferable method in exam)
For calculating net carrying amount we deduct accumulated depreciation from gross carrying amount. Accounting of revaluation of PPE can
be done by any of the following two methods:
Method 1. Accumulated depreciation eliminated approach:
1. For eliminating accumulated depreciation:
Accumulated depreciation account Dr XXX
To PPE account XXX
PPE account Dr ( GCA X % of revaluation gain) Accumulated dep Dr ( acc dep X % of revaluation loss)
To accumulated dep (acc dep X % of revaluation gain) Loss on revaluation Dr ( amount of loss on revaluation)
To revaluation gain ( amount of gain on revaluation) To PPE account ( GCA X % of revaluation loss)
Question 6. Jupiter Ltd. has an item of property, plant and equipment with an initial cost of ₹100,000. At the date of revaluation
accumulated depreciation amounted to ₹55,000. The fair value of asset, by reference to transactions in similar assets, is assessed to
be ₹65,000. Find out the entries to be passed?
Solution:
Method – I: Depreciation Elimination Approach:
(a) Accumulated depreciation Dr. 55,000
To Asset Cost 55,000
(b) Asset Cost Dr. 20,000
To Revaluation reserve 20,000
The net result is that the asset has a carrying amount of Rs 65,000 (100,000 – 55,000 + 20,000).
Entries to be Made:
Asset (1,00,000 x 44.44%) Dr. 44,444
To Accumulated Depreciation (55,000 x 44.44%) 24,444
To Revaluation Reserve 20,000
(Being the entry to increase both the original cost and the accumulated depreciation by 44.44%)
Note: (i) If an item of property, plant and equipment is revalued, the entire class of property, plant and equipment to which
that asset belongs shall be revalued.
A class of property, plant and equipment is a grouping of assets of a similar nature and use in an entity’s operations. E.g., land &
building, plant & machinery, furniture & fixtures, ships, aircraft, motor vehicles, office equipment, bearer plant etc.
Question 7. Venus Ltd. is a large manufacturing group. It owns a considerable number of industrial buildings, such as factories and
warehouses, and office buildings in several capital cities. The industrial buildings are located in industrial zones whereas the office
buildings are in central business districts of the cities. Venus’s Ltd. management wants to apply the Ind AS 16 revaluation model
to subsequent measurement of the office buildings but continue to apply the historical cost model to the industrial buildings. Is
this acceptable under Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment?
Answer: Venus's Ltd. management can apply the revaluation model only to the office buildings. The office buildings can be clearly distinguished
from the industrial buildings in terms of their function, their nature and their general location. Ind AS 16 permits assets to be revalued on a
class-by-class basis.

Question 8. An item of PPE was purchased for ₹9,00,000 on 1st April, 2021. It is estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and is depreciated on a
straight-line basis. On 1st April, 2023, the asset is revalued to ₹9,60,000. The useful life remains unchanged as ten years. Ignore impact of deferred
taxes. Show the necessary treatment as per Ind AS 16 to calculate depreciation and revaluation surplus for 2023-2024 assuming that entity has
decided to transfer revaluation surplus to retained earning when PPE will be derecognized.
Method 2. The revaluation surplus may be transferred as the asset is used by an entity. 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 the asset’s original cost.
• Transfers from revaluation surplus to retained earnings are not made through profit or loss.
The effects of taxes on income, if any, resulting from the revaluation of property, plant and equipment are recognised and disclosed in accordance with
Ind AS 12, Income Taxes.
Question 9. An item of PPE was purchased for ₹9,00,000 on 1st April, 2021. It is estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and is depreciated on
a straight-line basis. On 1st April, 2023, the asset is revalued to ₹ 9,60,000. The useful life remains unchanged as ten years. Ignore impact of
deferred taxes. Show the necessary treatment as per Ind AS 16 to calculate depreciation and revaluation surplus for 2023-2024 if entity has
decided to transfer revaluation surplus to retained earnings as the asset is used by an entity.
a) Straight-line depreciation method results in a constant charge over the useful life if the asset’sresidual value does not change.
b) Diminishing balance method results in a decreasing charge over the useful life.
c) Units of production method results in a charge based on the expected use or output.

Commencement of depreciation: Depreciation of an asset begins when it is available for use, i.e., when it is in the location
and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
• Cost of new part is added to the carrying amount of the PPE, and
• Carrying amount of old part is de-recognised from carrying amount of PPE.
Carrying amount of PPE after replacement= carrying amount of PPE on date of replacement + cost of new part – carrying
amount of old part replaced on date of replacement.
Note: if carrying amount of old part on replacement date is not given in question, then it should be calculated as per following
method: -
Step 1- take cost of new part replaced.
Step 2. Calculate PV of this new part on date of installation of od part replaced. It is treated as cost of old part replaced.
Step 3. Deduct depreciation on above amount upto date of replacement of such part. The resultant figure is treated as carrying
amount of old part on date of replacement.
Note: assume useful life of such part same as of PPE.
Question 11. Aircraft purchased for ₹10,00,000. Useful life is 10 years. Engine is replaced in aircraft after 3 years. Cost of new
engine is ₹2,00,000. Discounting rate 10%. Calculate carrying amount of aircraft after replacement of engine.
Question 12. An asset which cost ₹10,000 was estimated to have a useful life of 10 years and residual value ₹2,000. After two years, useful life
was revised to 4 remaining years. Calculate the depreciation charge for the years 1,2,3.
Answer: ₹800; 800; 1600.
Question 13. An entity acquired an asset 3 years ago at a cost of ₹5 million. The depreciation method adopted for the asset was 10 percent
reducing balance method.
At the end of Year 3, the entity estimates that the remaining useful life of the asset is 8 years and determines to adopt straight –line method from that
date so as to reflect the revised estimated pattern of recovery of economic benefits. Show the necessary treatment in accordance of Ind AS 16.
Calculate the depreciation charge for respective years.
Answer: depreciation from 1 to 3 year = ₹5,00,000; 4,50,000; 405,000; Year 4 to Year 11 ₹455,625 p.a.
Impairment of PPE:
To determine whether an item of property, plant and equipment is impaired, an entity applies Ind AS 36, Impairment of Assets. As per Ind AS
36;
• An impairment loss is the amount by which the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
• Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
Note: 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.
Less: carrying amount of provision for decommissioning liability on date of change xxxx
Appendix A to Ind AS 16 provides guidance on how to account for the effect of changes in the measurement of existing
decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities due to:
a) a change in the estimated outflow of resources embodying economic benefits (e.g., cashflows) required to
settle the obligation;
b) a change in the current market-based discount rate; and
c) an increase that reflects the passage of time (also referred to as the unwinding of the discount).
Accounting guidance in Appendix A to Ind AS 16: Appendix A to Ind AS 16 offers two different approaches to account for
changes in decommissioning liability depending upon whether the entity follows cost model or revaluation model.
(a) adjust increase or decrease in decommissioning liability from the cost of the asset:
(b) any such decrease in the decommissioning, restoration and similar liability cannot exceed the carrying amount of the asset. In case,
the said decrease in the decommissioning liability is more than the carrying amount of the asset, the excess is recognized
immediately as income in statement of profit and loss.
(c) if the changes in the decommissioning liability and the resultant adjustment results in an addition to the cost of an asset, the
entity shall 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 entity shall test the asset for impairment by estimating its recoverable amount, and shall account for any
impairment loss, in accordance with Ind AS 36.

(b) Any change in liability would require the asset to be tested for impairment to ascertain if there is any change in fair value.
(c) Change in the revaluation surplus arising from a change in the decommissioning liability shall be presented as a separate
line item in the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income, as required under Ind AS 1.
Question 14. H Limited purchased an item of PPE costing ₹100 million which has useful life of 10 years. The entity has a contractual
th
decommissioning and site restoration obligation, estimated at ₹5 million to be incurred at the end of 10 year. The current market-based
discount rate is 8%.
The company follows SLM method of depreciation. H Limited follows the Cost Model for accounting of PPE.
Determine the carrying value of an item of PPE and decommissioning liability at each year end when
(a) There is no change in the expected decommissioning expenses, expected timing of incurring the decommissioning expense
and / or the discount rate.
(b) At the end of Year 4, the entity expects that the estimated cash outflow on account of decommissioning and site restoration to be
incurred at the end of the useful life of the asset will be ₹8 million (in place of ₹5 million, estimated in the past).
Determine in case (b), how H Limited need to account for the changes in the decommissioning liability?
Solution: The present value of such decommissioning and site restoration obligation at the end of 10th year is ₹2.32 million [being
5 / (1.08)10]. H Limited will recognise the present value of decommissioning liability of ₹2.32 million as an addition to cost of PPE
and will also recognize a corresponding decommissioning liability. Further, the entity will recognise the unwinding of discount as finance
charge.
The following table shows the relevant computations, if there is no change in the expected decommissioning expenses, expected timing
of incurring the decommissioning expense and / or the discount rate:

Question 19. MS Ltd. has acquired a heavy machinery at a cost of ₹1,00,00,000 (with no breakdown of the component parts). The
estimated useful life is 10 years. At the end of the sixth year, one of the major components, the turbine requires replacement, as further
maintenance is uneconomical. The remainder of the machine is perfect and is expected to last for the next four years. The cost of a new
turbine is ₹45,00,000. The discount rate assumed is 5%.
Can the cost of the new turbine be recognised as an asset, and, if so, what treatment should be used? (ICAI Study material)
Answer: The new turbine will produce economic benefits to MS Ltd., and the cost is measurable. Hence, the item should be recognised
as an asset.
On 1st April, 2023, XYZ Ltd. acquired a machine under the following terms:
List price of machine 80,00,000
Import duty 5,00,000
Delivery fees 1,00,000
Electrical installation costs 10,00,000
Pre-production testing 4,00,000
Purchase of a five-year maintenance contract with vendor 7,00,000
In addition to the above information XYZ Ltd. was granted a trade discount of 10% on the initial list price of the asset and a settlement
discount of 5%, if payment for the machine was received within one month of purchase. XYZ Ltd. paid for the plant on 20th April, 2023.
At what cost the asset will be recognised?
Solution: In accordance with Ind AS 16, all costs required to bring an asset to its present location and condition for its intended use should
be capitalized. Therefore, the initial purchase price of the asset should be:
72,00,000
Import duty 5,00,000
Maintenance contract is a separate contract to get service, therefore, the maintenance contract cost of ₹7,00,000 should be taken as a
prepaid expense and charged to the profit or loss over a period of 5 years.
In addition the settlement discount received of ₹3,60,000 (72,00,000 x 5%) is to be shown as other income in the profit or loss.
Question 21. X Limited started construction on a building for its own use on 1st April, 2022. The following costs are incurred:
Purchase price of land 30,00,000
Materials 10,00,000
Other relevant information: material costing ₹1,00,000 had been spoiled and therefore wasted and a further ₹1,50,000 was spent
on account of faulty design work. As a result of these problems, work on the building was stopped for two weeks during November
2022 and it is estimated that ₹22,000 of the labour cost relate to that period. The building was completed on 1st January 2023 and
brought in use on 1st April 2023. X Ltd had taken a loan of ₹40,00,000 on 1st April 2022 for construction of the building. The loan
carried an interest rate of 8% P.A. and is repayable on 1st April 2024. Calculate the cost of building that will be included in tangible
current asset as an addition.
Solution: Only those costs which are directly attributable to bringing the asset into working condition for its intended use should be included.
Administration and general costs cannot be included. Cost of abnormal amount of wasted material/ labor or other resources is not included as
per Ind AS 16. Here, the cost of spoilt materials and faulty designs are abnormal costs. Also, the wastages and labor charges incurred are abnormal
in nature. Hence, same are also not included in the cost of PPE.
Question 22(HOME WORK). XYZ Ltd. purchased an asset on 1st January, 2020, for ₹1,00,000 and the asset had an estimated useful life
of ten years and a residual value of nil. The company has charged depreciation using the straight-line method at ₹10,000 per annum. On 1st
January, 2024, the management of XYZ Ltd. Reviews the estimated life and decides that the asset will probably be useful for a further four
years and, therefore, the total life is revised to eight years. How should the asset be accounted for remaining years?
Solution: Change in useful economic life of an asset is change in accounting estimate, which is to be applied prospectively, i.e., the
depreciation charge will need to be recalculated. On 1st January, 20X4, when the asset’s net book value is ₹60,000. The company should amend
the annual provision for depreciation to charge the unamortised cost (namely, ₹60,000) over the revised remaining life of four years.
Consequently, it should charge depreciation for the next four years at ₹15,000 per annum.
Question 23(Important question). Alfa Ltd. has machinery at cost ₹4,800 and provision for depreciation ₹1,600 as on
01.04.2018. On that date the remaining life of the machine is 6 years with residual value of ₹800. On the same date one
component of the machine is replaced, the price of the new component is ₹600 and the cost of the old component was ₹500
with accumulated depreciation ₹200. The supplier of the new component took the old component at a fair value of ₹360.
On 31.03.2019 the machine is revalued as per company policy at ₹5,000. On 31.03.2020 an impairment loss of ₹900 has been
recognized for the machine. Pass journal entries and show the accounting treatments to be made in the financial statement for
the years ending on 31.03.2019, 31.03.2020 and 31.30.2021. Depreciation to be charged based on straight line method.

Question 24. On 1st April, 2021, Sun ltd purchased some land for ₹10 million (including legal costs of ₹1 million) in
order to construct a new factory. Construction work commenced on 1 s t May, 2021.Sun ltd incurred the following costs in relation
with its construction:
– Preparation and levelling of the land – ₹3,00,000.
– Purchase of materials for the construction – ₹6·08 million in total.
– Employment costs of the construction workers – ₹2,00,000 per month.
– Overhead costs incurred directly on the construction of the factory – ₹1,00,000 per month.
– Ongoing overhead costs allocated to the construction project using the company’s normal overhead allocation model –
₹50,000 per month.
– Income received during the temporary use of the factory premises as a car park during the construction period –₹50,000.
– Costs of relocating employees to work at the new factory – ₹300,000.
– Costs of the opening ceremony on 31st January, 2022 – ₹150,000.
The factory was completed on 30th November, 2021 (which is considered as substantial period of time as per Ind AS 23) and production
began on 1st February, 2022. The overall useful life of the factory building was estimated at 40 years from the date of completion.
However, it is estimated that the roof will need to be replaced 20 years after the date of completion and that the cost of replacing the roof
at current prices would be 30% of the total cost of the building.
At the end of the 40-year period, Sun Ltd has a legally enforceable obligation to demolish the factory and restore the site to its original
condition. The directors estimate that the cost of demolition in 40 years’ time (based on prices prevailing at that time) will be ₹20 million. An
annual risk adjusted discount rate which is appropriate to this project is 8%. The present value of Re 1 payable in 40 years’ time at an
annual discount rate of 8% is Re 0.046.
The construction of the factory was partly financed by a loan of ₹17·5 million taken out on 1st April, 2021. The loan was at an
annual rate of interest of 6%. Sun Ltd received investment income of ₹100,000 on the temporary investment of the proceeds.

the cost of the asset)
Question 27(Home Work). B Ltd. owns an asset with an original cost of ₹2,00,000. On acquisition, management determined that the
useful life was 10 years and the residual value would be ₹20,000. The asset is now 8 years old, and during this time there have been no
revisions to the assessed residual value.
At the end of year 8, management has reviewed the useful life and residual value and has determined that the useful life can be extended to 12
years in view of the maintenance program adopted by the company. As a result, the residual value will reduce to ₹10,000. How would the
above changes in estimates be accounted by B Ltd.?
The asset has a carrying amount of 56,000 at the end of year 8 [i.e. 2,00,000 – 1,44,000]
Accounting of the changes in estimates:
Revision of the useful life to 12 years results in a remaining useful life of 4 years (i.e., 12 years – 8 years).
The revised depreciable amount is ₹46,000 (56,000 – 10,000)
Thus, depreciation should be charged in future i.e., from 9th year onwards at ₹11,500 per annum (46,000 / 4 years).
Question 28. X Ltd. has a machine which got damaged due to fire as on 31st January, 2023. The carrying amount of machine was
₹1,00,000 on that date. X Ltd. sold the damaged asset as scrap for ₹10,000. X Ltd. has insured the same asset against damage. As
on 31st March, 2023, the compensation proceeds was still in process but the insurance company has confirmed the claim.
Compensation of ₹50,000 is receivable from the insurance company. How X Ltd. will account for the above transaction?
Solution: As per Ind AS 16, impairment or losses of items of property, plant and equipment and related claims for or payments of
compensation from third parties are separate economic events and should be accounted for separately.
X Ltd. should account for the above transaction as given below:
At the time of sale of scrap machine, X Ltd. should write off the carrying amount of asset from books of account and provide a loss of ₹
90,000. (i.e., carrying amount of ₹1,00,000 – realised amount of 10,000)
As on 31st March, 2023, X Ltd. should recognise income of ₹50,000 against the compensation receivable in its profit or loss.
Question 29. An entity has a nuclear power plant and a related decommissioning liability. The nuclear power plant started operating
on 1st April , 2013. The plant has a useful life of 40 years. Its initial cost was ₹1,20,000 which included an amount for decommissioning
costs of ₹10,000, which represented ₹70,400 in estimated cash flows payable in 40 years discounted at a risk-adjusted rate of 5 per
cent. The entity’s financial year ends on 31 st March. On March, 2023, the net present value of the decommissioning liability has
decreased by ₹8,000. The discount rate has not yet changed.
How the entity will account for the above changes in decommissioning liability in the year 2023, if it adopts cost model?
Solution: On 31st March , 2023, the plant is 10 years old. Accumulated depreciation is 30,000(120,000 x 10 / 40 years). Due to
unwinding of discount @ 5% over the 10 years, the amount of decommissioning liability has increased from 10,000 to 16,300 (approx.).
On 3 1 s t M a r c h 2023, the discount rate has not changed. However, the entity estimates that, as a result of technological advances,
the net present value of the decommissioning liability has decreased by ₹8,000. Accordingly, the entity adjusts the decommissioning
liability from ₹16,300 to ₹8,300. On this date, the entity passes the following journal entry to reflect the change:
Following this adjustment, the carrying amount of the asset is ₹82,000 (1,20,000 – 8,000 – 30,000), which will be depreciated over
the remaining 30 years of the asset’s life giving a depreciation expense for the next year of ₹2,733 ( 82,000 / 30).
The next year’s finance cost for unwinding of discount will be ₹415 ( 8,300 × 5 per cent).
Question 30. A Ltd. purchased some Property, Plant and Equipment on 1st April, 2021, and estimated their useful lives for the purpose
of financial statements to be prepared on the basis of Ind AS:
Following were the original cost, and useful life of the various components of property, plant, and equipment assessed on 1st April,
2021:
A Ltd. uses the straight-line method of depreciation. On 1 st April, 2024, the entity reviewed the following useful lives of the property, plant, and
equipment through an external valuation expert:
Buildings 10 years
Plant and machinery 7 years
Furniture and fixtures 5 years
There were no salvage values for the three components of the property, plant, and equipment either initially or at the time the useful lives were revised.
Compute the impact of revaluation of useful life on the Statement of Profit and Loss for the year ending 31st March, 2025.
Solution: The annual depreciation charges prior to the change in useful life were:
The revised annual depreciation for the year ending 31st March, 2025, would be:
Question 31. Mr. X, is the financial controller of ABC Ltd., a listed entity which prepares consolidated financial statements in accordance
with Ind AS. Mr. X has recently produced the final draft of the financial statements of ABC Ltd. for the year ended 31st March, 2024
to the managing director Mr. Y for approval. Mr. Y, who is not a CMA, had raised following query from Mr. X after going through the
draft financial statements: -
The notes to the financial statements state that plant and equipment is held under the ‘cost model’. However, property which is owner
occupied is revalued annually to fair value. Changes in fair value are sometimes reported in profit or loss but usually in ‘other
comprehensive income’. Also, the amount of depreciation charged on plant and equipment as a percentage of its carrying amount is
much higher than for owner occupied property. Another note states that property owned by ABC Ltd. but rent out to others is depreciated
annually and not fair valued. Mr. Y is of the opinion that there is no consistent treatment of PPE items in the accounts. How should the
finance controller respond to the query from the managing director?
Solution: Ongoing through the query raised by the Managing Director Mr. Y, the financial controller Mr. X explained the
notes and reasons for their disclosures as follows:
The accounting treatment of the majority of tangible non-current assets is governed by Ind AS 16 ‘Property, Plant and Equipment’.
Ind AS 16 states that the accounting treatment of PPE is determined on a class-by-class basis.
For this purpose, property and plant would be regarded as separate classes. Ind AS 16 requires that PPE is measured using either
the cost model or the revaluation model. This model is applied on a class-by-class basis and must be applied consistently within a class.
Ind AS 16 states that when the revaluation model applies, surpluses are recorded in other comprehensive income, unless they are cancelling
out a deficit which has previously been reported in profit or loss, in which case it is reported in profit or loss. Where the revaluation results
in a deficit, then such deficits are reported in profit or loss, unless they are cancelling out a surplus which has previously been reported
in other comprehensive income, in which case they are reported in other comprehensive income.
According to Ind AS 16, all assets having a finite useful life should be depreciated over thatlife. Where property is concerned, the
only depreciable element of the property is the buildings element, since land normally has an indefinite life. The estimated useful life of
a building tends to be much longer than for plant. These two reasons together explain why the depreciation charge of a property as a
percentage of its carrying amount tends to be much lower than for plant.
Properties which are held for investment purposes are not accounted for under Ind AS 16, but under Ind AS 40 ‘Investment Property’. As
per Ind AS 40, investment properties should be accounted for under a cost model. ABC Ltd. had applied the cost model and thus
our investment properties are treated differently from the owner-occupied property.
Question 32. Company X performed a revaluation of all of its plant and machinery at the beginning of 2023. The following information
relates to one of the machineries:
Amount (‘000)
Solution: According to Ind AS 16, 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.
For example, the gross carrying amount may be restated by reference to observable market data or it may be restated
proportionately to the change in the carrying amount. The accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is adjusted to
equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking into account accumulated
impairment losses.
In such a situation, the revised carrying amount of the machinery will be as follows:
Gross carrying amount 250 [(200/120) x 150]
Net carrying amount 150
Accumulated depreciation 100 ( 250 – 150)
Journal entry:
Plant and machinery account Dr 50
To accumulated depreciation 20
To revaluation reserve 30
Depreciation subsequent to revaluation:
Since the Gross Block has been restated, the depreciation charge will be ₹25 per annum (250/10 years).
Journal entry:
Accumulated Depreciation Dr. ₹25 p.a.
To Plant and Machinery (Gross Block) ₹25 p.a.
(b) The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset.
The amount of the adjustment of accumulated depreciation forms part of the increase or decrease in carrying amount that is
accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 16.
In this case, the gross carrying amount is restated to Rs 150 to reflect the fair value and accumulated depreciation is set at zero.
Journal entry:
Accumulated Depreciation Dr. 80
To Plant and Machinery (Gross Block) 80
Plant and Machinery (Gross Block) Dr. 30
To Revaluation Reserve 30
Question 33. Heaven Ltd. had purchased a machinery on 1.4.2001 for ₹30,00,000, which is reflected in its books at written down
value of ₹ 17,50,000 on 1.4.2006. The company has estimated an upward revaluation of 10% on 1.4.2006 to arrive at the fair value of
the asset. Heaven Ltd. availed the option given by Ind AS of transferring some of the surplus as the asset is used by an enterprise.
On 1.4.2008, the machinery was revalued downward by 15% and the company also re- estimated the machinery’s remaining life to
be 8 years. On 31.3.2010 the machinery was sold for ₹9,35,000. The company charges depreciation on straight line method.
Prepare machinery account in the books of Heaven Ltd. over its useful life to record theabove transactions.
10,81,094 10,81,094
Working notes:
1. Calculation of useful life of machinery on 1.4.2001:
Depreciation charge in 5 years = (30,00,000 – 17,50,000) = 12,50,000
Depreciation per year as per Straight Line method = 12,50,000 / 5 years
= ₹ 2,50,000
Remaining useful life = 1 7 ,50,000 / 2,50,000 = 7 years
Total useful life = 5 years + 7 years = 12 years
SCOPE: Ind AS 116 shall be applied to ALL LEASES, including leases of Right-of-Use (ROU) assets in a sub-lease, except:
(a) Leases to explore for or use minerals,oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources. (Ind AS 106).
(b) Leases of biological assets held by a lessee (Ind AS 41).
(c) Licences of intellectual property granted by a lessor (Ind AS 115).
(d) Rights held by a lessee under licensing agreements for such items as motion picture films, video recordings,
plays, manuscripts, patents and copyrights (Ind AS 38).
RECOGNITION EXEMPTION: - In addition to above scope exclusions, a lessee can elect not to apply Ind AS 116’s recognition requirements
to:
1. Short-term leases (Lease term of 12 months or less); and
2. Leases for which the underlying asset is of low-value.
If a lessee elects to apply the above recognition exemption, the lessee shall recognise the lease payments associated with those leases as
an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis.
What is lease: A lease is defined as a contract, or part of contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of
time in exchange for consideration.
Note 1. Meaning of right to control: - To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time,
an entity shall assess whether, throughout the period of use, the customer has both of the following:
(a) The right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and
(b) The right to direct the use of the identified asset.
Note 2: - Ind AS 16 requires lessor and lessee to determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract and accounting in
the book of lessor and lessee is made on the commencement date of the lease agreement.
Here, A ‘lessee’ is defined as an entity that obtains the right to use an underlying asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Note 3. Commencement date is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee.
Identifying and separating lease components of a contract: Sometimes, there are contracts that contain rights to use
multiple assets (for e.g., a building and an equipment, multiple pieces of equipment, etc.). The right to use each such asset is
considered as a ‘separate’ lease component ONLY IF BOTH the following conditions are satisfied:
The lessee can benefit from the use of the asset either on its own OR together with other resources that are readily available
to the lessee AND
The underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the
contract.
If one or both of these criteria are not met then, the right to use multiple assets is considered a ‘single’ lease component,
i.e., not a ‘separate’ lease component.
Meaning of lease payments: Lease payments are defined as payments made by a lessee to a lessor relating to the right to
use an underlying asset during the lease term, comprising the following:
(a) Fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives,
(b) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate,
(c) The exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option,
(d) Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease
For the lessee, lease payments also include amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees.
For the lessors, lease payment includes residual value guarantees provided by the lessee,a party related to the lessee or a third
party unrelated to the lessor that is financially capable of discharging the obligations under the guarantee.
Note 1: ‘Fixed payments’ are defined as payments made by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an underlying asset
during the lease term, excluding variable lease payments.
Note 2: In substance fixed lease payment: - lease payments also include any in-substance fixed lease payments which are the
payments that may, in form, contain variability but that, in substance, are unavoidable.
Question 1. Entity Q enters into a seven-year lease for a piece of machinery. The contract sets out the lease payments as
follows.
– If Q uses the machinery within a given month, then an amount of 2,000 accrues for that month.
– If Q does not use the machinery within a given month, then an amount of 1,000 accrues for that month.
What is considered as fixed lease payment in this case?
Solution: Q considers the contract and notes that although the lease payments contain variability based on usage, and there is a
realistic possibility that Q may not use the machinery in some months, a monthly payment of R s 1,000 is unavoidable. Accordingly, this
is an in-substance fixed payment, and is included in the measurement of the lease liability.
Note 3. Variable lease payments that depends on an index or rate: - ‘Variable lease payments’ are defined as the portion of payments
made by a lessee to a lessor for the right to use an underlying asset during the lease term that varies because of changes in facts
or circumstances occurring after the commencement date, other than the passage of time.
These may include, for e.g., payments linked to a consumer price index, payments linked to a benchmark interest rate (such as
R e p o r a t e , London Interbank offered rate i.e., LIBOR or payments that vary to reflect changes in market rental rates. Such payments
are included in the lease payments and are measured using the prevailing index or rate at the measurement date (i.e., lease
commencement date for initial measurement).
Question 2. An entity enters into a 10-year lease of property. The lease payment for the first year is ₹1,000. The lease
payments are linked to the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI at the beginning of the first year is 100. Lease payments are
updated at the end of every second year. At the end of year one, the CPI is 105. At the end of year two, the CPI is 108. What
should be included in lease payments?
Solution: At the lease commencement date, the lease payments are ₹1,000 per year for 10 years. The entity does not take into
consideration the potential future changes in the index. At the end of year one, the payments have not changed and hence, the
liability is not updated.
At the end of year two, when the lease payments change, the entity updates the remaining eight lease payments to ₹1,080 per year
(i.e., 1,000 / 100 x 108).
Solution: At the commencement date, Entity A s h o u l d measure the lease liability as the present value of the fixed lease payments (i.e.,
five annual payments of 5,00,000). Entity A should exclude the non-lease component from its lease liability because they are variable payments that
depend on usage. Entity A should recognise the payments for water – as a variable lease payment – in profit or loss when they are incurred.
Residual value guarantees: ‘Residual value guarantee’ is defined as a guarantee made to a lessor by a party unrelated to
the lessor that the value (or part of the value) of an underlying asset at the end of a lease will be at least a specified amount.
Residual value guarantee for a lessee: - Lease payments include amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value
guarantees. A lessee may provide a guarantee to the lessor that the value of the underlying asset it returns to the lessor at the end of
the lease will be at least of a specified amount. Such guarantees are enforceable obligations that the lessee has assumed by
entering into the lease agreement.
Note: - A lessee is required to remeasure the lease liability if there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual
value guarantee.
Question 4. An entity (a lessee) enters into a lease and guarantees that the lessor will realise ₹20,000 from selling the asset to another
party at the end of the lease. At lease commencement, based on the lessee’s estimate of the residual value of the underlying asset, the
lessee determines that it expects that it will owe ₹8,000 at the end of the lease. Whether the lessee should include the said payment
of ₹8,000 as a lease payment?
Solution: The lessee should include the amount of ₹8,000 as a lease payment because it is expected that it will owe the same to the lessor
under the residual value guarantee.
Residual value guarantee for a lessor: Ind AS 116 requires lessors to include in the lease payments, any residual value guarantees
provided to the lessor by the lessee, a party related to the lessee, or a third party unrelated to the lessor that is financially` capable of
discharging the obligations under the guarantee. This amount included in the lease payments is different from that for a lessee which only
includes the amount expected to be payable by lessee only.
Discount rates: Discount rates are used to determine the present value of the lease payments, which are used to determine Right of
Use asset and Lease liability in case of a lessee and to measure a lessor’s net investment in the lease.
Discount rate for a lessor: Lessor to use the interest rate implicit in the lease only.
Ind AS 116 requires lessees to recognise a liability to make lease payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset (i.e.,
the ROU Asset) during the lease term for ALL leases (except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, if they choose to apply such
exemptions).
Measurement of lease liability: At the commencement date, a lessee initially measures the Lease Liability at the
present value of the remaining lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease
(or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate). Lease payments used in measuring the
lease liability are amounts due to the lessor excluding any payments that a lessee makes before lease commencement.
Question 5. Entity L enters into a lease for 10 years, with a single lease payment payable at the beginning of each year. The initial
lease payment is ₹100,000. Lease payments will increase by the rate of LIBOR each year. At the date of commencement of the
lease, LIBOR is 2 per cent.
Assume that the interest rate implicit in the lease is 5 per cent. How lease liability is initially measured?
Solution: In the given case, the lease payments depend on a rate (i.e., LIBOR) and hence is included in measuring lease liability. As per Ind
AS 116, the lease payments should initially be measured using the rate (i.e., LlBOR) as at the commencement date. LIBOR at that date is 2
per cent; therefore, in measuring the lease liability, it is assumed that each year the payments will increase by 2 per cent, as follows:
A lessee initially measures the ROU Asset at COST, which consists of all of the following:
To lessor/bank account (any lease payment paid/payable less cash incentive received)
To bank/ account ( initial direct cost incurred, any prepaid lease payment)
Treatment and meaning of Initial direct cost: ‘Initial direct costs’ are defined as the incremental costs of obtaining a
lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained, except for such costs incurred by a manufacturer or
dealer lessor in connection with a finance lease.
For lessee :- Ind AS 116 requires lessees to include their initial direct costs in their initial measurement of the right-of-use asset. Examples of costs
included in initial direct costs are.
Commission t o selling agents
Lease document preparation costs incurred after the execution of the lease
For lessors, initial direct costs, other than those incurred by manufacturer or dealer lessors, are included in the initial
measurement of the net investment in the lease and reduce the amount of income recognised over the lease term.
Question 6. Entity Y and Entity Z execute a 12-year lease of a railcar with the following terms on 1 January, 2023:
Question 7. Entity ABC (lessee) enters into a three-year lease of equipment. Entity ABC agrees to make the following annual
payments at the end of each year:
₹ 20,000 in year one
₹ 30,000 in year two
₹ 50,000 in year three.
Assumed a discount rate of 12% (which is Entity ABC’s incremental borrowing rate because the interest rate implicit in the lease
cannot be readily determined). Entity ABC depreciates the ROU Asset on a straight-line basis over the lease term. How would Entity
ABC would account for the said lease under Ind AS 116?
Question 8. COC Ltd enters into a property lease with Entity H. The initial term of the lease is 10 years with a 5- year renewal option. The economic life
of the property is 40 years and the fair value of the leased property is ₹50 Lacs. COC Ltd has an option to purchase the property at the end of the lease
term for ₹30 lacs. The first advance annual payment is ₹5 lacs with an increase of 3% every year thereafter. The implicit rate of interest is 9.04%.
Entity H gives COC Ltd an incentive of ₹2 lacs (payable at the beginning of year 2), which is to be used for normal tenant improvement.
COC Ltd is reasonably certain to exercise that purchase option. How would COC Ltd measure the right-of-use asset and lease liability at the
beginning of lease and also calculate depreciation to be charged each year?
Impairment of ROU asset: Lessees’ ROU Assets are subject to existing impairment requirements in Ind AS 36 Impairment of Assets. Ind AS
36 requires an impairment indicator analysis at each reporting period. If any indicators are present, the entity is required to estimate the
recoverable amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit (CGU) of which the asset is a part). The entity has to recognise an impairment loss
if the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than the carrying amount of the CGU. After an impairment loss is recognised, the adjusted
carrying amount of the ROU Asset would be its new basis for depreciation.
Subsequent reversal of a previously recognised impairment loss needs to be assessed if there is any indication that an impairment loss recognised
in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased. In recognising any reversal, the increased carrying amount of the asset must not exceed
the carrying amount that would have been determined after depreciation, had there been no impairment.
Re-measurement of lease liability: Ind AS 16 requires lessee to remeasure lease liabilities upon a change in payments
on account of any of the following:
(i) the reassessment of lease term on account of reasonable certainty to exercise/ not exercise of extension and/ or
termination option.
(ii) the reassessment of whether the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset.
(iii) changes in in-substance fixed lease payments.
(iv) the amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees.
(v) future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate.
Question 9. Entity W entered into a contract for lease of retail store with Entity J on January 01/01/2021. The initial term of the lease is 5 years
with a renewal option of further 3 years. The annual payments for initial term and renewal term is ₹100,000 and ₹110,000 respectively payable
at the beginning of every year. The annual lease payment will increase based on the annual increase in the CPI at the end of the preceding year.
Entity W’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease inception date and as at 01/01/2024 is 5% and 6% respectively and the CPI at lease
commencement date and as at 01/01/2024 is 120 and 125 respectively.
At the lease commencement date, Entity W did not have a significant economic incentive to exercise the renewal option. On 1st January 2024,
Entity W installed unique lease improvements into the retail store with an estimated five-year economic life. Entity W determined that it would
only recover the cost of the improvements if it exercises the renewal option, creating a significant economic incentive to extend.
Is Entity W required to remeasure the lease on 1st January 2024? If yes calculate the revised value of ROU asset and lease liability on the date of
remeasurement and also pass journal entry for remeasurement.
Lease modification: A ‘lease modification’ is a change in the scope of a lease, or the consideration for a lease, that was
not part of the original terms and conditions of the lease (for e.g., adding or terminating the right to use one or more underlying
assets, or extending or shortening the contractual lease term).
The following are examples of lease modifications that may be negotiated after the lease commencement date:
A lease extension
Early termination of the lease
A change in the timing of lease payments
Leasing additional space in the same building.
Surrendering a part of the underlying asset.
Lease modification can result in:
A separate lease OR
A change in the accounting for the existing lease (i.e., not a separate lease).
NOTE: - The exercise of an existing purchase or renewal option or a change in the assessment of whether such options are reasonably certain to
be exercised are not lease modifications but can result in the remeasurement of Lease Liabilities and ROU Assets (Remeasurement – as
discussed above).
Question 10. Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 2,000 square metres of office space. At the beginning of Year 6, Lessee and
Lessor agree to amend the original lease for the remaining five years to include an additional 3,000 square metres of office space
in the same building. The additional space is made available for use by Lessee at the end of the second quarter of Year 6. The
increase in total consideration for the lease is commensurate with the current market rate for the new 3,000 square metres of
office space. How should the said modification be accounted for?
Solution: Lessee accounts for the modification as a separate lease, separate from the original 10-year lease because the modification
grants Lessee an additional right to use an underlying asset, and the increase in consideration for the lease is commensurate with the
stand-alone price of the additional right-of-use asset
Accordingly, at the commencement date of the new lease (at the end of the second quarter of Year 6), Lessee recognises a ROU Asset
and a lease liability relating to the lease of the additional 3,000 square metres of office space.
Question 11. (Modification that increases the scope of the lease by extending the contractual lease term): Lessee enters into
a 10-year lease for 5,000 square metres of office space. The annual lease payments are ₹1,00,000 payable at the end of each year.
The interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the commencement
date is 6% p.a. At the beginning of Year 7, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease by extending the contractual lease
term by four years. The annual lease payments are unchanged (i.e., ₹1,00,000 payable at the end of each year from Year 7 to Year
14). Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 7 is 7% p.a. How should the said modification be accounted
for?
Question 12 (Modification that decreases the scope of the lease) Lessee enters into a 10-year lease for 5,000 square metres of office space. The
annual lease payments are ₹50,000 payable at the end of each year. The interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. Lessee’s
incremental borrowing rate at the commencement date is 6% p.a. At the beginning of Year 6, Lessee and Lessor agree to amend the original lease
to reduce the space to only 2,500 square metres of the original space starting from the end of the first quarter of Year 6. The annual fixed lease
payments (from Year 6 to Year 10) are ₹30,000. Lessee’s incremental borrowing rate at the beginning of Year 6 is 5% p.a. How should the said
modification be accounted for?
Solution: 1. Calculation of Initial value of ROU asset and lease liability:

Lessee will determine the proportionate decrease in the carrying amount of the ROU asset on the basis of the remaining ROU Asset (i.e., 2,500
square metres corresponding to 50% of the original ROU Asset).
50% of the pre-modification ROU Asset (₹1,83,975) is ₹ 91,987.50.

Recognition of finance lease: - At the commencement date, a lessor shall recognise assets held under a finance lease in its balance sheet and present
them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.
For finance leases (other than those involving manufacturer and dealer lessors), initial direct costs are included in the initial measurement of
the finance lease receivable.
(b) Operating lease: - an ‘Operating Lease’ is defined as a lease that does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental
to ownership of an underlying asset.
Accounting of operating lease in the book of lessor:
- lessor shall recognise lease income on SLM basis over the lease term.
- Lessor shall continue to recognise respective asset in his books of account and charge depreciation on it.
- Journal entries at the yearend in the book of lessor: -
(a) When given on lease: no entry
(b) At the yearend: -

(ii) no depreciation will be charged by the lessor on this asset in future.
(iii) interest income (finance income) is booked over the lease term on lease receivable to unwind the discount.
Note:
(i) Gross investment in lease = total lease payment by the lessee + unguaranteed residual value.
(ii) Net investment in lease = PV of Gross investment in lease (Using lessor’s implicit rate of return) less deferred selling profit
(as per ICMAI Study material only).
Note: - Deferred selling profit is calculated as the lease receivableless the carrying amount of the underlying asset, net of
unguaranteed residual.
(iii) unguaranteed residual value = total expected residual value by the lessor – GRV by the lessee.
(iv) unearned finance income = Gross investment – net investment in lease.
(v) Interest income includes interest on the lease receivable, accretion of the unguaranteed residual value and amortisation
of deferred selling profit. The rate for recognising interest income to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the
remaining net investment is IRR.
Question 13. COC Ltd given his building on finance lease for the period of 3 years on annual lease payment of ₹1,00,000 at the
end of one year. Guaranteed residual value by the lessee is ₹20,000. Expected unguaranteed residual value is ₹30,000.
Discounting rate is 10%. Carrying amount of building in the book of COC Ltd is ₹2,50,000. Pass journal entries for the first year
of lease. Also calculate Unearned finance income.
Solution: PV of lease receivable ₹2,63,620; PV of UGRV ₹22,530; Net investment ₹2,86,150;
Finance income on lease receivable 1st year- ₹28,615; 2nd year- ₹21,477; 3rd year- ₹13,758.
Unearned finance income ₹63,850.
Accounting of finance income in the book of dealer lessor: Dealer lessor will also recognise sales and cost of goods
sold (COGS) in his journal entry along with recognition of lease receivable and derecognition of asset.

Question 14. A Dealer-Lessor enters into a 10-year lease of equipment with Lessee. The equipment is not specialised in nature and is expected to
have alternative use to Lessor at the end of the 10-year lease term. Under the lease:
Lessor receives annual lease payments of ₹15,000, payable at the end of the year.
Lessor expects the residual value of the equipment to be ₹50,000 at the end of the 10-year lease term
Lessee provides a residual value guarantee that protects Lessor from the first ₹30,000 of loss for a sale at a price below the estimated
residual value at the end of the lease term (i.e., ₹50,000)
The equipment has an estimated remaining economic life of 15 years, a carrying amount of ₹1,00,000 and a fair value of ₹1,11,000.
The lease does not transfer ownership of the underlying asset to Lessee at the end of the lease term or contain an option to purchase
the underlying asset
The interest rate implicit in the lease is 10.078%.
How should the Lessor account for the same in its books of accounts?
Answer:
Disclosure in the book of lessor: The objective of the disclosures is for lessors to disclose information in the notes that,
together with the information provided in the balance sheet, statement of profit or loss and statement of cash flows, gives a
basis forusers of financial statements to assess the effect that leases have on the financial position, financial performance and
cash flows of the lessor. A lessor shall disclose the following amounts for the reporting period:
(a) For finance leases: (i) selling profit or loss; (ii) finance income on the net investment in the lease; and (iii) income
relating to variable lease payments not included in the measurement of the net investment in the lease.
(b) For operating leases: lease income, separately disclosing income relating to variable lease payments that
do not depend on an index or a rate.
Concept of deferred selling profit (exception to above treatment in the book of lessor):
Question 15. Lessor Y leases out an equipment (carrying amount ₹1,36,000 having 5 years life) to Lessee X for 3 years for
annual payment of ₹50,000 (at the end of every year) and residual value of ₹50,000, guaranteed by X up to loss of ₹30,000.
Interest rate implicit is 10%. At the end of the lease the equipment is valued at ₹33,000. Show accounting in books of X and Y.
Show accounting of lease classified as finance lease in books of Y. The rate of interest income on the net investment in lease,
however, is 19.274%. (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: Accounting in books of Lessee X: At 10% implicit rate of interest the (Right-of-use) ROU Asset and Lease
Liability are initially recognised at present value of payments as shown below.

4. Presentation currency is the currency in which the financial statements are presented, the presentation currency may be different from the entity’s
functional currency.
• Other factors that may provide supporting evidence to determine an entity’s functional currency are (Secondary indicators):
(a) the currency in which funds from financing activities (i.e. issuing debt and equity instruments) are generated; and
(b) the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.
For practical reasons, a rate that approximates the actual exchange rate is often used. An average rate for a week or a month might be used
for all transactions in each foreign currency occurring during that period.
However, if exchange rates fluctuate significantly, the use of the average rate for a period is inappropriate.
Question 1. During the year 2023-24, COC Ltd made following foreign transaction.
Examples of monetary items include: All liabilities(long term, short term), Debtors, Bills receivables, investments in securities, pensions and
other employee benefits to be paid in cash; provisions that are to be settled in cash, lease liabilities; cash dividends that are recognised as a
liability;
Note 2: Meaning of Non-Monetary items: - There is no fixed or determinable number of units of currency. For example,
items of PPE, stock, prepaid expenses, advance income etc.
If such an asset is non-monetary and measured in a foreign currency, the carrying amount is determined by comparing:
(a) the cost or carrying amount, as appropriate, translated at the exchange rate at the date when that amount was determined
(i.e., the rate at the date of the transaction); and
(b) the net realisable value or recoverable amount, as appropriate, translated at the exchange rate at the date when that value was
determined (e.g., the closing rate at the end of the reporting period).
Note- The above may result in an impairment loss being recognised in the functional currency but not in the foreign currency, or vice versa.
Question 2. Following are balances of assets and liabilities appearing in the balance sheet of COC Ltd related to foreign
transactions as on 31 st March 2024.
Particulars Amount (US $) Exchange rate
Bank loan 20,000
Debtors 10,000
Creditors 12,000
Equipments 16,000
Building 14,000
Question 4. Entity A’s functional currency is Rupee. It has a building located in US acquired at a cost of US$ 20,000 when the
exchange rate was US$ 1= ₹60. The building is carried at cost in the financial statements of Entity A. For the purpose of this question
depreciation is ignored. At the balance sheet date, there is an indication of impairment for this building. Consequently, an
impairment test has been made in accordance with Ind AS36 as at the balance sheet date and the recoverable amount of
the building is determined to be US$ 19,000. The exchange rate as at the balance sheet date is US$ 1= ₹64. Calculate amount of
impairment loss, if any. (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: Cost translated at the exchange rate on the dateof acquisition US$ 20,000 @ ₹60 per US$ is ₹12,00,000.
Recoverable amount translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date-US$19,000 @ ₹64 per US$ is ₹12,16,000.
Though there is an impairment loss of US$ 1000 (US$20,000-US$19,000) in terms of foreign currency, there is no impairment
loss in termsof functional currency. This is because, recoverable amount in terms of functional currency (₹12,16,000)
exceeds carrying amount (i.e., cost) in terms of functional currency (₹12,00,000). Hence, no impairment loss is recognised
for the building.
Question 5. On 1st June 2023, COC Ltd took a loan of US$ 20,000 from a foreign bank at interest rate of 10% p.a. On that
date rate was US$ 1= ₹80. On 1st February 2024, COC Ltd made payment of its loan along with interest. Exchange rate on
1st February 2024 was US$ 1= ₹82. Make journal entries for the year ended on 31st march 2024.
Question 6. On 1st June 2023, COC Ltd took a loan of US$ 20,000 from a foreign bank at interest rate of 10% p.a. On that
date rate was US$ 1= ₹80. Make journal entries for the year ended on 31st march 2024 assuming that loan and interest are
outstanding at the end of the year. Exchange rate on 31st March 2024 was US$ 1= ₹82.
Question 7. COC Ltd ’s functional currency is Rupee. It has a plant located in US acquired at a cost of US$ 1,00,000 on credit
basis when the exchange rate was US$ 1= ₹80. At the balance sheet date, company decided to follow revaluation model. For
the purpose of this question depreciation is ignored. At the balance sheet date, fair value of the building is determined to be
US$ 1,05,000. The exchange rate as at the balance sheet date is US$ 1= ₹84. Calculate amount at which building will be
recorded in the book of COC Ltd as on 31st March 2024 also make journal entry for revaluation.
Question 8. TATA Ltd ’s functional currency is Rupee. It has a building located in US acquired at a cost of US$ 1,00,000 for
cash when the exchange rate was US$ 1= ₹80. At the balance sheet date, company decided to follow revaluation model. For
the purpose of this question depreciation is ignored. At the balance sheet date, fair value of the building is determined to be
US$ 90,000. The exchange rate as at the balance sheet date is US$ 1= ₹82. Calculate amount at which building will be recorded
in the book of COC Ltd as on 31st March 2024 also make journal entry for revaluation.
Note: - When monetary items arise from a foreign currency transaction and there is a change in the exchange rate between
the transaction date and the date of settlement, an exchange difference results. When the transactionis settled within the
same accounting period as that in which it occurred, all the exchange difference is recognised in that period. However, when
the transaction is settled in a subsequent accounting period, the exchange difference recognised in each period up to the
date of settlement is determined by the changein exchange rates during each period.
Question 9. On 30th January, 2023, A Ltd. purchased a machinery for $ 5,000 from USA supplier on credit basis. A Ltd.’s functional currency is
Rupees. The exchange rate on the date of transaction is 1 $ = ₹60. The fair value of the machinery determined on 31st March, 2023 is $ 5,500.
The exchange rate on 31st March, 2023 is 1$ = ₹65. The payment to overseas supplier done on 31st March 2024 and the exchange rate on 31st
March 2024 is 1$ = ₹67. The fair value of the machinery remains unchanged for the year ended on 31 st March 2024. Prepare the Journal entries
for the year ended on 31st M a r c h 2023 and year 2024 according to Ind AS 21. Tax rate is 30%. A Ltd. follows Revaluation method in
respect of Plant & Machinery. (ICAI Study material)

Question 10. Infotech Global Ltd. has a functional currency of USD and needs to translate its financial statements into the functional and
presentation currency of Infotech Inc. (L$). The following balances appear in the books of Infotech Global Ltd. at the year-end prior to
translation:
Particular USD L$
Property, plant and equipment 50,000
Receivables 9,35,000
Total assets 9,85,000
Issued capital 50,000 30,055
Opening retained earnings 28,000 15,274
Profit & Loss A/c (Profit for the year) 20,000
Accounts payable 8,40,000
Accrued liabilities 47,000
Total equity and liabilities 9,85,000
Translate the above balances of Infotech Global Ltd. into L$ ready for consolidation by Infotech Inc. (Share capital and opening retained earnings
have been pre-populated.) Prepare a working of the cumulative balance of the foreign currency translation reserve.
Additional information: Relevant exchange rates are:
Rate at beginning of the year L$ 1 = USD 1.22
Average rate for the year L$ 1 = USD 1.175
Rate at end of the year L$ 1 = USD 1.13
When there is difference in reporting dates of reporting entity and foreign operation:
When there is difference in the year end of foreign operation and that of the reporting entity, the foreign operation often prepares additional
statements as of the same date as the reporting entity’s financial statements.
When such financial statements are not prepared, Ind AS 110 allows the use of a different date provided that the difference is no greater
than three months and adjustments are made for the effects of any significant transactions or other events that occur between the different
dates.
In such a case, the assets and liabilities of the foreign operation are translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period of the
foreign operation. Adjustments are made for significant changes in exchange rates up to the end of the reporting period of the reporting
entity in accordance with Ind AS 110.
A similar approach is used in applying the equity method to associates and joint ventures in accordance with Ind AS 28, Investment in Associates
and Joint Ventures.
CONCEPT BUILDING EXAMPLE: Parent P has USD as its functional currency and Subsidiary S has Euro as its functional currency. P, whose
reporting date is 31st March, lends USD 100 to S on 30th September,2023. S converted the loan amount received into Euro on receipt.
USD EURO
Exchange rate at 30th September 2023 1 1.5
Exchange rate at 31st March 2024 1 2
On consolidation at 31st March, 2024, the receivable and payable will be eliminated. However, an exchange loss equivalent to EURO 50 for
the year ended 31st March, 2024 will remain on consolidation. This is appropriate because S will need to obtain USD in order to repay the liability.
Therefore, the group has a foreign currency exposure. The exchange loss will be taken to consolidated profit or loss, unless the loan forms
part of P’s net investment in S in which case it will be transferred to other comprehensive income at the time of consolidation.
Question 11. The functional and presentation currency of parent P is USD while the functional currency of its subsidiary S is EURO. P sold goods
having a value of USD 100 to S when the exchange rate was USD 1 = Euro 2. At year-end, the amount is still due, and the exchange rate is USD 1 =
Euro 2.2. How should the exchange difference, if any, be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements?
Solution: At year-end, S should restate its accounts payable to EURO 220, recognising a loss of Euro 20 in its profit or loss. Thus, in the books
of S, the balance payable to P will appear at EURO 220 while in the books of P the balance receivable from S will be USD 100.
For consolidation purposes, the assets and liabilities of S will be translated to USD at the closing rate.
At the time of consolidation, USD 100 which will get eliminated against the receivable in the books of P but the exchange loss of EURO 20
recorded in the subsidiary’s statement of profit or loss has no equivalent gain in the parent’s financial statements. Therefore, exchange loss of EURO
20 will remain in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.
NOTE: - A Group may have intra-group transactions like sale and purchase of various assets such as property, plant and equipment, intangible assets or
inventory. These transactions could result in intra-group profits or losses. At the time of consolidation, these profits / losses are eliminated until the profit
or loss is realized i.e., when the asset is sold outside the group, depreciated, amortised or written off as per the requirements of Ind AS 110. The
elimination of intra-group profits / losses arising from such transactions, like sales between entities that are consolidated, should be based on the spot rate
i.e., the exchange rate of the date of the sale.
Question 12. M Ltd is engaged in the business of manufacturing of bottles for pharmaceutical companies and non-pharmaceutical companies. It has a
wholly owned subsidiary, G Ltd, which is engaged in the business of pharmaceuticals. G Ltd purchases the pharmaceutical bottles from its parent company.
The demand of G Ltd is very high and hence to cater to its shortfall, G Ltd also purchases the bottles from other companies. Purchases are made
at the competitive prices.
M Ltd sold pharmaceuticals bottles to G Ltd for Euro 12 lacs on 1 st February, 2023. The cost of these bottles was ₹830 lacs in the books of M Ltd at
the time of sale. At the year-end i.e., 31st March, 2023, all these bottles were lying as closing stock and payable with G Ltd.
Euro is the functional currency of G Ltd. while Indian Rupee is the functional currency of M Ltd. Following additional information is available:
Exchange rate on 1st February, 2023 1 Euro = ₹83
Exchange rate on 31st March, 2023 1 Euro = ₹85
Provide the accounting treatment for the above in books of M Ltd. and G Ltd. Also show its impact on consolidated financial statements. Support your
answer by Journal entries, wherever necessary, in the books of M Ltd.
M Ltd will recognize sales of ₹ 996 lacs (12 lacs Euro x 83) Profit on sale of inventory = 996 lacs – 830 lacs = ₹166 lacs.
On balance sheet date receivable from G Ltd. will be translated at closing rate i.e., 1 Euro = ₹85. Therefore, unrealised forex gain will be recorded in
standalone profit and loss of ₹24 lacs. (i.e. (85 - 83) x 12 Lacs)
Accounting treatment in the books of G Ltd (Functional currency EURO): - G Ltd will recognize inventory on 1st February, 2023 of Euro 12
lacs which will also be its closing stock at year end.
Journal Entry:
(in Euros) (in Euros)
Purchase Dr. 12 lakhs
To M Ltd. 12 lakhs
Accounting treatment in the consolidated financial statements: - Receivable and payable in respect of above mentioned sale / purchase
between M Ltd and G Ltd will get eliminated.
At the time of consolidation, the second element amounting to ₹166 lacs will be eliminated from the closing stock.
Journal Entry:
₹ (in Lacs) ₹ (in Lacs)
Consolidated P&L A/c Dr. 166
To Inventory 166
(Being profit element of intragroup transaction eliminated)
- exchange differences on such transactions are recognised in P& L account. (As in case of treatment of monetary items.)
- exchange difference is initially recognised in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) because loss/profit due to exchange difference will never be
realised due to non-settlement of such loan in foreseeable future.
- and if such loan is settled in coming future, then only it will be re-classified from equity (OCI) to profit & loss account on its disposable.
Question 13. Entity A, whose functional currency is ₹, has a foreign operation, Entity B, with a Euro functional currency. Entity B
issues to A perpetual debt (i.e., it has no maturity) denominated in euros with an annual interest rate of 6% . The perpetual debt
has no issuer calloption or holder put option. Thus, contractually it is just an infinite stream of interest payments in Euros.
In A's consolidated financial statements, can the perpetual debt be considered, in accordance with Ind AS 21 para 15, a monetary item
"for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future" (i.e., part of A's net investment in B), with the
exchange gains and losses on the perpetual debt therefore being recorded in equity?
Solution: Yes, as per Ind AS 21 net investments in a foreign operation is the amount of the reporting entity’s interest in the net assets
of that operation.
As per para 15 of Ind AS 21, an entity may have a monetary item that is receivable from or payable to a foreign operation. An item for
which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future is, in substance, a part of the entity’s net investment in
that foreign operation. Such monetary items may include long-term receivables or loans. They do not include trade receivables or
trade payables.
when the partial disposal involves the loss of control of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, regardless of whether the entity
retains a non-controlling interest (NCI) in its former subsidiary after the partial disposal; and
when the retained interest after the partial disposal of an interest in a joint arrangement or a partial disposal of an interest in an associate
that includes a foreign operation is a financial asset that includes a foreign operation.
Example: Parent P owns 100 percent of foreign subsidiary S. P sells 70 percent of its investment and loses control of S. The entire balance in
the foreign currency translation reserve in respect of S is reclassified to profit or loss.
EXAMPLE 3. Parent P owns 35 percent of foreign associate B. P sells a 5 percent stake and retains significant influence over B. Therefore, one-
seventh (5/35) of the balance in the foreign currency translation reserve is reclassified to profit or loss.
NOTE: - A write-down of the carrying amount of a foreign operation, either because of its own losses or because of an impairment recognised by the
investor, does not constitute a partial disposal. Accordingly, no part of the foreign exchange gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income is
reclassified to profit or loss at the time of a write-down.
DISCLOSURES REQUIREMENTS:
Ind AS 21 requires following disclosures:
(a) amount of exchange differences recognised in profit or loss;
(b) net exchange differences recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate component of equity, along with the
reconciliation of the amount at the beginning and end of the period;
(c) when the presentation currency is different from the functional currency - that fact shall be stated, together with disclosure of the functional
currency and the reason for using a different presentation currency;
(d) in case of change in functional currency of either the reporting entity or a significant foreign operation:
(i) fact of such change;
(ii) reason for the change and;
(iii) date of change in functional currency;
(e) if presentation currency is different from functional currency, the financial statements can be described as complying with Ind AS only if all
Ind AS including the translation method of this Standard is complied with.
However, if an entity presents its financial statements or supplementary financial information in a currency other than its functional or
presentation currency:
PRACTICE QUESTIONS:
Question 14. Parent P acquired 90 percent of subsidiary S some years ago. P now sells its entire investment in S for ₹ 1,500 lakhs. The net
assets of S are ₹1,000 and the NCI in S is ₹100 lakhs. The cumulative exchange differences that have arisen during P’s ownership are gains of ₹
200 lakhs, resulting in P’s foreign currency translation reserve in respect of S having a credit balance of ₹180 lakhs, while the cumulative amount of
exchange differences that have been attributed to the NCI is ₹20 lakhs. Calculate P’s gain on disposal in its consolidated financial statements.
Solution: P’s gain on disposal in its consolidated financial statements would be calculated in the following manner:
(₹ in Lakhs)
Sale proceeds 1,500
Net assets of S (1,000)
NCI derecognized 100
Foreign currency translation reserve 180
Gain on disposal 780
Question 15. On 1st January, 2023, P Ltd. purchased a machine for $ 2 lakhs. The functional currency of P Ltd. is Rupees. At that date the
exchange rate was $1= ₹ 68. P Ltd. is not required to pay for this purchase until 30th June, 2023. Rupees strengthened against the $ in the
three months following purchase and by 31st March, 2023 the exchange rate was $1 = ₹65. CFO of P Ltd. feels that these exchange fluctuations
wouldn’t affect the financial statements because P Ltd. has an asset and a liability denominated in rupees, which was initially the same amount. He
also feels that P Ltd. depreciates this machine over four years so the future year-end amounts won’t be the same. Examine the impact of this
transaction on the financial statements of P Ltd. for the year ended 31st March, 2023 as per Ind AS.
Solution: As per Ind AS 21 ‘The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates’ the asset and liability would initially be
recognised at the rate of exchange in force at the transaction date i.e., 1st January, 2023. Therefore, the amount initially
recognised would be ₹1,36,00,000 ($ 2,00,000 x 68).
The liability is a monetary item so it is retranslated using the rate of exchange in force at 31st March, 2023. This makes the
closing liability of ₹1,30,00,000 ($ 2,00,000 x 65).
The loss on re-translation of ₹6,00,000 (1,36,00,000 – 1,30,00,000) is recognised in the statement of profit or loss.
The machine is a non-monetary asset carried at historical cost. Therefore, it continues to be translated using the rate of ₹ 68 to $ 1.
Depreciation of ₹8,50,000 (1,36,00,000 x ¼ x 3/12) would be charged to profit or loss for the year ended 31st March, 2023.
Question 17. Global Limited, an Indian company acquired on 30th September , 2023 70% of the share capital of Mark Limited, an entity
registered as company in Germany. The functional currency of Global Limited is Rupees and its financial year end is 31st March, 2024.
(i) The fair value of the net assets of Mark Limited was 23 million EURO and the purchase consideration paid is 17.5 million EURO on 30th
September, 2023. The exchange rates as at 30th September, 2023 was ₹82/ EURO and at 31st March, 2024 was ₹84 / EURO.
What is the value at which the goodwill has to be recognised in the financial statementsof Global Limited as on 31st March, 2024?
(ii) Mark Limited sold goods costing 2.4 million EURO to Global Limited for 4.2 million EURO during the year ended 31st March, 2024. The exchange
rate on the date of purchase by Global Limited was ₹83 / EURO and on 31st March, 2024 was ₹84 / EURO. The entire goods
purchased from Mark Limited are unsold as on 31st March, 2024. Determine the unrealised profit to be eliminated in the preparation
of consolidated financial statements.
Solution: (i) Para 47 of Ind AS 21 requires that goodwill arose on business combination shall be expressed in the functional currency of the
foreign operation and shall be translated atthe closing rate in accordance with paragraphs 39 and 42. In this case the amount of goodwill will
be as follows:
Net identifiable asset Dr. 23 million
Goodwill (bal. fig.) Dr. 1.4 million
To Bank 17.5 million
To NCI (23 x 30%) 6.9 million
Thus, goodwill on reporting date would be 1.4 million EURO x ₹ 84 =₹117.6 million
(ii)
Particulars EURO in million
Sale price of Inventory 4.20
Unrealised Profit [a] 1.80
Exchange rate as on date of purchase of Inventory [b] ₹83 / Euro Unrealized profit to be eliminated [a x b] ₹149.40 million. As per para 39 of Ind
AS 21 “income and expenses for each statement of profit and loss presented (ie including comparatives) shall be translated at exchange rates at
the datesof the transactions”. In the given case, purchase of inventory is an expense item shown in the statementprofit and loss account.
Hence, the exchange rate on the date of purchase of inventoryis taken for calculation of unrealized profit which is to be eliminated on the event
of consolidation.
An entity is not required to apply the Standard to borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,construction or production
of:
(a) a qualifying asset measured at fair value, for example, a biological asset; or
(b) inventories that are manufactured, or otherwise produced, in large quantities on a repetitive basis.
Question 1. A company deals in production of dairy products. It prepares and sells various milk products like ghee, butter and
cheese. The company borrowed funds from bank for manufacturing operation. The cheese takes substantial longer period to get
ready for sale.
State whether borrowing costs incurred to finance the production of inventories (cheese) that have a long production period, be
capitalised?
Answer: Ind AS 23 does not require the capitalisation of borrowing costs for inventories that are manufactured in large quantities on
a repetitive basis. Since cheese are produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis, interest capitalisation is not permitted.
Key definitions:
1. Meaning of borrowing costs: - Borrowing costs are interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the
borrowing of funds. Borrowing costs may include:
(a) Interest expense calculated using the effective interest method as described in Ind AS 39 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement;
(b) Finance charges in respect of finance leases recognised in accordance with Leases; and
(c) Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment
to interest costs.
2. Qualifying assets: A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its
intended use or sale. Example of qualifying assets are manufacturing plants, real estate, infrastructure assets such as bridges
and railways, intangible assets, investment properties, bearer plants, inventories etc.
• Assets that are ready for their intended use or sale when acquired are not qualifying assets.
Substantial period of time - Ind AS-23 does not provide any guidance on what constitutes a ‘substantial period of time’. The
specific facts and circumstances should be considered in each case. It is likely that a period of 12 months or more might be
considered ‘substantial’.
Treatment of borrowing costs: - Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset form part of the cost of that asset. Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense.
Following approach is to be followed for determining the extent to which the exchange difference should be treated as borrowing costs:
(i) The adjustment should be of an amount which is equivalent to the extent to which the exchange loss does not exceed the difference between the
cost of borrowing in functional currency when compared to the cost of borrowing in a foreign currency.
Question 2. An entity can borrow funds in its functional currency (₹) @ 12%p.a. It borrows $1,000 @ 4% p.a on 1st April, 2021 when $1
= ₹40 from a foreign bank for construction of its plant in India. The equivalent amount in functional currency is ₹40,000. Interest is payable on
31st March, 2022. On 31st March, 2022, exchange rate is $1 = ₹50. The loan is not due for repayment. Explain the treatment of foreign exchange loss/
gain as per Ind AS-23.
Solution: The borrowing cost i.e., interest on loan is ₹2,000 ($ 1,000 x 4% x ₹50). It will be capitalised and added to the cost of plant.
The exchange loss on 31st March 2022, in this case is ₹10,000 [$1,000x (₹50- ₹40)].
Had the entity borrowed funds in functional currency, the borrowing cost would have been ₹4,800 (₹40,000 x 12%).
The entity will treat exchange difference upto ₹2,800 (₹4,800 – ₹2,000) as a borrowing cost that will be eligible for capitalisation under this
Standard and remaining exchange loss (i.e., 10,000 – 2,800) will be debited to profit and loss account.
Question 3. Assume in previous question number 2, the exchange rate on 31 st March 2022 is $ 1= ₹41
(ii) where there is an unrealised exchange loss which is treated as an adjustment to interest and subsequently there is a
realised or unrealised gain in respect of the settlement or translation of the same borrowing, the gain to the extent of the
loss previously recognised as an adjustment should also be recognised as an adjustment to interest.”
Question 4. Assume in question 2, exchange rate on 31-3-2023 is $1=₹48; Explain the further treatment of foreign exchange loss as on
31st March 2023.
Question 5. Assume in question 2, exchange rate on 31-3-2023 is $1=₹44; Explain the further treatment of foreign exchange loss as on
31st March 2023.
Question 6. Assume in question 2, exchange rate on 31-3-2023 is $1=₹44 and $600 of the borrowings was paid on 31st March, 2022;
Explain the further treatment of foreign exchange loss as on 31st March 2023.
Solution: If the exchange rate on 31st March, 2023, is $1 = ₹44 and part of loan is repaid; the exchange rate on 31st M a r c h , 2022, being
$1 =₹50; $600 of the borrowings was paid on 31st March, 2022, $ 400 of the borrowings are still not due for payment. The entity will
recognise a borrowing cost of ₹704 ($ 400 x 4% x ₹44). There is an exchange gain of ₹2400 [$ 400 x (₹50 – ₹44)]. The unrealised exchange loss of
earlier year is ₹4,000 [$ 400 x (₹50 – ₹40)] out of which ₹1,120 (₹2,800 x $ 400 / $ 1000) was charged in 31st March, 2021, as borrowing cost. Thus,
there will be an adjustment in the borrowing cost up to ₹1,120 as this is unrealised exchange loss.
Question 7. COC Ltd can borrow funds in its functional currency (₹) @ 15%p.a. It borrows $2,000 @ 10% p.a on 1st April, 2022 when
$1 = ₹80 from a foreign bank for construction of its plant in India. Interest is payable on 31st March every year. On 31st March, 2023, exchange rate is
$1 = ₹90. On 1st April 2023, entity repaid $1,500. On 31-3-2024 the exchange rate is $1=₹83. Explain the treatment of foreign exchange loss/ gain as per
Ind AS-23 by making journal entries.
Question 8(H/W). ABC Ltd. has taken a loan of USD 20,000 on 1 st April, 2023 for constructing a plant at an interest rate of 5% per annum
payable on annual basis.
On 1st April, 2023, the exchange rate between the currencies i.e., USD vs Rupees was ₹45 per USD. The exchange rate on the reporting date i.e.,
31st March, 2024 is (₹48 per USD).
The corresponding amount could have been borrowed by ABC Ltd from State bank of India in local currency at an interest rate of 11% per annum
as on 1st April, 2023.
Compute the borrowing cost to be capitalized for the construction of plant by ABC Ltd. for the period ending 31st March,2024.
Solution: In the above situation, the borrowing cost needs to determine for interest cost on such foreign currency loan and eligible
exchange loss difference if any.
(a) Interest on foreign currency loan for the period:USD 20,000 x 5% = USD 1,000
Converted in ₹: USD 1,000 x ₹48/USD = ₹ 48,000
Increase in liability due to change in exchange difference: USD 20,000 x (48 - 45) = ₹60,000
(b) Interest that would have resulted if the loan was taken in Indian Currency:
USD 20,000 x ₹45/USD x 11% = ₹ 99,000
(c) Difference between interest on foreign currency borrowing and local currency borrowing:
₹99,000 - 48,000 = ₹51,000
Hence, out of exchange loss of ₹60,000 on principal amount of foreign currency loan, only exchange loss to the extent of ₹51,000 is considered as
borrowing costs.
Total borrowing cost to be capitalized is as under:
(a) Interest cost on borrowing ₹ 48,000
(b) Exchange difference to the extent considered to be
an adjustment to Interest cost ₹ 51,000
₹ 99,000
The exchange difference of ₹51,000 has been capitalized as borrowing cost and the remaining ₹9,000 will be expensed off in the
Statement of Profit and loss.
Recognition criteria: Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalised as part of the cost of the qualifying asset. Such borrowing cost are capitalised when below two conditions are satisfied:
- it is probable that it will result in future economic benefits to the entity; and
- the costs can be measured reliably.
Other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
Note 1: A ‘notional’ borrowing cost cannot be capitalised. Ind AS 23 limits the amount that can be capitalised to the actual borrowing costs incurred.
Note 2: The standard does not address actual or imputed cost of equity. Where an entity has no borrowings and uses its own cash resources to
finance the construction of property, plant and equipment, the entity cannot assume that interest that could have been earned on that cash represents
forgone benefit and could be capitalised.
Note 3: In determining the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation during a period, any investment income earned on such funds
is deducted from the borrowing costs incurred.
Question 9: Alpha Ltd. on 1st April, 2023 borrowed 9% ₹30,00,000 to finance the construction of two qualifying assets. Construction started on 1st
April, 2023. The loan facility was availed on 1st April, 2023 and was utilized as follows with remaining funds invested temporarily at 7%.

st
14% debenture was issued to fund the construction of Office building on 1 July, 2023 but the development activities has yet to be started.
On 1st April, 2023, Beta ltd began the construction of a Plant being qualifying asset using the existing borrowings. Expenditure drawn down
for the construction was: ₹500,000 on 1st April, 2023 and ₹25,00,000 on 1st January, 2024. Calculate the borrowing cost that can be
capitalised for the plant.
Period of capitalisation:
An entity is required to begin the capitalisation of borrowing costs as part of the cost of aqualifying asset on the
commencement date.
The commencement date is the date when the entity first meets all of the following conditions cumulatively on a particular date:
(a) it incurs expenditures for the asset;
(b) it incurs borrowing costs; and
(c) it undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
Question 11. X Ltd is commencing a new construction project, which is to be financed by borrowing. The keydates are as follows:
(i) 15th May ,2023: Loan interest relating to the project starts to be incurred.
(ii) 2nd June,2023: Technical site planning commences.
(iii) 19th June,2023: Expenditure on the project started to be incurred.
(iv) 18th July,2023: Construction work commences
Identify commencement date.
Solution: In the above case, the three conditions to be tested for commencement date would be: Borrowing cost has been incurred on:
15th May, 2023
Expenditure has been incurred for the asset on: 19th J u n e , 2023
Activities necessary to prepare asset for its intended use or sale: 2nd June, 2023
Commencement date would be the date when the above three conditions would be satisfied in all i.e., 19th June, 2023
Suspension of capitalisation:
Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during the extended periods in which the active development of a qualifying asset is suspended.
Such costs are costs of holding partially completed assets and do not qualify for capitalisation.
Capitalisation of borrowing cost is not suspended when temporary delay is a necessary part of the process of getting an asset ready for its
intended use or sale.
For example, capitalisation continues during the extended period when high water levels delay construction of a bridge, if such high-water levels are
common during the construction period in the geographical region involved.
Cessation of capitalisation:
An entity shall cease capitalising borrowing costs when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying
asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
An asset is normally ready for its intended use or sale when the physical construction of the asset is complete even though routine administrative
work might still continue. If minor modifications, such as the decoration of a property to the purchaser’s or user’s specification, are all that are
outstanding, this indicates that substantially all the activities are complete.
When an entity completes the construction of a qualifying asset in parts and each part is capable of being used while
construction continues on other parts, the entity shall cease capitalising borrowing costs when it completes substantially all
the activities necessary to prepare that part for its intended useor sale.
Practice questions:
Question 12. Marine Transport Limited ordered 3 ships for its fleet on 1st April, 2022. It pays a down payment of 25% of the contract value of each of
the ship out of long term borrowings from a scheduled bank. The delivery has to commence from the financial year 2019. On 1st March, 2024, the
ship builder informs that it has commenced production of one ship. There is no progress on other 2 ships. Marine Transport Limited prepares its
financial statements on financial year basis. Is it permissible for Marine Transport Limited to capitalise any borrowing costs for the financial year
ended 31st March, 2023 or 31st March, 2024?
Solution: As per Ind AS 23, a qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use
or sale.
Ind AS 23 also states that an entity shall begin capitalising borrowing costs as part of the cost of a qualifying asset on the commencement date. The
commencement date for capitalisation is the date when the entity first meets all of the following conditions:
(a) It incurs expenditures for the asset.
(b) It incurs borrowing costs.
(c) It undertakes activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
The ship is a qualifying asset as it takes substantial period of time for its construction. Thus, the related borrowing costs should be capitalised.
Marine Transport Limited borrows funds and incurs expenditures in the form of down payment on 1st April, 2022. Thus condition (a) and (b) are met.
However, condition (c) is met only on 1st March, 2024, and that too only with respect to one ship. Thus, there is no capitalisation of borrowing costs
during the financial year ended 31 st March, 2023. Even during the financial year ended 31st March, 2024, borrowing costs relating to the ‘one’ ship
whose construction had commenced from 1st March, 2024 will be capitalised from 1st March, 2024 to 31st March, 2024. All other borrowing costs are
expensed.
Question 13(H/W). X Limited has a treasury department that arranges funds for all the requirements of the Company including funds for working
capital and expansion programs. During the year ended 31st March, 2024, the Company commenced the construction of a qualifying asset and incurred
the following expenses:

Question 14. COC Ltd. commences building an asset on 1-4-2021. For this purpose, it issues debentures on the same date
for ₹10,00,000 bearing an interest of 10%. During the year ending the company also raised general loans from financial
Institutions as per details below:
1.7.2021 Rs. 5,00,000 @12% per annum
1.10.2021 Rs. 3,00,000 @15% per annum
The company earned an interest of ₹15.000 on temporary investments made with funds borrowed specifically for the asset. You
are required to compute the amount of borrowing cost to be capitalised in relation to this asset.
Question 15. K Ltd. began construction of a new building at an estimated cost of ₹ 7 lakh on 1st April, 2023.To finance construction of the building it
obtained a specific loan of ₹ 2 lakh from a financial institution at an interest rate of 9% per annum.
The company’s other outstanding loans were:
Amount Rate of Interest per annum
₹ 7,00,000 12%
₹ 9,00,000 11%
The construction of building was completed by 31st January, 2024. Following the provisions of Ind AS 23 ‘Borrowing Costs’, calculate the amount of interest
to be capitalized and pass necessary journal entry for capitalizing the cost and borrowing cost in respect of the building as on 31st January, 2024.
Solution:
(ii) Computation of borrowing cost to be capitalized for specific borrowings and general borrowings based on weighted average accumulated
expenses:

Question 17: On April 1, 2024, MGH constructions undertook construction of a factory building for expansion purpose. Total
cost of project was ₹3,00,00,000. The building was completed by end of March 2025 and during the period following
payments were made:
How much borrowing cost should be capitalized for construction of the building as per AS-16 "Borrowing Cost"?
(CMA FINAL 8 Marks)
Answer: Capitalization % = 10.484% p.a
Question 18. On 1st April, 2023, entity A contracted for the construction of a building for ₹22,00,000. The land under the building is
regarded as a separate asset and is not part of the qualifying assets. The building was completed at the end of March, 2024, and during
the period the following payments were made to the contractor:
Entity A’s borrowings at its year end of 31st March, 2024 were as follows:
a. 10%, 4-year note with simple interest payable annually, which relates specifically to the project; debt outstanding on 31st
March, 2024 amounted to ₹7,00,000. Interest of ₹65,000 was incurred on these borrowings during the year, and interest
income of ₹20,000 was earned on these funds while they were held in anticipation of payments.
b. 12.5% 10-year note with simple interest payable annually; debt outstanding at 1st April, 2023 amounted to ₹10,00,000
and remained unchanged during the year; and
c. 10% 10-year note with simple interest payable annually; debt outstanding at 1st April, 2023 amounted to ₹15,00,000
and remained unchanged during the year.
What amount of the borrowing costs can be capitalized at year end as per relevant Ind AS ?
Solution: As per Ind AS 23, when an entity borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the entity should
determine the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation as the actual borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing during the
period less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings.
Capitalisation rate = (10,00,000 x 12.5%) + (15,00,000 x 10%) = 11%
10,00,000 + 15,00,000
Computation of interest on general borrowings:
Date Expenditure Amount allocated in Weighted for period Outstanding
general borrowings
1st April 2023 200,000 0 0
30th June 2023 600,000 100,000 1,00,000 × 9/12x 11% = 8,250
31st Dec 2023 12,00,000 12,00,000 12,00,000 × 3/12 x 11%= 33,000
31st March 2024 2,00,000 200.000 2,00,000 × 0/12 x 11%= 0
Total 22,00,000 41,250
*Specific borrowings of ₹7,00,000 fully utilized on 1st April & on 30th June to the extent of ₹5,00,000 hence remaining expenditure of
₹1,00,000 allocated to general borrowings.
Borrowing cost to be capitalized: Amount
(₹)
On specific loan 65,000
On General borrowing 41,250
Total 1,06,250
Less: interest income on specific borrowings (20,000)
Amount eligible for capitalization 86,250
Question 19(concept of effective rate of interest). How will you capitalise the interest when qualifying assets are funded by borrowings in
the nature of bonds that are issued at discount?
Y Ltd. issued at the start of year 1, 10% (interest paid annually and having maturity period of 4 years) bonds with a face value of ₹2,00,000 at
a discount of 10% to finance a qualifying asset which is ready for intended use at the end of year 2.
Compute the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized if the company amortizes discount using Effective Interest Rate method by applying
13.39% p.a. of EIR.
Solution: As per the Standard, borrowing costs may include interest expense calculated using the effective interest method. Further, capitalisation
of borrowing cost should cease where substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use or sale are
complete.
Thus, only that portion of the amortized discount should be capitalised as part of the cost of a qualifying asset which relates to the period during
which acquisition, construction or production of the asset takes place.
Hence based on the above explanation the amount of borrowing cost of year 1 & 2 are to be capitalised and the borrowing cost relating to year 3
& 4 should be expensed.
The value of the bond to Y Ltd. is the transaction price ie ₹1,80,000 (2,00,000 – 20,000) Therefore, Y Ltd will recognize the borrowing at ₹1,80,000.
Accordingly, borrowing cost of ₹48,753 will be capitalized to the cost of qualifying asset.
Question 20. Happy Ltd. has taken a loan of US $10 lakhs on 1st April, 2023, for a specific project at an interest rate of 10%
p.a., payable annually. On 1st April, 2023, the exchange rate between the currencies was ₹65 per US $. The exchange rate,
as at 31st March, 2024, is ₹68 per US $. The corresponding amount could have been borrowed by Happy Ltd. in local
currency at an interest rate of 15% p.a. as on 1st April, 2023. Show the treatment of borrowing costs as per Ind AS-23.
(ICMAI Study material)
Solution: The following computation would be made to determine the amount of borrowing costs for the purposes
of Ind AS-16.
(a) Interest for the period = US $10,00,000 x 10% x ₹68 per US $ = ₹68,00,000
(b) Increase in the liability towards the principal amount = US $ 10,00,000 x (68-65) = ₹30,00,000.
(c) Interest that would have resulted if the loan was taken in Indian currency = US $ 10,00,000 x 65 x 15% = ₹97,50,000
(d) Difference between interest on local currency borrowing and foreign currency borrowing = ₹ 97,50,000 – ₹68,00,000 =
₹29,50,000
Therefore, out of ₹30,00,000 increase in the liability towards principal amount, only ₹29,50,000 will be considered as the
borrowing cost. Thus, total borrowing cost would be ₹97,50,000 being the aggregate of interest of ₹68,00,000 on foreign currency
borrowings plus the exchange difference to the extent of difference between interest on local currency borrowing and interest
on foreign currency borrowing of ₹29,50,000. Thus, ₹97,50,000 would be considered as the borrowing cost to be accounted for
as per Ind AS-23 and the remaining ₹50,000 would be considered as the exchange difference to be accounted for as per Ind AS-
21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates”.
Question 21. On 30.4.2022 MNC Ltd. obtained a loan from the bank for ₹5 crores to be utilized as under:
(i) Construction of a factory shed ₹2 crores.
(ii) Purchase of Machinery ₹1.5 crores.
(iii) Working Capital ₹1 crores.
(iv) Advance for Purchase of truck ₹50 lakhs.
In March 2024, construction of shed was completed and machinery installed. Delivery of truck was not received. Total
interest charged by the bank for the year ended 31.3.17 was ₹90 lakhs. Show the treatment of interest as per Ind AS-
23.
Solution: As per Ind AS-23, borrowing cost (interest) should be capitalized if borrowing cost is directly attributable to the
acquisition, construction or production of qualifying asset. ₹5 crores borrowed from Bank was utilized for four different
purposes, only construction of factory shed is a qualifying asset as per Ind AS-23, while the other three payments are not for
the qualifying asset. Therefore, borrowing cost attributable to the construction of a factory shed should only be capitalized
which will be equal to ₹90 lakhs x 2/5 = ₹36 lakhs.
The balance of ₹54 lakhs (₹90 lakhs – ₹36 lakhs) should be treated as an expense and debited to Profit and Loss Account.
SCOPE: - Impairment of assets is recognized as per Ind AS 36 for assets including PPE, Intangible assets and goodwill
but excluding:
(a) Inventories
(b) Biological assets (Ind AS 41)
(c) Non-current assets classified as held for sale (Ind AS 105)
(d) Assets arising from construction contracts (Ind AS 11)
(e) Deferred tax assets
(f) Assets arising from employee benefits (Ind AS 19)
(g) Financial assets (Ind AS 109)
Important definitions:
1. Carrying amount is the amount at which an asset is recognised after deducting any accumulated depreciation (amortisation) and
accumulated impairment losses thereon.
2. Corporate assets are assets other than goodwill that contribute to the future cash flows ofboth the cash-generating unit under review
and other cash-generating units.
3. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date (refer Ind AS 113 Fair Value Measurement).
4. Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit
Question 1. X Ltd. purchased a machinery on 1.1.2016 for ₹ 20 lakhs. WDV of the machine as on 31.3.23 ₹ 12 lakhs.
The Recoverable amount of the machine is ₹ 11 lakhs. What is the impairment loss?
Question 2. Carrying amount ₹ 200 lakhs. Net Selling Price (Fair value less cost of sell) ₹ 210 lakhs. Value in use ₹ 220 lakhs. What
is the impairment loss?
Solution: Carrying amount ₹ 200 lakhs
Recoverable amount ₹ 220 lakhs (being the higher of NSP and value in use)
Since, recoverable amount is more than carrying amount of asset, there will arise no impairment loss.
Question 3. C Ltd. acquired a machine for ₹ 3.2 crores on 1.1.2023. It has a life of 5 years with a salvage value of ₹ 40
lakhs. Apply the test of impairment on 31.3.2026:
(a) Present value of future cash flow ₹ 1.3 crores
(b) Fair value less cost to sell ₹ 1.2 crores
Answer: Carrying amount 1.38 crores; Impairment loss 0.08 crores.
Question 4. Carrying amount of Machinery and provision for depreciation and revaluation reserve appeared in the balance sheet
as on 31 march 2024 are ₹8,00,000, ₹1,50,000 and ₹40,000 respectively. On 31.3.2024, Fair value less cost of sell and value in use
were estimated at ₹5,40,000 and 5,10,000 respectively. Show its treatment in the books of account as per Ind AS-36.
QUESTION 5. A Ltd. Has a machine whose original cost was ₹45,000. The accumulated depreciation on the machine is ₹15,000.
Similar machine has recently been sold in the same locality at ₹25,000 with selling expenses ₹2,000. Management determined
the entity specific present value of future cash flows of the machine as ₹28,000. Find
(c) Impairment loss is the carrying amount before impairment less the recoverable amount = ₹ (45,000 – 15,000) –
₹28,000 = ₹2,000
(d) Carrying and after impairment = ₹30,000 – ₹2,000 = ₹28,000 (equal to recoverable amt.)
Note- If the machine were revalued and there remains any revaluation profit accumulated balance as OCI under other equity,
that should be used first and then profit and loss a/c will be used to close the impairment loss a/c.
Question 6. Mars Ltd. gives the following estimates of cash flows relating to property, plant and equipment on 31st March, 2024.
The discount rate is 15%.
Calculate impairment loss, if any on the PPE. Also calculate the revised carrying amount and revised
depreciation on PPE.
Solution: carrying amount on 31st March 2024 – ₹12,687: value in use ₹9,513; recoverable amount ₹10,000;
impairment loss ₹2,687; revised carrying amount ₹10,000; revised depreciation/year ₹1,900.
2. The recoverable amount of an asset or a Cash Generating Unit (CGU) is measured whenever there is an indication that the
asset may be impaired.
Following are indications that an asset any be impaired: -
b) External Sources of Indications: -
i. If market value has declined significantly.
ii. Significant technological change (production of Typewriter, mobile phone without touch button) or change in
iii. market (company moving from an existing market), economic or legal environment in which enterprise operates.
iv. Market interest rate on investments have significantly increased. (running factory of power generation project with
foreign loan and increase in interest expense).
3. At each reporting date an entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset or CGU may be impaired.
4. Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, an entity is required to test following items for impairment at least
annually:
a) intangible asset with an indefinite useful life;
Then to all other assets of the unit in pro-rata basis on the carrying amount of the assets of the unit. Thusimpairment loss is
always shown as deduction from individual assets even when it is measured on the CGU.
8. In case of assets of a CGU, for allocation of the impairment loss the revised carrying amount of the assetsshould not
be reduced below the highest of the following:
(i) Its net selling prices
(ii) Its value in use
(iii) zero
If the allocation of impairment loss cannot be made fully, the unallocated part shall again be re- allocated to other assets pro-
rata.
9. Reversal of impairment loss: If the recoverable amount subsequently increases, the previously recognizedimpairment loss
shall be reversed not exceeding the carrying amount without any impairment.
An impairment loss recognised for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.
In case of reversal of impairment loss of CGU, first, assets other than goodwill shall be written up on pro-rata on carrying
amount and then, goodwill will be written up.
Question 7. An entity has the following assets with relevant data on the reporting data: (₹ in Lakhs)
Assets Carrying amount Fair value less cost to sell Value in use
A 280 300 250
B 460 400 390
C 220 200 170
D 180 115 125
E 100 80 —
Assets C and D were revalued before. The carrying amounts of revaluation surplus are ₹40 Lakhs and ₹30 Lakhsrespectively.
Asset E falls in the cash generating unit consisting of goodwill ₹50 Lakhs and intangible asset ₹90 lacs. Thefair value less cost
to sell of the CGU is ₹180 Lakhs and value-in-use is ₹170 Lakhs.
Determine impairment loss and revised carrying amount of all the assets stated above. Show the accounting treatment.
(ICMAI Study material)
Question 8. An entity has a machinery on 01.04.2023 with carrying amount of ₹28,00,000 after annual depreciation of
₹3,00,000 with remaining useful life of 9 years and residual value of ₹1,00,000. Depreciation is charged on straight line method.
In 31.03.2024 the machine is revalued at ₹29,00,000. On 31.03.2026 the machine has fair value less cost to sell ₹20,00,000 and
value in use ₹21,00,000. Show how the transactions would be reflected in the financial statements of the entity as on 31.03.24,
31.03.25, 31.03.26 and 31.03.27. (ICMAI Study material)
Question 7. Saturn India Ltd is reviewing one of its business segments for impairment. The carrying value of its net assets is 40 million.
Management has produced two computations for the value-in-use of the business segment. The first value of ₹36 million excludes the benefit to
be derived from a future reorganization, but the second value of ₹44 million includes the benefits to be derived from the future reorganization.
There is not an active market for the sale of the business segments. Whether the business segment needs to be Impaired?
Solution: The benefit of the future reorganization should not be taken into account in calculating value-in-use. Therefore, the net assets of the business
segment will be impaired by ₹4 million because the value- in-use of ₹36 million is lower than the carrying value of ₹40 million. The value-in-use can be
used as the recoverable amount as there is no active market for the sale of the business segment.
Question 8. Mercury Ltd. has an identifiable asset with a carrying amount of ₹1,000. Its recoverable amount is ₹650. The tax rate is 30% and the
tax base of the asset is ₹800. Impairment losses are not deductible for tax purposes. What would be the impact of impairment loss on related deferred
tax asset / liability against the revised carrying amount of asset?
Question 9. Earth Infra Ltd has two cash-generating units, A and B. There is no goodwill within the units’ carrying values. The carrying
values of the CGUs are CGU A for ₹20 million and CGU B for ₹30 million. The company has an office building which it is using as an
office headquarter and has not been included in the above values and can be allocated to the units on the basis of their carrying values. The office
building has a carrying value of ₹10 million. The recoverable amounts are based on value-in-use of ₹18 million for CGU A and ₹38 million
for CGU B. Determine whether the carrying values of CGU A and B are impaired. (ICAI Study material)
Solution: The office building is a corporate asset which needs to be allocated to CGU A and B on areasonable and consistent
basis:
A B Total
Carrying value of CGU 20 30 50
Allocation of office building in the ratio of 4 6 10
carrying value of CGU
Carrying value of CGU after allocation of 24 36 60
corporate asset
Recoverable amount 18 38 56
Impairment loss 6 nil
Impairment loss will be allocated on the basis of 4/24 against the building (₹1 million) and 20/24 against the other assets (₹5 milloin)
Objective: This Standard requires an entity to recognise an intangible asset if, and only if, specified criteria are met. This standard specifies the
requirement of recognition, measurement and disclosures of Intangible Assets.
Meaning: - An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance.
Note 1. Meaning of Identifiable-- separable and transferable individually or arises from a contract.
Note 3: Controlled by an entity means power to obtain those benefits and ability to restrict others to access those benefits.
Example of Intangible asset: trade mark, patents, copyrights, customer lists, franchises, computer software, technical know-
how, licences, goodwill, masthead etc.
Scope:- It excludes:
(i) Financial assets.
(ii) The recognition and measurement of exploration f o r and evaluation o f M i n e r a l resources (Ind AS 106),
(iii) Expenditure on the development and extraction of minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources; and
(iv) intangible assets that are within scope of another standard — for example.
(a) Ind AS 2: Inventory
(b) Ind AS 12: Income Taxes
(c) Ind AS 116: Leases
(d) Ind AS 19: Employee Benefits
(e) Financial assets (Ind AS 32, Ind AS 107, Ind AS 109)
(f) Ind As 103: Business combination
(g) Ind AS 104: Insurance contracts
(h) Ind AS 105: Non-current Assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
(i) Ind As 115: Revenue from contracts with customers.
Intangible assets contained in or on a physical substance: Some intangible assets may be contained in or on a physical substance such as a
compact disc (in the case of computer software), legal documentation (in the case of a licence or patent) or film. In determining whether an
asset that incorporates both tangible and intangible elements should be treated under Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, or as
an intangible asset under this Standard, an entity uses judgement to assess which element is more significant.
For example, computer software for a computer-controlled machine tool that cannot operate without that specific software is an
integral part of the related hardware and it is treated as property, plant and equipment. The same applies to the operating system of
a computer. When the software is not an integral part of the related hardware, computer software is treated as an intangible asset.
Recognition criteria:
An intangible asset is initially recognized at cost if all of the following criteria are met:
(a) The asset is identifiable and controlled by the entity,
(b) Future economic benefits will flow to the entity,
(c) Cost can be measured reliably.
Cost includes any directly attributable cost necessary to bring intangible asset to the condition intended by the management.
Computation of cost of Intangible asset purchased or internally generated (called constructed in case
of PPE):
Purchase price xxxx
Less: trade discount/rebate
Add: any import duty, purchase taxes (e.g. excise tax, GST only if non-refundable)
Add: legal charges
Add: professional/ consultant/advisor fees.
Add: customization cost/charges (generally in case of software)
Add: testing/trial run cost
Add: employment costs (e.g. salary /charges paid for software coding etc)
Add: any other development phase expense. (in case of internally generated intangible asset)
Add: any other directly attributable cost
Expenses incurred during development phase are capitalized and hence recognized as cost of intangible asset.
Note 1: Internally generated goodwill, brands, mastheads, publishing titles, customer lists and similar items are not recognized
as intangible assets since their cost cannot be measured accurately. They all are expensed.
Note 2. Internally generated intangible assets may not be shown by the company in its book of account if recognition criteria are not
met. But in case of business combination, acquirer company may show in his books such internally generated assets at Fair value if
recognition criteria are met.
Note 3: If research project (expenses on research phase) is acquired in a business combination, then it is recognized as intangible asset
at fair value.
Subsequent measurement – exactly same as we have already studied in Ind AS 16- PPE.
Cost model: - The intangible asset will be carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses.
Revaluation model: - Intangible asset may be carried at a revalued amount (fair value). And subsequently carried at revalued
amount less post revaluation amortization and impairment losses.
However, revaluation can be made only if there exists an active market for the asset.
Treatment of Gain or loss on sale of intangible assets: recorded in profit & loss account.
Question 1. After acquiring control of the subsidiary company, the draft of consolidated balance sheet of parent included
thefollowing intangible assets which did not appear in the draft individual balance sheet of the subsidiary:
(i) Customers list
(ii) Publishing titles
One view is that as the items were not recognized by the subsidiary company it should not be recognized by the parent
also. Do you agree to this view?
Solution: The intangible assets may be internally generated (or not fulfill up the conditions of being recognized as intangible
asset) and hence they were not recognized as intangible asset by the subsidiary company.
But under Ind AS 103 such intangible assets are identifiable and arising based on contractual right and recognizedat fair value
in the consolidated balance sheet of parent.
Question 2. Venus India Private Ltd acquired a software for its internal use costing ₹10,00,000. The amount payable for the software was
₹600,000 immediately and ₹400,000 in one year time. The other expenditure incurred were: -
Purchase tax: ₹1,00,000
Cost of capital of the company is 10%. Calculate the cost of the software on initial recognition using the principles of Ind AS 38 Intangible
Assets.
Solution:
Particulars Amount in ₹
Cash paid 600,000
Deferred consideration (₹400,000/1.1) 3,63,636
Purchase Tax 1,00,000
Entry tax (not to be considered as it is a refundable tax) -
Legal fees 87,000
Consultancy fees for implementation 1,20,000
Total cost to be capitalised 12,70,636
Question 3. On 31st March,2024, Earth India Ltd. paid ₹50,00,000 for a 100% interest in Sun India Ltd. At that date Sun Ltd.’s net assets had a
fair value of ₹30,00,000. In addition, Sun Ltd. also held the following rights:
• Trade Mark named “GRAND” – valued at ₹180,000 using a discounted cash flow technique.
• Sole distribution rights to an electronic product; future cash flows from which are estimated to be ₹150,000 per annum for the next 6
years. 10% is considered an appropriate discount rate.The 6-year, 10% annuity factor is 4.36.
Calculate goodwill and other Intangible assets arising on acquisition.
Solution:
Particulars Amount Amount
Purchase Consideration 50,00,000
Net Asset acquired 30,00,000
Trade Mark 1,80,000
Distribution Rights (1,50,000 x 4.36) 6,54,000
Total (38,34,000)
Goodwill on Acquisition 11,66,000
Question 5.
1. Saturn Ltd. acquired an intangible asset on 31 st March, 2022 for ₹1,00,000. The asset was revalued at ₹1,20,000 on 31st March, 2023 and
₹85,000 on 31st March, 2024.
2. Jupiter Ltd. acquired an intangible asset on 31 st March, 2022 for ₹1,00,000. The asset was revalued at ₹ 85,000 on 31st March, 2023 and
at ₹1,05,000 on 31st March, 2024.
Assuming that the year-end for both companies is 31st March, and that they both use the revaluation model, show how each of these transactions
should be dealt with in the financial statements. Explain the treatment for revaluation of intangible asset. Ignore computation of amortization on
them.
Solution:
Saturn Ltd.: -On 31st March, 2023, ₹20,000 revaluation increase should be credited to the revaluation reserve and recognised in other
comprehensive income (OCI). On 31st March, 2024, ₹20,000 of the revaluation decrease should be debited to revaluation reserve
and remaining ₹15,000 should be recognised as an expense.
Jupiter Ltd.: - On 31st March, 2023, ₹15,000 revaluation decrease should be recognised as an expense in the Statement of Profit and loss. On 31st
March, 2024, ₹15,000 out of the ₹20,000 increase should be recognised as income. The remaining ₹5,000 should be credited to revaluation reserve
and recognised in other comprehensive income (OCI).
Question 6. X Limited engaged in the business of manufacturing fertilisers entered into a technical collaboration agreement with a foreign company Y
Limited. As a result, Y Limited would provide the technical know-how enabling X Limited to manufacture fertiliser in a more efficient way. X
Limited paid ₹10,00,00,000 for the use of know-how for a period of 5 years. X Limited estimates the production of fertiliser as follows:
At the end of the 1st year, it achieved its targeted production. At the end of 2nd year, 65,000 metric tons of fertiliser was being manufactured,
and X Limited considered to revise the estimates for the next 3 years. The revised figures are 85,000, 1,05,000 and 1,15,000 metric tons for year
3, 4 & 5 respectively.
How will X Limited amortise the technical know-how fees as per Ind AS 38?
Question 7. X Ltd. purchased a patent right on 1 st April, 2022, for ₹3,00,000; which has a legal life of 15 years. However, due to the competitive
nature of the product, the management estimates a useful life of only 5 years. Straight-line amortisation is determined by the management to
be the best method. As at 1st April, 2023, management is uncertain that the process can actually be made economically feasible, and decides to write
down the patent to an estimated market value of ₹1,50,000 and decides to amortise over 2 years. As at 1st April, 2024, having perfected the
related production process, the asset is now appraised at a value of ₹3,00,000. Furthermore, the estimated useful life is now believed to be
4 more years. Determine the value of intangible asset at the end of each financial year?
Solution:
Question 8. X Pharmaceutical Ltd. seeks your opinion in respect of following accounting transactions:
1. Acquired a 4-year license to manufacture a specialised drug at a cost of ₹1,00,00,000 at the start of the year. Production commenced
immediately.
2. Also purchased another company at the start of year. As part of that acquisition, X Pharmacy Ltd. acquired a brand with a fair value of
₹3,00,00,000 based on sales revenue. The life of the brand is estimated at 15 years.
3. Spent ₹1,00,00,000 on an advertising campaign during the first six months. Subsequent sales have shown a significant improvement and it is
expected this will continue for 3 years.
4. It has commenced developing a new drug ‘Drug-A’. The project cost would be ₹10,00,00,000. Clinical trial proved successful and such drug is
expected to generate revenue over the next 5 years.
Cost incurred (accumulated) till 31st March, 2023 is ₹5,00,00,000.
Balance cost incurred during the financial year 2023-2024 is ₹5,00,00,000.
5. It has also commenced developing another drug ‘Drug B’. It has incurred ₹50,00,000 towards research expenses till 31st March, 2024. The
technological feasibility has not yet been established.
How the above transactions will be accounted for in the books of account of X Pharmaceutical Ltd?
6.1 INTRODUCTION: - In recent times, different types of share plans and share option plans have become a common
feature of remuneration packages for senior executives, directors and other employees in many countries. Moreover,
Shares and share options may also be used to pay suppliers for providing professional services. All these modes of
payment are known as Share-based Payment.
Share based payments cover all forms of share-based payment for the goods as-well-as for the services supplied to the
reporting entity, including:
6.2 SHARE BASED PAYMENT: - A share-based payment is a transaction in which the entity receives goods or services
either as consideration for its equity instruments or by incurring liabilities for amounts based on the price of the entity’s
shares or other equity instruments of the entity.
Employee share-based payments are incentive payments to employees in form of shares. The expression employee
share-based payments also include cash incentives to employees, the size of which is linked with value of shares. The
payment in form of shares generally involve grant of options to employees to subscribe shares of employer’s enterprise
at a concessional price, called the exercise price.
The employees gain the excess of market price of share at the time of exercise over the specified exercise price. In case
of employee share-based payments in form of cash incentive, the excess of market price on specified future date and a
stated price is paid in cash. In either case, the value of incentive depends on increase in share value, which is the generally
accepted indicator of financial success of a business. By linking incentives with value of shares, the employee share-based
payment plans effectively integrate personal goals of employees with that of the enterprise.
The value of share-based payment depends on the market value of shares on vesting date/exercise date and hence cannot
be known with certainty before these dates. Nevertheless, since the share-based payments are payments for services
rendered by employees during the vesting period, the value of share-based payments should be recognised as expense
during the vesting period, i.e., before value of such payments are known with certainty.
Two principal issues involved in accounting for employee share-based payments are:
(i) Problem of valuation of share-based payments before vesting date; and
(ii) Problem of allocation of the estimated value of share-based payment to a particular accounting period during the
vesting period for recognition as expense.
Note: This Ind AS 102 will not be applicable for payment made under Ind AS 103.
EMPLOYEE SHARE BASED PAYMENT PLANS: It is an agreement between an entity and an employee which entitles the
other party to receive:
• Equity instruments (including shares or share options) of the entity (or another group entity); or
• Cash (or other assets) for amounts based on the price (or value) of equity instruments of the entity, provided
specified vesting conditions are met.
(ii) Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP): Under Employees’ Stock Purchase Plans (ESPP), employees are given an option
to subscribe to shares of employer in a public issue or otherwise. The exercise price is set at a specified rate of discount
on the issue price/ market price on the date of exercise.
(iii) Stock Appreciation Rights (SAR): These are the rights that entitle the employees to receive cash or shares for an
amount equivalent to the excess of market price on exercise date over a stated price.
➢ The entity shall measure the goods or services acquired and the liability incurred at the fair value of the liability
at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognised in
profit and loss for the period.
➢ There could be vesting conditions attached to the share-based payment plans e.g. to remain in service for 3 years
etc. The recognition of such share-based payment plan should be done by recognising fair value of the liability
at the time of goods/services received and not at the date of grant. The liability so recognised will be fair value
at each reporting date and difference in fair value will be charged to profit & loss for the period.
➢ There could be cases where no vesting period/condition is required to be fulfilled. In those cases, cash settled
share-based payment can be recognised in full at initial recognition itself.
The entity shall recognise a corresponding increase in equity if the goods or services were received in an equity-settled
share-based payment transaction or a liability if the goods or services were acquired in a cash-settled share-based
payment transaction.
Further, when the goods or services received or acquired in a share-based payment transaction do not qualify for
recognition as assets, they shall be recognised as expenses.
DISCLOSURE: - The entity is required to disclose information that enables users of the Financial Statements to understand
the nature and extent of share-based payment arrangements that existed during the period. An entity shall disclose at
least the following:
(a) A description of each type of share-based payment arrangement that existed at any time during the period, including
the general terms and conditions of each arrangement,
(b) The number and weighted average exercise prices of share options for each of the following groups of options:
• outstanding at the beginning of the period
• granted during the period
• forfeited during the period
• exercised during the period
• expired during the period
• outstanding at the end of the period
• exercisable at the end of the period
(c) For share options exercised during the period, the weighted average share price at the date of exercise. For share
options outstanding at the end of the period, the range of exercise prices and weighted average remaining contractual
life.
(d) An entity shall disclose information that enables users of the financial statements to understand how the FV of the
goods or services received or the FV of the equity instruments granted, during the period was determined.
Important terms:
• The day a share-based payment plan is announced and accepted by employees is called the grant date
• The day, when the employees become entitled to such payments, is called the vesting date.
• The period between these two dates is called the vesting period. To qualify for the incentives, the employees
put in their efforts during the vesting period to fulfil specified vesting conditions, e.g. reaching a specified
sales/profit target.
• Exercise date is the date when an option is exercised by paying the exercise price.
• Vesting conditions are the conditions that determine whether the entity receives the services that entitle the
counterparty to receive cash, other assets or equity instruments of the entity under a share-based payment
arrangement.
The vesting condition may be a service condition or a performance condition:
Based on different types of vesting conditions, share based payment transactions with employees are divided into four
categories:
Whether vesting condition requires only specified period of service?
YES NO
It is service condition (A) It is performance condition (B)
QUESTION 1: On 1st April 2023, Tata Ltd announced 30,000 ESOPS to its employees at an exercise price of ₹4 per share.
Vesting period 3 years.
Market price/Fair value per share on 1st April 2023 ₹30 (Face value ₹10).
Market price/Fair value per share on 31st March 2024 ₹35
Market price/Fair value per share on 31st March 2025 ₹38
Market price/Fair value per share on 31st March 2026 ₹27
Make entries for three years if all employees exercised the options.
QUESTION 2. A company has its share capital divided into shares of Rs 10 each. On 1st April 2019, it granted 10,000
employees’ stock options at ₹40, when the market price was ₹130. The options were to be exercised between 15th March
2020 and 31st March 2020. The employees exercised their options for 9500 shares only. The remaining options lapsed. The
company closes its books on 31st March every year. Show journal entries.
Solution: Fair value of option = 90; Total loss due to ESOP to company = 9,500 X 90 = ₹8,55,000
QUESTION 3. On 1st April 2023, A Ltd offered to its employees 5000 options at ₹15 each to be vested after 24 months. Fair
value (market value) on that date was ₹60 per share. 1000 options were withdrawn on 30 November 2023. Again, on 31st
December 2024, 500 options were withdrawn.
Remaining options were exercised on 31st march 2025.
QUESTION 4. X Ltd offered 15,000 ESOPs to its employees on 1st April ,2023 exercisable on 31st march 2026. On 1st Jan
2024, 1000 options were withdrawn from employees. On 31st march 2025, 8000 options were cancelled due to resignation
of employees. Rest of the options were availed by employees on due date. Market price on 1-4-2023 for equity shares of
the company is ₹40(face value). However, market price on 31st march 2026 is ₹80 per share. Journalize entries and

QUESTION 6. Z Ltd. grants 100 share options to each of its 400 employee’s conditionals on their continuing in service for 3
years. Fair value of share option on the grant date is ₹30. On the basis of a weighted average probability, the entity
estimates that 20 per cent of employees will leave during the three-year period and therefore forfeit their rights to the
share options.
During year 1, 18 employees leave. The entity revises its estimate of total employee departures over the three-year period
from 20 per cent to 16 per cent. During year 2, a further 20 employees leave. The entity revises its estimate of total employee
departures over the three-year period from 16 per cent to 13%. During year 3, a further 14 employees leave. Calculate amount
of remuneration expense for each year.

QUESTION 7. (Concept of Grant with a performance condition, in which the length of the vesting period varies) At the
beginning of year 1, X Ltd. grants 200 shares each to 400 employees, conditional upon the employees’ remaining in
employment with the company during the vesting period. The shares will vest at the end of year 1 if the entity’s earnings
increase by more than 15%; at the end of year 2 if the entity’s earnings increase by more than an average of 12% per year over
the two-year period; and at the end of year 3 if the entity’s earnings increase by more than an average of 10% per year over
the three-year period. The shares have a fair value of ₹40 per share at the start of year 1. No dividends need be considered.
By the end of year 1, the entity’s earnings have increased by 13%, and 32 employees left. The entity expects further 30
employees to leave during year 2. By the end of year 2, the entity’s earnings have increased by only 11% and 27 employees
left during the year. The entity expects a further 25 employees to leave during year 3. By the end of year 3, 22 employees left
and the company’s earnings increased by 9%, resulting in an average increase over 10% per year. Make journal entries for
three years.
Answer:
Fair value of share on the date of announcement of ESOP = 40
Less: exercise price of share = 0
Fair value of option = 40
QUESTION 8. (Concept of Grant with a performance condition, in which the number of equity instruments varies). At the
beginning of year 1, X Ltd. grants options to 200 employees. The share options will vest at the end of year 3, provided that
the employees remain in the entity’s employment, and provided that revenues of the company increase by at least at an
average of 8% per year. If the per cent of increase is 8% and above but below 10% per year, each employee will receive 120
share options, if 10% and above but below 15% each year, each employee will receive 240 share options and if on or above
15%, each employee will receive 360 share options. On grant date, X Ltd. estimates that the share options have a fair value
of ₹40 per option and also estimates that 16% of employees will leave before the end of year 3.
By the end of year 1, 12 employees have left and the entity still expects that a total of 32 employees will leave by the end of
year 3. In year 1, revenue has increased by 12% and the company expects this rate of increase to continue over the next 2
years. By the end of year 2, a further 10 employees have left, bringing the total to 22 to date. The entity now expects only 5
more employees will leave during year 3, and therefore expects a total of 27 employees will have left during the three-year
period. Revenue in year 2 increased by 18%, resulting in an average of 15% over the two years. By the end of year 3, a further
8 employees have left. The revenue increased by an average of 16% per year in the three-year period.

QUESTION 9. (Concept of Grant with a performance condition, in which the exercise price varies).
At the beginning of year 1, an entity grants to a senior executive 10,000 share options, conditional upon the executive’s
remaining in the entity’s employment until the end of year 3. The exercise price is ₹40. However, the exercise price drops to
₹30 if the entity’s earnings increase by at least an average of 10% per year over the three-year period.
On grant date, the entity estimates that the fair value of the share options, with an exercise price of ₹30, is ₹16 per option.
If the exercise price is ₹40, the entity estimates that the share options have a fair value of ₹12 per option. During year 1, the
entity’s earnings increased by 12 per cent, and the entity expects that earnings will continue to increase at this rate over the
next two years. The entity therefore expects that the earnings target will be achieved, and hence the share options will have
an exercise price of ₹30. During year 2, the entity’s earnings increased by 13 per cent, and the entity continues to expect
that the earnings target will be achieved. During year 3, the entity’s earnings increased by only 3 per cent, and therefore the
earnings target was not achieved. The executive completes three years’ service, and therefore satisfies the service condition.
Because the earnings target was not achieved, the 10,000 vested share options have an exercise price of ₹40. Calculate
amount of expenses to be recognised each year.

QUESTION 10. At the beginning of year 1, an entity grants to a senior executive 10,000 share options, conditional upon the
executive remaining in the entity’s employment until the end of year 3. However, the share options cannot be exercised
unless the share price has increased from ₹50 at the beginning of year 1 to above ₹65 at the end of year 3. If the share
price is above ₹65 at the end of year 3, the share options can be exercised at any time during the next seven years. The
entity applies a binomial option pricing model, which takes into account the possibility that the share price will exceed ₹65
at the end of year 3 (and hence the share options become exercisable) and the possibility that the share price will not
exceed ₹65 at the end of year 3 (and hence the options will be forfeited). It estimates the fair value of the share options
with this market condition to be ₹24 per option.

QUESTION 10 A. Assume the probability is 80% of increasing price by above Rs 65 in question number 10.
QUESTION 11. XYZ Ltd issued 10,000 shares appreciation rights (SAR) that vest immediately to its employees on 1st April
2023. The SAR is to be settled in cash. At that time, it is estimated, using an option pricing model, that the fair value of a
SAR is ₹95. SAR can be exercised any time up to 31st March 2026. At the end of the period on 31st March 2024, it is expected
that 95% of the total employees will exercise the option, 92% of total employees will exercise the option at the end of next
year and finally 89% will be vested only at the end of 3 rd year. Fair value at the end of each period have been given as

QUESTION 17. An entity grants to an employee the right to choose either 2,000 shares, i.e., a right to a cash payment equal to the
value of 2,000 shares, or 2,400 shares. The grant is conditional upon the completion of three years' service. If the employee chooses
the share alternative, the shares must be held for three years after vesting date.
At grant date, the entity’s share price is ₹50 per share. At the end of years 1, 2 and 3, the share price is ₹52, ₹55 and ₹60 respectively.
The entity does not expect to pay dividends in the next three years. After taking into account the effects of the post-vesting
transfer restrictions, the entity estimates that the grant date fair value of the share alternative is ₹48 per share. Make journal entries if
at the end of year 3, the employee chooses:
Solution:
1. Computation of Value of Equity component in compound instrument as on 1st January 2023:
Fair value of equity alternative (2,400 X 48) = 1,15,200
Fair value of cash alternative (2,000 X 50) = 1,00,000
Value of Equity component in compound instrument 15,200
Question 18. D Ltd. offers shares to its employees as bonus for meeting a target. Is it a share-based payment transaction?
Is it equity settled or cash settled?
Solution: Yes. It is equity settled share-based payment transaction as D issues its own shares against receiving of services
from the employees.
Question 19. Mr. Z is granted share options conditional upon completing 2 years’ service. How is the transaction
recognised?
Solution: The transaction will be recognized as equity-settled share-based payment transaction. The services from the
employee will be assumed to be rendered in future during the vesting period. In each financial statement falling in the
vesting period the fair value of the share options as on the grant date will be recognized in proportion of the period
expired to the total vesting period.
Question 20. Mr. X is an employee of P Ltd. and also holder of equity shares of P Ltd. P makes a right issue on equity and X receives
his right. Is it a share-based payment transaction?
Solution: No. For the purpose of this standard, a transaction with an employee or other party in his/her capacity as a
holder of equity instruments of the entity is not a share-based payment transaction.
Question 21. D Ltd. grants 10 share appreciation rights to Q, an employee, entitling him to receive cash payment for the
increase in quoted price of D’s shares from the exercise price of ₹ 500 per share after 3 years. How the transaction
should be recognized if it is assumed for (a) for his past service, (b) for his service in future 3 years?
Solution: The transaction should be recognized as cash settled share-based payment transaction. (a) For past service, the
entity shall recognise immediately the services received and a liability to pay for them at fair value of the rights on the grant
date.
(b) For future service transaction will be recognized in the financial statements at fair value of the rights on the grant
date proportionate to the period expired to total vesting period.
Question 22. (Share-based payment transaction in which the entity cannot identify specifically some or all of the goods
or services received) An entity granted shares with a total fair value of ₹100,000 to parties belonging to differently abled
classes in the locality for enhancing its corporate image and the fair value of the goods or services received there for
cannot be estimated reliably. Whether Ind AS 102 will apply?
solution: Ind AS 102 will apply and Asset would be debited and Equity would be credited by ₹ 100000, the fair value of the
equity instruments granted.
Question 23. Z Ltd. grants 100 share options to each of its 400 employee’s conditionals on their continuing in service for
3 years. Fair value of share option on the grant date is ₹ 30. On the basis of a weighted average probability, the entity
estimates that 20 per cent of employees will leave during the three-year period and therefore forfeit their rights to
the share options.
During year 1, 18 employees leave. The entity revises its estimate of total employee departures over the three-year period from
20 per cent to 16 per cent. During year 2, a further 20 employees leave. The entity revises its estimate of total employee
departures over the three-year period from 16 per cent to 13%. During year 3, a further 14 employees leave.
Question 24. At the beginning of year 1, an entity grants to a senior executive 10,000 share options, conditional upon the
executive remaining in the entity’s employment until the end of year 3. However, the share options cannot be exercised
unless the share price has increased from ₹50 at the beginning of year 1 to above ₹65 at the end of year 3. If the share price
is above ₹65 at the end of year 3, the share options can be exercised at any time during the next seven years, i.e. by the end
of year. The entity applies a binomial option pricing model, which takes into account the possibility that the share price will
exceed ₹65 at the end of year 3 (and hence the share options become exercisable) and the possibility that the share price
will not exceed ₹65 at the end of year 3 (and hence the options will be forfeited). It estimates the fair value of the share
options with this market condition to be ₹24 per option.
Answer: If the entity expects the executive to complete the three-year service period, and the executive does so, the entity
recognises the following amounts in years 1, 2 and 3:
Year Calculation Cumulative remuneration Remuneration expense for
expense (₹ ) the year (₹ )
1 10,000 options × ₹24 × 1/3 80000 80000

Introduction: Many enterprises provide groups of products and services or operate in geographical areas that are subject
to differing rates of profitability, opportunities for growth, future prospects, and risks. Information about different types of
products and services of an enterprise and its operations in different geographical areas (often called segment information)
is relevant to assessing the risks and returns of a diversified or multi-locational enterprise but may not be determinable from
the aggregated data. Therefore, reporting of segment information is widely regarded as necessary for meeting the needs of
users of financial statements.
Objective of the Standard: The objective of this Standard is to establish principles for reporting financial information,
about the different segments. Such information helps users of financial statements:
(a) better understand the performance of the enterprise;
(b) better assess the risks and returns of the enterprise; and
(c) make more informed judgements about the enterprise as a whole
Scope of the Standard: This Accounting Standard shall apply to companies to which Indian Accounting Standards (Ind ASs)
notified under the Companies Act apply.
Core Principle of the Standard: An entity shall disclose information to enable users of its financial statements to evaluate the
nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments in which it
operates. Accordingly, it shall report specified information about its operating segments.
Note 1: An operating segment may engage in business activities for which it has yet to earn revenues.
For example,start-up operations may be operating segments before earning revenues.
Note 2: Not every part of an entity is necessarily an operating segment or part of an operating segment. For example, a
corporate headquarters or some functional departments may not earn revenues or may earn revenues that are only
incidental to the activities of the entity and would not be operating segments.
Note 3. Research and development department may be called operating segment if it satisfies conditions of being operating
segment.
Note 4. Discontinued operations – whether an operating segment??....... Yes it can also be classified as operating segment.
Reportable Segments: An entity shall report separately information about each operating segment that:
(a) has been identified in accordance with the meaning stated in the previous section (Ref: Meaning of Operating Segments)
OR results from aggregating two or more of those segments as mentioned in the aggregation criteria, and
(b) exceeds the quantitative thresholds.
Aggregation Criteria: Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if aggregation is
consistent with the core principle of this Ind AS, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments are
similar in each of the following respects:
(a) The nature of the products and services;
(b) The nature of the production processes;
(c) The type or class of customer for their products and services.
(d) The methods used to distribute their products or provide their services; and
(e) If applicable, the nature of the regulatory environment, for example, banking, insurance or publicutilities.
Question 1: X Ltd. is engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling papers. Varieties of paper like adhesive paper, anti-rust paper,
antique paper, art paper etc., are manufactured and sold by X Ltd. Should X Ltd classify these papers into different segments? (ICAI
Study material)
Answer: Two or more operating segments may be aggregated into a single operating segment if the segments have similar economic
characteristics, and the segments are similar with respect to various factors like nature of the product and production process, type of
customers, method of distribution and regulatory requirement.
In case of X Ltd., so far as varieties of paper concerned, if all factors such as nature of the product and production process, type of customers,
method of distribution and regulatory requirement are common, there is no need to create different segments for each type of paper.
Question 2: T Ltd is engaged in transport sector, running a fleet of buses at different routes. T Ltd has identified 3 operating segments:
- Segment 1: Local Route
- Segment 2: Inter-city Route
- Segment 3: Contract Hiring
The characteristics of each segment are as under:
Segment 1: The local transport authority awards the contract to ply the buses at different routes for passengers. These contracts are awarded
following a competitive tender process; the ticket price paid by passengers are controlled by the local transport authority. T Ltd would charge the
local transport authority on a per kilometer basis.
Segment 2: T Ltd operates buses from one city to another, prices are set by T Ltd on the basis of services provided (Deluxe, Luxury or
Superior).
Inappropriately aggregating segments reduces the usefulness of segment disclosures to investors. Ind AS 108 requires information
to be disclosed that is not readily available elsewhere in the financial statements.
In T Ltd.’s case, if the segments are aggregated, then the increased profits in segment 2 will hide the decreased profits in segment
1. However, the fact that profits have sharply declined in segment 1 would be of interest to investors as it may suggest that future cash
flows from this segment are at risk.
Question 3. XY Ltd. has operations in France, Italy, Germany, UK and India. It wishes to apply aggregation criteria on
geographical basis. How will the aggregation criteria apply for reporting segments in the given scenario?
Answer: XY Ltd. needs to assess and prove that each country possesses the same economic characteristics. Factors including
exchange control regulations, currency risks and economic conditions are required to be considered.
Considering above factors, it may be possible to aggregate the results of France, Italy and Germany (falling within EU region) and
results of UK and India may be separately reported (no aggregation is permitted).
QUESTION 4: ABC Ltd. manufactures and sells healthcare products, and food and grocery products. Three products namely A, B &
C are manufactured. Product A is classified as healthcare product and product B & C are classified as food and grocery
products. Products B & C are similar products. Discrete financial information is available for each manufacturing locations and for
the selling activity of each product. There are two-line managers responsible for manufacturing activities of products A, B & C.
Manager X manages product A and Manager B manages productsB & C. The operating results of health care products
(product A) and food and grocery products (products B & C) are regularly reviewed by the CODM. Identify reportable segments
of ABC Ltd.
Answer: In this situation both the healthcare, and food and grocery product line meet the criteria for operating segments set out above.
Therefore, it is likely that ABC Ltd.’s operating segments would be classified as being (i) healthcare and (ii) food and grocery segments.
QUESTION 5: The CEO along with other Board members do a review of financial information about various business segments and
take decisions on the basis of discrete information available for these segments and are correctly identified as Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM). Review of only revenue information is done for decision making about those segments by the CODM. As per
CODM, many segments require minimal costs due to centralization of costs.
Whether review of only the revenue related information is sufficient for these segments to be considered as operating segments
for the purposes of Ind AS 108 ‘Operating Segments’?
Answer: Many entities would be considering the decision making for segments on the basis of revenue growth especially the ones
aggressively trying to build a market share. Common examples would be businesses into technology sector or those creating or
launching new products from time to time. For them, the decision making for different regional segments would need revenue growth
and related information for further investment decision.
The logic given by the CODM is that since many segments require minimal costs (due to centralization of costs), therefore,
revenue-only data is a fair representation of the operating results.
In the above case, review of the information that is based only on revenue data may be appropriate to consider that the segment
meets the definition of an operating segment.
QUESTION 6: X Ltd. is engaged in the manufacture and sale of two distinct type of products A & B. X Ltd. supplies the product
in the domestic market in India as well as in Singapore. There are two regional managers responsible for manufacturing activities
of product A & B worldwide and also two other managers responsible for different geographical areas. For internal reporting
purposes, X Ltd. provides information product-wise and as per the geographical location of the company. The CODM regularly
reviews the operating results of both sets of components. How should X Ltd. identify its operating segments?
Answer: In this situation, both the geographical sales areas and product areas may meet the criteria for operating segment.
However, in such situation, it is more difficult to determine clearly which set of components should be identified as the entity’s
operating segments. In such situation the entity should determine which set of components constitutes the operating segments
by reference to the core principle. The core principle is that the entity should disclose information to enable users of its financial
statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which it engages and the economic environments
in which it operates. The entity should also assess whether the identified operating segments could realistically represent the
level at which the CODM is assessing performance and allocating resources.
Therefore, X Ltd. should consider all the above factors and apply judgement to determine which component should be disclosed as
operating segment.
Question 7. CODM of XY Ltd. receives and reviews multiple sets of information when assessing the businesses’ overall
performance to take a decision on resources allocation. It receives the information as under:
- Level 1 Report: Summary report for all 4 regions
- Level 2 Report: Summary report for 20 Sub-regions within those regions
- Level 3 Report: Detailed report for 50 Branches within the sub-regions
What factors and level should be considered for determining an operating segment?
Answer: We need to consider multiple factors (including but not limited to below):
- The process that CODM may use to assess the performance (Key Financial Matrix, KPIs,Ratio etc.);
- Identify the segment managers and their responsibility areas;
- The process of budgeting for resource allocations.
Quantitative Threshold: An entity shall report separately information about an operating segment that meets any of
the following quantitative thresholds:
(a) Its reported revenue (including both sales to external customers and inter segment sales or transfers) is 10% or more of the
combined revenue (internal and external) of all operating segments.
(b) The absolute amount of its reported profit or loss is 10% or more of the greater, in absolute amount, of (i) the combined
reported profit of all operating segments that did not report a loss and (ii) the combined reported loss of all operating segments
that reported a loss.
(c) Its assets are 10% or more of the combined assets of all operating segments.
• Operating segments that do not meet any of the quantitative thresholds may be considered reportable, and separately disclosed,
if management believes that information about the segment would be useful to users of the financial statements.
• An entity may combine information about operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds with information
about other operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds to produce a reportable segment only if the operating
segments have similar economic characteristics and share a majority of the aggregation criteria.
• If management judges that an operating segment identified as a reportable segment in the immediately preceding period is of
continuing significance, information about that segment shall continue to be reported separately in the current period even if
it no longer meets the criteria for reportability.
• Under the quantitative threshold, external revenue of reportable segments must be ≥ 75% of total external revenue of the entity.
• If an operating segment is identified as a reportable segment in the current period in accordance with the quantitative
thresholds, segment data for a prior period presented for comparative purposes shall be restated to reflect the newly reportable
segment as a separate segment, even if that segment did not satisfy the criteria for reportability in the prior period, unless the
necessary information is not available and the cost to developit would be excessive.
• However, there may be a practical limit to the number of reportable segments that an entity separately discloses beyond which
segment information may become too detailed. Hence, as the number of segments that are reportable increases above ten, the
entity should consider whether a practical limit has been reached.
Question 8. X Ltd. has identified 4 operating segments for which revenue data is given below:
Which of the segments would be reportable as per the criteria prescribed in Ind AS108?
Question 11. An entity has branches in different parts of the country – catering to different customers and selling local made
products (a product of one region is not sold in any other region). No regionor product contributes more than 5% to total revenue
of the entity. Discuss how many segments are reportable?
Answer: Under the quantitative threshold, external revenue of reportable segments must be ≥ 75% of total external revenue
of the entity. Considering above case, minimum 15 operating segments need to be reportable (75% [threshold] / 5% {revenue})
Question 12. An enterprise operates through eight segments, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H. The relevant
information about these segments is given in the following table
(Amounts in`₹’000)
Particulars A B C D E F G H Total

Profit/ (Loss)
Disclosure:
An entity shall disclose the following for each period for which a statement of profit and loss is presented:
II. Information about profit or loss, assets and liabilities: An entity shall report a measure of profit or loss for each
reportable segment. An entity shall report a measure of total assets and liabilities for each reportable segment if
such amounts are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker. An entity shall also disclose the
following:
III. Measurement: The amount of each segment item reported shall be the measure reported to the chief operating
decision maker for the purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to the segment and assessing its
performance.
IV. Reconciliations: An entity shall provide reconciliations of all of the following total of the reportable segments to that
of the entity:
(a) Revenue.
(b) Profit or loss before tax and discontinued operations.
(c) Assets
(d) Liabilities
(e) Amount for every other material item of information.
V. Entity-wide disclosures: Following information shall be provided by an entity only if it is not providedas part of the
reportable segment information (unless the necessary information is not available and the cost to develop it would be
excessive):
(A) Information about products and services: An entity shall report the revenues from external customers for each
product and service, or each group of similar products and services.
(B) Information about geographical areas: An entity shall report the following geographical information,
(a) Revenues from external customers:
(i) attributed to the entity’s country of domicile and
(ii) attributed to all foreign countries in total (separately if material).
(b) Non-current assets other than financial instruments, deferred tax assets, post-employment benefit assets, and rights
arising under insurance contracts
(i) located in the entity’s country of domicile and
(ii) located in all foreign countries in total in which the entity holds assets. If assets in an individual foreign
country are material, those assets shall be disclosed separately.
(C) Information about major customers: An entity shall provide information about the extent ofits reliance on
its major customers. If revenues from transactions with a single external customer amount to 10 per cent or more
of an entity’s revenues, the entity shall disclose that fact, the total amount of revenues from each such customer,
and the identity of the segment or segments reportingthe revenues.
(i) Entity preparing Separate financial statements (SFS) and Consolidated financial statement (CFS) both required to give
segment information under this Ind AS for CFS.
(iii) Employee benefit plans, investment divisions are not operating segments because they represent incidental activities
of the business and are not in itself an operating line of business.
(iv) Ind AS 108 requires reconciliation of segment information with information given in financial statements. For example,
matching of external sales of reportable segments with sales shown in profit and loss account of entity as a whole.
Reconciliation is primarily required due to:
PRACTICE QUESTIONS:
Question 13: The Chief Accountant of Sports Ltd. gives the following Data regarding its six segments: (₨ in Lakh
Particulars M N O P Q R Total
Segment Assets 40 80 30 20 20 10 200
Segment Results 50 -190 10 10 -10 30 -100
Segment Revenue 300 620 80 60 80 60 1,200
The Chief accountant is of the opinion that segments "M" and "N" alone should be reported. Is he justified in
his view? Discuss.
Question 14: Fellicy Limited has investment (equity and debit) in the book of HO. The investment constitutes 10% of total
assets. There is some income of interest and dividend. Is it necessary to show this activity of the HO as a separate segment
or can it be shown as unallocated corporate assets? (CMA FINAL 2004 JUNE 2 Marks)
Solution: As far as 10% limit is concerned it is material. If HO is actively engaged in trading in investments and earning
income out of it then it can be treated as a separate segment. But if only surplus cash in invested and incidental
income is earned then it can be taken to unallocated column.
Question 15: A Company has an inter-segment transfer pricing policy of charging of at cost less 10%. The market prices
are generally 25% above cost. Is the policy adopted by the company, correct?
Solution: Ind AS-108 ' operating Segment ' requires that inter-segment transfers should be measured on the basis that
the enterprise actually used to price these transfers. The basis of pricing inter-segment transfers and any change therein should
be disclosed in the financial statements. Hence, the enterprise can have its own policy for pricing inter-segment transfers and
hence, inter-segment transfers may be based on cost, below cost or market price.
However, whichever policy is followed, the same should be disclosed and applied consistently. Therefore, in the given case
inter-segment transfer pricing policy adopted by the company is correct if, followed consistently.
Question 16. Identify the reportable segment by profitability test is demonstrated as follows for XYZ Ltd.
Segment Profit (Loss)
A 450
B 50
C (350)
D (40)
E (210)
ICMAI Study material)
Solution: First, the operating segments are grouped according ng to whether they incurred a profit or loss, as follows:
Segments Incurring Profits Segments Incurring Losses
Segment Profit (₹) Segment Loss (₹)
A 450 C (350)
B 50 D (40)
- E (210)
500 600
From this point on the profitability test, only absolute amounts are used. The combined total of those segments incurring a
loss is larger than the combined total of those segments incurring a profit.
Therefore, any segment for which the absolute amount of its operating profit or loss equals or exceeds ₹ 60 (i.e., 10% of ₹ 600)
meets the profitability test and is therefore a reportable segment. Segments A, C and E meet the profitability test,
summarized as follows:

Important note:
Principal market means market with highest volume and high level of activities. In case there are many markets with such high
volume and high level of activities, we take into consideration most advantageous market.
Most advantageous market means the market that maximise the amount that would be recovered on sale of an asset or
minimise the amount that would be paid for transfer a liability.
While calculating most advantageous market, we calculate most advantageous price and for this we deduct both,
transportation cost and transaction cost from selling price.
(c) In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the market in which the entity would normally enter into a transaction to sell
the asset or to transfer the liability is presumed to be the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most
advantageous market.
(d) If there is a principal market for the asset or liability, the fair value measurement shall represent the price in that market,
even if the price in a different market is potentially more advantageous at the measurement date.
The fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs but shall be adjusted for transport costs.
Question 2. An asset is sold in two different active market. A market in which transaction for the asset and liability take place
with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing base at different prices. Entity can enter into
both the market and can access the prices in both market for the asset on measurement date.
Market A Market B
Price 26,000 25,000
Transaction cost 3,000 1,000
Transportation cost 2,000 2,000
Net amount 21,000 22,000
Find out fair value of the asset as per Ind AS 113.
Note 4. Meaning of market participants: -- market participants are buyer or seller in principal or most
advantageous market for asset or liability having following characteristics:
a. They should be independent (means should not be related party)
b. They should have proper knowledge about the product.
c. They should be able and willing to enter the transaction.
d. They should not be under any stress.
Note 5. Meaning of market conditions: - we consider market restrictions/conditions while determining fair value. It means
entity specific condition/restriction is not considered.
Question 3. State whether the following statements will be called market/product-based restriction or entity-based
restriction.
Case 1. A vehicle cannot be used for commercial purpose.
Case 2. Entity is using vehicle for transportation of employees.
Case 3. Securities (shares) given as security to bank for 10 years. It cannot be sold during 10 years.
Case 4. Securities cannot be physically transferred. It can be sold only through D-mat account.
(b) Highest and best use is determined from the perspective of market participants, even if the entity intends a different use.
However, an entity’s current use of a non-financial asset is presumed to be its highest and best use unless market or other
factors suggest that a different use by market participants would maximise the value of the asset.
(c) If the highest and best use of the asset is to use the asset in combination with other assets or with other assets and liabilities,
the fair value of the asset is the price that would be received in a current transaction to sell the asset assuming that the market
participant already holds the complementary assets and the associated liabilities
(d) If the highest and best use of the asset is to use it on a stand-alone basis, the fair value of the asset is the price that would
be received in a current transaction to sell the asset to market participants that would use the asset on a stand-alone basis.
Fair value at initial recognition: If another Ind AS requires or permits an entity to measure an asset or a liability initially
at fair value and the transaction price differs from fair value, the entity shall recognise the resulting gain or loss in profit or
loss unless that Ind AS specifies otherwise.
Valuation techniques:
(a) An entity shall use valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are
available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs(Means developed using market data)
and minimising the use of unobservable inputs(means unreliable market data).
(b) Three widely used valuation techniques are the market approach, the cost approach and the income approach.
(i) The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or
comparable (ie similar) assets, liabilities or a group of assets and liabilities (such as a business).
(ii) The cost approach reflects the amount that would be required currently to replace the service capacity of an asset (often
referred to as current replacement cost).
(iii) The income approach converts future amounts (eg cash flows or income and expenses) to a single current (ie discounted)
amount.
(i) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at
the measurement date.
(ii) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly or indirectly.
(iii) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
(c) An entity shall present the quantitative disclosures required by this Ind AS in a tabular format unless another format is
more appropriate.
1. Introduction:
➢ This standard states how to recognize revenue and to measure the amount at which revenue is
recognized from contracts with customers.
➢ Revenue is the consideration for satisfying performance obligation undertaken in the contract.
In an ordinary contract for sale of goods, the performance obligation is satisfied when goods are
transferred to the customer and revenue (Sale) is recognized at the (sale value) transaction price.
But there may be complications at different stages in revenue recognition and measurement. The different
stages can be enumerated as below:
I. Identifying the contract.
Note:- While stages I to III are for recognition of revenue, stage IV is for its measurement.
2. Scope:
An entity shall apply this Standard to all contracts with customers, except the following:
(a) lease contracts (Ind AS 116);
(c) financial instruments and other contractual rights or obligations within the scope of Ind AS 109- FinancialInstruments, Ind
AS 110- Consolidated Financial Statements, Ind AS 111- Joint Arrangements, Ind AS 27- Separate Financial Statements and
Ind AS 28- Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures; and
(d) Non-monetary exchanges between entities in the same line of business to facilitate sales to customers orpotential
customers.
For example, this Standard would not apply to a contract between two oil companies that agree to an exchange of oil to
fulfil demand from their customers in different specified locations ona timely basis.
➢ An entity shall apply this standard to a contract (other than exception listed above) only if the counter party to the
contract is a customer.
(a) the parties to the contract have approved the contract (in writing, orally or industry practices) and are committed to
perform their respective obligations;
(b) the entity can identify each party’s rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred;
(c) the entity can identify the payment terms for the goods or services to be transferred;
(d) the contract has commercial substance. It means, the contract must have economic consequences. (ie the risk, timing
or amount of the entity’s future cash flows is expected to change as a result of the contract); and
(e) it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange forthe goods or services
that will be transferred to the customer. In evaluating whether collectabilityof an amount of consideration is probable,
an entity shall consider only the customer’s ability andintention to pay that amount of consideration when it is due.
(1) There does not exist a contract if each party to the contract has the unilateral enforceable right to terminate a wholly
unperformed contract without compensating the other parties. A contract is wholly unperformed if—
(a) the entity has not yet transferred any promised goods or services to the customer: and
(b) the entity has not received, and is not yet entitled to receive, any consideration in exchange for promised goods or
services.
(2) In some situations, only the customer has the ability to terminate the contract without penalty.
In those situations, the contract term for accounting purposes may be shorter than that stated in
the contract.
Concept question 1: A gymnasium enters into a contract with a new member to provide access to its gym for a 12-month
period at 4,500 per month. The member can cancel his or her membership without penalty after three months. Specify the
contract term.
Solution: The enforceable rights and obligations of this contract are for three months, and therefore the
contract term is three months.
iii. A contract meeting the criteria at inception shall not be reassessed unless significant changes take place. However, a
contract failing to meet the criteria shall continue to reassess to determine if the criteria are met subsequently.
iv. When a contract with a customer does not meet the criteria (of identifying the contract) and an entity receives consideration
from the customer, the entity shall recognise the consideration received as revenue only when either of the following events
has occurred:
(a) the entity has no remaining obligations to transfer goods or services to the customer and all, or substantially all, of
the consideration promised by the customer has been received by the entity and is non-refundable; or
(b) the contract has been terminated and the consideration received from the customer is non- refundable.
➢ The consideration received shall be recognized as liability until any of the above criteria (of identifying the contract)
is met at the time of the consideration received.
Concept question 2(related to point iv). On 2nd January 2024, an entity sold goods to a customer (Known as big don in the
area) for Rs 1,20,000. The Entity received Rs 10,000 in cash and balance amount was payable after 1 months. But as per the
track record of the customer, entity expects that there is very less or no chance of recovery of balance amount. Make journal
entries, if:
(b) Customer refused to pay the amount on 2nd February 2024 and we forfeited the amount received previously.
Solution:
Case (c) No further entry will be passed. It will be shown as liability in the
balance sheet.
(i) a good or service (or a bundle of goods and services) that is distinct or
(ii) a series of distinct goods and services (substantially with same pattern of transfer)
b. A good or service that is promised to a customer is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:
i. the customer can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resourcesthat are readily available
to the customer; and
ii. the entity’s promise to transfer the goods or services to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the
contract.
For example:
i. Sale of AC/ TV and its installation are two distinct products only if installation can also be done from any third party.
ii. Sale of car with compulsorily three free services (Assurance warranty) are not distinct products because free car services are
not readily available to the customer from any third party.
c. In the following cases goods or services will be treated as single performance obligation even they satisfy the above
criteria:
(i) The entity has done significant integration. It means entity has used multiple goods and services to provide the customer a
final product he has asked for. For example, construction of farm house.
(ii) if the entity has significantly modified or customized the good or service. For example, contract to provide customized
software and its installation.
(iii) if good or service are highly interdependent or inter-related. For example designing and construction of building.
Concept question 3. An entity enters into contract to provide water purifier and 3 years maintenance service to the customer.
Customer can also purchase water purifier and maintenance service separately from any other vendor. State whether there is one
performance obligation or more than one.
Solution: Here, there are two separate performance obligation in the contract i.e. sale of water purifier and sale of maintenance
services.
1. At point of time:- An entity shall recognise revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation by
transferring the control of promised goods or services ( i.e an asset) at a point of time.
Note 1: Control of an asset refers to the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the
asset.
Note 2: The benefits of an asset are the potential cash flows (inflows or savings in outflows) that can be obtained directly or
indirectly.
2. Over the period of time: If an entity transfers control of a goods or services over time and, therefore, recognises
revenue
over the period of time, if one of the following criteria is met:
(i) the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity
performs;
For example, Entity engage in business of security services, Maintenance services, hospitals.
(ii) the entity’s performance creates or enhances an asset (for example, work in progress) that the customer controls as
the asset is created or enhanced.
For example, Entity engages in business of construction of buildings, bridges, metro etc.
or
(iii) the entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the entity and the entityhas an enforceable
right to payment for performance completed to date.
For example, Entity engages in business of tailor-made products like CRM software, Site developments, satellite
development etc,
➢ If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, an entity satisfies the performance obligation
at a point in time.
➢ For each performance obligation satisfied over time, an entity shall recognise revenue over time by
measuring the progress towards complete satisfaction of that performance obligation.
Appropriate methods of measuring % of progress to recognise revenue include:
(a) Output method and
(b) Input method.
(a) Output method:- Output method recognises revenue on the basis of direct measurements of % of the goods
or services transferred to date in relation to total goods/services to be transferred under the contract.
➢ This method is more appropriate in case an entity has a right to consideration from a customer in an
amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity’s performance completed to
date.
➢ For example, a service contract in which an entity bills a fixed amount for each hour of service provided, the
entity may recognise revenue in the amount to which the entity has a right to invoice.
Concept question 4. X Ltd entered into a contract with a customer to construct a building for Rs 50,00,000. As per
surveyor report, company has completed 30% of the work by the end of first year and 70% by the end of 2 nd year.
Calculate revenue to be recognized till the end of first year and second year.
Solution: Statement showing revenue to be recognized each year:
1st year 2nd Year
Revenue recognized till the end of current 15,00,000 (50 lakhs x 30%) 35,00,000 (50 lakhs X 70%)
year Nil -15,00,000
Less: revenue already recognized till the end
of previous year
Revenue to be recognized during the 15,00,000 20,00,000
current year
Concept question 5. On 1st July 2024, Y Ltd entered into a contract with A Ltd to provide security services for Rs
60,00,000 over a period of 5 Years. Calculate revenue to be recognized till the end of first year (i.e 31 st March 2025)

(b) Input method: - Input method recognises revenue on the basis of the entity’s efforts or inputs to the satisfaction
of a performance obligation (for example, resources consumed, labour hours expended, costs incurred, time elapsed
or machine hours used) relative to the total expected inputs to the satisfaction of that performance obligation.
Note 1: Abnormal cost incurred are not considered for calculating % of progress.
Note 2. If the entity’s efforts or inputs are expended evenly throughout the performance period, it may be appropriate
for the entity to recognise revenue on a straight-line basis.
Important Note (Important for 1 mark question): In case of sales based royalty, Revenue is recognised when
subsequent sale occurs or performance obligation (transfer of license) to which sales based royalty has been
allocated is satisfied, whichever is later.
1. Accounting of revenue:
(i) when control is transferred but consideration is not received:
Debtors account (contract asset) Dr
To sales account
(ii) when payment is received but control of good or service is not transferred:
Bank account Dr
To unearned income account (contract liability)
(iii) when control is transferred and consideration is also received:
Bank account Dr
To sales account
(iv) When WIP asset is created as a contract cost:
WIP asset (prepaid expenses) account Dr
To bank account
2. Accounting in case of sale with right of return (Entity like Amazon, flipcart etc):
To account for the transfer of products/services with a right of return, an entity shall recognise all of the following:
(Based on their past experience and estimates)
(i) revenue for the transferred products is the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled
(therefore, revenue would not be recognised for the products expected to be returned);
(ii) a refund liability; and
(iii) an asset (and corresponding adjustment to cost of sales) for its right to recover products from customers on
settling the refund liability.

Concept question 6. On 12.01.2024 COC Ltd. entered into a contract with Ram to sell 10 TV sets at a price of Rs 40,000
per unit (profit margin 20% on sale price). Determine revenue to be recognised by COC Ltd in 2023-24 It is a contract
of sale or return. The TV sets can be returned by Ram unconditionally within 3 months and the entity expects 30%
return.
Make journal entries if on 12th April 2024, Ram returned 2 sets and sent approval for remaining sets.
3. Accounting of warranties:

Concept question 7: On 1st July 2024, Tata Ltd sold its car to a customer for Rs 9,00,000 with 1 year assurance
warranty and 2 years of extended warranty. Standalone selling price of car with one year assurance warranty and
two years extended warranty are Rs 8,00,000 and Rs 2,00,000 respectively. Make journal entries in the year 1, 2 and
3 assuming that during first year (assurance warranty period) Tata Ltd has incurred Rs 24,000 on its warranty and
further estimated to incur Rs 10,000 as on 31st March 2025. During the period of second year and third year, no
expenses were incurred.
Stage IV. Determination of and allocation of transaction price to performance obligation:
When (or as) a performance obligation is satisfied, an entity shall recognise as revenue the amount of the
transaction price that is allocated to that performance obligation.
Concept question 8: On 1st May 2024, X Ltd (a construction company) enter into a contract to deliver an office
building to Ram at a contract price of Rs 80,00,000 on 31st March 2025 with a clause of variable consideration
based on timing of completion of the contract, mentioned as below:
If completed on or before Additional consideration Probability of completion

30 November 2024 10,00,000 .30
st
31 December 2024 8,00,000 .45
st
31 January 2025 6,00,000 .15
Calculate amount of variable consideration to be accounted in the books of account.
Concept question 9: X Ltd entered into a contract with customer to charge different price/unit based on volume
of units sold during the period of one year (i.e. 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025) given as below:
Sales volume per year Price/unit Probability
Upto 10,000 units Rs 100 20%
Upto 15,000 Units Rs 85 70%
Upto 20,000 units Rs 60 10%
Calculate variable consideration per unit and make entry for sale of 4,000 units of commodity on 16 th July 2024 at the
rate of Rs 100.
Concept Question 10. On 01.12.2024 A Ltd. entered into a contract with customer to install a system at Rs 20 lakhs
and implement a software by June 2025 at Rs 80 lakhs plus Rs 15 lakhs bonus for completing software
implementation by April 2025. Initially A Ltd. estimated the contract price at 1 crore for two performance
obligations – system installation and software implementation by June 2025.
In March 2025 the company found system installation complete and software implementation 80% complete with
confidence to earn bonus of Rs 15 lakhs by completing implementation by April 2025. Compute revenue to be recognised
in 2024-25. (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: Bonus of Rs 15 Lakhs is the variable consideration considered as change in contract price to be allocated to
performance obligation of software implementation and recognised to the extent of performance obligation satisfied
over time.
Thus, revenue recognition in 2024-2025:
System installation completed Rs 20 Lakhs; and
Software implementation 80% completed = (Rs 80 lakhs + Rs 15 lakhs) × 80% = Rs 76 lakhs.
Note:- Had the software implementation be satisfied at a point in time when completed and control is transferred
in April 2025, no revenue would be recognised proportionately in 2024-2025 for software implementation.
(ii) The most likely amount— the most likely amount is the single most likely amount in a range of possible
consideration amounts. The most likely amount may be an appropriate estimate of the amount of variable
consideration if the contract has only two possible outcomes.
Concept question 11: Y Ltd entered into a contract with customer to charge different price/unit based on
volume of units sold during the period of one year (i.e. 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025) given as below:
Sales volume per year Price/unit Probability
Upto 10,000 units Rs 100 30%
Upto 15,000 Units Rs 85 70%
Calculate variable consideration per unit and make entry for sale of 4,000 units of commodity on 16th July 2024
at the rate of Rs 100.
Note 1: In examination, if method of calculation is not mentioned in question, we should apply the most likely
amount method if only two outcomes are given in question and the expected value method if more than two
outcomes are given in questions.
Note 2: If more than two outcomes are given and it is clearly mentioned in question to apply the most likely
amount method, then we should solve accordingly.
Concept question 12: Z Ltd entered into a contract with customer to charge different price/unit based on volume
of units sold during the period of one year (i.e. 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2025) given as below:
Sales volume per year Price/unit Probability
Upto 10,000 units Rs 100 20%
Upto 15,000 Units Rs 85 70%
Upto 20,000 units Rs 60 10%
Calculate variable consideration per unit by The most likely amount method.
Explanation of Point (b):- An entity shall include in the transaction price some or all of an amount of variable
consideration estimated only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of
cumulative revenue recognised will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is
subsequently resolved.
Explanation of Point (c): If significant financing component exists in the contract whether explicitly or implicitly, that
would be separately recognised as interest income.
Explanation 1:- if an entity makes sales and payment to be received after a certain period ( which is more than
normal trading period), then entity shall recognise sales at normal selling price and excess amount will be treated
as interest income ( finance income) over the credit period in the profit and loss account.
Note: if normal selling price is given in question --- thank God
If normal selling price is not given in the question, it can be calculated as follows:
(a) Normal selling price = cost of good or service + normal % of profit margin.
(b) Normal selling price = PV of future cash inflows at discounting rate.
Journal entries:
(a) At the time of sale:

Concept Question 15. On 31.03.2023 X Ltd. Sold goods at a price of Rs 1,33,100 payable on 31.03.2026. The implicit
interest rate is 10% p.a. What would be the revenue to be recognized for the year 2022-23, 2023-24, 2024-25 and 2025-
26? (ICMAI Study material)
Concept Question 16. On 01.04.2024 X Ltd. Sold goods at a price of Rs 1,30,000 payable on 31.07.2024. The implicit
interest rateis 12% p.a. What would be the revenue to be recognized for the year 2024-25? (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: Since financing component is not considered significant as the period is normal credit period.Hence, the
entire sale value of Rs 1,30,000 is recognised as revenue from contract with customer.
Concept Question 17. On 01.04.2024 X Ltd. sold goods at a price of Rs 1,25,000 plus interest at the rate of 30%
p.a. payable on 31.07. 2024 at the end of normal credit period of 4 months. What would be the revenue to be
recognized for the year 2024-25? (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: Any interest charged for normal credit period is not considered as a financing component of the contract
price, rather included as part of revenue from contract with customer. As the credit period is normal Rs
1,25,000 plus interest Rs 10,000 = Rs 1,35,000 is recognised as revenue from contract with customer.
Concept Question 18. On 31.07.2024 X Ltd. sold goods at a price of Rs 1,25,000 plus interest at the rate of 30% p.a.
payable on 31.07.2025. Normal interest rate is 10% p.a. What would be the revenue to be recognized for the year
2024-25? (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: As the credit period is longer than normal credit period and the rate of interest charged is significantly
different from normal, selling price of Rs 1,25,000 plus interest in excess of normal (20% × 1,25,000), a total of Rs
1,50,000 is recognised as revenue from contract with customer in 2024-25 as the performance obligation is satisfied
by sale of goods. The normal interest for 1 year is recognized as interest income to be distributed for 8 months in
the year 24-25 and for 4 months in 25-26.
Explanation of Point (d):- To determine the transaction price for contracts in which a customer promises
consideration in a form other than cash, an entity shall measure the non-cash consideration (or promise of non-
cash consideration) at fair value.
Note: If fair value of non-cash consideration cannot be estimated reliably, then assume complete transaction price
as equals to standalone selling price of goods or services promised to customer.
Explanation of Point (e): - An entity shall account for consideration payable to a customer, if any, as a reduction of
the transaction price. For example, cash back, coupon, vouchers to customers.
Concept Question 19. On 31.03.2024 A Ltd. enter into a contract with a customer for sale of goods of Rs 4,000
granting 50% discount voucher to be availed in future purchase up to Rs 3,000 within 30 days. Ordinarily 10%
discount is allowed on sales. Ordinary discount will not be available to avail the 50% discount voucher. There is
60% probability that the customer will redeem the discount voucher and the estimated amount of purchase is Rs
2,000. In April 2024 the discount vouchers are redeemed for purchase of additional goods of Rs 2,800. Find revenue
recognition in 2023-24 andin 2024-25. (ICMAI Study material)
(B2) Variable consideration attributable to the entire contract or to a specific part of the contract is allocated
accordingly.
➢ An entity shall allocate to the performance obligations in the contract any subsequent changes in the
transaction price on the same basis as at contract inception.
➢ In Bill-and-hold transaction, the entity holds the goods as custodian and revenue is recognised. However,for
establishing transfer of control, all the following criteria must be met:
(a) the reason for the bill-and-hold arrangement must be substantive (for example, the customer has
requested the arrangement);
(b) the product must be identified separately as belonging to the customer;
(c) the product currently must be ready for physical transfer to the customer; and
(d) the entity cannot have the ability to use the product or to direct it to another customer.
Note: any consideration received for bill and hold transaction will be treated as revenue for the period it relates.
Concept Question 20 (bill-and-hold arrangement): A Ltd. entered into a contract with a customer for construction
of a machine at the site of the customer at Rs 8 lakhs and for supply of spare parts at Rs 1.6 lakhs in the next financial
year but to hold the spare parts in A Ltd’s warehouse separately to be delivered to the customer’s factory as and
when required in following 3 financial years for additional consideration of Rs 20,000 p.a. Recognise revenue in the
financial years if the contract is duly performed. (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: In the year of contract, no revenue is recognised as no performance obligation satisfied. In the next year
Rs 8 lakhs is recognised for completing the construction and transfer of control at the point in time.
Further Rs 1.6 lakhs is recognised for supply of spare parts although it is held in warehouse of A Ltd. as custodian as
control is transferred.
Rs 20,000 in each of the 3 years next shall be recognised as revenue from custodial services.
Concept question 21. COC Ltd is selling 4 different subjects to a student for Rs 20,000. Individual price of each

Note: If there is clear differences between standalone price and billed amount of the product (for the purpose of tax
evasion or any other reason).
Concept question 23 (If raised separate bills of the products are exceptionally different from their standalone
price). COC Ltd is selling its CFR classes in google drive with hard book for Rs 9,000 (2 products- classes and book)
raising two separate bill at Rs 5,000 for classes and Rs 4,000 for hard book. The standalone selling price of the two
products are:
Classes – Rs 8,500
Book – Rs 1,500
Allocate transaction price between the two products as per Ind AS 115.
Solution: Allocation of the transaction price among two products:
Classes 8,500
10,000
x 9,000 = Rs 7,650
Book 1,500
10,000
x 9,000 = Rs 1,350
Total Rs 9,000
Concept question 24: X Ltd is selling License A and B to the customer. Price stated in the contract is fixed at Rs
5,50,000 for license ‘A’ and price for License ‘B’ is % based on sales-based royalty (variable consideration) i.e
expected to be Rs 30,00,000.
The standalone selling price of the two products are:
Modification C:- If modification results in Continuation of existing contract with modifications (for example, increase in
labour hour)
It will be a contract modification ‘C’ if the remaining performances are not distinct. In such case the total
performance obligations (existing and modifications) are related to total transaction price (existing and
modification), and allocation of transaction price to performance obligation is revised. The revenue recognized for
performance obligations satisfied is adjusted for the revised allocation (cumulative catch-up basis).
Concept Question 25 (based on Modification ‘A’): Z Ltd. agrees to sell 200 units of product ‘A’ to a customer for Rs
3,20,000 (Rs 1,600 per unit). The product ‘A’ units are transferred over to the customers from 01.01.2024 to
30.06.2024. On 31.03.2024 after transfer of control of 100 units of A, the contract is modified to deliver additional
50 units at the then market price of Rs 1,400 per unit to be delivered in following 3 months. Show how the
transaction will be accounted in books of Z ltd. (ICMAI Study material)
Concept Question 26 (based on Modification ‘B’): assume in previous question, on 1.4.2024 the contract is modified
to deliver 150 units of A instead of remaining 100 units by 30.6.2024 at Rs 1,500 per unit.
(ICMAI Study material)
Concept Question 27 (based on Modification ‘C’): On 1st November 2024, COC Ltd entered into a contract to teach
students in USA at Original contract price of Rs 50,000 based on estimated 200 production hours at a rate of Rs 250
per hour. After revenue recognition for 100 hours for the year ended on 31st March 2025, the contract is modified
to increase the required hours by 50
(i) at hourly rate by Rs 200;
(ii) at hourly rate of Rs 200 for the remaining hours;
(iii)) at hourly rate of Rs 200 for the total hours required (ICMAI Study material- Modified)
➢ When there are two or more contracts with same customer (or related party) at or near the same time,they will
be combined into a single contract if either—
(i) Contracts are negotiated as a package with single commercial objective. (development and installation of
specific software, designing and construction of bridge/dam)
(ii) The consideration of one contract depends on the price or performance of the other, or
(iii) There is single performance obligation.
Note: Entities will need to apply judgement to determine whether contracts are entered into at or near the same time because the
standard does not provide a bright line for making this assessment.
Concept question 29: Manufacturer of airplanes for the air force negotiates a contract to design and manufacture new fighter planes for a
Kashmir air base. At the same meeting, the manufacturer enters into a separate contract to supply parts for existing planes at other
bases. Would these contracts be combined? (ICAI Study material)
Solution: Contracts were negotiated at the same time, but they appear to have separate commercial objectives.
Manufacturing and supply contracts are not dependent on one another, and the planes and the parts are not a
single performance obligation. Therefore, contracts for supply of fighter planes and supply of parts shall not be
combined and instead, they shall be accounted separately.
Concept question 30: Software Company S enters into a contract to license its customer relationship management software to Customer
B. Three days later, in a separate contract, S agrees to provide consulting services to significantly customise the licensed software
to function in B’s IT environment. B is unable to use the software until the customisation services are complete. Would these contracts
be combined?
Solution: S determines that the two contracts should be combined because they were entered into at nearly the
same time with the same customer, and the goods or services in the contracts are a single performance obligation.
used to provide a public service and operates and maintains that infrastructure (operation services) for a specified

Practice questions:
Concept Question 31: Determine whether there arise single or multiple performance obligations for the following
contracts with customers?
(a) A Ltd. enter into a contract with a customer for installing a central air-conditioner system including site
preparation, assembling of plants and test running the system.
(b) A Ltd. enter into a contract with a customer for installing a central air-conditioning system and a power
generating plant for support of the air-conditioning system. However, the power generating unit can also serve
other electrical uses and could be acquired from other suppliers separately.
(c) A Ltd. enter into a contract with a customer for installing a power generating plant which includes designingand
construction of the plant.
(i) Designing could have been made by any other independent designer. Based on the approved design
construction of the plant has to be done.
(ii) Designing and construction are continuously modified during installation.
(d) A Ltd. enter into a contract with a customer for transfer of a software license including its installation, where:
(i) Installation does not modify the software and installation could be done by any other entity.
(ii) Installation is customised to modify the software with additional functionalities. (ICMAI Study material)
Solution:
(a) site preparation, assembling of plants and test running are integrated in single performance obligation.
(b) As power generating unit can serve other uses and could be procured from different supplier installationof
power generation unit is distinct from installation of air-conditioning system. Hence, there are multiple
performance obligations.
(c) (i) Designing and construction are distinct performance obligations.
(ii) They are integrated and bundled into single performance obligation.
(d) (i) Software license transfer and installation are distinct and there are two performance obligations.
(ii) They are integrated and bundled into single performance obligation.
Concept Question 32: On 01.08.2024 A Ltd. enter into a contract with a hotel for daily sanitisation of the
building for 3 years at Rs 12,000 per month. The customer receives and consume benefits each day. Determine the
revenue to be recognised in 2024-25. (ICMAI Study material)
Solution: It is a series of distinct goods and services constituting a single performance obligation to be satisfied over
time and transaction price has to be allocated proportionately to the performance obligation satisfied. Accordingly,
for 8 months @ Rs 12,000 per month, Rs 96,000 will be the revenue to be recognised in 2024-25.
Concept Question 33: On 01.01.2024 A Ltd. entered into a contract with B to sell 20 TV sets at a price of Rs 50,000
per set and the goods were delivered in February, 2024. Determine revenue to be recognised by A Ltd in 2023-24 in
the following circumstances:
(i) 2 sets found damaged at the time of receiving and returned by B.
(ii) 4 sets found not properly functioning in March, 2024 and they were replaced by A Ltd as per terms of warranty.
(iii) It is not a sale but goods sent on consignment and B will sell the TV sets at Rs 50,000 per set. 12 sets were sold
by B.
(iv) It is a contract of sale or return. The TV sets can be returned by B unconditionally within 3 months. The entity
expects (a) full return; (b) 50% return (ICMAI Study material)
Solution:
(i) Revenue is recognised for 18 sets at Rs 9,00,000. 2 sets returned to inventory of defective items.
(ii) Revenue is recognised for 20 sets at Rs 10,00,000 at delivery (assumed warranty is required by law and
subsequent replacement is not considered as performance obligation to be satisfied over time and to attract
any allocation of contract price).
(iii) Revenue is recognised for 12 sets at Rs 6,00,000. The other 8 sets are recognised as asset (inventory) at cost.
(iv) (a) No revenue is recognised on delivery as right of the customer to unconditionally return the goods has not
expired and full return is expected. The amount received or receivable on delivery of the sets is recognised as a
liability and asset (inventory) is recognised for all 20 sets at cost. The performance obligation will be satisfied at
the point of time when that right to return will expire and then only revenue will be recognised cancelling the
liability.
(b) Revenue will be recognised at Rs 5,00,000 (50% of delivery) and for balance Rs 5,00,000, liability will be
recognised. Further, asset (inventory) should be recognised for 10 sets at cost.
Concept question 34: A construction services company enters into a contract with a customer to build a water purification plant.
The company is responsible for all aspects of the plant including overall project management, engineering and design services, site
preparation, physical construction of the plant, procurement of pumps and equipment for measuring and testing flow volumes and
water quality, and the integration of all components.
Determine whether the company has a single or multiple performance obligations under the contract? (ICAI Study material)
Solution: Determining whether a goods or service represents a performance obligation on its own or is required to be aggregated
with other goods or services can have a significant impact on the timing of revenue recognition. In order to
determine how many performance obligations are present in the contract, the company applies the guidance given in Ind AS 115.
While the customer may be able to benefit from each promised goods or service on its own (or together with other readily available
resources), they do not appear to be separately identifiable within the context of the contract. That is, the promised goods and
services are subject to significant integration, and as a result will be treated as a single performance obligation.
This is consistent with a view that the customer is primarily interested in acquiring a single asset (a water purification plant) rather
than a collection of related components and services.
Concept question 35: An entity provides broadband services to its customers along with voice call service.
Customer buys modem from the entity. However, customer can also get the connection from the entity and modem from any other
vendor. The installation activity requires limited effort and the cost involved is almost insignificant. It has various plans where it
provides either broadband services or voice call services or both.
Are the performance obligations under the contract distinct? (ICAI Study material)
Solution: Entity promises to customer to provide Broadband Service, Voice Call services and Modem. As per Ind AS 115, Entity’s
promise to provide goods and services is distinct if:
(a) customer can benefit from the goods or service either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to
the customer, and
(b) entity’s promise to transfer the goods or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the
contract
For broadband and voice call services: -
Broadband and voice services are separately identifiable from other promises as company has various plans to provide the two
services separately. These two services are not dependant or interrelated. Also, the customer can benefit on its own from the
services received.
For sale of modem: -
Customer can either buy product from entity or third party. No significant customisation or modification is required for selling
product.
Based on the evaluation we can say that there are three separate performance obligation i.e Broadband Service, Voice Call
services and Modem
Concept question 36: Entity sells gym memberships for Rs 7,500 per year to 100 customers, with an option to renew at a
discount in 2nd and 3rd years at Rs 6,000 per year. Entity estimates an annual attrition rate of 50% each year.
Determine the amount of revenue to be recognized in the first year and the amount of contract liability against the option given to the
customer for renewing the membership at discount.
Solution:
Since all customers will receive a 10% discount on purchases during the next 30 days, the only additional discount that provides the customer
with a material right is the incremental discount of 30% on the products purchased. The entity accounts for the promise to provide the
incremental discount as a separate performance obligation in the contract for the sale of Product A.
The entity believes there is 80% likelihood that a customer will redeem the voucher and, on an average, a customer will purchase Rs
500 worth of additional products. Consequently, the entity’s estimated stand-alone selling price of the discount voucher is Rs 120
(Rs 500 average purchase price of additional products X 30% incremental discount X 80% likelihood of exercising the option). The
standalone selling price of product A and the discount voucher and the resulting allocation of the Rs 1,000 transaction price are as
follows:
The entity allocates Rs 890 to product A and recognises revenue for product A when control transfers. The entity
allocates RS 110 to the discount voucher and recognises revenue for the voucher when the customer redeems it for
the goods or services or when it expires.
Concept question 38: Manufacturer M enters into a 60-day consignment contract to ship 1,000 dresses to Retailer A’s stores.
Retailer A is obligated to pay Manufacturer M Rs 20 per dress when the dress is sold to an end customer.
During the consignment period, Manufacturer M has the contractual right to require Retailer A to either return the dresses or transfer
them to another retailer. Manufacturer M is also required to accept the return of the inventory. State when the control is
transferred.
Solution: Manufacturer M determines that control has not been transferred to Retailer ‘ A’ on delivery, for the following
reasons:
(a) Retailer ‘A' does not have an unconditional obligation to pay for the dresses until they have been sold to an end customer;
(b) Manufacturer M is able to require that the dresses be transferred to another retailer at any time before Retailer A sells them
to an end customer; and
(c) Manufacturer M is able to require the return of the dresses or transfer them to another retailer.
Manufacturer M determines that control of the dresses transfers when they are sold to an end customer i.e. when Retailer A has an
unconditional obligation to pay Manufacturer M and can no longer return or otherwise transfer the dresses.
Manufacturer M recognizes revenue as the dresses are sold to the end customer.
Concept question 39: AST Limited enters into a contract with a customer to build a manufacturing facility. The entity
determines that the contract contains one performance obligation satisfied over time.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of the 36th month for an agreed-upon price of Rs 25 crore.
The entity has the opportunity to earn a performance bonus for early completion as follows:
• 15 percent bonus of the contract price if completed by the 30th month (25% likelihood)
• 10 percent bonus if completed by the 32nd month (40% likelihood)
• 5 percent bonus if completed by the 34th month (15% likelihood)
In addition to the potential performance bonus for early completion, AST Limited is entitled to a quality bonus of Rs 2 crore if a health
and safety inspector assigns the facility a gold star rating as defined by the agency in the terms of the contract. AST Limited
concludes that it is 60% likely that it will receive the quality bonus.
Determine the transaction price. (ICAI Study material)
Solution: In determining the transaction price, AST Limited separately estimates variable consideration for each element of variability i.e.
the early completion bonus and the quality bonus.
AST Limited should use the expected value method to estimate the variable consideration associated with the early completion bonus
because there is a range of possible outcomes. AST’s best estimate of the early completion bonus is Rs 2.13 crores calculated as
shown in the following table:
Bonus % Amount of bonus (in crore) Probability Probability-weighted
amount (in crore)
15% 3.75 25% 0.9375
10% 2.50 40% 1.00
5% 1.25 15% 0.1875
0% - 20% -
2.125
AST Limited should use the most likely amount to estimate the variable consideration associated with the potential quality
bonus because there are only two possible outcomes (Rs 2 crores or nil). AST Limited believes the most likely amount of the
quality bonus is Rs 2 crore.
Hence, total transaction price = 29.125 crores i.e. (25 + 2.125 + 2)
Question 40. HT Limited enters into a contract with a customer on 1st April, 2024 to sell Product X for Rs 1,000 per unit. If the
customer purchases more than 100 units of Product A in a financial year, the contract specifies that the price per unit is
retrospectively reduced to 900 per unit.
For the first quarter ended 30 th June, 2024, the entity sells 10 units of Product A to the customer. The entity estimates that the
customer's purchases will not exceed the 100 unit threshold required for the volume discount in the financial year. HT Limited
determines that it has significant experience with this product and with the purchasing pattern of the customer. Thus, HT Limited
concludes that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative amount of revenue recognized (i.e. Rs 1,000 per unit)
will not occur when the uncertainty is resolved (i.e. when the total amount of purchases is known).
Further, in May, 2024, the customer acquires another company and in the second quarter ended 30th September, 2024 the entity
sells an additional 50 units of Product A to the customer. In the light of the new fact, the entity estimates that the customer's purchases
will exceed the 100-unit threshold for the financial year and therefore it will be required to retrospectively reduce the price per
unit to Rs 900.
Determine the amount of revenue to be recognize by HT Ltd. for the quarter ended 30th June, 2024 and 30th
September, 2024.
Solution: The entity recognizes revenue of Rs 10,000 (10 units × 1,000 per unit) for the quarter ended 30th June 2024.
HT Limited recognizes revenue of Rs 44,000 for the quarter ended 30 th September, 2024. That amount is calculated as follows:
Revenue to be recognised till the end of 30th September 2024 ( 60 X 900) 54,000
th
Less: revenue already recognised till the end of 30 June 2024 (10X 1000) - 10,000
th
Revenue to be recognised for the quarter ended on 30 September 2024 44,000
Question 41. An entity enters into contracts with 1,000 customers. Each contract includes the sale of one product for Rs 50 (1,000 total
products ×50 = Rs 50,000 total consideration). Cash is received when control of a product transfers. The entity's customary business
practice is to allow a customer to return any unused product within 30 days and receive a full refund. The entity's cost of each
product is Rs 30.
Since the contract allows a customer to return the products, the consideration received from the customer is variable. To estimate the
variable consideration to which the entity will be entitled, the entity decides to use the expected value method because it is the
method that the entity expects to better predict the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. Using the expected value
method, the entity estimates that 970 products will not be returned.
The entity estimates that the costs of recovering the products will be immaterial and expects that the returned products can be
resold at a profit.
Determine the amount of revenue, refund liability and the asset to be recognized by the entity for the said contracts.
(ICAI Study material)
Solution: Upon transfer of control of the 1,000 products, the entity does not recognize revenue for the 30 products that it expects to
be returned. Consequently, in accordance with Ind AS 115, the entity recognizes the following:
(a) revenue of Rs 48,500 (50 × 970 products not expected to be returned).
(b) a refund liability of Rs 1,500 (50 refund × 30 products expected to be returned), and
(c) an asset of Rs 900 (30×30 products for its right to recover products from customers on settling the refund liability).
Question 42 (Concept of warranty) An entity manufactures and sells computers that include an assurance-type warranty for the first 90
days. The entity offers an optional ‘extended coverage’ plan under which it will repair or replace any defective part for three years
from the expiration of the assurance-type warranty. Since the optional ‘extended coverage’ plan is sold separately, the entity determines
that the three years of extended coverage represent a separate performance obligation (i.e. a service- type warranty). The total
transaction price for the sale of a computer and the extended warranty is 36,000. The entity determines that the stand-alone selling
prices of the computer and the extended warranty are Rs 32,000 and Rs 4,000, respectively. The inventory value of the computer is
Rs 14,400. Furthermore, the entity estimates that, based on its experience, it will incur Rs 2,000 in costs to repair defects that arise
within the 90-day coverage period for the assurance-type warranty. Pass required journal entries.

Question 43 (Concept of warranty) Entity sells 100 ultra-life batteries for Rs 2,000 each and provides the customer with a
five-year guarantee that the batteries will withstand the elements and continue to perform to specifications. The
entity, which normally provides a one-year guarantee to customer purchasing ultra-life batteries, determines that
from the years 2 to 5 represent a separate performance obligation. The entity determines that Rs 1,70,000 of the Rs
2,00,000 transaction price should be allocated to the batteries and 30,000 to the service warranty (based on
estimated stand-alone selling prices and a relative selling price allocation). The entity’s normal one-year warranty
cost is Rs 100 per battery. Pass required journal entries.
Solution: Upon delivery of the batteries, the entity records the following entry:
Bank /Receivables/ debtor account Dr 2,00,000
To Revenue 1,70,000
To Contract liability (service warranty) 30,000
Question 44 (based on financing component): A commercial airplane component supplier enters into a contract with a customer for a promised
consideration of Rs 70,00,000. Based on an evaluation of the facts and circumstances, the supplier concluded that Rs 1,40,000
represented an insignificant financing component because of an advance payment received in excess of a year before the transfer of
control of the product.
State whether company needs to make any adjustment in determining the transaction price.
What if the advance payment was larger and received further in advance, such that the entity concluded that Rs 14,00,000 represented
the financing component based on an analysis of the facts and circumstances.
Solution: The entity may conclude that Rs1,40,000, or 2 percent of the contract price, is not significant, and the entity may not
need to adjust the consideration promised in determining the transaction price.
However, when the advance payment was larger and received further in advance, such that the entity may conclude that
Rs14,00,000 represents the financing component based on an analysis of the facts and circumstances. In such a case, the entity may
conclude that Rs 14,00,000, or 20% of the contract price, is significant, and the entity should adjust the consideration promised in
determining the transaction price.
Question 45( based on allocation of transaction price) An entity enters into a contract with a customer to sell Products A, B and C
in exchange for Rs 10,000. The entity will satisfy the performance obligations for each of the products at different points in time. The
entity regularly sells Product A separately and therefore the stand-alone selling price is directly observable. The stand-alone selling
prices of Products B and C are not directly observable.
Because the stand-alone selling prices for Products B and C are not directly observable, the entity must estimate them. To estimate
the stand-alone selling prices, the entity uses the adjusted market assessment approach for Product B and the expected cost plus a
margin approach for Product C. In making those estimates, the entity maximises the use of observable inputs.
The entity estimates the stand-alone selling prices as follows:
Product Stand-alone selling price Method
Product A 5,000 Directly observable
Product B 2,500 Adjusted market assessment approach
Product C 7,500 Expected cost plus a margin approach
Total 15,000
Determine the transaction price allocated to each product.
Solution: The customer receives a discount for purchasing the bundle of goods because the sum of the stand-alone selling prices ( Rs 15,000)
exceeds the promised consideration ( Rs 10,000). The entity considers that there is no observable evidence about the performance
obligation to which the entire discount belongs. The discount is allocated proportionately across Products A, B and C. The discount,
and therefore the transaction price, is allocated as follows:
Product Allocated transaction price (to nearest Rs 100)
Product A 3,300 (5,000 ÷15,000 × 10,000)
Product B 1,700 (2,500 ÷ 15,000 × 10,000)
Product C 5,000 (7,500 ÷ 15,000 × 10,000)
Total 10,000
Question 46: ABC enters into a contract with a customer to build an item of equipment. The customer pays 10% advance and
then 80% in instalments of 10% each over the period of construction with balance 10% payable at the end of construction period.
The payments are non-refundable unless the company fails to perform as per the contract. Further, if the customer terminates the
contract, then entity is entitled to retain payments made. The company will have no further right to compensation from the
customer.
Evaluate if contract will qualify for satisfaction of performance obligation over a period of time.
Solution: The Company shall evaluate conditions laid in Ind AS 115 as follows:
Criterion (a) – whether the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits: - Customer can benefit only when the asset is
fully constructed and no benefits are consumed as its constructed. Hence, this criterion is not met.
Criterion (b) – An asset created that customer controls: - As per provided facts, the customer does not acquire control of the asset
as it is created.
Criterion (c) – no alternate use to entity and right to seek payment: - The customer has specific right over the asset and company
does not have right to divert it for any alternate use. In other words, there is contractual restriction to use the asset for any
alternate purpose.
In the event of early termination, Company has a right to retain any payments made by the customer. However, such payments
need not necessarily compensate the selling price of the partially constructed asset, if the customer was to stop making payments.
Therefore, Company does not have a legally enforceable right to payment for work completed to date and the criterion of Ind AS 115
not satisfied. Thus, revenue cannot be recognized over a period of time
Question 47: On 1st January, 2024, an entity contracts to renovate a building including the installation of new elevators. The entity
estimates the following with respect to the contract:
Particulars Amount
Transaction price 50,00,000
Expected costs:
(a) Elevators 15,00,000
(b) Other costs 25,00,000
Total 4,000,000
The entity purchases the elevators, and they are delivered to the site six months before they will be installed. The entity uses an
input method based on cost to measure progress towards completion. The entity has incurred actual other costs of Rs 5,00,000
by 31st March, 2024.
How will the Company recognize revenue, if performance obligation is met over a period of time.
Solution: Costs to be incurred comprise two major components – elevators and cost of construction service.
(a) The elevators are part of the overall construction project and are not a distinct performance obligation
(b) The cost of elevators is substantial (abnormal cost) to the overall project and are incurred well in advance.
(c) Upon delivery at site, the customer acquires control of such elevators.
(d) And there is no modification made to the elevators, which the company only procures and delivers at site. Nevertheless, as part of
materials used in overall construction project, the company is a principal in the transaction with the customer for such elevators
also.
Question 49: Construction Company C enters into a contract with Customer E to build an asset. Depending on when the asset is
completed, C will receive either Rs 1,10,000 or Rs 1,30,000.
Outcome Consideration Probability
Project completes on time 1,30,000 90%
1,000 10%
Determine the transaction price.
Solution: After considering all relevant facts and circumstances, M determines that the expected value method provides the best
prediction of the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled. As a result, it estimates the transaction price to be Rs
4,800 per television – i.e. ( 5,000 x 70%) + ( 4,500 x 20%) + ( 4,000 x 10%).

METHODS OF VALUATION OF GOODWILL: -- There are following methods for valuing goodwill:
1. Simple/Average profit method;
2. Super profit method;
3. Annuity method;
4. Capitalization method.
1. Simple Profit Method: - In this method, goodwill is valued on the basis of a certain number of years' purchase of the average
profits of the past few years.
Question 1. Profits earned during last three years by X Ltd are as follows:
(a) All non-recurring and abnormal expenses and losses not likely to occur in the future are added back to profits.
(b) Non-recurring or casual income not likely to recur in future are deducted from such profits.
(c) Expenses and losses expected to occur in future are deducted from such profits, (e.g., increase in rent, managerial
remuneration etc.)
(d) All profits likely to accrue in the future are added.
After above adjustments, average of the past years profits is calculated. Then such average profit is multiplied by certain number
of years, say 4 years. The resultant amount will be value of goodwill.
Question 2 (Calculation of Future Maintainable Profits) TATA Ltd. desirous of selling its business to COC Ltd. has earned the
following profits (after tax) in the past three years: ₹4,00,000, ₹5,50,000 and ₹6,40,000. Following facts need to be taken
into consideration:
(i) Directors' fees ₹50,000 per year will not be payable by COC Ltd. whose existing board can easily manage the additional
work.
(ii) Rent of ₹10,000 per month paid by TATA Ltd. will not be a charge against the profits of COC Ltd. as the latter company
has its own premises.
(iii) TATA Ltd. has not transferred its trade investments to COC Ltd. Hence, interest of ₹9,000 would not be earned by the
purchasing company.
(iv) TATA Ltd. had outsourced some of its business work for an annual contract of ₹1,24,000. However, COC Ltd. has enough
surplus staff to manage the same. Hence savings of this cost. Calculate the Future Maintainable Profits.
Question:3 (Purchase of Weighted Average Profit Method) A Ltd. proposed to purchase the business carried on by M/s X
and Co. Goodwill for this purpose is agreed to be valued at three years' purchase of the weighted average profits of the
past four years. The appropriate weights to be used are:
(a) On 1 December 2025 a major repair was made in respect of the plant incurring ₹30,000 which was charged to revenue.
The said sum is agreed to be capitalized for goodwill; calculation subject to adjustment of depreciation of 10% p.a. on
reducing balance method.
(b) The closing stock for the year 2024-25 was overvalued by ₹12,000.
(c) To cover management cost, an annual charge of ₹24,000 should be made for the purpose of valuation of goodwill.
Compute the value of goodwill of the firm. [ CMA Final 2001(Modified)
Super Profit Method: -- Under this method annual super profit is calculated. This represents excess of future
maintainable profits over normal profit. Goodwill is calculated by multiplying average super profit by certain number of year’s
purchase price.
NORMAL RATE OF RETURN-- The normal rate of return is that rate of earning which investors in general expect on their
investments in the particular type of industry. Normal rate of earning depends upon the bank rate, market need, period of
investment and risk attached to the investment.
(B) Capital Employed: - This represents net assets employed in the business.
➢ (AAO KASAM KHATE HAI): While calculating capital employed following points will be considered:
1. All assets except Goodwill, Non-trade investments and miscellaneous expenses should be taken.
2. Assets will be taken at current market prices.
3. All Liabilities (payable to outsiders) should be deducted.
4. Dividend payable (appearing in balance sheet) should not be deducted as it is part of current year's profit.
5. Funds/Reserves in the nature of liability should be deducted e.g. provident fund, Worker’s profit-sharing fund, Gratuity fund.

of Goodwill. (ICMAI FINAL EXAM)
Question: 7. From the following information, calculate goodwill on the basis of 4 years' purchase of super profits:
Market values of land and building and plant and machinery are estimated at ₹9,00,000 and ₹10,00,000 respectively.
Further, depreciation to the extent of ₹40,000 shall be taken into consideration. Income tax rate may be taken at 50%.
It may be noted that additional depreciation is not allowed for income tax purposes. Rate of return at 20% before tax may
be considered normal. For the purpose of determining the actual rate of return, profit for this year, after aforesaid
adjustments, may be taken as expected average profit. Similarly average trading capital

Profits (₹) 27,000 36,000 37,200 42,000 46,800
Case (b): It was decided to value the Goodwill on the basis of 3½ years’ purchase of average profit of last five years after
giving weights of 1, 2, 3, 6 and 8 to the profits chronologically.
Case (c): It was decided to value the Goodwill on the basis of 3 years’ purchase of weighted average profit of last five
years giving maximum weightage to the recent results.
Case (d): It was decided to value the Goodwill on the basis of 2½ years’ purchase of simple average profit of last five years.
In this regard the following were observed:
(i) an abnormal loss of ₹ 1,800 was charged against the profit of 2023;
(ii) Profit of 2024 included a non-recurring receipt of ₹ 2,500.
(iii) closing stock of 2025 was over-valued by ₹ 2,400. (ICMAI Study material)
Case (d): For valuation of goodwill under simple average method, average profit of last few years is to be multiplied by number
of years of purchase. Here, the term ‘profit’ refers to ‘Future Maintainable Profits’ that the entity can expect to earn in the
future. For determining such maintainable profit, past profits are required to be adjusted/ modified for any abnormal or non-
recurring items (whether gain or loss), which are not expected to arise in the future under normal circumstances.
In this case,
Profit of 2023 = Profit (as given) + Abnormal loss sustained in 2013 (which cannot be expected to occur in future) =
₹ 37,200 + ₹ 1,800 = ₹ 39,000
Profit of 2024 = Profit (as given) – non-recurring receipt of 2014 (which cannot be expected to occur in future)
= ₹ 42,000 – ₹ 2,500 = ₹ 39,500
Profit of 2025 = Profit (as given) – Overvaluation of closing stock (rectification of profit)
= ₹ 46,800 – ₹ 2,400 = ₹ 44,400
₹27,000 +₹36,000 +₹39,000+₹39,500+₹44,400
Simple Average profit = = ₹ 37,180

∴ Value of Goodwill = ₹ 37,180 × 2½ years’ purchase = ₹ 92,950
Question 15: XY Ltd, a partnership firm, earned profits during the past 4 years as follows:
Year 2022 2023 2024 2025
Profit (₹) 42,000 46,000 5,000 46,500
Firm has total assets worth ₹ 82,000 and its current liability includes only creditors of ₹ 12,800. The normal rate return is
10%. Determine the value of goodwill on the basis of 2½ year’s purchase of super profits. (ICMAI Study material)
Question 16: From the following particulars you are required to determine value of goodwill of ABX Ltd.
Super Profit (Computed) : ₹ 4,50,000
Normal rate of return : 12%
Present value of annuity of ₹1 for 4 years @ 12% : 3.0374
(CMA FINAL EXAM 2 Marks, ICMAI study material)
Solution:
Value of goodwill = Super profit × P.V of Annuity of ₹ 1for 4 years @ 12%
= ₹ 4,50,000 × 3.0374 = ₹ 13,66,830
Question 18: A firm values goodwill under ‘Capitalisation of profits’ method. Its average profits for past 4 years has been
determined at ₹ 72,000. Net Assets and Capital employed in the business is ₹4,80,000 and ₹ 5,00,000 respectively; and
its normal rate of return is 12%.
Determine value of goodwill based on:
(a) Capitalisation of Average Profits
(b) Capitalisation of Super Profits. (ICMAI study material)
Solution:
(a) Capitalisation of Average Profits
Expected Average Profit ₹72,000
In this case, Capitalised Value of the Business = = = ₹6,00,000
Normal Rate of Return 12%
PURPOSE OF SHARE VALUATION: The shares of a company are required to be valued for various purposes. Some of the most
important purposes include the following:
1. For selling shares of a shareholder to a purchaser (which are not quoted in the stock exchange)
2. For acquiring a block of shares which may or may not give the holder thereof a controlling interest in the company.
3. To shares by employees of the company where the retention of such shares is limited to the period of their employment.
4. To formulate schemes of merger and acquisition.
5. To acquire interest of dissenting shareholders under a scheme of reconstruction.
6. For granting loans on the basis of security of shares
7. To compensate shareholders on the acquisition of their shares by the government under a scheme of nationalization.
8. For conversion of securities, say preference shares into equity shares.
9. To resolve a deadlock in the management of a company on the basis of the controlling block of shares given to either of the
parties.
(1) Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model: It indicates the fair market value of a business (or Equity) based on the
value of cash flows that the business(or Equity) is expected to earn in future. This method involves the estimation of
Net Operating Profits Adjusted Tax (NOPAT) for the projected period, the business’s requirement of reinvestment in
terms of capital expenditure and incremental working capital and appropriate cost of capital that reflects the risks of
the corresponding return.
(i) Cash flows are unaffected by any differences of accounting policies, principles, conventions, and methods.
(ii) It provides the intrinsic or economic value unaffected by market forces.
Let us see how cash flows (FC, FCFF and FCFE) are computed so that future cash flows can be projected:
(a) Cash Flows (CF) = NOPAT + Depreciation, amortisation, impairment etc. (non-cash expenses charged against profits) +
(-) Decrease (Increase) in non-cash working capital.
8,00,000 8,00,000
Calculate (a) Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) (b) Cash Flows (CF) (c) Tax Rate
Free Cash Flows (CF): Free Cash Flows are of two types:
(a). FCFF- Free cash flow to firm is the amount by which a business’s operating cash flow exceeds its working
capital needs and expenditures on fixed assets.
FCFF = CF – Capex (Capex means capital expenditures made within the business for expansion, replacement etc.)
(b). FCFE (Free Cash Flow to the Equity)- FCFE is the amount of cash a business generates that is available to be potentially distributed
to equity shareholders.
Value of business = ∑DCF (for the period future cash flows are projected) + Terminal Value (TV)/Continuing Value/Exit value
discounted at its present worth.
Note 1. Meaning of Terminal Value or continuing value or exit value: As business is a going concern, at the end
of the limited period for which future cash flows (CF, FCFFor FCFE) are projected, the terminal value has to be computed by
aggregating the discounted cash flows from that moment till infinity.
Thus, Terminal Value = ∑DCF commencing from the end of projection period continued up to infinity.
(i) Two assumptions are made for finding terminal value for business valuation:
a. There is an infinite series of cash flows (CF, FCFF or FCFE)
b. Cash flows are either (a) constant or (b) growing at a constant rate
Note 2. Growth rate (g) in cash flows is determined by multiplying Re-investment rate (RR) with Return on invested capital
(ROIC) or return on capital employed (ROCE in absence of ROIC).
g = RR× ROIC (or, ROCE)

Question 7. Calculate value of equity in the previous question by dividend discount model if Growth rate is 5%.
Value of Equity
Value per share =
no.of equity shares
Average Maintainable Profits are computed to find out expected future earnings of the Equity. Hence all non-recurring or
abnormal items of income and expenses are eliminated. Simple or weighted average of past years (excluding any abnormal
year) adjusted earnings are computed.
Question 8. Average maintainable profit before interest, tax = 6,0₹0,000.
12% Debentures = ₹10,00,000.
Equity share capital of Rs 100 each = ₹10,00,000.
Tax expense = 30%
Average profit given above includes non-recurring expenses of ₹1,50,000.
Equity capitalisation rate (Ke) = 10%.
Calculate value per equity share by maintainable profit basis.
(a) Under Profit Basis: Under this method, at first, profit should be ascertained on the basis of past average profit; thereafter,
capitalized value of profit is to be determined on the basis of normal rate of return, and, the same (capitalized value of
profit) is divided by the number of shares in order to find out the value of each share.
𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒅𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒅𝒆𝒏𝒅
Value of each Equity Share= 𝒙 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝒖𝒑 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒆𝒂𝒄𝒉 𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆
𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏
NOTE: - Whether Profit Basis or Dividend Basis method is to be followed for ascertaining the value of shares depends on the
shares that are held by the respective shareholders. In other words, the shareholders holding minimum number of shares (i.e.,
minority holding) may determine the value of shares on dividend basis. Such shareholders have no such power to control the
affairs of the company.
On the contrary, the shareholders holding maximum number of shares (i.e., majority holding) have got more controlling rights
over the affairs of the company including the recommendation for the rate of divided among others. Under the circumstances,
valuation of shares should be made on profit basis.
In short, Profit Basis should be followed in the case of Majority Holding, and Dividend Basis should be followed in the case of
Non-controlling Holding.
(ii) Fair Value Method/ dual method: There are some valuers who do not accept either the Intrinsic Value or the Yield
Value for ascertainingthe value of shares. They prescribe the Fair Value Method which happens to be the arithmetic mean of
Intrinsic Value Method (net asset method) and Yield Value Method. The same provides a better indication about the value of
shares than the earlier two methods.
𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒄 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆+𝒚𝒊𝒆𝒍𝒅 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆
Fair value = 𝟐
1. Asset-Backing Method/intrinsic value method/ real value basis method/asset break up method:
Since the valuation is made on the basis of the assets of the company, it is known as Asset-Basis or Asset- Backing Method. At
the same time, the shares are valued on the basis of real internal value of the assets of the company and that is why the
method is also termed Intrinsic Value Method or Real Value Basis Method.
In case of the former, the utility of the assets is to be considered for the purpose of arriving at the value of the assets, but,
in the case of the latter, the realizable value of the assets is to be taken. Under this method, value of the net assets of the
company is to be determined first. Thereafter, the net assets are to be divided by the number of shares in order to find out
the value of each share. At the same time, value of goodwill (at its market value), investment (non-trading assets) are to
be added to net assets. Similarly, if there are any preference shares, those are also to be deducted with their arrear
dividends from the net assets.
Net Assets or the Funds Available for Equity Shareholders are ascertained as under:
(a) Ascertain the total market value of fixed assets and current assets;
(b) Compute the value of goodwill (as per the required method);
(c) Ascertain the total market value of non-trading assets (like investment) which are to be added;
(d) All fictitious assets (viz, Preliminary Expenses, Discount on issue of Shares/Debentures, Debit-Balance of P&L A/c etc.)
must be excluded;
(e) Deduct the total amount of Current Liabilities, Amount of Debentures with arrear interest,” if any, Preference Share
Capital with arrear dividend, if any.
(f) The balance left is called the Net Assets or Funds Available for Equity Shareholders.
Net assets value left is divided by number of equity shares to calculate intrinsic value per equity share.
Question:9. On 31 March, 2024, the balance sheet of a limited company disclosed the following position:
Balance Sheet
Liabilities ₹ Assets ₹
Equity share Capital of ₹10 3,00,000 Fixed Assets 5,00,000
C. Market Approach: Under market approach, value of equity is determined by applying relative or multiple to the base
value of the company. Relative or multiple is the ratio of market price to some accounting variable of the company taken as the
base value.
Most common multiples are price-earnings (P/E) ratio, price-sales (P/S) ratio, price-cash flow from operations (P/CFO) ratio
etc. Important point is the relatives have to be computed for the peer group of companies to find the average relationship
between the base value and market price. After obtaining the average relationship through relative or multiple, the company
finds it calculated market price by applying the average relative to its base value.
The steps involved to find value per share based on market approach:
1. Market capitalisation of each of the peer group of companies is related to any fundamental element of that company
(called base value such as Profits, Cash Flows, Net assets, Sales). The ratio obtained is called relative or multiple.
2. To decide what will be the base value on which multiple will be applied. More than one multiple is usually considered
in practice.
3. To compute the average of the multiples of the peer group of companies (we call it as Comparator) for each base value.
4. To apply the average multiple (Comparator to a particular base value of the required company for valuation of its equity
for that base. Then to find average of the different equity values based on differentbase values.
5. To divide average value of equity by the no. of shares in order to find value per share.
Market capitalisation is the product of market price of shares and the no. of shares outstanding. Thus, it represents market
value of equity. In computation of relative we may find some popular ratios also such as Price Earnings ratio where base value
is Earnings and Market to Book Value ratio where base value is Net Assets. But in all circumstances the base values are related
to market value of equity.
Relative or multiple = Market Capitalisation/Base value.
[where, alternative base values are EAT, EBIT, NOPAT, CF, FCFF, FCFE, Net Assets, Enterprise Value, Sales, or any other
fundamental variable]
Question 10. X Ltd. has EPS ₹12 and no. of shares 1000. Its CF ₹15,000 and Sales ₹80,000. Find value per share of X Ltd.

D 18,000 24,000 1,44,000 1,92,000
(ICMAI Study material)
Solution:
PAT of X Ltd. = EPS × No. of shares = 12 × 1000 = 12,000
For the 4 companies in the peer group Relatives are computed as MC/ Base Value
For PAT as base value M1 is the multiple. For CF as
base value M2 is the multiple. For Sales as base value
M3 is the multiple.

Profit before Interest and tax during the year 18,00,000
Tax rate 40%
Normally the return on equity shares in this type of industry is 15%. Find out the value of the equity shares subject to the
following:
(i) Profit after tax covers fixed interest and fixed dividend at least 4 times.
(ii) Debt equity ratio is at least 2.
(iii) Yield on shares is calculated at 60% of distributed profits and 10% on undistributed profits.
(iv) The company has been paying regularly an equity dividend of 15%.
(v) Risk premium for dividends is generally assumed at 1%.
₹12,50,000

₹12,50,5000+₹45,00,000+₹12,50,000
12,50,000
Debt Equity Ratio =₹ = 0.179
70,00,000
The ratio is less than the prescribed ratio i.e., 2.
Amt. (₹)
60% of distributed profits (60% of ₹6,75,000) 4,05,000
10% of undistributed profits (10% of ₹1,65,000) 16,500
4,21,500
Note 1: When interest and fixed dividend coverage is lower than the prescribed norm, the riskiness of equity investors is high.
Thus, they should claim additional risk premium over and above the normal rate of return.
Note 2: The debt equity ratio is lower than the prescribed ratio that means outside funds (Debts) are lower as compared to
shareholders’ funds. Thus, the risk is less for equity shareholders. Therefore, no risk premium is required to be added in such a
case.

Answer:
Scope: This Standard shall be applied by all entities to all types of financial instruments except:
• Share based payments (Ind as 102)
• Insurance contracts
•Employee benefit plans (Ind AS 19)
• Interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
Meaning of financial instruments: -- A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of
one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
(i) a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the entity’s own equity
instruments; or
(ii) a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset
for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments.
(ii) A derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for
a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments.
i. non-derivative contract: - Contract to deliver equity instruments by COC Ltd to Mr Karan, a lender of Rs 5,00,000 after three
years. Here number of equity instruments to be issued is not known at this time. It will depend on fair value of shares on
the date of payment. Hence it is a financial liability.
ii. derivative contract: - Contract to deliver as many numbers of entity’s own equity instruments by the company as are equal
to 1 kg of gold after 2 months. It is also a financial liability because number of shares to be issued will be known only on
date of payment, which is also uncertain.
Question 1. On 1st February 2020, Entity ‘X’ enters into forward contract with entity ‘Z’ to purchase 10,000 equity shares @ ₹60
each after a period of 3 months. On 31st March 2020, Entity ‘X’ strongly believes that price will increase in future by ₹15 per
share. Classify it.
Question 2. On 15 February 2020, Entity ‘Y’ enters into forward contract with entity ‘Z’ to purchase 1,000 equity shares @₹50
each after a period of 3 months. On 31st March 2020, Entity ‘Y’ strongly believes that price will decrease in future by ₹20
per share. Classify it in the book of Entity ‘Y’.
Question 3. Entity ‘A’ enters into call option with entity ‘B’ to purchase 500 shares for ₹55 per share. Premium paid ₹2 per
share after a period of 2 months. Classify it for A and B and show its treatment in their book, if
Case 1. Entity ‘A’and ‘B’ strongly believe that price will increase in future by ₹15 per share.
Case 2. Entity ‘A’and ‘B’ strongly believe that price will decrease in future by ₹20 per share.
Important note: It must be noted that if fixed number of equity shares will be issued for fixed amount of cash, then the
contract is equity instruments. For example, a company will deliver 1,00,000 shares for debt of ₹15,00,000.
Question 4. COC Ltd issued debentures of ₹20,00,000. As per the terms of issue, it has been agreed to issue equity shares of
₹10 each to redeem these debentures at the end of third year. Equity shares will be issued at the rate prevailing in market
on the date of redemption. Are issued debentures financial liability?
Answer: number of equity shares to be issued is not fixed. It would vary depending upon the market price of equity shares at
the time of issue. So, the equity settled debentures are treated as financial liabilities.
Question 5. If X Ltd writes (option writer/seller) an option under which the counter party can force the entity to sell equity shares at
₹15 per share at any time in next 70 days (called American call/put option). Is it a financial liability?
Answer: since X Ltd stands to lose if the option is exercised and the exchange is potentially unfavourable. Hence it is a financial
liability.
Question 6. Y Ltd issued 1,00,000 zero coupon bond of ₹10 each amounting to ₹10,00,000. Bonds will be redeemed at the end of
4th year by issuing 1,45,000 own equity shares of ₹10 each of the company. Should the equity settled bonds be classified as an
equity instruments or financial liability?
Answer: in this case Y Ltd will issue fixed number of equity shares at the end of 4 th year. Hence it should be classified as equity
instruments.
Example of financial liability: trade payables, loan from other entity, bonds and other debt instruments issued by the entity,
derivative financial liability, obligation to deliver variable number of own equity instruments, derivatives on own equity etc.
(b) If the instrument will or may be settled in the issuer’ own equity instruments, it is:
(i) A non-derivative that includes no contractual obligation for the issuer to deliver a variable number of its own
equity instruments: or
(ii) A derivative that will be settled only by the issuer exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset
for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.
Question 9. State whether following items will be treated as financial liability instruments or equity instruments.
a. Preference shares redeemable at stipulated date.
b. Preference shares redeemable at the option of holder.
c. Preference shares redeemable at the option of issuer.
d. Non-redeemable preference shares:
- Principal amount
- Dividend amount:
Question 10. A Ltd invests in compulsorily convertible preference shares(CCPS) issued by B Ltd (its subsidiary) at ₹1,000
each (₹10 face value and ₹990 premium). Under the terms of the instruments, each CCPS is compulsorily convertible into 1
equity shares of B Ltd at the end of 5 years. Such CCPS carry dividend @ 12% per annuam, payable only when declared at
the discretion of B Ltd. evaluate this under the definition of financial instrument for B ltd.
Solution : Since there is no contractual obligation to deliver cash or other financial asset by B ltd. Dividends are payable
only when declared and hence, at the discretion of the issuer(B Ltd), thereby resulting in no contractual obligation over B
ltd. CCPS are convertible into fixed number of equity shares. Hence it meets the definition of equity instruments and shall
be classified as equity instrument in the book of B Ltd.
Question 11. COC Ltd issues convertible debentures to Krishnamurty for a subscription amount of ₹100 crores. Those
debentures are convertible after 1 year into equity shares of COC Ltd using a pre-determined formula i.e.
100 crores X (1+10%)
Fair value on date of conversion
Examine the nature of financial instruments.
Solution: Such a contract is a financial liability of the entity even though the entity can settle it by delivering its own equity
instruments. It is not an equity instrument because the entity uses a variable number of its own equity to settle the contract.
Question 12. A Ltd issues warrants to all existing shareholders entitling them to purchase additional equity shares of A Ltd
( with face value of ₹100 per share) at an issue price of ₹150 per share. Evaluate whether this constitutes an equity instrument
or a financial liability?
Solution : in this case issue of warrant by A ltd constitutes a contractual arrangement for issuance of fixed number of shares
against fixed amount of cash. Here it is also fixed the number of shares to be issued by A Ltd. Hence it constitutes equity
instruments for A Ltd.
Concept of puttable instrument: A puttable instrument is a financial instrument that gives the holder
✓ the right to put the instrument back to the issuer for cash or another financial asset, or
✓ is automatically put back to the issuer on the occurrence of an uncertain future event or the death or retirement of the
instrument holder.
Puttable equity instrument should be classified as financial liability unless it satisfies all of the following conditions (in such
case it may be called equity)
i. It entitles the holder to a pro-rata share of the entity’s net assets in the event of the entity’s liquidation.
ii. It should be most subordinate to all other classes of instruments. It means they should not have priority over
other claims.
iii. In case of puttable instruments, all financial instruments in the most subordinate class have identical features.
iv. Apart from contractual obligation for issuer to repurchase or redeem the instrument for cash or another financial
asset, there are no other contractual obligation:
✓ To deliver cash or other financial assets, or
✓ To settle in variable number of entity’s own equity instruments.
v. In case of puttable instruments, the total expected cash flows attributable to the instruments over the life of the
instruments are based substantially on
✓ Profit or loss
✓ Change in the fair value of the recognised or unrecognised net assets of the entity over the life of the
instrument.
vi. The issuer must have no other financial instrument or contract to provide some extra advantages to the holder of
instrument.
Question 13. ABC Ltd has two classes of puttable shares- class A shares and class B shares. On liquidation, class B
shareholder are entitled to a pro-rata share of the entity’s residual assets upto a maximum of ₹10,00,000.
There is no limit to the rights of the class A shareholders to share in the residual assets on liquidation. Examine the
nature of the financial instrument.
Solution: the cap of ₹10,00,000 means that class B shares do not have entitlement to a pro rata share of the residual assets
of the entity on liquidation. They cannot therefore be classified as equity.
But class A shareholders have entitlement to a pro-rata share of the residual assets on liquidation. Therefore they can be
treated as equity instruments subject to satisfying all other conditions.
Compound/ hybrid financial instruments: instruments which have features of both, a financial liability and equity
instrument. Such instrument are called ‘compound financial instrument’
Split accounting for compound financial instruments: Equity instruments are instruments that evidence a residual interest
in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Therefore, when the initial carrying amount of a compound financial
instrument is allocated to its equity and liability components, the equity component is assigned the residual amount i.e.Fair value
of the instrument as a whole less the amount separately determined for the liability component.
Note: no gain or loss arises from initially recognising the component of the instrument separately.
Question 14. On 1st July 2020, D Ltd issues preference shares to G Ltd for a consideration of ₹10 lakhs. The holder has an option
to convert these preference shares to a fixed number of equity instruments of the issuer anytime upto a period of 3 years. If the
option is not exercised by the holder, the preference shares will be redeemed at the end of 3 years. The preference shares carry a
fixed coupon of 6% p.a. the prevailing rate for the similar preference shares, without the conversion feature is 9% p.a. calculate
the value of the liability and equity components.
Answer: liability component ₹9,24,061 and equity component ₹75,939.
Question 15. On 1st March 2020, A Ltd issues preference shares to G Ltd for a consideration of ₹10 lakhs. The holder has an
option to convert these preference shares to a fixed number of equity instruments of the issuer anytime upto a period of 3 years.
If the option is not exercised by the holder, the preference shares will be redeemed at the end of 3 years. The preference shares
carry a coupon of RBI base rate plus 1% p.a.
The prevailing market rate for the similar preference shares, without the conversion feature is RBI base rate plus 4% p.a. On the
date of contract RBI base rate is 9%. Calculate the value of the liability and equity components.
Answer: liability component ₹9,29,165 and equity component ₹70,835.
Conversion: classification of the liability and equity instruments of a convertible instrument is not revised as a result of a
change in the likelihood that a conversion option will be exercised, even when exercise of the option may appear to have
become economically advantageous to some holders.
Holder may not always act in the way that might be expected. Furthermore, the likelihood of conversion will change
from time to time.
In accounting for a transfer of a financial asset that does not qualify for de-recognition, the entity shall not offset the
transferred asset and associated liability.
CHAPTER- 3B
Ind AS 109: Financial Instruments: Recognition, Measurement and De recognition
Objective: The objective of this Standard is to establish principles for the financial reporting of financial assets and
financial liabilities that will present relevant and useful information to users of financial statements for their assessment of
the amounts, timing and uncertainty of an entity’s future cash flows.
Scope: This Standard shall be applied by all entities to all types of financial instruments except those specified in the
standard:
• Interests in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures • Leasing commitments
• Employee benefits • Financial instruments resulting in business combination • Insurance contracts
Recognition:
(a) Initial Recognition: An entity shall recognise a financial asset or a financial liability in its balance sheet when, and only
when, the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Examples:
(a) Unconditional receivables and payables are recognised as assets or liabilities when the entity becomes a party to the
contract and, as a consequence, has a legal right to receive/ legal obligation to pay cash.
(b) A forward contract that is within the scope of this Standard is recognised as an asset or a liability on the commitment
date, instead of on the date on which settlement takes place.
(c) Option contracts that are within the scope of this Standard are recognised as assets or liabilities when the holder or writer
becomes a party to the contract.
(d) Planned future transactions, no matter how likely, are not assets and liabilities because the entity has not become a party
to a contract.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised at their fair value upon initial recognition.
Concept and classification of financial assets: Categorisation of financial assets is determined based on the
business model that determines how cash flows of the financial asset are collected and can be measured at:
(a) Amortised cost
(b) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI)
(c) Fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets measured at
Amortised cost FVTOCI FVTPL
If contractual terms of the If contractual terms of the Any asset which is not
instrument give rise on instrument give rise on measured at amortised
specified dates to cash flows specified dates to cash flows cost or FVTOCI
that are solely payments of that are solely payments of (e.g investment in
principal and interest on the principal and interest on the equity instruments)
principal amount outstanding. principal amount outstanding.
AND AND
FA is held with business model FA is held with business model
(BM) whose objective is to (BM) whose objective is
hold financial assets in order achieved both by collecting
to collect contractual cash contractual cash flows and by
flows. selling financial asset.
1. Those Financial assets which have been covered under amortised cost method or FVTOCI, can opt for FVTPL method.
But this option will be irrevocable.
2. Equity instruments do not have any contractual terms that give rise to cash flows that are solely payment of principal
and interest. Therefore, investment in equity (FA) can never be classified at amortised cost/ FVTOCI. Hence equity
financial assets are always classified at FVTPL.
HOWEVER, those financial assets which have been covered under FVTPL, can opt for FVTOCI. But this option will be
irrevocable. It will be treated in the same manner, even it is sold. It means the profit or loss on sale will be directly
transferred to equity (It will not be transferred to profit and loss account)
An entity’s business model is typically observable through the activities that the entity undertakes to achieve the
objective of the business model and an entity will need to use judgement when it assesses its business model for
managing financial assets.
Entity’s business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling financial assets
or both.
Further it must be noted that this assessment is not performed on the basis of scenarios that the entity does not reasonably
expect to occur, such as so called ‘worst case’ or ‘stress case’ scenarios.
Question 1. Entity ‘X’ sells goods to customers on credit. Entity ‘X’ typically offers customers upto 60 days following the delivery
of goods to make payment in full. Entity ‘X’ collects cash in accordance with the contractual cash flows of trade receivables and
has no intention to dispose of the receivables. Evaluate the business model.
Answer: Entity X ‘s objective is to solely collect contractual cash flows from trade receivables and therefore , trade receivables
meet the business model test for the purpose of classifying the financial assets at amortised cost.
Question 2. An entity anticipates capital expenditure in a few years. The entity invests its excess cash in short and long
terms financial assets so that it can fund the expenditure when the need arises. Many of the financial assets have
contractual lives that exceed the entity’s anticipated investment period.
The entity will hold financial assets to collect the contractual cash flows and, when an opportunity arises, it will sell
financial assets to re-invest the cash in financial assets with a higher return. The managers responsible for the portfolio
are remunerated based on the overall return generated by the portfolio. Evaluate the business model.
Answer: The objective of the business model is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets.
The entity will make decisions on an ongoing basis about whether collecting contractual cash flows or selling financial assets
will maximise the return on the portfolio until the need arises for the invested cash. Hence the business model test for the
purpose of classifying the financial assets is FVTOCI.
Question 3. Silver Ltd has made an investment in optionally convertible preference shares (OCPS) of a company- Bronze Ltd at
Rs 100 per share (face value Rs 100 per share). Silver ltd has an option to convert these OCPS into equity shares in the ratio of
1:1 and if such option not exercised till the end of 9 years, then the shares shall be redeemable at the end of 10 years at
premium of 20%. Analyse the measurement of this investment in the book of Silver Ltd.
Answer: The classification assessment for a financial asset is done based on two characteristics:
i. Whether the contractual cash flows comprise cash flows that are solely payments of principal and
interest on the principal outstanding.
ii. Entity’s business model for managing financial assets – whether the company’s BM is to collect cash flows; or a BM
that involves realisation of both contractual cash flows and sale of financial assets;
iii. In all other cases, the financial assets are measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL).
In the above case, the holder can realise return either through conversion or redemption at the end of 10 years, hence it
does not indicate contractual cash flows that are solely payment of principal and interest. Therefore such investment shall
be carried at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL)
To do so, an entity is required to determine whether the asset’ contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest.
What is principal? : - Principal is the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. However, the principal amount
may change over the life of the financial asset as and when repayment of part of principal amount will be made.
Interest element/ component of interest element: - Contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal
and interest on the principal amount outstanding are consistent with the basic lending arrangement.
In a basic lending arrangement, consideration for the time value of money and credit risk are typically most significant
elements of interest.
However, in such an arrangement, interest can also include: -
• Consideration for liquidity risk.
• Administrative costs
• Profit margin
• Inflation risk of the currency in which instrument is issued(not related to any other currency)
However, exposure to changes in equity prices or commodity prices are excluded from interest rate.
Question 3. Instrument ‘F’ is a bond that is convertible into a fixed number of equity instruments of the issuer. Analyse the
nature of cash flows on the basis of contractual cash flows.
Answer: The contractual cash flows are not payments of principal and interest because they reflect a return that is inconsistent
with a basic lending arrangement. It will be treated as equity instruments for the purpose of measurement.
Question 4. Instrument D is loan with recourse (supported) and is secured by collateral. Does the collateral affect the nature
of contractual cash flows?
Answer: The fact that loan is secured by collateral does not affect the analysis of whether the contractual cash flows are solely
payment of principal and interest. The collateral is only a security to recover dues.
Subsequent measurement:
i. Amortised cost: - financial assets carrying value is subsequently adjusted for principal/Interest repayments
and interest accrued using effective interest rates.
Interest/dividend income earned is recorded and transferred to profit or loss account (SPL)
Note : in examination, if fair value is given in question, then it should be completely ignored.
ii. FVTOCI method : : financial assets are subsequently measured at Fair value. Interest/ dividend received will be
recognised in profit and loss.
In case of equity instrument: Gain or loss on fair value changes (whether realised or unrealised) will be transferred
to OCI and from there it will be transferred directly to equity. .
iii. FVTPL method: financial assets are subsequently measured at Fair value.
No entry is made for Interest/ dividend accrued separately in profit and loss account.
Gain or loss on fair value changes (whether realised or unrealised) will be transferred to profit and loss account.
Accounting of investment in debt instrument ( financial assets)
Question 5. COC Ltd provides a loan to its customers amounting to Rs 5,00,000. Interest is payable @ 10% p.a. every year and
principal will be paid on maturity. Maturity period is 3 years. Transaction cost incurred by COC Ltd is Rs 10,000. Principal

Following the principles of recognition and measurement as laid down in Ind AS 109, you are required to record the entries for the
year ended 31st December 2021, for the transaction and also compute the value of loan initially to be recognised and amortised cost
for all subsequent years. For the purpose of calculation, following discount factors at interest rate of 10% p.a. may be adopted-
Dividend received during 1st year and 2nd year were ₹40,000 and ₹25,000 respectively.
NOTE: if a financial instrument that was previously recognised as financial asset is measured at fair value through profit and
loss (FVTPL) and its fair value decreases below zero, it is a financial liability measured at fair value.

Topics covered:
(i) Business acquisition (Ins AS 103)
(ii) Business Combination under common control (Appendix C of Ind AS 103)
(iii) External reconstruction (Appendix C of Ind AS 103)
(iv) Internal reconstruction
(v) De-merger
(vi) Reverse acquisition/Merger
INTRODUCTION: --
Two new terms are used in Ind AS 103, Business Combination and Business Combination under Common Control. All the
events and arrangements such as mergers, acquisitions, absorptions, amalgamations, external reconstruction, de-merger and
reverse merger are now accommodated within these two new terms. Only events and arrangements meant like internal
reconstruction, financial restructuring or capital reduction are continuing with the same terminology as Ind AS has not
intervened on such events.
In fact, the economic events or transactions that were accounted under accounting of absorption, amalgamation and external
reconstruction continue to exist and continue to be accounted under Business Combination as per Ind AS 103, Further, Ind
As 103 on Business combination expands the scope of accounting to transaction or other event in which an acquirer
obtains control of one or more businesses, when the legal entity of the acquiree continues to exist.
Business means an integrated set of activities having three elements i.e. INPUT- PROCESS-OUTPUTS, that is capable of
being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower cost or other
economic benefit directly to the investors.
Transactions sometimes referred to as ‘true mergers’ or ‘mergers of equals’ are also business combinations as that term is used
in this Ind AS.
The accounting for all forms of business combinations are accounted for as per the provisions set out in Indian Accounting
Standard (Ind AS) 103 and AS 14.
➢ When after business combination, acquiree continues to exist, it is to be recorded in the books of the acquirer in two
sets, one for consolidated accounts and the other for its separate financial statements i.e., for its stand-alone accounts.
➢ When after business combination, acquiree ceases to exist, it is to be recorded in the books of the acquirer in one set only, in
its stand-alone accounts (it is also called individual set).
Note 1. Acquiree is the business or businesses that the acquirer obtains control of in a business combination.
Note 2. Acquirer is the entity that obtains control of the acquiree.
(a) Recognises and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any non-
controlling interest in the acquiree;
• Based on Recognition principle:

- must be exchanged as part of acquisition.
- recognise even those assets or liabilities which were not recognised by the acquiree.
(b) Recognises and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase; Acquirer
shall recognise —
• Goodwill on the acquisition date as excess of (A) over (B) and
• Gain from bargain purchase as excess of (B) over (A) as stated below:
(2) Net of acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
(c) Determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial
effects of the business combination.

When it is not clear from Ind AS 110, the following factors should be considered under Ind AS 103:
a. In a business combination effected primarily the acquirer is usually the entity that transfers the cash or other assets or
incurs the liabilities.
b. In a business combination effected primarily by exchanging equity interests, the acquirer is usually the entity that issues
its equity interests. Other pertinent facts and circumstances shall also be considered in identifying the acquirer in a
business combination effected by exchanging equity interests, including:
(a) The relative voting rights in the combined entity after the business combination —
The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose owners as a group retain or receive the largest portion of the voting
rights in the combined entity. In determining which group of owners retains or receives the largest portion of the voting
rights, an entity shall consider the existence of any unusual or special voting arrangements and options, warrants or
convertible securities.
(b) The existence of a large minority voting interest in the combined entity if no other owner or organised group of
owners has a significant voting interest-- The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose single owner or organised
group of owners holds the largest minority voting interest in the combined entity.
(c) The composition of the governing body of the combined entity — The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose
owners have the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined
entity.
(d) The composition of the senior management of the combined entity — The acquirer is usually the combining entity
whose (former) management dominates the management of the combined entity.
(e) The terms of the exchange of equity interests—The acquirer is usually the combining entity that pays a premium over
the pre-combination fair value of the equity interests of the other combining entity or entities.
(f) The acquirer is usually the combining entity whose relative size (measured in, for example, assets, revenues or profit) is
significantly greater than that of the other combining entity or entities.
(g) In a business combination involving more than two entities, determining the acquirer shall include a consideration of,
among other things, which of the combining entities initiated the combination, as well as the relative size of the
combining entities.
(h) A new entity formed to effect a business combination is not necessarily the acquirer. If a new entity is formed to issue
equity interests to effect a business combination, one of the combining entities that existed before the business
combination shall be identified as the acquirer by applying the guidance in given above paragraphs. In contrast, a new
entity that transfers cash or other assets or incurs liabilities as consideration may be the acquirer.
(B) Determining the acquisition date: It is the date on which the acquirer obtains control of the acquiree i.e.,
legally transfers the consideration, acquires the assets and assumes the liability of the acquiree. In case, it requires
government approval, acquisition date is assumed to be on date of receiving approval from government.
Question 6. COC Education ltd acquired 80% equity interest in Microsoft Ltd for cash consideration. The relevant dates are as
under:
Date of shareholder agreement -- 1st June 2024
Appointed date as per shareholder agreement – 1st April 2024
Date of obtaining control over the board representation – 1st July 2024
Date of payment of consideration -- 15th July 2024
Date of transfer of share to COC Education ltd-- 1st August 2024
Solution: in above question as the control over financial and operating policies are acquired through obtaining board
representation on 1st July 2024, it is this date that is considered as the acquisition date. It may be noted that the appointed date as
per the agreement is not considered as the acquisition date, because COC Education Ltd did not have control over Microsoft Ltd
as at that date.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON CONSIDERATION: -Consideration transferred should also be measured as per the requirement of Ind AS
103.
• The consideration transferred in a business combination shall be measured at fair value, which shall be calculated as the sum
of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, the liabilities incurred by the acquirer to former
owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the acquirer.
• The consideration transferred may include assets or liabilities of the acquirer that have carrying amounts that differ from their
fair values at the acquisition date. If so, the acquirer shall re-measure the transferred assets or liabilities to their fair values as
of the acquisition date and recognize the resulting gains or losses, if any, in profit or loss.
• Further, any items that are not part of the business combination be accounted separately from business combination
(example: acquisition related costs).
• Contingent consideration (Obligation by the acquirer to transfer additional assets or equity interest, if specified future events
occur or conditions are met), if any, should also be measured at fair value at acquisition date.
Question 7. D Ltd. has acquired 100% of the equity of F Ltd. on March 31, 2024. The purchase consideration comprises of an
immediate payment of ₹ 10 lakhs and two further payments of ₹1.21 lakhs if the Return on Equity exceeds 20% in each of the
subsequent two financial years. A discount rate of 10% is used. Compute the value of total consideration at the acquisition
date.
Solution:
Immediate cash payment 10.00
Fair value of contingent consideration [1.21/1.1 +1.21/(1.1)2] 2.10
Total purchase consideration 12.10
Question 8. Z Ltd. acquired C Ltd. on April 1, 2023. For a lawsuit contingency C Ltd. has a present obligation as on April 1,
2023 and the fair value of the obligation can be reliably measured as ₹ 50,000. Asof the acquisition date it is not believed that
an out flow of cash or other assets will be required to settlethis matter. What amount should be recorded by Z Ltd. under Ind
AS for this contingent liability of C Ltd.? (ICMAI Study material).
Solution: Contingent liabilities of the Acquiree are recognized as of the acquisition date if there is a present obligation (even if it
is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, contrary to
Ind AS 37) and the fair value of the obligation can bemeasured reliably. Hence, a liability of ₹50,000 would be recorded by Z.

Saga ltd. acquires 70% shares in Raga ltd for ₹21,00,000 payable by issue of equity shares of ₹ 10 each at premium of ₹ 2
per share. Fair value of PPE was 10% more than book value. Investments were found overvalued by 20%. Debtors of ₹
10,000 were found doubtful and provision to be made. There was contingent liability of claim disputed in court of ₹ 50,000,
which become payable and need to be provided for. Make journal entries in the book of both companies. Assuming that
NCI is to be calculated by fair value approach.
Answer: NCI 9,00,000; Goodwill 20,50,000.
Important note on Contingent liability: The acquirer shall recognise as of the acquisition date a contingent liability
assumed in a business combination if it is a present obligation that arises from past events and its fair value can be
measured reliably.
In a business combination achieved in stages, the acquirer shall re-measure its previously held equity interest in the acquiree at
its acquisition-date fair value and recognise the resulting gain or loss, if any, in profit or loss or other comprehensive income, as
appropriate.

preparing consolidated financial statements (CFS).
Common control business combinations will include transactions, such as transfer of subsidiaries or businesses, between entities
within a group. The extent of non-controlling interests in each of the combining entities before and after the business combination is
not relevant to determining whether the combination involves entities under common control. This is because a partially-owned
subsidiary is nevertheless under the control of the parent entity.
Business combinations involving entities or businesses under common control shall be accounted for using the pooling of
interests’ method. The pooling of interest method is considered to involve the following:
(i) The assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying amounts.
(ii) No adjustments are made to reflect fair values, or recognise any new assets or liabilities.
(iii) The financial information in the financial statements in respect of prior periods should be restated as if the business
combination had occurred from the beginning of the earliest period presented in the financial statements, irrespective of the
actual date of the combination. However, if business combination had occurred after that date, the prior period information
shall be restated only from that date.
The consideration for the business combination may consist of securities, cash or other assets. Securities shall be recorded at
nominal value. In determining the value of the consideration, assets other than cash shall be considered at their fair values.
The balance of the retained earnings appearing in the financial statements of the transferor is aggregated with the corresponding
balance appearing in the financial statements of the transferee. Alternatively, it is transferred to General Reserve, if any.
The identity of the reserves shall be preserved and shall appear in the financial statements of the transferee in the same form in
which they appeared in the financial statements of the transferor. Thus, for example, the General Reserve of the transferor
entity becomes the General Reserve of the transferee, the Capital Reserve of the transferor becomes the Capital Reserve of the
transferee and the Revaluation Reserve of the transferor becomes the Revaluation Reserve of the transferee.
As a result of preserving the identity, reserves which are available for distribution as dividend before the business combination
would also be available for distribution as dividend after the business combination.
The excess, if any, between the amount recorded as share capital issued plus any additional consideration in the form of cash or
other assets and the amount of share capital of the transferor is recognised as goodwill in the financial statements of the transferee
entity; in case of any deficiency, the same shall be treated as Capital Reserve.

(b) In case of amalgamation of two companies, if purchase consideration of both companies is not given.------It should be
assumed to be equal to total share capital of both acquiree company when they operated separately.
For making accounting in the book of both acquiree company separately. We should know the PC of both companies separately.
For this PC should be divided between two companies in the following ratio:-
REVERSE ACQUISITION:
A reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the acquiree for
accounting purposes. The entity whose equity interests are acquired (the legal acquiree) must be the acquirer for accounting
purposes for the transaction to be considered a reverse acquisition. For example, reverse acquisitions sometimes occur when a
private operating entity wants to become a public entity but does not want to register its equity shares. To accomplish that, the
private entity will arrange for a public entity to acquire its equity interests in exchange for the equity interests of the public
entity. In this example, the public entity is the legal acquirer because it issued its equity interests, and the private entity is the
legal acquiree because its equity interests were acquired.
However, application of the guidance in paragraphs B13–B18 of Ind AS 103 results in identifying:
(a) the public entity as the acquiree for accounting purposes (the accounting acquiree); and
(b) the private entity as the acquirer for accounting purposes (the accounting acquirer).
The accounting acquiree must meet the definition of a business for the transaction to be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, and
all of the recognition and measurement principles in Ind AS103, including the requirement to recognise goodwill, apply.
A reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the acquiree for accounting
purposes. The entity whose equity interests are acquired (the legal acquiree) must be the acquirer for accounting purposes for the
transaction to be considered a reverse acquisition.
✓ For example, reverse acquisitions sometimes occur when a private operating entity wants to become apublic entity
but does not want to register its equity shares.
✓ To accomplish that, the private entity will arrange for a public entity to acquire its equity interests inexchange for
the equity interests of the public entity.
Question 43. Entity A acquires 80% shares of Entity B and satisfies the consideration by issue of three shares of Entity A
for every share of Entity B. Market price of ₹10 share of Entity A is ₹25.
The summarized Balance Sheets:
Entity A Entity B
Net Assets 30,000 20,000
Equity 30,000 20,000
No. of Equity Shares 1000 750
Is it a reverse acquisition?
Solution: 80% of 750 = 600 shares of Entity B are acquired and Entity A issues 600 × 3 = 1800 shares to Entity
B. Now, shareholders of Entity A hold 1,000 shares and shares holders of Entity B hold 1,800 shares effectively, the
group is controlled by Entity B. This is a case of reverse acquisition.
In such case accounting will be done in books of Entity A, the legal acquirer, but it would be assumed that Entity B is the
accounting acquirer and accordingly assets and liabilities of Entity A would be identified and effective consideration would
be calculated.
Question 44. Reverse Acquisition takes place as H Ltd. acquires 100% equity shares of S Ltd on 31-03-2024. From the
following data pass journal entries and prepare balance sheet in the books of Accounting Acquirer.

Other Equity 500 1,600
Non-current Liabilities 700 1,200
Current Liabilities 800 400
Total 3,000 4,000
H Ltd. and S Ltd. shares are quoted at ₹20 and ₹50 respectively on 31-03-2024. H Ltd. issues shares in exchange ratio based on
quoted price. Fair value of non-current assets of H Ltd and S Ltd are ₹2,400 and ₹3,500 respectively.
After acquisition:
Holding of shareholders of Y Ltd in X Ltd 2,00,000 66.67%
Holding of shareholders of X Ltd in X Ltd 1,00,000 33.33%
Total 3,00,000 100%
Since holding of shareholders of Y Ltd is more than shareholders of X Ltd after acquisition, therefore it is the case of reverse
acquisition.
50,000
Total number of shares after acquisition = X 3 = 75,000 shares
2
1 50,000
For holding, number of shares to be issued= X 1 = 25,000 shares.

Hence, total deemed consideration payable to X ltd = 25,000 X 16 = ₹4,00,000

The need for reconstruction arises when a company has accumulated losses or when a company finds itself overcapitalized
which means either that the value placed on assets is too much as compared to their earning capacity or that the profits as
a whole are insufficient to pay a proper dividend. Apart from clarity, wide acceptance and justice, there construction
scheme must take in to account the following: -
The fundamental basis of any proposals is the earning power of the company. Even the interest to debenture holders
cannot be paid unless the company’s activities are profitable. A very careful estimate should, therefore, be made of the
profits expected by the company in the future. Unless the profits are sufficient to meet all the expenses including adequate
depreciation, interest to debenture holders and other creditors, preference dividend, and a reasonable return to the equity
shareholder, it would be useless to process with any reconstruction scheme because, otherwise, the need for
reconstruction will soon arise again.
Assuming that adequate profits can be expected, the reconstruction scheme should not adversely affect the rights of
preference shareholders, creditors and debenture holders unless it is absolutely necessary. Suppose, the profits are such that
after paying dividends to preference shareholders little remains for equity shareholders: the preference shareholder may be
persuaded to accept a sacrifice either by reduction of capital or by reduction in the rate of dividend or both because the
alternative to such acceptance of sacrifice may be the liquidation of the company (in which case, due to forced sale, the asset
may not realize much and the preference shareholder may not be able to get back what they have invested). If the company
is in very bad position, even the debenture holders may be requested to accept a reduction of their claims. But, so far as is
possible, contractual and legal rights and priorities should be maintained.
The equity share holder will naturally have to bear the brunt of the losses and sacrifice. This is not as bad as it sounds
because (a) the equity shareholders realize from the very beginning that if losses occur they have to bear them before
anybody else can be called upon to do so, and (b) they must have already known that the value of their holding is small due
to absence of dividend. The market price of share is related to dividend and not to the face or nominal value of the share. It
really does not matter, therefore, whether the nominal value of an equity share is ₹1 or ₹100 or ₹1,000 as long as it is not 0.
The requirements of the working capital must not be overlooked. Cash may require to pay certain dissenting creditor or even
to pay arrears of preference dividend. Generally, therefore, a company under reconstruction will have to raise funds to enable
it to pay off such dissenters and to carry on its work smoothly. Which of the various parties are willing to subscribe more
shares will have to be seen. The equity shareholders will like to consolidate their position by buying more shares. Sometimes,
outsiders are willing to subscribe to the shares but they will generally prefer to do so if they are given a controlling share.
(1) First of all the total amounts to be written off should be ascertained. This would mean totalling up the debit balance
of the Profit and Loss account, all fictitious assets like goodwill, discount on debentures, any fall in value of assets
,any increase in liabilities and arrears of dividends on cumulative preference shares. The other way to get at the
same figure would be to add up the present value as a going concern, of all the assets and deduct there from the
amount of liabilities and also the arrears of dividend on cumulative preference shares. What is left is “net assets”.
The share capital compared with net assets will show how much amount is to be written off.
(2) The question now arises as to who is to bear the loss. If the net assets are more than the preference share capital,
it is obvious the whole of the loss will have to be borne by the equity shareholders. The nominal value of the equity
shares should be reduced by a sufficient margin to cover the loss. If the net assets are not sufficient to cover the
preference share capital, the preference share holder will have to accept a sacrifice, although their sacrifice will be
smaller than that of the equity shareholders. (Equity shareholders should not be completely wiped off). If the future
earning power of the company permits, the dividend rate should be increased so that, in terms of rupees, the
dividend on preference shares remains unchanged. Thus if 10.5% preference share of ₹100 are converted into
preference share of ₹75 each, rate of dividend should be raised to 14%, if possible. In both cases, then the dividend
will be ₹10.5 per share.
(3) Payment of arrears of dividend in case of cumulative preference shares in cash immediately may present difficulties.
In such a case a good method is to issue deposit certificates. This is preferable to issuing shares because (a) it will
not upset the voting power and (b) the certificate can be redeemed as soon as opportunity arises. The rate of
interest need not be heavy, but of course, it will depend on the future earning capacity of the company.
(4) Debenture holders and other creditors are affected by the reconstruction scheme only if the total assets in the
company are insufficient to cover even the liabilities. In such circumstances, the creditors (including debenture
holders) will have to accept sacrifice unless they think that by sending the company into liquidation we will be able
to realize substantial portion of their claims. In short, the whole scheme should broadly depend upon the expected
earning power and upon the position as it likely to obtain if the company is sent to liquidation.
Internal vs. External Reconstruction: Having decided who is to bear how much sacrifice of loss and having settled the
broad details of the scheme, and important question remains to be decided. Will the reconstruction be internal or
external? External reconstruction means that the scheme will be carried out by liquidating the existing company and
incorporating immediately another company (with the name only slightly changed such as Rama Ltd., to take over the
business of the Ram Ltd(outgoing company). There are advantages in both, but generally internal reconstruction is
preferred. The advantages in its favour are: -
(a) Creditors, specially bank overdraft and debenture holders, may continue whereas they may not if the company is
formally liquidated(external reconstruction) which will involve payment of claims to outsiders, If they do not
continue, the company may suffer from want of financial assistance. This is, however, only academic since no
reconstruction scheme, even internal, will be really formulated without the consent of the bank, debenture
holders. etc.
(b) The company will be able to set off its past losses against future profits for income-tax purposes. This will materially
reduce the income-tax liability depending on the losses suffered during the preceding eight years. Losses can be
carried forward for eight years provided the business is carried on. The business will technically end when the
company is liquidated. Hence, in case of external reconstruction, losses cannot be carried forward for income tax
purposes.
(b) It may help in raising more finance by issuing to the existing shareholders partly paid shares in the new company
which is quite difficult in case of internal reconstruction.
External Reconstruction
• Reconstruction means reorganization of a company’s financial structure. In reconstruction of a company, usually
the assets and liabilities of the company are revalued, the losses suffered by the company are written off by a
deduction of the paid-up value of shares and /or varying of the rights attached to different classes of shares and
compounding with the creditors. It may be done without liquidating the company and forming a new company in
which case the process is called internal reconstruction. However, there may be external reconstruction in which
case the undertaking being carried on by the company is transferred to a newly started company consisting
substantially of the same shareholders with a view to the business of the transferor company being continued by
the transferee company. An attempt is made that the newly started company has a sound financial structure and a
good set off assets and liabilities recorded in the books of the transferee company at their fair values.
• From the point of view of an accountant, external reconstruction is similar to business combination under
common control; the books of the transferee company are closed and in the books of the transferee company, the
purchase of the business is recorded.
(ii) In external reconstruction, a new company is certainly formed where as in amalgamation a new company
may be formed or in the alternative, one of the existing companies may take over the other amalgamating
company or companies and no new company may be formed.
(iii) The objective of the external reconstruction is to reorganize the financial structure of the company, on the
other hand, the objective of the amalgamation is to cut competition and reap the economies of larger scale.

1. Concept of group: A group consists of a parent and its subsidiaries. A parent is an entity that controls one or more
entities. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by another entity.
2. Financial Statements:
There are three types of financial statements: (a) An Individual financial statement, (b) Consolidated financial statements
and (c) Separate financial statements.
(ii) Entailing joint control over the investee company (called a Joint Venture as per Ind AS 28)
(iii) Entailing control over investee company (called subsidiary company as per Ind AS 110).
➢ Ind AS 110 requires that a parent company in a group of companies shall prepare consolidated financial
statements and further it shall prepare separate financial statements as per Ind AS 27.
➢ A company having investments in associates or joint ventures prepares consolidated financial statements using
equity method of accounting as per Ind AS 28; in addition, it shall also prepare separate financial statements as per
Ind AS 27.
➢ No consolidation is required otherwise (i.e., for holding shares in investee not falling under above three clauses)and
the investor company prepares only individual/standalone financial statements.
Detail study of Ind AS- 110:
The objective of Ind AS 110 is to establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated financial
statements when an entity controls one or more other entities.
To meet the objective, Ind AS 110:
(a) requires an entity (the parent) that controls one or more other entities (subsidiaries) to present consolidated
financial statements;
(b) defines the principle of control, and establishes control as the basis for consolidation;
(c) sets out how to apply the principle of control to identify whether an investor control an investee and thereforemust
consolidate the investee;
(d) sets out the accounting requirements for the preparation of consolidated financial statements; and
(e) defines an investment entity and sets out an exception to consolidating particular subsidiaries of an investment entity.
However, a parent need not present consolidated financial statements if it meets all the following conditions:
(i) it is a wholly-owned subsidiary or is a partially-owned subsidiary of another entity and all its other owners, including
those not otherwise entitled to vote, have been informed about, and do not object to, the parent not presenting
consolidated financial statements;
(ii) (ii) its debt or equity instruments are not traded in a public market (a domestic or foreign stock exchange or an
over-the-counter market, including local and regional markets);
(iii) it did not file, nor is it in the process of filing, its financial statements with a securities commission or other regulatory
organisation for the purpose of issuing any class of instruments in a public market; and
(iv) its ultimate or any intermediate parent produces consolidated financial statements that are available for public use
and comply with Ind ASs.
An investor, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), shall determine whether it is a
parent by assessing whether it controls the investee.
An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement withthe investee
and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Thus, an investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following:
(a) power over the investee;
(b) exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
(c) the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
An investor has power over an investee when the investor has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant
activities, i.e., the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns. Power arises from rights. Sometimes, power can be
assessed straight forward from the voting rights through shareholdings. In other cases, the assessment will be more complex
when power results from one or more contractual arrangements.
If another entity (including government, court, administrator, receiver, liquidator or regulator) has existing rights to direct the
relevant activities, the investor does not have power over the investee even if it holds more than half of the voting rights in the
investee.
Case 1: An investor acquires 45 per cent of the voting rights of an investee. The remaining voting rights are held by
thousands of shareholders, none individually holding more than 1 per cent of the voting rights. None of the shareholders has
any arrangements to consult any of the others or make collective decisions. Has investor power over the investee?
Solution: In this case, on the basis of the absolute size of its holding and the relative size and arrangements of the other
shareholdings, it appears that the investor has a sufficiently dominant voting interest to conclude that the investor has power
over the investee.
Case 2: Investor A holds 40 per cent of the voting rights of an investee and twelve other investors each hold 5 per cent ofthe
voting rights of the investee. Has A power over the investee?
Solution: In this case, investor A concludes that the absolute size of the investor’s holding and the relative size of the other
shareholdings alone are not conclusive in determining whether the investor has rights sufficient to give it power. Additional
evidences are needed to be considered for concluding whether A has power over the investee. If it is not clear, that the investor
has power, the investor does not control the investee.
Case 3: Investor A holds 40 per cent of the voting rights of an investee and twelve other investors each hold 5 per cent of the
voting rights of the investee. A shareholder agreement grants investor A the right to appoint, remove and setthe remuneration
of management responsible for directing the relevant activities. To change the agreement, a two-thirds majority vote of the
shareholders is required. Has A power over the investee?
Solution: In this case, investor A concludes that the absolute size of the investor’s holding and the relative size of the other
shareholdings alone are not conclusive in determining whether the investor has rights sufficient to give it power. However,
investor A determines that its contractual right to appoint, remove and set the remuneration of management is sufficient to
conclude that it has power over the investee.
Case 4: Investor A holds 45 per cent of the voting rights of an investee. Two other investors each hold 26 per cent of thevoting
rights of the investee. The remaining voting rights are held by three other shareholders, each holding 1 per cent. There are no
other arrangements that affect decision-making. Has A power over the investee?
Solution: In this case, the size of investor A’s voting interest and its size relative to the other shareholdings are sufficient to
conclude that investor A does not have power. Only two other investors would need to co-operate to be able to prevent investor
A from directing the relevant activities of the investee.

b. Proposed dividend: It is possible that dividend has been proposed in a meeting on the closing date of the financial year
but no notification of this fact has been made in the books of the Holding company. In such a case, the amount of dividend
declared may be added to the profits of the Subsidiary company (assuming this has been deducted) and then the analysis of
profits is performed in the usual manner. No adjustment is needed in the books of the Holding company.
c. Dividends Payable: In some cases, the dividends that have been declared by the Subsidiary firm may have been adjusted for
in both the books i.e. the Subsidiary and Holding company. In this case adjustment is made in the books of the Subsidiary
company. In the books of the Holding company the dividend that are receivable from the Subsidiary company will be credited
to Profit and Loss Account of the Holding company (in terms of income receivable on investments).It is possible that these
dividends have been paid by the subsidiary firm out of Capital profit, revenue profit, combination of both profit. No
adjustment is required for consolidated balance sheet.
If the dividend of the subsidiary firm have been declared then that should be credited to the P/L A/c of the Holding Company
and of they are already included therein as per our presumption, no adjustment is required.
d. Dividend paid: The Subsidiary company may have declared a dividend in the course of the financial year and this fact has
been adjusted for in both the books and in fact the cash liability has already been met by subsidiary firm for the purpose of
dividend payment. This implies there is no liability outstanding with respect to payment of dividends therefore no adjustment on
account dividends has to be made to minority interest. With respect to Holding company has stated in point (iii) the dividend
must have been credited to P/L Account out of capital profit, revenue profit are a combination from the subsidiary company’s
books. The portion out of capital profit stated earlier will be transferred from the P/L Account of the Holding company to the
Investment account in separate financial statement.

Imp note: Parent company shall account for all amounts recognised in OCI in relation to subsidiary (when control
is lost) as if it had directly disposed of related assets and liabilities.
E.g. revaluation profit related to subsidiary transfer from OCI to other equity using Ind AS 16.
A parent might lose control of a subsidiary in two or more arrangements (transactions). However, such multiple transactions
may be accounted as a single transaction. In determining whether to account for the arrangements as a single transaction, a
parent shall consider all the terms and conditions of the arrangements and their economic effects. One or more of the following
indicate that the parent should account for the multiple arrangements as a single transaction:
(a) They are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of each other.
(b) They form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect.
(c) The occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other arrangement.
(d) One arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but it is economically justified when considered
together with other arrangements. An example is when a disposal of shares is priced below market and is compensated for by
a subsequent disposal priced above market.
Question 31. In March 2021 a group had a 60% interest in subsidiary with share capital of 50,000 ordinary shares. The carrying
amount of goodwill is Rs 20,000 at march 2021 calculated using the partial goodwill method. On 31 march 2021, an option held
by the minority shareholders exercised the option to subscribe for a further 25,000 ordinary shares in the subsidiary at Rs 12
per share, raising Rs 3,00,000. The net assets of the subsidiary in the consolidated balance sheet prior to the option’s exercise
were 4,50,000 excluding goodwill. Calculate gain or loss on loss of interest in subsidiary due to option exercised by minority
shareholders and make journal entry for giving effect. (ICAI Study material)
Question 32. A parent company purchased 80% interest in a subsidiary for Rs 1,60,000 on 1 April 2021 when the fair value of
the subsidiary’s net assets was Rs 1,75,000. Goodwill of Rs 20,000 arose on consolidation under the partial goodwill method.
An impairment of goodwill of Rs 8,000 was charged in the consolidated financial statements to 31 march 2023. No other
impairment charges have been recorded. The parent sold its investment in the subsidiary on 31 march 2024 for Rs 2,00,000.
The book value of the subsidiary, net assets in the consolidated financial statements on the date of the sale was Rs 2,25,000
(not including goodwill of Rs 12,000). When the subsidiary met the criteria to be classified as held for sale under Ind AS 105, no
write down was required because the expected fair value less cost to sell (of 100% of the subsidiary) was greater than carrying
value. The parent company carried the investment in the subsidiary at cost, as permitted by Ind AS 27. Calculate the gain or loss
on disposal of subsidiary in parent’s separate and consolidated financial statements as on 31 st March 2024 also make journal
entry in both set of books. (ICAI Study material)

2024 are as follows
Prepare consolidated balance sheet after disposal as on 31 st March 2024 when COCO Ltd group sold 90% shares of
TATA Motors Ltd to independent party for Rs 1000 lakhs.
1. Objective: The objective of Ind AS 110 is to establish principles for the presentation and preparation of consolidated
financial statements when an entity controls one or more other entities.
2. Scope: An entity that is a parent shall present consolidated financial statements, with certain exceptions as specified in the
standard.
1 Mark question for exam: S Ltd is a subsidiary of P Ltd and parent of SS Ltd and P Ltd is operating outside
India and prepares CFS as per US GAAP. Whether S Ltd is exempted from preparing CFS as per Ind AS 110.
Exception 2. Companies dealing in post- employment benefits plan or other long term benefit plan are exempted from
preparing CFS.
Exception 3. Investment entity need not present CFS if required as per this Ind AS to measure all its subsidiaries at
FVTPL. (Such entities held investments exclusively for trade).
Principle of Control: An investor shall determine whether it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee.
An investor controls an investee if and only if the investor has all the following:
(a) Power over the investee;
(b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and
(c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
An investor shall consider all facts and circumstances when assessing whether it controls an investee.
Important for exam: Two or more investors collectively control an investee when they must act together to direct
the relevant activities. In such cases, because no investor can direct the activities without the co-operation of the
others, no investor individually controls the investee. Each investor would account for its interest in the investee in
accordance with the relevant Ind ASs, such as Ind AS 111, Joint Arrangements, Ind AS 28, Investments in Associates
and Joint Ventures, or Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments.
(a) Power over the investee: An investor has power over an investee when the investor has existing rights that give it the
current ability to direct the relevant activities ( i.e. the activities that significantly affect the investee’s returns, such as voting
rights, right to appoint/remove key managerial persons, right through contractual arrangements etc)
Power arises from rights. Sometimes assessing power is straightforward, such as when power over an investee is obtained
directly and solely from the voting rights granted by equity instruments such as shares, and can be assessed by considering
the voting rights from those shareholdings. In other cases, the assessment will be more complex and require more than one
factor to be considered, for example when power results from one or more contractual arrangements.
An investor with the current ability to direct the relevant activities has power even if its right to direct have yet to be
exercised. Evidence that the investor has been directing relevant activities can help determine whether the investor has
power, but such evidence is not, in itself, conclusive in determining whether the investor has power over an investee.
If two or more investors each have existing rights that give them the unilateral ability to direct different relevant activities,
the investor that has the current ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the returns of the investee has
power over the investee
An investor can have power over an investee even if other entities have existing rights that give them the current ability to
participate in the direction of the relevant activities, for example when another entity has significant influence.
However, an investor that holds only protective rights does not have power over an investee, and consequently does not
control the investee.
NOTE -- Protective rights means right designed to protect the interest of the party holding those rights without giving that
party power over the entity to which rights relate.
(b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee: An investor is exposed, or has rights, to
variable returns from its involvement with the investee when the investor’s returns from its involvement have the potential to
vary as a result of the investee’s performance. The investor’s returns can be only positive, only negative or both positive and
negative.
Although only one investor can control an investee, more than one party can share in the returns of an investee. For example,
holders of non-controlling interests can share in the profits or distributions of an investee.
(c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns. (Link between power and
returns):
An investor controls an investee if the investor not only has power over the investee and exposure or rights to variable returns
from its involvement with the investee, but also has the ability to use its power to affect the investor’s returns from its
involvement with the investee.
Thus, an investor with decision-making rights shall determine whether it is a principal or an agent. An investor that is an agent
does not control an investee when it exercises decision-making rights delegated to it.
Illustration 1. An investor acquires 48 per cent of the voting rights of an investee. The remaining voting rights are held by
thousands of shareholders, none individually holding more than 1 per cent of the voting rights. None of the shareholders has
any arrangements to consult any of the others or make collective decisions. When assessing the proportion of voting rights
to acquire, on the basis of the relative size of the other shareholdings, the investor determined that a 48% interest would be
sufficient to give it control.
In this case, on the basis of the absolute size of its holding and the relative size of the other shareholdings, the investor
concludes that it has a sufficiently dominant voting interest to meet the power criterion without the need to consider any
other evidence of power.
Illustration 2. Investor A holds 40 per cent of the voting rights of an investee and twelve other investors each hold 5 per cent
of the voting rights of the investee. A shareholder agreement grants investor A the right to appoint, remove and set the
remuneration of management responsible for directing the relevant activities. To change the agreement, a two-thirds majority
vote of the shareholders is required. In this case, investor A concludes that the absolute size of the investor’s holding and the
relative size of the other shareholdings alone are not conclusive in determining whether the investor has rights sufficient to
give it power. However, investor A determines that its contractual right to appoint, remove and set the remuneration of
management is sufficient to conclude that it has power over the investee.
Illustration 3. Investor A holds 45 per cent of the voting rights of an investee. Two other investors each hold 26 per cent of the
voting rights of the investee. The remaining voting rights are held by three other shareholders, each holding 1 per cent. There
are no other arrangements that affect decision-making. In this case, the size of investor A’s voting interest and its size relative
to the other shareholdings are sufficient to conclude that investor A does not have power. Only two other investors would
need to co-operate to be able to prevent investor A from directing the relevant activities of the investee.
Illustration 4. Investor A holds 70 per cent of the voting rights of an investee. Investor B has 30 per cent of the voting rights of
the investee as well as an option to acquire half of investor A’s voting rights. The option is exercisable for the next two years at
a fixed price that is deeply out of the money (and is expected to remain so for that two-year period). Investor A has been
exercising its votes and is actively directing the relevant activities of the investee.
In such a case, investor A is likely to meet the power criterion because it appears to have the current ability to direct the
relevant activities. Although investor B has currently exercisable options to purchase additional voting rights (that, if exercised,
would give it a majority of the voting rights in the investee), the terms and conditions associated with those options are such
that the options are not considered substantive.
Illustration 5. Investor A and two other investors each hold a third of the voting rights of an investee. The investee’s business
activity is closely related to investor A. In addition to its equity instruments, investor A also holds debt instruments that are
convertible into ordinary shares of the investee at any time for a fixed price that is out of the money (but not deeply out of the
money). If the debt were converted, investor A would hold 60 per cent of the voting rights of the investee. Investor A would
benefit from realising synergies if the debt instruments were converted into ordinary shares.
Investor A has power over the investee because it holds voting rights of the investee together with substantive potential voting
rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities.
Illustration 6. The only assets of an investee are receivables. When the purpose and design of the investee are considered, it is
determined that the only relevant activity is managing the receivables upon default. The party that has the ability to manage the
defaulting receivables has power over the investee, irrespective of whether any of the borrowers have defaulted.
3. ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENTS
(A) A parent shall prepare CFS using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events in similar
circumstances. Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of the investee and cease when
the investor loses control of the investee.
(B) A parent shall present non-controlling interests in the consolidated balance sheet within equity, separately from the equity of
the owners of the parent. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of
the subsidiary are equity transactions (ie transactions with owners in their capacity as owners).
(C) Consolidation procedures of preparing Consolidated financial statements:
(i) Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries.
(ii) Offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each
subsidiary.
(iii) eliminate in full intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between
entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from intra-group transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and
fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intra-group losses may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated
financial statements. Ind AS 12, Income Taxes, applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of profits and
losses resulting from intragroup transactions.
(Important for exam) If a member of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial
statements for like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that group member’s
financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure conformity with the group’s accounting policies.
Illustration 7. A Ltd. uses WDV method of depreciation. It acquires 80% shares of B Ltd. which follows SLM of depreciation.
How will the PPE both the companies be depreciated for CFS of A Ltd?
Answer: Depreciation method is not a policy but estimate (Ref. Ind AS 16 and Ind AS 8). Uniformity of accounting policies as
per Ind AS 110 is not violated for using different methods of depreciation. A Ltd. can depreciate its PPE under WDV method and
B Ltd.’s PPE under SLM in the CFS.
1. An entity includes the income and expenses of a subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements from the date it gains
control until the date when the entity ceases to control the subsidiary. Income and expenses of the subsidiary are based on
the amounts of the assets and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date. For
example, depreciation expense recognised in the consolidated statement of profit and loss after the acquisition date is based
on the fair values of the related depreciable assets recognised in the consolidated financial statements at the acquisition date.
2. When potential voting rights, or other derivatives containing potential voting rights, exist, the proportion of profit or
loss and changes in equity allocated to the parent and non-controlling interests in preparing consolidated financial
statements is determined solely on the basis of existing ownership interests and does not reflect the possible exercise or
conversion of potential voting rights and other derivatives.
3. Ind AS 109 does not apply to interests in subsidiaries that are consolidated. When instruments containing potential voting
rights in substance currently give access to the returns associated with an ownership interest in a subsidiary, the instruments
are not subject to the requirements of Ind AS 109. In all other cases, instruments containing potential voting rights in a
subsidiary are accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 109.
4. The financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries used in the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements shall have the same reporting date. When the end of the reporting period of the parent is different from that
of a subsidiary, the subsidiary prepares, for consolidation purposes, additional financial information as of the same date as
the financial statements of the parent to enable the parent to consolidate the financial information of the subsidiary, unless
it is impracticable to do so.
5. If it is impracticable to do so, the parent shall consolidate the financial information of the subsidiary using the most recent
financial statements of the subsidiary adjusted for the effects of significant transactions or events that occur between the
date of those financial statements and the date of the consolidated financial statements. In any case, the difference between
the date of the subsidiary’s financial statements and that of the consolidated financial statements shall be no more than
three months, and the length of the reporting periods and any difference between the dates of the financial statements shall
be the same from period to period.
6. An entity shall attribute the profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income to the owners of the parent
and to the non-controlling interests. The entity shall also attribute total comprehensive income to the owners of the parent
and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Investment Entity:
(I) A parent shall determine whether it is an investment entity. An investment entity is an entity that:
(a) obtains funds from one or more investors for the purpose of providing those investor(s) with investment management services;
(b) commits to its investor(s) that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for returns from capital appreciation, investment
income, or both; and
(c) measures and evaluates the performance of substantially all of its investments on a fair value basis.
(II) An investment entity shall not consolidate its subsidiaries or apply Ind AS 103 when it obtains control of another entity.
Instead, an investment entity shall measure an investment in a subsidiary at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) in accordance
with Ind AS 109.
However, if an investment entity has a subsidiary that provides services that relate to the investment entity’s investment activities
it shall consolidate that subsidiary in accordance with Ind AS 110 and apply the requirements of Ind AS 103 to the acquisition of
any such subsidiary.
(III) A parent of an investment entity shall consolidate all entities that it controls, including those controlled through an investment
entity subsidiary, unless the parent itself is an investment entity.
Objectives: The objective of Ind AS 111 is to establish principles for financial reporting by entities that have an interest in joint
arrangements.
Scope: This Ind AS shall be applied by all entities that are a party to a joint arrangement, whether or not it has joint control.
Meaning of Joint Arrangement: A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which two or more parties have joint control.
An arrangement can be a joint arrangement even though not all of its parties have joint control of the arrangement.
At least two of all the parties must have joint control.
Note: Arrangement means agreement (or contract) which may be oral, written or implied.
Meaning of Joint Control: Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only
when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Note: At least two of all the parties must have shared control as joint operators or joint venturers.
Question 1. X Ltd and Y Ltd form a new joint arrangement (JA Ltd). Article of association of JA Ltd include a clause that states all
shareholders must unanimously agree on the relevant activities of the entity.
No other agreement is entered into by the shareholders to manage the activities of JA Ltd. should the arrangement satisfy
contractual arrangement test of Ind AS 111 to define the arrangement of joint arrangement?
Answer: The clause included in articles of association of JA Ltd is sufficient for the definition of a Joint arrangement to be met
as per Ind AS 111. It is assumed that articles of association of JA Ltd is in order as per the companies Act and are legally binding.
Question 2. Entity C and entity D operates in a telecommunication industry and entered into a joint arrangement in order to
combine their 5G access networks. The purpose of this arrangement is to reduce operating cost for both parties, make capital
infrastructure savings and obtain economies of scale from jointly managing and maintaining a consolidated network.
All significant decisions about strategic investing and financing activities are decided by a simple majority of the voting rights.
Entity C and entity D each have one vote in the decision making process. Discuss whether it is a joint arrangement or not.
Answer: The contractual arrangement does not explicitly require unanimous consent, but the fact that all decisions must be
made by majority leads to implicit joint control.
Since all decisions about the relevant activities require consent of both parties, so the arrangement is a joint
arrangement.
Question 3. STD Ltd is owned by numerous shareholders with the following holdings:
A owns 51%, B owns 30% and the rest of the shares are widely held by other investors altogether 19%.
STD Ltd’s AOA require a 75% majority to approve decision about any of the entity’s relevant activities. They also outline that
each shareholder is entitled to vote in proportion to its respective ownership interest. Is STD Ltd jointly controlled?
Answer: STD Ltd is jointly controlled by shareholders A and B based on their ownership interest (collectively 81%), they must act
together to make decisions regarding STD Ltd’ relevant activities.
Shareholder A does not control STD Ltd, as it cannot unilaterally make decisions because a 75% majority is required.
Question 4. Two entities E and F, set up an entity and signed a joint operating agreement. The board contains three directors
appointed by and representing each entity. The board is the entity’s main decision-making body. Decisions are made by simple
majority. Each party has a 50% interest in the net profit generated. Discuss whether the entity is jointly controlled by E and F.
Answer: Entities E and F are likely to have joint control, because each party has a 50% interest in net profit and both have a right
to appoint three directors.
This is because the three directors representing a single shareholder would generally be presumed to vote in accordance with
the wishes of the shareholder.
So, the consent of both entity E and F would be required for decision making and this would represent joint control.
Question 5. Company AB and company CD enter into an agreement for the production and sale of garments. In the industry,
there are three activities that will significantly make impact on the return of the arrangements:
i. Production of the garments: company AB makes all the decisions for this activity.
ii. Sales and marketing activities: company CD makes all the decisions for these activities.
iii. Both the companies must approve all financial related matters.
Discuss whether company AB and CD have joint control over the arrangement?
Answer: In the first two matters, unanimous consent is not required as long as parties are working within the approved budgets
and financial constraints. Thus, the parties have liberty to perform their respective responsibilities.
Here, the parties have to examine which of the three activities most significantly affect the returns of the arrangement.
If any of the first two activities determine the profits of the arrangement significantly, there is no joint control over the
arrangement.
However, there may be the case where the financial policies majority impact the execution of other two activities and hence
determine the profit of the arrangement.
Since unanimous consent is required for the financial policies, management may conclude that there is joint control.
Question 6. There is an arrangement in which Ram and Shyam each have 35% of the voting rights in the arrangement with the
remaining 30% being widely dispersed. Decision about the relevant activities require approval by a majority of the voting
rights. Do Ram and Shyam have joint control over the arrangement?
Answer: Ram and Shyam have joint control over the arrangement only if the contractual arrangement specifies that decisions
about the relevant activities of the arrangement require both Ram and Shyam agreeing.
Answer: Om can block any decision, it does not control the arrangement because it needs the agreement of either Jay or
Jagdish.
Om, Jay and Jagdish collectively control the arrangement. However there is more than one combination of parties that can
agree to reach 75% of the voting rights( i.e. either Om and Jay or Om and Jagdish).
In such a situation, to be a joint arrangement the contractual arrangement between the parties would need to specify which
combination of the parties is required to agree unanimously to take decisions about the relevant activities of the
arrangement.
Question 8. Hari and Ram enter into a contractual arrangement to buy a two storied building, which they will lease to other
parties.
Hari will be responsible for leasing first floor and Ram will be responsible for leasing second floor. They can make all
decisions related to their respective floor and keep all the income with respect to their floor.
Ground floor will be jointly managed. All decisions with respect to ground floor must be unanimously agreed between Hari
and Ram. Discuss the applicability of Ind AS 111.
Question 9. Electronics Ltd. is established by two investors R Ltd. and S Ltd. The investors are holding 60% and 40% of the voting
power of the investee respectively.
As per the articles of association of Electronics Ltd., both the investors have right to appoint 2 directors each on the
board of Electronics Ltd. The directors appointed by each investor will act ni accordance with the directions of the investor who
has appointed such director. Further, articles of association provides that the decision about relevant activities of the entity will be
taken by board of directors through simple majority.
Determine whether Electronics Ltd. is controlled by a single investor or is jointly controlled by both the investors.
Answer: The decisions about relevant activities are required to be taken by majority of board of directors. Hence, out of the 4
directors, at least 3 directors need to agree to pass any decision. Accordingly, the directors appointed by any one investor cannot
take the decisions independently without the consent of at least one director appointed by other investor. Hence, Electronics Ltd. is
jointly controlled by both the investors. R Ltd. holding majority of the voting rights is not relevant in this case since the voting rights
do not given power over the relevant activities of the investee
Question 10. Entity A and Entity B established a contractual arrangement whereby the decision related to relevant activities are required
to be taken by unanimous consent of both the parties. However, in case of any dispute with any vendor or customer of the arrangement,
entity A has right to take necessary decisions for the resolution of disputes including decisions of going for the arbitration or filing a
suit in court of law. Whether the arrangement is a joint arrangement?
Answer: The arrangement is a joint arrangement since the contractual arrangement requires decisions about relevant activities to be
taken by unanimous consent of both the parties. The right available with entity A to take decisions for resolution of disputes will not
prevent the arrangement from being a joint arrangement.
Type of Joint Arrangement: An entity shall determine the type of joint arrangement in which it is involved. A joint
arrangement is either:
(a) a joint operation, or
(b) a joint venture.
The classification of a joint arrangement as a joint operation or a joint venture depends upon the rights and obligations of the parties
to the arrangement.
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the
assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are called joint operators.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net
assets of the arrangement. Those parties are called joint venturers.
ii. When the joint arrangement is structured through separate vehicle (i.e. separate entity), then we should also consider the
terms of contractual arrangement. (i.e. whether parties have claim over assets and liabilities or net assets)
Example of joint operation: Gas pipeline connects two points between Mumbai and Pune by distance of about of 150 km.
Gas pipeline is owned jointly along with equipment by two companies A Ltd and B Ltd. the joint operation states that the
maintenance of the oil pipeline will also be shared on an equal basis by two parties. Each party will recognise his share in
pipeline in Balance sheet and include his share of expenses in the statement of profit and loss.
Example of joint venture: Assume that two parties structure a joint arrangement in an incorporated entity. Each party has a
50% ownership interest in the incorporated entity. The incorporation enables the separation of the entity from its owners and
as a consequence, the assets and liabilities held in the entity are the assets and liabilities of the incorporated entity. In such a
case, the assessment of the rights and obligations conferred upon the parties by the legal form of the separate vehicle indicates
that the parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement and the joint arrangement is classified as Joint Venture.
Question 11. P Ltd. and Q Ltd. are two construction entities and they have entered into a contractual arrangement to jointly
construct a metro rail project.
The construction of metro rail project involves various activities such as construction of infrastructure (like metro station, control
room, pillars at the centre of the road, etc.) for the metro, laying of the tracks, acquiring of the coaches of the metro, etc. The total length
of the metro line to be constructed is 50 kms. As per the arrangement, both the parties are responsible to construct 25 kms each. Each
party is required to incur its own cost, use its own assets, incur the liability and has right to the revenue from their own part of the
work. Determine whether the arrangement is a joint operation or not?
Answer: The arrangement is a joint operation since the arrangement is not structured through a separate vehicle and each party has
rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities relating to their own part of work in the joint arrangement.
Question 12. RS Ltd. and MN Ltd. entered into a contractual arrangement to run a business of providing cars of hire. The cars will be
owned by both the parties jointly. The expenses to run the car (like driver salary, petrol, maintenance, insurance, etc.) and revenues
from the business will be shared between both the parties as agreed in the contractual arrangement. Determine whether the
arrangement is a joint operation or not?
Answer: The arrangement is a joint operation since the arrangement is not structured through a separatevehicle.
Question 13. Two entities have established a partnership firm with each party having 50% share in the netprofits of the firm.
Assuming that the arrangement meets the definition of a joint arrangement, determine whether the joint arrangement is a joint
operation or a joint venture?
Answer: In this case, the parties to the arrangement should evaluate whether the legal form creates separation between the partners
and the partnership firm. If the parties conclude that they have rights in the assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the
partnership firm then this wouldbe a joint operation. If the assessment of legal form of the partnership firm indicates that the firm is
a joint operation then there is no need to evaluate any other factors and it is concluded that the partnership firm is a joint operation.
A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation shall also account for its interest in the
arrangement in accordance with above paragraph, if that party has rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities,
relating to the joint operation.
Further, if a party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint operation does not have rights to the assets,
and obligations for the liabilities, relating to that joint operation, it shall account for its interest in the joint operation in
accordance with the Ind AS applicable to that interest.(Either Ind AS 28 or Ind AS 109)
Question 14. P and Q form a joint arrangement PQ using a separate vehicle. P and Q each own 50% of the capital of PQ. However, the contractual
terms of the joint arrangement states that P has the rights to all of Machinery and the obligation to pay Bank Loan in PQ. P and Q have rights to all
other assets in PQ and obligations for all other liabilities in PQ in proportion to their share of capital (i.e. 50% each).
PQ’s balance sheet is as follows:
BALANCE SHEET of PQ
Liabilities Assets
Capital 1,50,000 Machinery 2,50,000
Bank Loan 75,000 Cash 50,000
Other Loan 75,000
3,00,000 3,00,000
How should P record in its financial statements its rights and obligations in PQ?
Answer: Under Ind AS 111, P should record the following in its financial statements, to account for its rights in the assets of PQ and its
obligations for the liabilities of PQ.
Machinery 2,50,000
Cash 25,000
Capital 75,000
Bank Loan 75,000
Other Loan 37,500
(b) A party that participates in, but does not have joint control of, a joint venture shall account for its interest in the
arrangement in accordance with Ind AS 109, Financial Instruments, unless it has significant influence over the joint venture, in
which case it shall account for it in accordance with Ind AS 28.
(b) In separate financial statement: In its separate financial statements, a joint ventures shall account for its interest in a
joint venture in accordance Ind AS 27.
Accounting by an entity that is a party to the joint venture but does not have joint control:

separate and consolidated financial statements as follows:
Whether the party has significant influence over the joint venture?
Yes No
Account in separate and consolidated financial statements as per Account as per requirements of Ind AS 109
Ind AS 27and Ind AS 28 respectively

(b) Show the relevant accounting treatment at the end of the year for:
Solution: Journal Entry on 01.04.2023 for, both, Consolidated and separate financial statements:
For consolidated accounts Ind AS 28 requires the recognition of investment by equity method.
Scope:- This Standard shall be applied by all entities that are investors with joint control of, or significant influence over, an
investee.
Definitions:
i. An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence.
ii. Significant influence:- Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of
the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies.
If an entity holds, directly or indirectly (eg through subsidiaries), 20% or more of the voting power of the investee, it is presumed
that the entity has significant influence, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.
The existence of significant influence by an entity is usually evidenced in one or more of the following ways:
(a) representation on the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the investee;
(b) participation in policy-making processes, including participation in decisions about dividends or other distributions;
(c) material transactions between the entity and its investee;
(d) interchange of managerial personnel; or
(e) provision of essential technical information.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable are also considered while assessing whether an
entity has significant influence.
Potential voting rights which are not currently exercisable, for example, they cannot be exercised or converted until a future date
or until the occurrence of a future event. Such voting rights are not considered for evaluating significant influence.
Adjustments to the carrying amount may also be necessary for changes in the investor’s proportionate interest in the investee
arising from changes in the investee’s other comprehensive income (OCI).

(b) Pass the journal entries in books of P at the time of purchase of shares.
(c) Show the relevant accounting treatment at the end of the year for (i) consolidated financial statements, (ii) separate
financial statements and (iii) Individual financial statements of P. (ICMAI STUDY MATERIAL)
Solution:
(a) In cases I, II and III, P Ltd. requires preparation of consolidated financial statements for its investment in Q Ltd. In
case I, Q is an Associate because P has significant influence in Q by virtue of its 20% voting power through holding of
20% shares in Q. In case II, Q is a joint venture in which P has joint control.
In case III, Q is a joint venture in which P does not have joint control, but has significant influence. For each of the above cases,
Ind AS 28 requires that accounting for investment in associate or in joint venture (having joint control or significant influence)
should be made under equity method in the consolidated financial statement.
Ind AS 28 also requires P the investor company to prepare separate financial statement as per Ind AS 27. For cases IV and V,
P requires preparation of Individual financial statements.
(b) Journal Entry for cases I, II and III for Consolidated and separate financial statements:
Investment Dr. 46,000
To Cash 46,000
Journal Entry for cases IV and V: As per Ind AS 109 for Individual financial statements.
At initial measurement:
Investment Dr. 46,000
To Cash 46,000
(c) For cases I, II and III: There will be two sets of accounting at the end the year, one (i) for consolidated accounts and
the other (ii) for separate financial statements.
(i) For consolidated accounts Ind AS 28 requires the recognition of investment by equity method. At the yearend
in consolidated accounts of P Ltd., adjustments are made to the Investment and income accounts as per equity method:
Investment Dr. 6,000
To Profit and Loss 4,000
To Other Comprehensive Income 2,000
Working Note: Change in investee’s net assets = 20,000+10,000 = 30,000; share of P = 20% of 30,000 = 6,000.
Investor’s Profit or loss includes 20% of 20,000 = 4,000 and
other comprehensive income includes 20% of 10,000 = 2,000.
(ii) The year end for the separate financial statements of P, Investment is valued at cost at Rs. 46,000 or at a value as per Ind AS
109,( ie., at fair value through OCI).
(iii) For cases IV and V: As per Ind AS 109, (ie., at fair value through OCI) in Individual financial statements.
(d) The ultimate or any intermediate parent of the entity produces consolidated financial statements available for public
use that comply with Ind ASs.
ii. When an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by an entity that is a venture capital organisation, or a
mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect to measure
investments in those associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss(FVTPL) in accordance with Ind AS
109.
iii. When an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital
organisation, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may
elect to measure investments in those associates and joint ventures at fair value through profit or loss(FVTPL) in
accordance with Ind AS 109.
Question 7: MNO Ltd holds 15% of the voting power of DEF Ltd. PQR Mutual fund (which is subsidiary of MNO Ltd) also holds
10% voting power of DEF Ltd. Hence MNO Ltd holds total 25% voting power of DEF Ltd and accordingly has significant influence
over DEF Ltd. how should MNO Ltd account for investment in DEF Ltd in its consolidated financial statements.
Answer: The 15% interest which is held directly by MNO Ltd should be measured as per equity method of accounting. However,
with respect to the 10% interest which is held through a mutual fund, MNO Ltd, can avail the exemption from applying the equity
method to that 10% interest and instead measure that investment at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Classification as held for sale: An entity shall apply Ind AS 105 to an investment, or a portion of an investment, in an
associate or a joint venture that meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.
Discontinuing the use of the equity method: -- An entity shall discontinue the use of the equity method from the

7. XBRL Reporting
Sustainable development was identified by the Brundtland Commission of the United Nations in 1987. The need was felt by
the various entities to incorporate the concept of sustainability, in their financial reporting framework.
Many large corporations such as The Boeing Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers, The Procter & Gamble Company, Sony
Corporation, and Toyota Motor Corporation etc. have joined with many others to create the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
Sustainability Reporting is defined as “an organization’s practice of reporting publicly on its economic, environmental, and
social impacts, and hence its contributions (positive or negative) towards the goal of sustainable development.
There are three forms/aspects of sustainability that are considered by the organisations are:
• Social sustainability activities focus on maintaining mutually beneficial relationships with employees, customers, suppliers
and the community. These activities often have benefits in terms of positive profile and customer and community support.
• Environmental sustainability activities focus on the impact of resource usage, hazardous substances, waste and emissions
on the physical environment. These activities may have a direct benefit for a business by reducing costs.
• Economic sustainability activities focus on business efficiency, productivity and profit.
Through this process, an organization identifies its significant impacts on the economy, the environment and society and
discloses them in accordance with a globally accepted standard.
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. (Brundt land)
It suggests that sustainability reporting should recognise the interdependence of economic, social and environmental
factors; and the importance of inter-generational timescales.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is considered as the best-known framework for voluntary reporting of environmental
and social performance by business and other organizations worldwide.
Guidance and standards of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) are the most widely used framework of sustainability reporting.
As per GRI “materiality” is a key principle for reporting. Materiality is achieved when a report covers topics, which “can
reasonably be considered important for reflecting the organization’s economic, environmental, and social impacts, or
influencing the decisions of stakeholders.”
NOTE: As per 2016 syllabus, 3P bottom line is given in ICMAI Study material. But now the concept of 4P
is also relevant. It may be asked in the upcoming exam. Therefore, in video lecture I have covered both,
3P as well as 4P bottom line reporting.
4P Bottom Line or Quadruple bottom line (QBL) reporting is an extension of 3P bottom line or triple
bottom line(TPL) reporting. It is also referred to as “QBL,” “4PBL,” “People, Planet, Profit and Purpose”.
A leather tanning firm may report a financial profit, but their output may cause adverse health effect,and pollute the nearby
water reserves; and the government may end up spending the taxpayer money on health careand environmental clean-up. Now
the question that arises in the mind of the proponents of full-cost accounting is ‘How do we perform a full societal cost
benefit analysis?’ In this respect, the 4P bottom line adds three more “bottom lines”, namely, people (social) and planet
(environmental/ecological) and purpose (spiritual) concerns.
The concept of ‘4P bottom line ‘incorporates two technical terminologies – ‘Quadruple’ and ‘Bottom
Line’.
We first understand these two for better understanding of the concept of 4P bottom line reporting.
• Quadruple: The Quadruple bottom line concept requires an organisation to measure and report on four dimensions viz.
social, environmental, economic/ financial and spiritual performance of the organisation.
• Bottom Line: The “bottom line” refers to the “operating result”, which is usually recorded at the very last line (or, bottom)
of the income statement.
QBL reporting refers to the publication of economic, environmental and social and spiritual information in an integrated
manner that reflects activities and outcomes across these four dimensions of a company’s performance.
Quadruple bottom line reporting (QBLR) expands the traditional reporting framework to take into account
social, environmental and spiritual performance in addition to financial performance at bottom line.
The benefits emerging from 4P bottom line reporting are discussed hereunder:
(i) Enhancement of reputation and brand: Effective communication with stakeholders on one or more of the environmental,
social, and economic dimensions can play an important role in managing stakeholder perceptions and, in doing so, protect and
enhance corporate reputation.
(ii) Securing a social license to operate: Communities and stakeholders generally, are likely to be more supportive of companies
that communicate openly and honestly about their management and performance in relation to environmental, social and
economic factors and spiritual.
(iii) Attraction and retention of high calibre employees: Existing and prospective employees have expectationsabout corporate
environmental, social and economic behaviour, and include such factors in their decisions regarding working for an
organisation.
(iv) Improved access to investor market: A growing number of investors are including environmental and social factors within
their decision-making processes. The growth in socially responsible investment and shareholder activism is evidence of this.
(v) Establish position as a preferred supplier: Obtaining a differentiated position in the market place is one way to establish
the status of preferred supplier. Effectively communicating with stakeholder groups on 4P’s issues is central to obtaining a
differentiated position in the market place.
(vi) Reduced risk profile: The performance in respect of 4P has the capacity to affect the views of market participants about a
company’s exposure to, and management of risk. A communication policy that addresses these issues can play an important
role in the company’s overall risk management strategy.
(vii) Identification of potential cost savings: The 4P Bottom Line reporting often involves the collection and analysisof data on
resource and materials usage, and the assessment of business processes. This can enable a company to better identify
opportunities for cost savings through more efficient use of resources and materials.
(viii) Increased scope for innovation: The development of innovative products and services can be facilitated through the
alignment of R&D activity with the expectations of stakeholders. The process of publishing 4P Bottom Line reporting provides
a medium by which companies can engage with stakeholders and understand their priorities and concerns.
(ix) Aligning stakeholder needs with management focus: External reporting of information focuses management attention on
not only the integrity of the data but also the continuous improvement of the indicator being reported.
(x) Creation of sound basis for stakeholder dialogue: Publication of The 4P Bottom Line reporting provides a powerful platform
for engaging in dialogue with stakeholders. Understanding stakeholder requirements and alignmentof business performance
with such requirements is fundamental to business success.
(xi) Altruism and happiness of the stakeholders: The 4th P ‘Purpose’ makes business contribute to one’s spirituality by serving
a unique purpose in addition to financial, social, and environmental returns.
What is CSR?
The WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development) defines Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as “the
continuing commitment by business to contribute to economic development while improving the quality of life of the
workforce and their families as well as of the community and society at large.”
CSR is generally understood as being the way through which a company achieves a balance of economic, environmental,
social and purpose imperatives, while at the same time addressing the expectations of shareholders and stakeholders.”
CSR in India: The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India notified the Section 135 of the Companies Act,
2013 along with Companies (Corporate Social Responsibility Policy) Rules, 2014 “hereinafter CSR Rules” which makes it
mandatory (with effect from 1st April, 2014) for certain companies who fulfil the criteria as mentioned under Sub Section 1
of Section 135 to comply with the provisions relevant to Corporate Social Responsibility.
As per the said section, the companies having Net worth of INR 500 crore or more; or Turnover of INR 1000 crore or more;
or Net Profit of INR 5 crore or more during any financial year shall be required to constitute a Corporate Social
Responsibility Committee of the Board “hereinafter CSR Committee” with effect from 1st April, 2014.
Note: The section has used the word “companies” which shall also include the foreign companies having branch or project
offices in India.
III. All such companies shall spend, in every financial year, at least two per cent of the average net profits of the company
made during the three immediately preceding financial years, in pursuance of its Corporate Social Responsibility Policy.
It has been clarified that the average net profits shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 198 of
the Companies Act, 2013.
CSR Activities: Activities may be included by the company in their CSR Policy as per Schedule VII of the Companies
Act, 2013:

if any, shall be as per annexure attached to the CSR Rules.
Concept/Meaning/features of IR:
• Integrated reporting (IR) is the latest development in a long line of proposed reporting innovations that have
sought to improve the usefulness of corporate reporting.
• International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) launched IR as a global framework in December 2013.
• Integrated reporting refers to representation of the financial and non-financial performance of a company in a
single report.
• IR provides non-financial data such as how the company performs on environmental, social and governance (ESG)
parameters, how sustainability is embedded in the core business strategy etc.
• IR aims to provide a more holistic form of reporting (i.e the total value created by a business) by considering non-
financial resources such as human, social and intellectual capitals along with financial capital.
• The primary objective of integrated reporting is to help stakeholders analyse and assess the company’s ability to
create and sustain value in the medium and long term. This creates a shift in focus from meeting short-term
financial goals, to developing a long-term business strategy.
Value Creation and Six Capitals: For value creation companies should expand their reporting beyond the financial
capital, to include all the resources they use as inputs to their business activities. The IIRC uses the term “capitals” to
denote these various resources, with six capitals identified as follows:
• Financial capital: Financial capital is broadly understood as the pool of funds available to an organization. This includes
both debt and equity finance. This description of financial capital focuses on the source of funds, rather than its
application.
• Manufactured capital is seen as human-created, production-oriented equipment and tools. A distinction is drawn
between inventory (as a short-term asset) and plant and equipment (tangible capital).
• Intellectual capital is a key element in an organization’s future earning potential. It includes investment in R&D,
innovation, human resources and external relationships.
• Human Capital: - It is “generally understood to consist of the individual’s capabilities, and the knowledge, skills and
experience of the company’s employees and managers, as they are relevant to the task at hand, as well as the capacity
to add to this reservoir of knowledge, skills, and experience through individual learning”.
• Social capital: - Social capital means “networks together with shared norms, values and understandings that facilitate
co-operation within or among groups”.
• “Natural capital includes the land, water, atmosphere, and the many natural resources they contain, including
ecological systems with living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components”.
• increase engagement with internal and external stakeholders through consistent and balanced reporting
Challenges to IR:
Who will provide assurance to Integrated Reports?
There is no internationally acceptable standard or framework for IR measuring and quantifying. non-financial metrics and
then integrating them with financial performance are complex tasks.
Introduction:
In 2012, the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) passed a circular amongst the top 100 companies, making it mandatory
for them to report their environmental, social and governance initiatives.
This report, Business Responsibility Report (BRR), has to be filed as part of their annual reports based on nine principles of
National Voluntary Guidelines (NVG).
At the time of introduction, only the top-100 BSE-listed firms were required to present BRRs as part of annual reports. In 2016,
after signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Global Reporting Initiative, the mandate was extended to top-500
BSE listed companies.
These nine principles aim to cover all aspects which hold significant importance in business operations and sustainability. The
principles complement the guidelines and further act as a pathway for flexible and quality reporting standards.
The annual report shall contain a business responsibility report describing the initiatives taken by the listed entity for an
environmental, social and governance perspective, in the format as specified by the Board.
Those listed entities which have been submitting sustainability reports to overseas regulatory agencies/stakeholders based
on internationally accepted reporting frameworks need not prepare a separate report for the purpose of these guidelines but
only furnish the same to their stakeholders along with a mapping of the principles contained in these guidelines to the
disclosures made in their sustainability reports.
Nine Principles to Assess Compliance with Environmental, Social and Governance Norms as per National Voluntary Guidelines
(NVG) :-
Principle 1: Businesses should conduct and govern themselves with Ethics, Transparency and Accountability.
Principle 2: Businesses should provide goods and services that are safe and contribute to sustainability throughout their life cycle.
Principle 4: Businesses should respect the interests of, and be responsive towards all stakeholders, especially those who are
disadvantaged, vulnerable and marginalized.
Principle 6: Business should respect, protect, and make efforts to restore the Environment.
Principle 7: Businesses, when engaged in influencing public and regulatory policy, should do so in a responsible manner.
Principle 9: Businesses should engage with and provide value to their customers and consumers in a responsible manner.
The basic idea behind XBRL is that instead of treating financial information as a block of text or numeric items, a unique
electronically readable tag is attached to each individual financial term.
(a) Extensible: This term implies that the user can extend the application of a particular business data beyond its original
intended purpose. The major advantage in it is that the extended use can be determined even by the users and not
just the ones who merely prepare the business data. This is achieved by adding tags which are both human and
machine readable – describing what the data is.
(b) Business: This platform is relevant to any type of business transaction. It is to be noted that XBRL focus is on describing
the financial statements for all kinds of entities.
(c) Reporting: The intention behind promoting the use of XBRL is to have all companies report their financial statements
in a consolidated manner using the specified formats.
(d) Language: XBRL is based on ‘extensible Markup Language’ (XML). It is one of a family of “XML” languages which is
becoming a standard means of communicating information between businesses and on the internet. It prescribes the
manner in which the data can be “marked-up” or “tagged” to make it more meaningful to human readers as well as to
computers-based system.
As per Companies (Filing of Documents and Forms in Extensible Business Reporting Language) Rules, 2015, Extensible
Business Reporting Language” (XBRL), means a standardised language for communication in electronic form to express,
report or file financial information by the companies under the Act (i.e., Companies Act, 2013).
TAXANOMY can be referred as Electronic Dictionary of reporting concept/element used by the XBRL community. They
define the specific tags that are used for individual items of data (such as “net profit”), their attributes and their
interrelationships.
As per Companies (Filing of Documents and Forms in Extensible Business Reporting Language) Rules, 2015, taxonomy
means in XBRL, an electronic dictionary for reporting the business data as approved by the Central Government in respect
of any documents or forms indicated in these rules.
Taxonomy and accurate data tags allow preparation, validation, publication, exchange, consumption and analysis of
business information of all kinds.
Different taxonomies will be required for different business reporting purposes. Some national jurisdictions may need their
own reporting taxonomies to reflect local accounting and other reporting regulations. Many different organisations,
including regulators, specific industries or even companies, may require taxonomies or taxonomy extensions to cover their
own specific business reporting needs.
(b) XBRL is not a chart of accounts: It is not a detailed universal chart of accounts. Formulation of a company’s chart of
accounts is an exercise conducted by its management with regard to its specific business intricacies. XBRL can facilitate
the implementation of such structures through its ability to transport data between disparate software applications that
might be used within an organization’s operational structures.
(c) XBRL is not a GAAP translator: It does not provide a mechanism for facilitating a drilldown of existing GAAP information
into lower levels of information that would be necessary for translating financial statements from one GAAP to another.
(d) XBRL is not a proprietary technology: XBRL is freely licensed and available to the public.
(e) XBRL is not a Transaction Protocol: XBRL deals with business reporting information, not with data capture at the
transaction level.
1. Clear Definitions: - XBRL allows the creation of reusable, authoritative definitions, called taxonomies, which capture
the meaning contained in all of the reporting terms used in a business report.
Taxonomies are developed by regulators, accounting standards setters, government agencies and other groups that
need to clearly define information that needs to be reported upon. XBRL doesn’t limit what kind of information is
defined: it’s a language that can be used and extended as needed.
• Prevent poor quality information being sent to a regulator or third party, by being run by the preparer while the report
is in draft stage.
• Prevent poor quality information being accepted by a regulator or third party, by being run at the point that the
information is being received. Business reports that fail critical rules can be sent back to the preparer for review and
resubmission.
• Identifying or highlighting questionable information, allowing prompt follow up, correction or explanation.
• Creation of ratios, aggregations and other kinds of value-added information, based on the fundamental data provided.
3. Multi-lingual Support:
XBRL allows concept definitions to be prepared in as many languages as necessary. Translations of definitions can also
be added by third parties. This means that it’s possible to display a range of reports in a different language to the one that
they were prepared in, without any additional work. The XBRL community makes extensive use of this capability as it can
automatically open up reports to different communities.
1.7 BENEFITS OF XBRL REPORTING: - The benefits of reporting under XBRL over traditional form are:
1. Automated Data Processing: The use of XBRL offers major benefits to the preparers and users of business and financial
information by enabling this data to be exchanged and processed automatically by the software. XBRL identification
tags reduce and eliminate the need for the data entry operator to manually key data into the software.
2. More accurate and efficient: XBRL makes reporting more accurate and more efficient by using comprehensive
definitions and accurate data tags. Such data tags allow the preparation, validation, publication, exchange, consumption
and analysis of business information of all kinds.
3. Data Review: Organisations can use software to automatically validate data electronically received through XBRL.
The software can help analyse the data and identify problems that accountants and auditors can examine.
4. Improved reporting quality: XBRL provides its users with increased data integrity and uniformity. It also allows for
increased transparency of public owned companies’ financial records for view by ‘interested’ parties.
5. Interchangeable: Information in reports prepared using the XBRL standard is interchangeable between different
information systems in entirely different organisations. This allows for the exchange of business information across a
reporting chain. The users who intend to report information, share information, publish information and allow straight
through information processing rely on XBRL.
6. Cost and time savings: Currently all companies file their reports with regulators using formats like the Portable Document
Format (PDF) which has its inherent limitations. Moreover, the costs of sending, receiving, storing, validating and
auditing the financial records in this format are comparatively higher. XBRL reduces the involved time and also the cost.
22. Tagging of transactions: In addition to allowing the exchange of various business reports, XBRL has the capability to
allow the tagging of transactions that can themselves be aggregated into XBRL reports. These transactional capabilities
allow system-independent exchange and analysis of significant quantities of supporting data. XBRL allows unique tags
to be associated with reported facts, which leads to the following advantages:
• publishing of reports with the confidence that the information contained in them can be consumed and analysed
accurately;
• testing of the reports against a set of business and logical rules, in order to capture and avoid mistakes at their source;
• using the information in the way that best suits the users’ needs, including by using different languages, alternative
currencies and in their preferred style;
• providing confidence to the users that the data provided to them conforms to a set of sophisticated predefined
definitions.
7.8 USERS OF XBRL: - XBRL is the international standard for digital reporting. It offers benefits to all those who have to create,
transmit, use or analyse such information. XBRL is used in many different ways, for many different purposes. The
significant users of XBRL include:
1. Companies: Companies are required to provide relevant information to various stakeholders, and to accurately move
information amongst them.
2. Not-for-profit Organisations: Several not-for-profit organisations, like universities, municipalities etc. opt for reporting
under XBRL format.
3. Accountants: Accountants use XBRL in support of clients reporting requirements and are required to prepare and present
financial statements using XBRL.
4. Analysts: Analysts that need to understand relative risk and performance.
5. Investors: Investors that need to compare potential investments and understand the underlying performance of existing
investments.
6. Regulatory Authorities: The different regulatory authorities that use XBRL include:
• Financial regulators that need significant amounts of complex performance and risk information about the institutions
that they regulate.
• Securities regulators and stock exchanges that need to analyse the performance and compliance of listed companies and
securities, and need to ensure that this information is available to markets to consume and analyse.
• Business registrars that need to receive and make publicly available a range of corporate data about private and public
companies, including annual financial statements.
7. Government agencies.
8. Tax authorities.
9. Statistical and monetary policy authorities: These authorities that need financial performance information from many
different organisations.
10. Specialist Data Providers: Specialist data providers that use published information for the purpose of creating comparisons,
ratings and other value-added information products for various market participants.
In this process,corporates are being judged on three important aspects namely, economic, environmental and social aspects.
Thus, ESG reporting has become immensely important.
Each and every corporate house needs to disclose all the facts and figures relating to its contributions made towards the
protection of environment and society as well as it should disclose all the essential economic information in front of the
stakeholders.
ESG Criteria:
ESG reporting requires identification and reporting information about the three criteria in a meaningful way. While,
environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a steward of nature, social criteria examine how it manages
relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities. Finally, governance deals with a company’s
leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights. Accordingly, the following criteria are largely used
in this context.
Types of HR reports:
1. Employee information reports: Employee Information Reports provide all information on employees’ data factors,
such as employee headcount, employee turnover rates, diversity, revenue per employee, employee satisfaction percentage,
employee engagement percentage, and average employee tenure, etc.
2. Recruitment reports: The following are some important metrics to track in recruitment reports:
i. Number of candidates evaluated in a period
ii. Rate of offer declination
iii. Reasons for offer rejection
iv. Total number of interviews
v. Duration of the interview
vi. Top channels for candidate sourcing
vii. Active job postings by location, department, and other criteria
viii. Candidates from the talent pool and their behaviour patterns
3. Performance management reports: It’s critical to keep track of employees’ goals, skill sets, feedback, and other
information. Performance reportsprovide a logical starting point for appraising staff. Performance reports can also show how
each employee is doing in terms of meeting their objectives.The following are some of the parameters for measuring
performance:
i. Employee evaluations
ii. Time to productivity
iv. The number of hours worked and revenue
v. Employee objectives and performance, as well as their improvements
vi. Peer reviews, etc.
The finance team is in charge of majority of the compensation provided to employees. Payroll, on the other hand, is the
responsibility of the HR department. To better understand compensation, keep track of salary reports, appraisal reports, paid
time off reports, overtime compensation and dues reports, shift compensation,deductions, and financial reports based on each
filter or criteria.
3. Terminations Budget/Analysis: This report contains the list of all employees who have been terminated from
employment within a defined date range.
4. Equal employment opportunity reports: Equal employment opportunity is a pivotal concept for employees and
employers alike. It ensures that the employment in an organization is not biased towards a specific gender, race or age
group.
6. Workplace Safety Reports: It includes Employee Grievance Reports, compensation reports and safety reports.
Concept of Value Added: ‘Value-Added’ is a basic and important measurement to judge the performance of an
enterprise. It indicates the net value or wealth created by the manufacturer during a specified period. No enterprise can
survive or grow, if it fails to generate wealth.
An enterprise may exist without making profit, but cannot survive without adding value. Value added is a more meaningful
measure of corporate performance than conventional measures based on traditional financial accounting, and can be
particularly useful for employee-oriented approach which will allow more fruitful discussions with employees.
The value added concept attempts to neutralise the distinction between capital and labour by focusing on the creation of
wealth i.e., the fund from which all payments to capital, labour and the government must come.
The value-added concept also aligns corporate financial reporting with ‘National Income Accounting’. Value added is included
in the computation of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
Value Added Statement: This is a financial statement that shows how much value (wealth) has been created by an
enterprise through the utilisation of its capacity, capital, manpower, and other resources, and how it is then allocated among
different stakeholders (employees, lenders, shareholders, government, etc.) within an accounting period.
In other words, these are financial statements that show how a business creates value and distributes that wealth todiverse
stakeholders. Employees, shareholders, the government, creditors, and the wealth retained in the enterprise are among the
numerous stakeholders.
A typical Value-Added Statement has two parts – Creation/Generation of Value Added and Distribution of Value Added.
I. Creation or Generation of Value Added: This part of the value-added statement describes how the value is generated.
Here, value added is shown as the excess of turnover plus income from services over the cost of bought-in material and cost
of services. The term ‘turnover’ is defined as the gross sale of goods plus sales tax (GST) and duties minus the amount of
rebates, returns, commission, discounts and goods used for self-consumption.
II. Application of Value Added: This part describes how the value added is shared by the three contributing members viz., (a)
employees, (b) government and (c) providers of capital. The remainder of the value added is reinvested in the business in
the form of depreciation and retained earnings.
Uses of Value Added Statement: Value added reporting is not only useful for external purposes but also for internal
decision making and performance measurement. The following are some of the uses of value-added reporting:
a. Value added is an alternative performance measure to profit.
b. Useful productivity measures can be devised using corporate value added. For example,
i. Value added per rupee of capital employed
ii. Value added per rupee of sales
iii. Value added per rupee of labour cost
iv. Value added per employee
v. Value added per labour hour or machine hour
c. Resource allocation decisions may be based upon value added.
d. The value-added reporting is found useful by many companies for explaining company results to employees. One
of the significant uses of the concept of value added is its incorporation in company incentive schemes or bonus
schemes.

Economic Value Added (EVA) is a performance measure developed by Stern Stewart & Co. (now known as Stern Value
Management) to find the true economic profit generated by a company.
It is also called “economic profit,” and provides a measurement of a company’s economic success (or failure) over a period of
time.
Economic profit can be calculated by taking a company’s net after-tax operating profit and subtracting from it the product of the
company’s invested capital multiplied by its percentage cost of capital.
Economic Value Added (EVA) is the measure of economic profits after charging both cost of debt and cost of equity
capital.
EVA = NOPAT - (WACC × Invested Capital/capital employed),
Borrowings = Rs 20,00,000

Frequency and Timing of Earnings Call: Earning calls are not legally mandated. So, a company may not actually have
any earnings call. The cultureis, however, more prevalent in western countries and slowly becoming popular in India as
well.
According to the National Investor Relations Institute, USA, 92% of companies represented by their members conduct
earnings calls. In India also, most of the large publicly listed companies organise earnings conference call.
There is no general requirement for how far in advance notice of a call must be given. However, to ensurea fruitful
discussion and to reach the target audience as much as possible, the call is generally announced a few days or weeks in
advance. The schedule of the call is generally posted by the company in the Investor Relations section of their website.
Structure of an Earnings Call: Normally, an earnings call is found to have the following three parts.
A. Safe Harbour Statement: A typical earnings call starts with the safe harbour statement made by the company’s
management. The safe harbour statement generally warns the participants of the earnings presentation that the discussion
of financial results may include forward-looking statements. Thus, the estimates of results based on theforward-looking
statements may substantially differ from the actual results.
B. Presentation and Discussion of the Financial Results: After the safe harbour statement, the managers take over the
call. In an earnings call, generally, a company is represented by C-level executives. Depending on a company and its corporate
hierarchy, the number of participating executives may vary. However, the two key executives that are always present in the
earnings call are the chief executive officer (CEO) and chief financial officer (CFO).
The executives present and discuss the financial results for the given reporting period. In addition, the
managers provide an overview of the company’s upcoming goals and milestones, as well as discuss how the
plans will impact the future financial performance of the company.
C. Question and Answer Session: The final section of the earnings call is reserved for the Q&A session. During this
session, investors, analysts, and other participants in the call have an opportunity to ask the management questions regarding
the presented financial results. The representatives of the management answer the questions based on the data available with
them. However, they may decline or defer their answers for certain questions.

Introduction: Grants-in-aid are payments in the nature of assistance, donations or contributions made by one
government to another government, body, institution or individual. Grants-in-aid are given for specified purpose of
supporting an institution including construction of assets.
Such grants-in-aid could be given in cash or in kind used by the recipient agencies towards meeting their operating
as well as capital expenditure requirement.
Grants-in-aid are given by the Union Government to State Governments and by the State Governments to the Local
Bodies. This is based on the system of governance in India, which follows three-tier pattern:
• With the Union Government at the apex (top),
• The States in the middle, and
• The Local Bodies (LBs) consisting of the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) at the
grass root level.
Accounts of these three levels of Government are separate and consequently the assets and liabilities of each level of
government are recorded separately. Grants-in-aid released by the Union Government to the State Governments are
paid out of the Consolidated Fund of India as per Articles 275 and 282 of the Constitution.
Sometimes, the Union Government disburses funds to the State Governments in the nature of Pass-through Grants
that are to be passed on to the Local Bodies.
The State Governments are required to devolve funds to various Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) and the Urban
Local Bodies (ULBs) upon them for discharging various functions such as education, health, rural housing, drinking
water, etc.
Objective: The objectives of this Standard is to prescribe the principles for accounting and classification of Grants-
in-aid in the Financial Statements of Government both as a grantor as well as a grantee.
Scope: This Standard applies to the Union Government and the State Governments in accounting and classification
of Grants-in-aid received or given by them.
Recognition:
• Grants-in-aid in cash shall be recognised in the books of the grantor at the time cash disbursements take place. Grants-
