    Question 7

    Answer anyfour

    of the following:(a) M/s. Tiger Ltd. allotted 7,500 equity shares of ` 100 each fully paid up to Lion Ltd. in

    consideration for supply of a special machinery. The shares exchanged for machineryare quoted at National Stock Exchange (NSE) at ` 95 per share, at the time of

    transaction. In the absence of fair market value of the machinery acquired, show how the

    value of the machinery would be recorded in the books of Tiger Ltd.?

    (b) M/s. Sea Ltd. recognized ` 5.00 lakhs, on accrual basis, income from dividend during theyear 2010-11, on shares of the face value of ` 25.00 lakhs held by it in Rock Ltd. as at

    31st March, 2011. Rock Ltd. proposed dividend @ 20% on 10th April, 2011. However,dividend was declared on 30th June, 2011. Please state with reference to relevant

    Accounting Standard, whether the treatment accorded by Sea Ltd. is in order.

    (c) What disclosures should be made in the first financial statements following theamalgamation?

    (d) From the following data, show Profit and Loss A/c (Extract) as would appear in the books

    of a contractor following Accounting Standard-7:

    (` in lakhs)

    Contract price (fixed) 480.00

    Cost incurred to date 300.00

    Estimated cost to complete 200.00

    (e) M/s. Son Ltd. charged depreciation on its assets on SLM basis. In the year ended

    31st March, 2011, it changed to WDV basis. The impact of the change when computedfrom the date of the assets putting into use amounts to ` 18 lakhs being additionaldepreciation. Discuss, when should an enterprise change method of charging

    depreciation and how it should be dealt with in the Profit and Loss Alc. (4 x 4 = 16 Marks)

    Answer

    (a) As per para 11 of AS 10 Accounting for Fixed Assets, fixed asset acquired in exchangefor shares or other securities in the enterprise should be recorded at its fair market value,

  • 8/13/2019 s a Ipcc Nov 2011- Gr i

    28/97

    PAPER 1 : ACCOUNTING 23

    or the fair market value of the securities issued, whichever is more clearly evident.Since, in the given situation, the market value of the shares exchanged for the asset ismore clearly evident, the company should record the value of machinery at ` 7,12,500

    (i.e., 7,500 shares x ` 95 per share) being the market price of the shares issued in

    exchange.

    (b) Para 8.4 of AS 9 Revenue Recognition states that dividend from investments in sharesare not recognized in the statement of Profit and Loss until the right to receive dividend is

    established.

    In the given case, the dividend is proposed on 10 thApril, 2011, while it was declared on

    30thJune, 2011. Hence, the right to receive dividend is established on 30th June, 2011only. Therefore, on applying the provisions stated in the standard, income from dividend

    on shares should be recognized by Sea Ltd. in the financial year 2011-2012 only.

    Therefore, the recognition of income from dividend of ` 5 lakhs, on accrual basis, in the

    financial year 2010-11 is not in accordance with AS 9.

    (c) Para 24 of AS 14 Accounting for Amalgamations states that for all amalgamations(whether for amalgamations accounted for under the pooling of interests method or

    amalgamations accounted for under the purchase method), the following disclosures are

    considered appropriate in the first financial statements following the amalgamation:

    (a) Names and general nature of business of the amalgamating companies;

    (b) Effective date of amalgamation for accounting purposes;

    (c) The method of accounting used to reflect the amalgamation; and

    (d) Particulars of the scheme sanctioned under a statute.

    (d) Calculation of Estimated Total Cost

    ( in lakhs)

    Cost incurred to date 300

    Estimate of cost to completion 200

    Estimated total cost in completing the contract 500

    Percentage of completion (300/500) x 100 = 60%

    Revenue recognised as a percentage to contract price

    = 60% of ` 480 lakhs = ` 288 lakhs

    As per para 35 of AS 7 Construction Contracts, when it is probable that total contract

    costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss should be recognised as anexpense immediately. Accordingly, expenses to be recognized in the Profit and Loss

    Account will be

    ? ?

    (e) As per para 21 of AS 6 Depreciation Accounting, an enterprise can change one methodof charging depreciation to another method only if the adoption of the new method is

    required by statute or for compliance with an accounting standard or if it is consideredthat the change would result in a more appropriate preparation or presentation of the

    financial statements of the enterprise.

    When such a change in the method of depreciation is made, depreciation should be

    recalculated in accordance with the new method from the date of the asset coming intouse. The deficiency or surplus arising from retrospective recomputation of depreciation

    in accordance with the new method should be adjusted in the accounts throughstatement of profit and loss in the year in which the method of depreciation is changed. Incase the change in the method results in deficiency in depreciation in respect of past

    years, the deficiency should be charged in the statement of profit and loss.

    prescribed); or

    (ii) Attempted performance (promisor offers to perform but promisee refuses toaccept it). This is also known as tender.

    (2) Discharge by mutual agreement: Discharge also takes place where there issubstitution [novation], rescission, alteration and remission. In all these cases oldcontract need not be performed.

    (3) Discharge by impossibility of performance: A situation of impossibility may haveexisted at the time of entering into the contract or it may have transpired

    subsequently (also known as supervening impossibility). Situations are destructionof the subject-matter, incapacity, declaration of war etc.

    (4) Discharge by lapse of time: Performance of contract has to be done within certainprescribed time. In other words it should be performed before it is barred by law oflimitation. In such a case there is no remedy for the promisee. For example wherethe debt is barred by law of limitation.

  • 8/13/2019 s a Ipcc Nov 2011- Gr i

    34/97

    PAPER 2 : BUSINESS LAWS, ETHICS AND COMMUNICATION 29

    (iv) Morals are accepted from an authority (such as cultural, religious etc.) while ethicsare accepted because they follow from personally accepted principles. An ethicalview might be based on an idea of personal property that should not be takenwithout social consent. Moral norms can usually be expressed as general rules andstatements such as always tell the truth.

    (v) Morals work on smaller scale than ethics, more reliably, but by addressing humanneeds for belonging and emulation, while ethics has a much wider scope.

    (c) Significance of active listening: If one does not learn how to listen, a great deal ofwhat people are trying to tell you would be missed. In addition, appropriate responsewould not be possible. Active listening is important for several reasons. First, it aids theorganization in carrying out its mission. In addition, it helps individuals to advance intheir careers. It provides information that helps them to learn about importanthappenings in the organization, as well as assisting them in doing their own jobs well. Italso helps build strong personal relationships.

    Question 3

    (a) What do you understand by coercion and undue influence under the provisions of the

    Indian Contract Act, 1872? What are the differences between them? (8 Marks)

    (b) State the Common Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) policies for business

    organizations. (4 Marks)

    (c) Point out the factors which lead to grapevine communication. (4 Marks)

    Answer

    (a) Coercion and Undue Influence Meaning and Differences: Coercion is thecommitting, or threatening to commit any act forbidden by the Indian Penal Code 1860,or the unlawful detaining, or threatening to detain any property, to the prejudice of anyperson whatever, with the intention of causing any person to enter into an agreement.(Section 15, The Indian Contract Act, 1872).

    A contract is said to be induced by undue influence where the relations subsistingbetween the parties are such that one of the parties is in a position to dominate the will ofthe other and uses that position to obtain an unfair advantage of the other. A person isdeemed to be in a position to dominate the will of the other, when he holds authority, real

    or apparent over the other, or when he stands in a fiduciary relation to other (Section 16,The Indian Contract Act, 1872)

    Differences between Coercion and Undue Influence

    Nature of action: Coercion involves physical force and sometimes only threat. Undueinfluence involves only moral pressure.

  • 8/13/2019 s a Ipcc Nov 2011- Gr i

    35/97

    30 INTEGRATED PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE EXAMINATION: NOVEMBER, 2011

    Involvement of criminal action: Coercion involves committing or threatening to commitany act prohibited or forbidden by law, or detention or threatening to detain a person orproperty. In undue influence there is no such illegal act involved.

    Relationship between parties: In coercion there need not be any relationship betweenparties; whereas in undue influence, there must be some kind of relationship betweenparties, which enables to exercise undue influence over the other.

    Exercise by whom: Coercion need not proceed from the promisor. It also need not bedirected against the promisee. Undue influence is always exercised by one on the other,both of whom are parties to a contract.

    Enforceability:Where there is coercion, the contract is voidable at the option of the party

    whose consent has been obtained by coercion. Where there is undue influence thecontract is voidable or court may set it aside or enforce it in a modified form.

    Position of benefits received: In case of coercion, where the contract is rescinded by theaggrieved party any benefit received has to be restored back. In the case of undueinfluence, the court has discretion to pass orders for return of any such benefit or not togive any such directions.

    (b) Common Policies under CSR are as under:

    Commitment to diversity in hiring employees and barring discrimination; Adoption of internal controls reform in the wake of Enron and other accounting

    scandals;

    Management teams that view employees as assets rather than costs; High performance workplaces that integrate the views of line employees into

    decision-making processes;

    Adoption of operating policies that exceed compliance with social andenvironmental laws;

    Advanced resource productivity, focused on the use of natural resources in a moreproductive, efficient and profitable fashion (such as recycled content and productrecycling); and

    Taking responsibility for conditions under which goods are produced directly or bycontract employees domestically or abroad.

    Advanced resource productivity, focused on the use of natural resources in a moreproductive, efficient and profitable fashion (such as recycled content and productrecycling); and

    Taking responsibility for conditions under which goods are produced directly or bycontract employees domestically or abroad.

    (c) Factors that lead to grapevine communication:

    The grapevine becomes active when the following factors are present:

    (i) Feeling of uncertainty or lack of sense of direction when the organization is passingthrough a difficult period.

    (ii) Feeling of inadequacy or lack of self confidence on the part of the employee,leading to the formation of groups.

    (iii) Formation of a coterie or favoured group by the manager, giving other employees afeeling of insecurity or isolation. People operating in such circumstances will befilled with all sorts of ideas and will share them with likeminded companions, atwhatever level they may be. Mostly they find them at their own level, but otherlevels are not barred. This type of communication is being seriously studied bypsychologists and management experts.

    Question 4

    (b) Explain the concept of Sexual harassment in relation to work place. (4 Marks)

    (c) What are the features of groups in an organization? (4 Marks)

    Answer

    (a) Importance of registered office and its change from one state to another:

    Every company must have registered office where : (a) necessary documents maybe served upon, or deposited; (b) notices, letters, etc., may be issued ; (c)inspection may be had, and (d) communication may be made. The domicile and thenationality of a company is determined by the place of its registered office. This is

    also important for determining the jurisdiction of the Court.

    A company must have a registered office as from the day on which it commencesbusiness, or as from the 30th day after the date of its incorporation whichever isearlier, it may be noted that the address of the registered office ordinarily is not tobe stated in the Memorandum of Association. For if this was done, every changetherein would require amendment of the Memorandum. It is advisable to provide inthe articles that the registered office should be situated at such place, as the Board

  • 8/13/2019 s a Ipcc Nov 2011- Gr i

    32 INTEGRATED PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE EXAMINATION: NOVEMBER, 2011

    should from time to time fix. Otherwise, the registered office cannot be removedoutside the city etc., where it is situated, without special resolution.

    Notice of the situation of the registered office and of every change therein must besent to the Registrar (otherwise than through a statement as to the address of theregistered office in the annual report) within 30 days of the date of incorporation ofthe date of change. This provision is designed to locate the spot where the recordsof the company could be inspected and where the letters should be addressed andnotices served upon thecompany.

    Procedure for shifting the registered office from one state to another state(Section

    17, the Companies Act,1956):

    The Company may by a special resolution, alter the provisions of its memorandumso as to change the place of its registered office from one State to another State. The change needs confirmation of the Company Law Board. When an application is made for a change as aforesaid, it is the State where the

    registered office is at present situated, where interests are likely to be affected bythe change and thus will have the locus standi to oppose such an application [orissaPaper Mills Ltd. vs. State AIR 1957, 482]. Furthermore, it shall be necessary tosatisfy the Company Law Board as to the bona fides of the companys applicationfor the proposed change [Orissa Chemicals and Distilleries Pvt. Ltd., in Re. AIR1961 Orissa 621]. The Company Law Board has the power either to confirm orrefuse toconfirm alteration relating to change/shifting of registered office.

    The company cannot do such change/shifting of office unless the Regional Directorconfirms it.

    To obtain confirmation, the company has to apply in the prescribed form. The confirmation must be communicated to the company within 4 weeks from the

    date of receipt of the application.

    Certified copy of the confirmation along with the attested copy of the Memorandumof Association must be filed with the ROC for registration within 2 months from thedate of confirmation.

    Within one month of filing, the ROC shall certify registration, which shall be theconclusive evidence that all requirements with respect to alteration and confirmationhave been complied with.

    (b) Concept of Sexual harassment:Sexual harassment is a situation in which an employeeis coerced into giving into another employee's sexual demands by the threat of losingsome significant job benefit, such as a promotion, raise, or even the job. This kind ofdegrading coercion exerted on employees who are vulnerable and defenseless inflictsgreat psychological harm on the employee, violates the employees most basic right tofreedom and dignity and is an unjust misuse of the unequal power that an employer can

    Question 5

    (a) State, in brief, the grounds on the basis of which a banker can dishonor a cheque under

    the provisions of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. (8 Marks)

    (b) Distinguish between pre-incorporation contracts and provisional contracts under the

    Companies Act, 1956. (4 Marks)(c) Draft a business letter, presuming your facts that you have received the goods from the

    company and you are sending payments. (4 Marks)

    Answer

    (a) Dishonour of Cheque Grounds: A banker will be justified or bound to dishonor acheque in the following cases, viz;

    If a cheque is undated, if it is stale, that is if it has not been presented withinreasonable period, which may vary three months to a year after its issue dependenton the circumstances of the case

    If the instrument is inchoate or not free from reasonable doubt If the cheque is post-dated and presented for payment before its ostensible date If the customers funds in the bankers hands are not properly applicable to the

    payment of cheque drawn by the former. Thus, should the funds in the bankershands be subject to a lien or should the banker be entitled to a set-off in respect ofthem, the funds cannot be said to be properly applicable to the payment of thecustomers cheque, and the banker would be justified in refusing payment.

    If the customer has credit with one branch of a bank and he draws a cheque uponanother branch of the same bank in which either he has account or his account isoverdrawn.

    If the bankers receive notice of customers insolvency or lunacy If the customer countermands the payment of cheque for the bankers duty and

    authority to pay on a cheque ceases

    If a garnishee or other legal order from the Court attaching or otherwise dealing withthe money in the hand of the banker, is served on the banker

    If the authority of the banker to honor a cheque of his customer is undermined bythe notice of the latters death. However, any payment made prior to the receipt ofthe notice of death is valid.

    If notice in respect of closure of the account is served by either party on the other. If it contains material alterations, irregular signature or irregular endorsement.

    (b) Pre-incorporation vs. Provisional Contracts: Following are the points of distinctionbetween Pre-incorporation contracts and Provisional-contracts:

    (i) Pre-incorporat ion contracts are those contracts, which are entered into, by thepersons proposing to float a company for prospective company before it has comeinto existence. Contracts which are entered into by a company after obtaining the

    certificate of incorporation but before getting the certificate to commence businessare known as provisional contracts.

    (ii) The company which is not in existence, is not bound by the pre-incorporationcontracts unless the company adopts the same after incorporation. There can be noratification in case of pre-incorporation contracts. Provisional contracts on the otherhand shall be binding upon the company from the date on which the company isentitled to commence business.

    (iii) Contracts entered into by a company after its incorporation and before it is entitledto commence business are provisional only and are not binding on the companyuntil the trading certificate is issued[Sec. 149(4) of the Companies Act, 1956]. Theexpressional provisional denotes that the contract should be read subject to animplied term that it shall not be binding until the company becomes entitled tocommence business. Consequently, should the company go into liquidation withoutcommencing business, such contracts cannot be enforced at all.

    As per the Notification No.G.S.R.523 (E),dated 18th June,2010 amendment made inEmployees Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme, 1976 by the Employees Deposit LinkedInsurance (Amendment) Scheme,2010, by the Ministry of Labour and Employment inParagraph 22, Sub-paragraph (1). This modified Employees Deposit Linked Insurance(Amendment) Scheme, 2010, Substituted the provision by-

    The Central Government amended the Employees Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme,1976 by Employees Deposit Linked Insurance (Amendment) Scheme, 2010. Accordingto which on the death of an employee, who is member of the Fund or of a provident fundexempted under section 17 of the Act, the person entitled to receive the provident fundaccumulations of the deceased shall, in addition to such accumulations be paid anamount, equal to the average balance in the account of the deceased in the fund or aprovident fund exempted under section 17 of the Act, as the case may be, duringpreceding twelve months or during the period of his membership, whichever is less,except where the average balance exceeds rupees fifty thousand, the amount payableshall be rupees fifty thousand plus 40% of the amount in excess of fifty thousand subjectto a ceiling of Rupees one lakh.

    This above provision says that the EDLI amount is equal to the average balance ofincumbents PF in the last 12 months or the overall balance, whichever is less. But if thebalance exceeds Rs.50,000, the incumbents nominee will get Rs.50,000 plus 40% ofthe excess balance up to a total of Rs. 1 lakh.

    (b) Conditions for commencement of business:A company having a share capital whichhas issued a prospectus inviting the public to subscribe for its shares cannot commenceany business or exercise any borrowing power unless:

    (a) the minimum number of shares which have to be paid for in cash has beensubscribed and allotted ;

    (b) every director has paid, in respect of shares for which he is bound to pay an amountequal to what is payable on shares offered to the public on application and allotment ;

    (c) no money is or may become liable to be paid to application of any shares ordebentures offered for public subscription by reason of any failure to apply for or toobtain permission for the shares or debentures to be dealt in on any recognisedStock Exchange, and

    (d) a statutory declaration by the secretary or one of the directors that the aforesaidrequirements have been complied with, is filed with the Registrar.

    (c) Criminal Liability for misstatements in the prospectus [Section 63, of the CompaniesAct, 1956]:Apart from the liability to compensate shareholders who have suffered a loss dueto untrue statement in the prospectus, directors and other persons responsible for the issue ofthe prospectus may also render themselves punishable with imprisonment for a term whichmay extend to two years or with fine up to fifty thousand rupees, or with both. That is to say,every person who had authorised the issue of the prospectus containing an untrue statementis prima facieguilty of criminal offence under Section 63 of the Act. However, such personsmay plead that the statement was immaterial or that they had reasonable ground to believeand did, up to the time of the issue of the prospectus, believe that the statement was true inorder to exonerate them from this criminal liability.

    (d) Social Accountability 8000: SA 8000 is a comprehensive, global, verifiable performance

    standard for auditing and certifying compliance with corporate responsibility.

SA8000 is an international standard for improving working conditions. This standard isbased on the principles of the international human rights norms as described in InternationalLabour Organization conventions, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Childand the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The requirements of this standard applyregardless of geographic location, industry sector, or company size.

    (e) Semantic Barriers to the communication: Semantics is the systematic study ofmeaning. That is why the problems arising from expression or transmission of meaning incommunication are called semantic problems. Oral or written communication is based on

    words. And words, limited in number, may be used in unlimited ways. The meaning is inthe mind of the sender and also in that of the receiver. But it is not always necessary forthe meaning in the mind of the sender to be the same as in the mind of receiver. Much,therefore, depends on how the sender encodes his message. The sender has to takecare that the receiver does not misconstrue his message, and gets the intendedmeaning. Quite often it does not happen in this way. That leads to semantic problems. Itcan be ensured only if we aim at clarity, simplicity and brevity so that the receiver getsthe intended meaning.

    Question 2

    (a) X Ltd. recovers overheads at a pre-determined rate of ` 50 per man-day. The total

    factory overheads incurred and the man-days actually worked were ` 79 lakhs and 1.5

    lakhs days respectively. During the period 30,000 units were sold. At the end of theperiod 5,000 completed units were held in stock but there was no opening stock of

    finished goods. Similarly, there was no stock of uncompleted units at the beginning of theperiod but at the end of the period there were 10,000 uncompleted units which may be

    treated as 50% complete.

    On analyzing the reasons, it was found that 60% of the unabsorbed overheads were due

    to defective planning and the balance were attributable to increase in overhead cost.

    How would unabsorbed overheads be treated in cost accounts? (8 Marks)

    Reasons for under-absorption:

    1. Defective Planning 4,00,000 x 60% = `2,40,000

    2. Increase in overhead cost 4,00,000 x 40% = `1,60,000

    Treatment in Cost Accounts:

    (i) The unabsorbed overheads of ` 2,40,000 on account of defective planning to be

    treated as abnormal and thus be charged to costing profit & loss account.

    (ii) The balance of unabsorbed overheads i.e. `1,60,000 be charged as below on thebasis of supplementary overhead absorption rate
