END OF SECTION B

Suggested Answers Financial Accounting (MB131) : April 2004

of the balance sheet. Bill discounted amount will be debited in the cash book. Prepaid expenses and income tax paid in advance appears under current assets of the balance sheet. Directors’ remuneration will be entered in the debit side of profit and loss account. Hence (d) is correct.

< TOP >

2. Answer : (d) Reason : Dividends may be termed as the share of profits that is payable to the shareholders of a company. The

Companies Act lays down the do’s and don’ts associated with declaration/payment of dividends. As per the Companies Act, that dividends are paid on paid up capital which is part of the called up capital that has been paid up by the shareholders and made available with the company for utilization. Hence, it is proper to pay dividends on paid-up capital. Thus, alternative (d) is the correct answer.

The other alternatives– (a) Authorized capital is the capital authorized to issue by its memorandum. It is only nominal in

nature unless and until the entire amount is issued, called up and paid up. Since the entire amount is not made available for utility, dividends cannot be declared on authorized capital.

(b) Issued capital is the part of nominal capital that is offered to the public for subscription and the entire amount is not available for claiming dividend.

(c) Called-up capital is that part of the subscribed capital which has been called-up and cannot be a base for calculation of dividend.

(e) Reserve capital is that part of uncalled capital, which is to be called up in the event of winding up of a company and under any circumstances, dividend cannot be declared on it.

Thus, the statements (a), (b), (c) and (e) are not correct.

< TOP >

3. Answer : (a) Reason : Preference shares are redeemed from the proceeds of fresh issue of shares. It cannot be redeemed out of

< TOP >

4. Answer : (e) Reason : All costs incurred to maintain production or to promote sales of existing products are excluded from the

research and development costs. Any routine or promotional costs of market research of existing products cannot be called as research and development costs. The cost of materials consumed in the process of research and development (a), amortization of patents and licenses related to research and development (b), depreciation of premises that is used for carrying the work of research (c), salaries and wages paid to personnel engaged in the research and development activities (d) can be considered as research and development expenses, and hence they are not the correct answers. Therefore, alternative (e) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

5. Answer : (c) Reason : The maximum amount beyond which a company is not allowed to raise funds by issue of shares is called

nominal capital or authorized capital (c). Thus, alternative (e) is the correct answer. The issued capital (a) is that part of the nominal capital issued to the public and subscribed capital (d) is that part of the issued capital which is subscribed by the public, Paid up capital (e) is the amount which is paid-up by the shareholders, and Reserve capital (b) is that capital which will be called-up only in case of liquidation. Therefore, alternative (c) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

6. 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 or an indefinite period of time. Materiality concept (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

< TOP >

provide the information about the economic activities of the business enterprise at regular intervals. It does not speak about consolidation of financial statements. Therefore, alternative (b) is the correct answer.

7. 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 (b). They are issued only to the existing shareholders. It does not indicate the right of redemption of shares issue (d). These are not the shares with cumulative dividend right (e). Therefore, alternative (c) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

8. Answer : (e) Reason : Under intrinsic value method the value per share is arrived by valuing the assets of a company and

deducting therefrom all the liabilities and claims of preference shareholders and dividing the net assets by the number of shares. The value of net assets is nothing but the net equity. Therefore, the information regarding net equity is essential for calculating the value of equity share under intrinsic value method. Thus, alternative (e) is the correct answer.

Value per share =

Net equityNo.of shares

< TOP >

9. Answer : (c) Reason : Premium on redemption of debentures account represents the additional amount payable to debenture

holders at the time of redemption of debentures and is a personal account. It is not an asset (d) and therefore it cannot be a real account (a). It is not a an expenditure for the current year and therefore it cannot be a nominal account (b). It is not a capital reserve (e). Thus, alternative (c) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

10. Answer : (c) Reason : A company cannot issue shares at a discount except as provided in Section 79 of the Companies Act.

According to the said section the maximum rate of discount at which the shares can be issued is 10%. If it exceeds 10%, an approval from the Company Law Board is required. These conditions are intended to ensure that the discount is not unreasonable.

< TOP >

11. Answer : (e) Reason : A trade discount is not at all recorded in books of accounts (e). It will be reduced from the invoice price

and the net amount after deducting the trade discount will be recorded as purchases. Thus, alternative (e) is the correct answer. when it is not recorded in the books at all, the other four alternatives are incorrect.

< TOP >

12. Answer : (c) Reason : Repayment of short term loan is shown as a decrease in cash (c). Therefore, alternative (c) is the correct

answer. It is not a source of working capital. Therefore, alternative (a) is not the correct answer. It is shown as increase in cash (b), is also not a correct answer. Does not affect the working capital (d) is also not a correct answer, since it is affecting the working capital. Is not shown either as a source or a use of funds (e) is also not the correct answer. Therefore, alternative (c) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

13. Answer : (a) Reason : Debt-Equity ratio is also called as leverage ratio. Thus, alternative (a) is the correct answer. Current ratio

(b) and Quick ratio (c) are liquidity ratios and not leverage ratios. Earning power (d) and Inventory turnover ratio (e) are not leverage ratios. Therefore, alternative (a) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

14. Answer : (d) Reason : A prospectus (d) means any document described or issued as a prospectus and includes any notice,

circular, advertisement or other document inviting deposits from the public or inviting offers from the public for the subscription or purchase of shares or debentures of a body corporate. Total capital of a company is divided into units of small denominations which are called as shares. Share certificate (a) is an ownership security. Debenture (b) is a formal document constituting acknowledgement of a debt given under the seal of the company. Fixed deposit receipt (c) is the acknowledgement of deposit of a certain sum of money repayable after a fixed tenure as per the contract and share warrant (e) is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right to acquire equity shares. Thus, alternatives (a), (b), (c) and (e) are not correct. (d) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

15. Answer : (c) Reason : Stock of stationery (a), Goodwill (b), Accounts receivable (d) and cash at bank (e) are the assets and not

the correct answers. Profit and loss account (credit balance) (c) is the amount belongs to the owner of the business and it is a liability to the business. Hence it is not an asset and (c) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

16. Answer : (a) < TOP

Reason : The portion of the acquisition cost of the asset yet to be allocated is known as written down value (a) Accumulated value (b) is the value of a thing accumulated over a period of time and not the correct answer. Realizable value (c) is the value which can be realized in the event of sale and is not correct answer. Salvage value (d) is the value of an asset that remains as scrap value after its usage over a period of time and is not the correct answer. Residual value (e) is the value remaining as residue and is not the correct answer. Alternative (a) is the correct answer

>

17. Answer : (b) Reason : The Accounting Standard-2 deals with regard to accounting for inventory. According to the statement,

Work in progress of a manufacturing industry is covered. Thus, the alternative (b) is the correct answer. The items of inventory stated in other alternatives are not covered under AS-2 Financial instruments held as stock-in-trade, Work in progress arising under construction contracts and Work in progress of service providers. Hence, alternatives (a) reflecting statement (I); (c) combination of statements (I) and (II); alternative (d) combination of statements (III) and (IV) and alternative (e) combination of statements II, III and IV are incorrect.

< TOP >

18. Answer : (b) Reason : Prepaid rent account is a personal account is the correct statement and alternative (b) is the correct

answer. The alternative (a) is incorrect because drawings is not a nominal account and it is a personal account of the owner which indicates the value of money or goods withdrawn by him for personal consumption. The alternative (c) is incorrect because it is the combination of wrong statement (II) Capital account is a personal account and not a real account with statement (III), which is a correct statement. The alternative (d) is incorrect because the statement (IV) is incorrect as outstanding salaries is a representative personal account and not a nominal account and the statement (V) is incorrect as patents account is a real account and not personal account and the combination of (II), (IV) and (V) is not the correct answer. The alternative (e) is incorrect because the combination of one correct statement (III) with incorrect statements (I), (II) and (IV). Thus, the correct answer is (b).

< TOP >

19. Answer : (d) Reason : In recognition of money measurement concept, the events and transactions which are of monetary in

nature are recorded in the books of a business. The statement in alternative (b) i.e., death of a chief executive, though significant cannot be expressed in terms of money as such does not finds place in the books. The statement in alternative (c) the Government investigation into the pricing activities of the business does not involve any monetary treatment to be made as such does not find place in the books. Thus, the alternative (d) the combination of (b) and (c) is the correct answer. The significant monetary events after the balance sheet date (a) are to be recorded in the books of the business hence is not the correct answer. Alternative (e), i.e., combination of an incorrect answer and two correct answers is also not the correct answer. Thus, alternative (d) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

20. Answer : (b) Reason : Interest on debentures, provision for taxation, provision for bad debts and penalty for defective works are

charged to profit and loss account, it means these are all charged against profit. Dividend is the part of profit and not a charge against profit, so it appears in the profit & loss appropriation account.

< TOP >

21. Answer : (a) Reason : FIFO method is based on the assumption that costs are charged against revenue in the order in which

they occur. It means, the first unit in stock is the first unit to be out. The closing inventory consists of the units purchased last. If the prices are rising, goods are issued at lower price and closing stocks are valued at higher price. It will help to create more profit. Other inventory methods stated in Last in first out method (b), under this method, the last unit in the stock is the first unit to be out and the costs are charged against revenue in the reverse order of the FIFO method and during the periods of rising prices, the closing stock consists of stock with remote prices. Under Weighted average method (c), the stocks are valued with certain weights as per the movement of stocks and the prices are restated at every stage of purchase. Under simple average method (d) the stock procured at various prices is computed on the average price of the stock. Under specific identification method (e), the physical stock is verified on daily basis where the stock dealt is of high value Hence, (a) is true.

< TOP >

22. Answer : (b) Reason : Bad debts recovered is a wind fall gain and it is transferred to profit and loss account at the time of

preparation of final accounts. If provision for bad and doubtful account is maintained in the books of accounts it will be transferred to provision account and the balance if any in the provision account will be transferred to profit and loss account. It is recovery of bad debt written off and hence it is not transferred to debtor’s account. It is not transferred to profit and loss adjustment account. It is not an appropriation to be transferred to profit and loss appropriation account. Provision for discount on debtors is the account

< TOP >

created to record the discount allowed to debtors and not to record either the bad debts or bad debts recovered. Thus, the answer is (b).

23. Answer : (d) Reason : An accounts receivable is not an intangible asset. It is the amount that the business has to receive from

its debtors. The other assets mentioned in alternatives (a), (b), (c), and (e) i.e., goodwill, trademark, franchises and secret processes are intangible assets. Hence, the correct answer is (d).

< TOP >

24. Answer : (b) Reason : Error of principle denotes wrong classification of expenditure or revenue. If a company pays for repairs

on a machine, it should be debited to repairs account. If it is charged to machinery account, it is an error of principle. Compensating error (b) is the one where one error is compensated by another error or series of errors and the debit to machinery account on account of repairs is neither compensated by another error or by series of errors and hence it is incorrect. Error of commission (c) is incorrect because this is an error made in recording the amount involved in a transaction while journalizing or posting to ledger accounts. Error of omission may be partial or complete. Under complete omission, the recording of an entry is completely omitted and it is incorrect answer. Error of partial omission is result of omission one aspect of a transaction and it is not the correct answer (e). Thus, (b) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

25. Answer : (d) Reason : If the opening inventory of a business was undercast it will increase the gross profit and net profit (d).

The opening stock plus net purchases are the cost of goods sold for a given period and its understatement will result in increase in gross profit and ultimately increases net profit. The alternative (a) is incorrect because, the increase in gross profit as a result of understatement of opening stock will not decrease the net profit. The alternative (c) and (e) are incorrect because opening stock is not reflected in balance sheet of a business either to increase assets or decrease the value of assets. The alternative (b) is incorrect because the decrease in cost of goods sold will not decrease gross profit and net profit.

< TOP >

26. Answer : (e) Reason : Trial Balance (e) is not a financial statement. It is a list of all accounts showing outstanding balances at

the end of the accounting period. It helps in the preparation of financial statements. The Profit and Loss account (a); Profit and Loss appropriation account (b) Balance Sheet (c) and Funds flow statement (d) are the financial statements prepared by a business entity. Funds flow statement is categorized as one of the financial statements, but its preparation is not mandatory. Thus, (e) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

27. Answer : (a) Reason : Share capital is the contribution made by the owner(s) and is regarded as a liability to the business in the

nature of owner’s equity. The underlying feature for this treatment is the distinction between the owner(s) and that of the business owned by them. According to business entity concept whenever an owner brings capital into the business, the business in turn is deemed to owe the capital to the owner. As such the share capital account is treated as a liability to the business and shown under liabilities. The other concepts are not correct because

(b) Money measurement concept explains that in financial accountancy, a record is made only of information that can be expressed in monetary terms and ignores other events, however significant they may be. It is silent about the treatment of share capital account.

(c) Cost concept implies that in accounting all transactions are generally recorded at cost and not at market value. It does not explain why share capital account is to be treated as liability.

(d) The Going concern concept assumes that the business entity will continue to operate or an indefinite period of time It does not deal with the treatment of share capital account.

(e) Conservatism concept: The theme behind this principle is that recognition of revenue requires better evidence than recognition of expenses. It deals with revenues and expenses and not the share capital account.

< TOP >

28. Answer : (e) Reason : The credit balance in bank column of cashbook (e) represents overdraft and it is a liability of a business.

Thus, (e) is the correct answer. Debit balance of analytical petty cash book(a), Credit balance of bank pass book (b), debit balance of bank column of the Cashbook (c) and debit balance of cash column of the Cashbook (d) represent assets and therefore not the correct answers. Therefore, alternative (e) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

29. Answer : (b) Reason : Under casting or over casting of subsidiary book is the example of error of commission. Hence (b) is the

correct answer. Inventory valuation affects not only income statement, but also balance sheet. If capital

< TOP >

expenditure is treated as revenue expenditure, it is an error of principle but not the error of commission. The sum total of assets is equal to the sum total of equity and outside liabilities but not the sum total of liabilities alone. Inventories should be valued at lower of historical cost and market value but not replacement cost. All these statements given in (a), (c), (d) and (e) are false. Therefore, alternative (b) is the correct answer.

30. Answer : (a) Reason : Conservatism concept means the early recognition of unfavorable events. Under this concept, the

business must provide all expected losses but does not account for anticipated profit. In the given situation, provision for bad debt made out of profit for future bad debt loss is as per the conservative approach. Thus, alternative (a) is the correct answer. Cost concept implies that in accounting all transactions are generally recorded at cost and not at market value (b), Consistency concept states that all the accounting policies should be followed consistently from one accounting period to another, the Going concern concept (d) assumes that the business entity will continue to operate or an indefinite period of time and Time period concept (e) states that all the transactions pertaining to one accounting period should be accounted for and these four alternatives does not deal with provision for bad debts. Therefore, alternative (a) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

31. Answer : (d) Reason : Purchase of fixed assets on credit is entered in journal proper (d) and subsequently posted into the ledger.

Hence (d) is the correct answer. It is not recorded in purchases book (a) as only purchase of goods will be recorded in purchases book. Ledger (b) is not original book of entry and therefore, is not the correct answer. In cash book (c), only cash transactions will be recorded. As the fixed assets were purchased on credit, this transaction will not be recorded in the cashbook. Alternative (e), which is the combination of one correct answer and one incorrect answer is also not the correct answer. Therefore, alternative (d) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

32. Answer : (a) Reason : The fundamental principle is that every transaction has dual aspect, an aspect of giving and an aspect of

receiving. Under double entry system of accounting, both these aspects of receiving and giving are recorded in terms of account. Thus, the receiving and giving entries are being made in the business books, which are equal and opposite of one another because every debit has equal, and opposite credit. Hence alternative (a) is the correct answer. Alternative (b) is incorrect because double entry does not involve keeping two sets of books for the business. Alternative (c) is incorrect because business bookkeeping being kept by more than one person is not the principle of double entry system of accounting. Alternative (d) is incorrect because whether double entry or single entry business books may be checked twice. Double entry system of accounting does not involve in checking of the entries once or twice. Alternative (e) is incorrect because under double entry system of accounting if an entry is recorded once in the cash book it will not find its place in any other subsidiary book. If it is recorded in the journal it will not be recorded again in the cash book. Hence correct answer is (a).

< TOP >

33. Answer : (d) Reason : Current assets are the assets which can be converted into cash with in an accounting period i.e., usually

twelve months. Stock (II), debtors (III), pre-paid expenses (III) and accrued income (IV) are current assets of a business and therefore alternative (d), which is the combination of the above four statements is the correct answer. Income received in advance is a liability of a business and is not a current asset. Therefore, alternative (d) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

34. 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.

< TOP >

35. Answer : (c) Reason : The claims against the company not acknowledged as debts represent contingent liabilities and should be

included in the notes to balance sheet. They are neither current liabilities (a) nor can be categorized under Loans and advances (b). it should not shown in Directors’ report (d). Alternative (e), i.e., no separate disclosure is required is also not a correct answer. Therefore, alternative (c) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

36. Answer : (b) Reason : The mistake made by recording the amount incorrectly, either wholly or partly is known as error of

commission. Hence the correct answer is (b). If any transaction is omitted to be recorded, it is known as error of omission (a). If the principles of accounting are not followed in recording the transaction, it is known as error of principle (c). If two or more errors are made and the amount compensates in such a way that the error is not disclosed by trial balance, such errors are compensating errors (d). If any mistake is made in calculation (like the calculation of depreciation), such error is known as error of computation

< TOP >

(e). thus alternatives (a), (c), (d) and (e) are not the correct answers. Therefore, alternative (b) is the correct answer. 37. Answer : (e)

Reason : Discount allowed on re-issue of forfeited shares is debited to forfeited shares account. It cannot be debited to general reserve account, capital reserve account, revaluation reserve account and capital redemption reserve account

< TOP >

38. Answer : (b) Reason : Under cash basis of accounting, revenue is recognized when cash is received (b). Revenue is recognized

under accrual basis when sale is made (a) or goods are delivered (c) or services are rendered (d) when there is reasonable certainty regarding the amount of consideration and is not under cash basis of accounting and therefore not the correct answers. Therefore, alternative (b) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

39. Answer : (c) Reason : Number of years’ purchase is the factor with which the super profits will 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)

40. Answer : (b) Reason : The proposed dividend is classified as a provision (a) and shown on the liability side of the balance sheet.

The dividend finally decided by the shareholders in the annual general meeting as payable is termed as Declared Dividend. Any dividend declared must be paid with thirty days from the date of declaration. Hence, a declared dividend must be classified as a current liability (b) in the balance sheet of the company. Thus the answer is (b). Declared dividend is not a reserve(c), not a current asset (d) and also not a miscellaneous expenditure (e). Therefore, alternative (b) is the correct answer.

58. Answer : (d) Reason : According to the basic accounting equation, assets = liabilities + owners equity.

Hence owners equity = assets – liabilities. Capital = Rs.2,45,000 + Rs.1,85,000 + Rs.95,000 + Rs.80,000 – (Rs.1,20,000 + Rs.40,000) = Rs.6,05,000 – Rs.1,60,000 = Rs.4,45,000 Profit for the year 2003-2004 = Capital as on March 31, 2004 – Capital as on April 01, 2003 = Rs.4,45,000 – Rs.3,40,000 = Rs.1,05,000

Alternatively,

Profit for the year 2003-2004 = Capital as on March 31, 2004 – Capital as on April 01, 2003 = Rs.4,45,000 – Rs.3,40,000 = Rs.1,05,000

64. Answer : (a) Reason : Costs that improve the revenue earning capability of an asset should be capatilised as part of the cost of

the asset (for example, Rs.40,000 paid for additional component for increasing the earning capacity). However, costs that maintain the revenue earning capability (such as the maintenance charges and the replacement parts) should be treated as revenue expenses and they are to be charged to the Profit and Loss Account. The correct figure for depreciation calculation is therefore, as under:
