 Suggested Answers
Financial Accounting (MB131) : April 2003
Part A : Basic Concepts

1. Answer : (d)
Reason : Recording, classification and summarization of business transactions requires a common unit of
measurement which is taken as money. Thus, recording of all events, transactions through a
common denominator depicts the money measurement concept. Making provision for doubtful
debts and discount on debtors (a) is in terms of recognition of expenses as soon as they are
reasonably possible which is implied in conservatism concept. Recording of all transactions at a
price paid for it, (b) and recording of non-monetary fixed assets at historical cost less
accumulated depreciation (c) are the resultants of cost concept. Thus, (d) is the correct answer.
2. Answer : (c)
Reason : Intangible assets are amortized like tangible fixed assets. If costs benefit more than one
accounting period, they should be systematically and rationally allocated to all accounting
periods. Matching concept involves recognizing costs as expenses on the basis of direct
association with assets. Thus amortization of intangible assets is in systematic allocation of costs
over a several periods in recognition of matching concept. The other concepts do not recognize
allocation of costs of fixed assets. Conservatism concept is not meant to introduce a bias into
financial reporting. It is a prudent reaction to uncertainty to try to ensure that inherent risks in
business are adequately considered. Going concern concept (b) assumes that the business entity
is assumed to be a going concern in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Time Period concept
(d) requires accounting information to be reported at regular intervals to foster comparability.
Business entity concept explains that in accounting business is to be considered as a separate
entity from the owner. It does not speak about amortization.
3. Answer : (a)
Reason : In terms of cost concept the value of an asset is to be determined on the basis of acquisition cost.
Valuation of machinery at market value is in violation of cost concept unless the machine is
actually sold, realizable value will give only a hypothetical figure. Market value is highly
subjective because to know the value of the asset one has to chase the uncertain future. The other
concepts matching concept (b) deals with matching costs with revenue, Realization concept (c)
deals with recognition of income at various levels of production, Periodicity concept (d) explains
how the accounting information is to be reported at regular intervals to foster comparability,
Business entity concept (e) explains the owner is different from the business entity. Thus, the
concepts (b), (c), (d), and (e) do not explain how the fixed assets are to be recorded.
4. Answer : (a)
Reason : In double entry system of book-keeping every business transaction affects two or more than two
accounts (a) one account affects debit aspect while the other credit aspect. It does not affect the
same account on two different dates (b) nor two sides of the same account (c). It does not affect
two accounts on two different dates (d) it does not affect same side of two accounts (e).
5. Answer : (d)
Reason :
Particulars Rs.
Overdraft balance as per bank pass book 5,100
Less:Bank charges on collection of upcountry cheques 225
4,875
Add: Interest on UTI deposits directly collected by the bank 425
Credit balance as per bank column of the cash book 5,300

11
6. Answer : (a)
Reason : Making an entry in the wrong subsidiary book (a) will not cause a mismatch in the trial balance.
The wrong recording is carried over at all stages and the trial balance is not affected by this
wrong recording. The mistakes stated in other alternatives results in a mismatch in the trial
balance. The posting of an amount on debit side instead of credit side or vice versa (b) omitting
to write the cash balance in the trial balance (c) and wrong casting of a subsidiary book (d)
affects the agreement of trial balance.
7. Answer : (e)
Plant value - Scrap value
Reason : Depreciation = Life of the plant
(Rs.5, 00, 000 + Rs.30, 000) − Rs.50, 000
=
8 years
Rs.5, 30, 000 − Rs.50, 000 Rs.4,80, 000
= = = Rs.60, 000
8 years 8 years
Rs.60, 000
= × 100 = 11.32%
5,30, 000
8. Answer : (d)
Reason :
Particulars Rs.
Opening Provision 8,000
Bad debts to be written off 20,000
Shortfall of provision 12,000
Provision required 5% of Rs.2,80,000 (Rs.3,00,000 –
Rs.20,000) 14,000
Charge against profit and loss account 26,000

9. Answer : (a)
Reason :
Particulars Rs.
Book value of old furniture 1,680
Add: Cash paid for exchange 600
2,280
Less:Value of new furniture 2,050
Loss recognized on this transaction 230

10. Answer : (c)

Reason : Revenue expenditure is incurred for day to day running of the business. Any item of expenditure
which improves the earning capacity of a business entity or the expenditure incurred till the asset
is ready for use is capital expenditure. From the viewpoint of this, the customs duty paid in
connection with the import of equipment (c) is not revenue expenditure. The expenses mentioned
in other alternatives Interest on deposits accepted (a) Annual insurance premium (b) repairs and
maintenance (d) Expenditure on assets like paperweight (e) are items of revenue expenditure.
11. Answer : (c)
Reason : Fixed assets are for use over relatively long period and they are not meant for resale. Patents (c)
satisfy the characteristics of fixed assets and are shown under the category of Fixed assets.
Closing inventory (a) Fixed deposit in bank (b) and Prepaid expenses (d) are current assets. Thus
(c) is the correct answer.

12
12. Answer : (c)
Reason : Cost of goods = Purchases – Returns outward + Freight in
= Rs.1,86,000 – Rs.6,000 + Rs.14,000 = Rs.1,94,000.
13. Answer : (c)
Reason : The journal is said to be the book of first entry for all transactions which cannot be recorded in
the cash book. Thus, all non-cash transactions should be recorded in the journal. The alternatives
(a) Double column cash book and (d) Cash book are cash books where transactions involving
cash and discount and cash alone are recorded and alternative (b) analytical petty cash book is
meant for recording petty expenses and the alternative (e) Ledger is the main book of account
where all transactions are posted and it contains a classified summary of all accounts.
14. Answer : (e)
Reason : In a business, funds can be raised by increasing liabilities and reducing assets. Thus alternative
(a) reduction in asset and alternative (c) increase in liability are the sources of funds. The other
alternatives (b) payment of creditors leads to reduction in liability and (d) purchase of an asset
increases assets and they are uses of funds.
15. Answer : (a)
Reason : The nominal accounts record the actual expenses paid during the accounting period. The
expenses which have fallen due for payment but have not been paid are the accrued expenses or
outstanding expenses. The alternative (b) is the reverse of it i.e. these are the expenses which
have not fallen due but paid in advance like insurance premium also known as unexpired
expenses. The recorded expenses that are apportioned between two or more than two accounting
periods (like huge expenditure on advertisement) is deferred expenditure (c) and the alternative
(d) Accrued revenue is the portion of an income which has fallen due for receipt but has not yet
been received. Capital expenses which increase the earning capacity of an entity and whose
benefit yields for more than one accounting period (e) Thus, the alternatives (b), (c), (d) and (e)
are not correct.
16. Answer : (b)
Reason : According to going concern concept (b), a business entity is assumed to carry on its operations
forever. Seemingly inconsequential, this is a fundamental concept which has far reaching
consequences. The other concepts, business entity concept (a) treats business distinct from the
entity of its owners. According to the concept of periodicity (c) the income or loss of the
business is measured periodically, one year is the usual accounting period. The duality (d)
concept is also known as accounting equivalence concept implies that the uses of funds must be
equal to the sources of funds i.e. Assets = owners’ Equity + outside liability. The liabilities and
assets that appear in the Balance sheet are governed by this concept. The consistency concept (e)
requires that once an entity has decided on one method of treating an event in recording it in
books of accounts, it will treat all subsequent events of the same character in the same fashion.
Thus, the alternative (b) is the correct answer.
17. Answer : (b)
Reason : Consolidated financial statements should reflect the economic activities of a business enterprise
measured without regard to the boundaries of the legal entity. A parent and subsidiary are legally
separate but are treated as a single business enterprise in consolidated statements, in recognition
of Business entity concept (b). The other concepts do not explain about consolidation of financial
statements. The Going concern concept (a) assumes that the business entity will continue to
operate in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Materiality (c) requires reporting the
information that has a value significant enough to affect decisions of those using the financial
statements. Cost concept (d) explains how the assets are to be recorded in the books of accounts.
According to this, fixed assets are to be recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Periodicity (e) explains that the financial accounting process is meant to provide the information
about the economic activities of the business enterprise at regular intervals. It does not speak
about consolidation of financial statements.

13
18. Answer : (c)
Reason : Number of years’ purchase is the factor with which the super profits would have to be multiplied
in order to arrive at the value of goodwill.
Super profits : Average annual profits – (Average capital employed x Normal rate of
return)
Goodwill : Number of years’ purchase x super profits
19. Answer : (e)
Reason : The price of the bonds is at a discount of 15% on the face value of Rs.2,00,000. Thus, the
acquisition cost (Face value – Discount)
15
Discount = Rs.2,00,000 x = Rs.30,000
100
= Rs.2,00,000 – Rs.30,000 = Rs.1,70,000.
20. Answer : (d)
Reason : AS-21 deals with the objectives, scope and procedure of consolidation of financial statements.
Dissimilar activities of parent and its subsidiaries cannot be the ground for non-consolidation of
financial statements. Thus, statement in alternative (d) is false. As per AS 21, consolidation is
not mandatory. But SEBI has made it mandatory for consolidation of financial statements (e).
The object of consolidated financial statements is to present the financial status of parent and
subsidiary as a single entity (a) and these are prepared as per the format followed by the parent
company (b) and these are not substitutes for separate financial statements (c). Separate financial
statements are to be prepared by the entities as per governing law. Thus, the statements in
alternatives (a), (b), (c) and (e) are true.
21. Answer : (e)

22. Answer : (d)
Reason : Profit on stock = 30% of Rs.50,000 = Rs.15,000
Unrealized profit = Rs15,000 × 80% = Rs.12,000.
23. Answer : (b)
Reason : Sometimes the companies may go for issue of debentures towards consideration for purchase of
fixed asset. In such cases, the debentures may be issued at par / at discount / at premium. In the
present case, the journal entry will be:
For purchase of Land and Building:
i. Land and Building a/c. Dr. Rs.2,00,000
To Avanti & Company a/c. Rs.2,00,000
For issue of debentures at discount of 20%
ii. Avanti & Company a/c. Dr. Rs.2,00,000
Discount on issue of debentures Dr. Rs. 50,000
To 12% Debentures a/c. Rs.2,50,000
(Issue of 2,500 debentures of face value Rs.100 each at a discount of 20%)

14
 Thus 12% debentures are figured at Rs.2,50,000.
24. Answer : (d)
Reason : If by the terms of issue, the price payable is above the par value of shares, it is called an issue at
premium. The amount so received is to be credited to securities premium account.
25. Answer : (c)
Reason : Rights shares are the shares that are offered to the existing equity shareholders (c). These are not
issued by a newly formed company (a) They are not the shares issued to the public at large.
They are issued only to the existing shareholders. (b). It does not indicate the right of redemption
of shares issue (d). These are not the shares with cumulative dividend right.
26. Answer : (e)
Reason : The cum-interest price includes the interest accrued. If the company is required to pay the
debenture interest for the accrued period, the price quoted is ex-interest. Thus, the removal of
interest component from cum-interest price gives ex-interest price.
The interest accrued from April 1, 2002 to June 30, 2002 is for three months @ 12% on 10,000.
12 3
= 10,000 x x = Rs.300
100 12
Cum-interest price – Interest = Ex-interest price i.e. cost of debentures
= Rs.9,900 – Rs.300 = Rs.9,600.
27. Answer : (b)
Reason : The amount received on account of securities premium is 18,000 shares x Rs.10 = Rs.1,80,000.
There is no impact of forfeiture of shares on securities premium account. The amount of
premium received is to be utilized as per the provisions of the Companies Act.

28. Answer : (d)

Reason : Dividend is paid on paid-up capital
Equity share capital + Preference share capital
= Rs.24,000 + Rs.25,000 = Rs.49,000
= 20% of 49,000 = Rs.9,800
29. Answer : (d)
Reason : The loss on account of disposal of sinking fund investments is Rs.3,200
Balance = Rs.40,000
Sale:
Rs.46,000 x .8 = Rs.36,800
Loss = Rs. 3,200
30. Answer : (c)
Reason : Though dividends can be declared only by a resolution of the shareholders, if the articles permit,
the directors can declare an interim dividend (c) between two annual general meetings. The
dividend recommended by the directors is termed as Proposed dividend (a) till such time it is
approved by the shareholders in the AGM. The dividend finally decided by the shareholders in
the AGM as payable is termed as Declared dividend (d). The unclaimed portion of it is un-paid/
un-claimed dividend (e). Final dividend (b) gives rise to an enforceable obligation.

 Part C: Applied Theory
6. a. Non-Current Liabilities
All such liabilities payable over a longer period of time, generally after one year, are non-current
liabilities. Eg. Debentures, Long-term loans, etc.
b. Intangible Assets
The assets which do not have physical existence, and their real value depends upon the earning
capacity of the business concern. Example Goodwill.
c. Fixed Assets
Fixed asset is an asset held with the intention of being used for the purpose of producing or providing
goods or services and is not held for sale in the normal course of business.
Fixed assets often comprise a significant portion of the total assets of an enterprise, and therefore are
important in the presentation of financial position.
Financial statements disclose certain information relating to fixed assets. In many enterprises these
assets are grouped into various categories, such as land, buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles,
furniture and fittings, goodwill, patents, trade marks and designs.

7. In financial accountancy, a record is made only of information that can be expressed in monetary terms.
Recording, classification and summarization of business transactions requires a common unit of
measurement, which is taken as money. If events cannot be quantified in monetary terms then they do not
facilitate accounting. The activities and their attributes considered for inclusion in the financial statements
will be based on the yardstick of whether they are amenable to be translated in currency terms. Money is
the standard of exchange and the changes in purchasing power caused by inflation are ignored for the
purpose of accounting because the assumption about the stability of money, notwithstanding its limitations,
is a necessity for ensuring a smooth accounting process. Hence, all transactions are recorded through a
common denominator, namely the monetary unit. Thus, if a certain event, no matter how significant for the
health or even existence of the business, cannot be measured in monetary terms, such an event is not
recorded in accounting. For example, purchase of an inconsequential asset, which is easily measured in
rupee terms, is accounted for in the business. However, the retirement or death of the Chairman of a
company, even though it has far reaching consequences for the health of the business is not accounted for,
since no monetary measurement of the event is feasible.
Needless to say if different assets and liabilities are expressed in different measures they cannot be
compiled to discern the financial health of the business. This difficulty is obviated if all the assets and
liabilities are expressed in money terms. The total liabilities when deducted from the total assets yield the
Net worth of the organization.

8. Value-added (VA) statement is the statement of profit that reflects the addition of wealth made by the
organization with the efforts of management and employees using capital presented in a different form. VA
statement is presented under two parts. In the first part, the value-added by the firm is arrived. In the
second part, application of the added value by the firm is arrived.
Advantages of VA Statements
1. VA concept is the most relevant concept of the social responsibility concept of the enterprise. Social
responsibility concept says that the organization is a social institution working for the benefit of many
interested groups in the society. Thus, VA statement reflects the broader view of the company’s
objectives and responsibilities. This enhances the attitude of the employees towards their employing
firms.
2. VA statement can be taken as a means in introducing the productivity linked bonus scheme for
employees.
3. VA based ratios can be used for comparisons with other companies and international comparisons.
4. VA statement can be used to measure the size and importance of a company in the economy. This
statement shows the company’s contribution to national income.

22
5. VA statement is formed on the basis of the general concepts like going concern, matching,
consistency on which the current balance sheets and income statements are based. So, VA statement is
a complementary to the existing statements.

23
