Following is a snapshot of audited balance sheet of company A as on 31st March 2014.
Company A’s equity shares are listed on Bombay Stock Exchange since 2010.
Liabilities ₹ in crores Assets ₹ in crores
Equity Share Capital 160 Fixed Assets 455
Securities Premium 200 Investments 200
General Reserve 150 Current Assets 50
Revaluation Reserve 40 Miscellaneous Expenditure 80
notwritten off
Profit and Loss A/c 75
Liabilities 160
Total 785 Total 785
Note – Revaluation Reserve would not be included in the calculation of net worth as per
definition mentioned in section 2(57) of The Companies Act, 2013
The company is a listed company and it does meet the net worth threshold of ₹ 500 Crores.
Hence it would be covered under phase I. Hence Ind AS would be applicable to the company
for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2016.
Even if Company A is an unlisted company as company A’s net worth is more than 500
Crores, it would be covered under Phase I of the road map and hence Ind AS would be
applicable for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2016.

Illustration 2
Let’s say in Illustration 1, the balance of profit and loss account is negative ₹ 375 crores.
When Ind AS should be applicable to Company A? Will you answer change if Company A is
an unlisted company?
Solution
If the balance of Profit and Loss A/c is negative 375 Crores, the net worth as per section
2(57) of The Companies Act, 2013 would be ₹ 55 Crores (Equity share capital ₹ 160 Cr +
Securities Premium ₹ 200 Cr + General Reserve ₹ 150 Cr – Debit balance of P&L ₹375 Cr –
Miscellaneous expenditure not written off ₹ 80 Cr). Hence, it does not meet the criteria as
mentioned in Phase I
i.e. Listed company or Net worth of ₹ 500 Cr or more.
However, as Company A is a listed company, it will irrespective be covered under Phase II
as the first criteria of phase II states “companies whose equity or debt securities are listed
or are in the process of being listed on any stock exchange in India or outside India and
having net worth of less than rupees five hundred crore”. Hence, Ind AS would be applicable
to Company A for the accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2017.
If Company A is an unlisted company, Ind AS would not be applicable until it breaches the
net worth criteria mentioned in the roadmap
Illustration 3
The net worth of Company B (an unlisted company) was ₹ 600 crores as on 31st March
2014. However due to losses incurred in FY 14-15, the net worth of the company was ₹ 400
Crores as on 31st March 2015. From when company B shall apply Ind AS?
Solution
Here the company’s net worth as on cut-off date was greater than ₹ 500 crores, which
suggests that it should be covered under phase I of the roadmap. A question may however
arise in mind that since, the net worth as on immediately preceding year-end was ₹ 400
crores, would the company be covered under phase II of the roadmap?
“It may be noted that the net worth shall be calculated in accordance with the stand-alone
financial statements of the company as on 31st March, 2014. Accordingly, if the net worth
threshold criteria for a company are once met, then it shall be required to comply with Ind
AS, irrespective of the fact that as on later date its net worth falls below the criteria
specified.”
In view of the above, the Company B will be required to follow Ind AS for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1st April 2016

Illustration 4
The net worth of Company C (an unlisted company) was ₹ 400 crores as on 31st March
2014. However, the net worth of the company was ₹ 600 Crores as on 31st March 2015.
From when company B shall apply Ind AS?
Solution
Similar issue has been encountered in ITFG Bulletin 1, Issue 1 which gives reference to
clause 2b of the notification wherein it is stated that:
“For companies which are not in existence on 31st March, 2014 or an existing company
falling under any of thresholds specified in sub-rule (1) for the first time after 31st March,
2014, the net worth shall be calculated on the basis of the first audited financial statements
ending after that date in respect of which it meets the thresholds specified in sub-rule (1)”
Hence, any company that meets the thresholds as specified in the Companies (Indian
Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015 in a particular financial year, Ind AS will become
applicable to such company in immediately next financial year. Hence, in the present case,
Company C is covered by Phase I of the roadmap and accordingly, Ind AS will be applicable
to Company C for accounting periods beginning on or after 1st April 2016

Company D is the parent company of group A. Company A is an unlisted company having
net worth of 60 crores as on 31st March 2014. Following are the other companies of the
group
Name of the company Relationship Net worth as on 31st March 2014
Company A and C are unlisted and do not exceed the net worth criteria. However, the net
worth of Company B exceeds ₹ 500 Crore hence it would be covered under Phase I of the
roadmap.
AS Ind AS be applicable to Company B, the parent company of Company B i.e. Company A
and subsidiary of Company B i.e. Company C would also get covered under Ind AS
irrespective of net worth criteria. Hence Ind AS would be applicable to all three companies
i.e. Company A, B and C

ABC Inc., incorporated in a foreign country has a net worth of ₹ 700 Crores. It has two
subsidiaries Company X whose net worth as on 31st March 2014 is ₹ 600 Crores and
Company Y whose net worth is ₹ 150 Crores. Whether Company X and Y would be required
to follow Ind AS from accounting periods commencing on or after 1st April 2016 on the
basis of their own net worth or on the basis of the net worth of ABC Inc.?
Solution
Similar issue has been dealt in ITFG Clarification Bulletin 2, Issue 2. ITFG noted that as per
Rule 4(1)(ii)(a) of the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, Company X
having net worth of ₹ 600 crores at the end of the financial year 2015-16, would be required
to prepare its financial statements for the accounting periods commencing from 1st April,
2016, as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. While Company Y
Ltd. having net worth of ₹ 150 crores in the year 2015-16, would be required to prepare its
financial statements as per the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006.
Since, the foreign company ABC Inc., is not a company incorporated under the Companies
Act, 2013 or the earlier Companies Act, 1956, it is not required to prepare its financial
statements as per the Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015. As the foreign
company is not required to prepare financial statements based on Ind AS, the net worth of
foreign company ABC would not be the basis for deciding whether Indian Subsidiary
Company X Ltd. and Company Y Ltd. are required to prepare financial statements based on
Ind AS.
Illustration 8
As per the roadmap, Ind AS is applicable to Company X from the financial year 2017-18.
Company X (non-finance company) is a subsidiary of Company Y (NBFC). Company Y is an
unlisted NBFC company having net worth of ₹ 400 crores. What will be the date of
applicability of Ind AS for company X and company Y? If Ind AS applicability date for parent
NBFC is different from the applicability date of corporate subsidiary, then, how will the
consolidated financial statements of parent NBFC be prepared?
Solution
In accordance with the roadmap, it may be noted that NBFCs having net worth of less than
500 crore shall apply Ind AS from 1 April, 2019 onwards. Further, the holding, subsidiary,
joint venture or associate company of such an NBFC other than those covered by corporate
roadmap shall also apply Ind AS from 1 April, 2019.
Accordingly, in the given case, Company Y (NBFC) shall apply Ind AS for the financial year
5
beginning 1 April, 2019 with comparative for the period ended 31 March, 2019 . Company
X shall apply Ind AS in its statutory individual financial statements from financial year 2017-
2018 (as per the corporate roadmap). However, for the purpose of Consolidation by
Company Y for financial years 2017-2018 and 2018-2019, Company X shall also prepare its
individual financial statements as per AS.

Question 1 (RTP May 23 – Q.6)
LT Ltd. is in the process of constructing a building. The construction process is expected to take
about 18 months from 1st January 20X1 to 30th June 20X2. The building meets the definition of a
qualifying asset. LT Ltd. incurs the following expenditure for the construction:
For each of the financial years ended 31st March 20X1, 20X2 and 20X3, calculate the borrowing
cost that LT Ltd. is permitted to capitalize as a part of the building cost.
Solution
Applying paragraph 17 of Ind AS 23 to the fact pattern, the entity would not begin capitalising
borrowing costs until it incurs borrowing costs (i.e. from 1st July, 20X1)
In determining the expenditures on a qualifying asset to which an entity applies the capitalisation
rate (paragraph 14 of Ind AS 23), the entity does not disregard expenditures on the qualifying asset
incurred before the entity obtains the general borrowings. Once the entity incurs borrowing costs
and therefore satisfies all three conditions in para 17 of Ind AS 23, it then applies paragraph 14 of
Ind AS 23 to determine the expenditures on the qualifying asset to which it applies the capitalisation
rate.
11
Calculation of borrowing cost for financial year 20X1-20X2
*LT Ltd. cannot capitalise borrowing costs before 1st July, 20X1 (the day it starts to incur borrowing
costs). Accordingly, this calculation uses a capitalization period from 1st July, 20X1 to 31st March,
20X2 for this expenditure.

Ind AS 24
17. SEL has applied for a term loan from a bank for business purposes. As per the loan
agreement, the loan required a personal guarantee of one of the directors of SEL to be
executed. In case of default by SEL, the director will be required to compensate for the
loss that bank incurs. Mr. Pure Joy, one of the directors had given guarantee to the
bank pursuant to which the loan was sanctioned to SEL. SEL does not pay premium or
fees to its director for providing this financial guarantee.
Whether SEL is required to account for the financial guarantee received from its director?
Will there be any disclosures under Ind AS 24?
Solution:
Ind AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments’, defines a financial guarantee contract as ‘a
contract that requires the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse the holder
for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in
accordance with the original or modified terms of a debt instrument.
Based on this definition, an evaluation is required to be done to ascertain whether the
contract between director and Bank qualifies as a financial guarantee contract as defined
in Appendix A to Ind AS 109. In the given case, it does qualify as a financial guarantee
contract as:
• the reference obligation is a debt instrument (term loan);
• the holder i.e. Bank is compensated only for a loss that it incurs (arising on
account of non-repayment); and
• the holder is not compensated for more than the actual loss incurred.
Ind AS 109 provides principles for accounting by the issuer of the guarantee. However,
it does not specifically address the accounting for financial guarantees by the beneficiary.
In an arm’s length transaction between unrelated parties, the beneficiaryof the financial
guarantee would recognise the guarantee fee or premium paid as an expense.
It is also pertinent to note that the entity needs to exercise judgment in assessing the
substance of the transaction taking into consideration relevant facts and circumstances,
for example, whether the director is being compensated otherwise for providing guarantee.
Based on such an assessment, an appropriate accounting treatment based on the
principles of Ind AS should be followed.
In the given case, SEL is the beneficiary of the financial guarantee and it does not pay
a premium or fees to its director for providing this financial guarantee. Accordingly,SEL
will not be required to account for such financial guarantee in its financialstatements
considering the unit of account as being the guaranteed loan, in which case the fair value
would be expected to be the face value of the loan proceeds that SEL received.
In the given case based on the limited facts provided, SEL will be required to make
necessary disclosures of such financial guarantee in accordance with Ind AS 24 as follows:
(a) the amount of the transactions;
(b) the amount of outstanding balances, including commitments, and:
(i) their terms and conditions, including whether they are secured, and the
13
nature of the consideration to be provided in settlement; and
(ii) details of any guarantees given or received;
(c) provisions for doubtful debts related to the amount of outstanding balances; and
(d) the expense recognised during the period in respect of bad or doubtful debts due from
related parties.

Question (RTP Nov 22 - Q.17)
Company S is a subsidiary of Company P.
Solution
To determine the diluted EPS of Company P, the diluted EPS of Company S has to be calculated
first.
Calculation of Company S’s diluted EPS:
Company S’s earnings for the period ₹ 30,000
Weighted average ordinary shares 10,000
Incremental shares (refer W.N.) 200
Company S’s diluted EPS ₹ 30,000/ (10,000 + 200)
₹ 2.94
15
All options are dilutive because their exercise price is below the average market price of Company S’s
ordinary shares for the period.
The incremental shares are calculated as follows:
Shares issued on assumed exercise of options 1,000
Less: Shares that would be issued at average market Price [(40 x 1,000)/50] (800)
Incremental shares 200
Determine the Basic EPS of the Company P for Year 1. Use the number of months or part of
months, rather than the number of days in the calculation of EPS.
Solution
Determination of numerator for calculation of Basic EPS
The first step in the basic EPS calculation is to determine the profit or loss that is attributable to
ordinary shareholders of Company P for the period.
Non-cumulative dividends paid on equity-classified preference shares are not deductedin arriving
at net profit or loss for the period, but they are not returns to ordinary shareholders. Accordingly,
16
these dividends are deducted from net profit or loss for the period in arriving at the numerator.

Question 1 (RTP Nov 22 – Q.7)
ABC Ltd. is in the business of manufacturing an apple beverage and requires large quantity of apples
to manufacture such beverage. In order to satisfy its requirement of apples, it enters into 3 years
lease contracts with owners of apple orchards. The lease contracts are mainly of two types:
(1) Contract 1: The owner of the apple orchard (i.e. the lessor) raises the apple trees to produce
apples. ABC Ltd. (i.e. lessee) makes a fixed annual payment to the owner of the apple
orchard who is required to cultivate the produce as per the specifications of ABC Ltd. ABC
Ltd. harvests the apples itself for fulfilling its requirement of apples.
(2) Contract 2: ABC Ltd. obtains the apple orchard from owner (i.e. the lessor) to raise the apple
trees for subsequent harvest of the apples to ensure that the apples are as per the
requirements of ABC Ltd. ABC Ltd. makes a fixed annual payment to the owner of the apple
orchards (i.e. the lessor).
Explain whether ABC Ltd. is engaged in agricultural activity as per Ind AS 41 in both of the cases?
Solution
Paragraph 5 of Ind AS 41, Agriculture defines agricultural activity and biological transformation as
follows:
“Agricultural activity is the management by an entity of the biological transformation and harvest of
biological assets for sale or for conversion into agricultural produce or into additional biological
assets.”
Contract 1:
As per contract 1, during the 3 years of the contract, ABC Ltd. only harvests apples from the apple
orchards whereas biological transformation is managed by the owners of the apple orchards (i.e.
the lessor). Since ABC Ltd. is not involved in the biological transformation of the apple orchards and
is only harvesting biological assets , it cannot be said to be an agricultural activity as per Ind AS 41.
Hence, ABC Ltd. is not engaged in agricultural activity as per Ind AS 41.
Contract 2:
As per contract 2, ABC Ltd. obtains the apple orchards and is actively involved in the raising of apple
trees in order to ensure that the apples are as per its requirements. Since, it is actively managing
the biological transformation and harvest of biological asset, Hence, ABC Ltd. is engaged in
agricultural activity as per Ind AS 41.

Question 5 (RTP May 23 - Q.5)
ABC Ltd., a public limited company, is in the business of exploration and production of oil
and gas and other hydrocarbon related activities outside India. It operates overseas
projects directly and/or through subsidiaries, by participation in various joint
arrangements and investment in associates. The company was following Accounting
Standards as notified under the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules until 31st
March, 2011. However, it has adopted Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) with effect
from 1st April, 2011.
The goodwill recognised in accordance with AS 21 and AS 27 was due to corporate
structure and the line-by-line consolidation of subsidiaries’/proportionate consolidation of
jointly controlled entities’ financial statements which was prepared on historical costs
convention. ABC Ltd. has not taken into consideration the valuation of underlying oil and
gas reserves for which excess amount (i.e. goodwill calculated as per the relevant AS
requirements) has been paid by the company at the time of acquisition. The company
further considered that in oil and gas companies, the goodwill generated on acquisition of
mineral rights either through jointly controlled entities or subsidiaries, inherently derives
its value from the underlying mineral rights and, accordingly, value of such goodwill
depletes as the underlying mineral resources are extracted.
Therefore, taking a prudent approach and considering the above substance, the
company amortised the goodwill in respect of its subsidiaries / jointly controlled assets
over the life of the underlying mineral rights using Unit of Production method. This
allowed the company to utilise the value of goodwill over the life of mineral rights and
completely charging off the goodwill over the life of the reserves.
For financial year 2010-2011, the company has availed transition exemption under Ind
AS 101 and has not applied the principles of Ind AS 103 .
ABC Ltd. considering the substance over form of the goodwill to be in the nature of
'acquisition costs' intends to continue amortisation of the goodwill recognised under AS in
respect of its subsidiaries / joint ventures (jointly controlled entities under AS) over the life
of the underlying mineral rights using Unit of Production method, under Ind AS also post
transition date.
Comment on appropriateness of the accounting treatment, under Ind AS, for amortisation
of the goodwill by the company and state whether the accounting treatment in respect of
amortisation of goodwill is correct or not.
Solution
Ind AS 101 states that the carrying amount of goodwill or capital reserve in the opening
Ind AS Balance Sheet shall be its carrying amount in accordance with previous GAAP at
the date of transition to Ind AS after the two adjustments. One of the adjustment states
that the standard requires the first -time adopter to recognise an intangible asset that was
subsumed in recognised goodwill or capital reserve in accordance with previous GAAP,
the first -time adopter shall decrease the carrying amount of goodwill or increase the
carrying amount of capital reserve accordingly (and, if applicable, adjust deferred tax and
non-controlling interests)
As per the facts given, the entity paid excess amount to avail the rights to use the
underlying oil and gas reserves. However, since the rights was not recorded in the books
at that time, the value of goodwill subsumed the value of that intangible asset which
1
24
should be separately identified in the books. Hence, value of goodwill will be reduced
accordingly and intangible asset for rights for using mine should be recognised.
Further, regardless of whether there is any indication that the goodwill may be impaired,
the first-time adopter shall apply Ind AS 36 in testing the goodwill for impairment at the
date of transition to Ind AS and in recognising any resulting impairment loss in retained
earnings (or, if so required by Ind AS 36, in revaluation surplus). The impairment test
shall be based on conditions at the date of transition to Ind AS. No other adjustments (eg-
previous amortisation of goodwill) shall be made to the carrying amount of goodwill /
capital reserve at the date of tr ansition to Ind AS.
However, once goodwill is recognised in the opening transition date balance sheet, the
entity has to follow the provisions of Ind AS, which states that goodwill is not amortised
but rather tested for impairment annually. Accordingly, the amortization of goodwill
based on ‘Unit of Production’ method is not correct after implementation of Ind AS.

Question 1 (RTP Nov 22 - Q.13)
A Ltd. owns 20 resorts across India. Every customer who stays in any of the resorts owned
by A Ltd. is entitled to get points on the basis of total amount paid by him. Under this
scheme, 1 point is granted for every ₹ 100 spent for stay in the resort. As per the past
experience of A Ltd., the likelihood of exercise of the points is 100% and the standalone
price of each such point is ₹ 5. Customer X spends ₹ 10,000 in one of the resorts of A Ltd.
What is the accounting treatment for the points granted by A Ltd.?
Solution
Ind AS 115, inter alia, states that, “if in a contract, an entity grants a customer the option to
acquire additional goods or services, that option gives rise to a separate performance
obligation only if the option provides a material right to the customer that it would not
receive without entering into that contract”.
Further, Ind AS 115 states that if a customer has the option to acquire an additional good or
service at a price that would reflect the stand-alone selling price for that good or service,
that option does not provide the customer with a material right even if the option can be
exercised only by entering into a previous contract. In those cases, the entity has made a
marketing offer that it shall account for in accordance with this Standard only when the
customer exercises the option to purchase the additional goods or services.
In the given case, the customer does get a material right by way of a discount of ₹ 500 for
every 100 points that he would not receive without the previous stay in that resort. Thus,
the customer in effect pays the entity in advance for future goods and the entity recognises
revenue when the goods are transferred.
Accordingly Ind AS 115 requires an entity to allocate the transaction price to performance
obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. If the standalone selling price for a
customer’s option to acquire additional goods or services is not directly observable, an
entity shall estimate it on the basis of percentage discount the customer may obtain upon
exercising the option and the likelihood of the option getting exercised.
In accordance with above, an entity shall account for award credit as a separate
performance obligation of the sales transactions in which they are initially granted. The
value of the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in respect of the initial sale shall
be allocated between the award credits and the other components of the sale.
In the current case, the standalone selling price of the 100 points is ₹ 500. A Ltd. should
allocate the fair value of the consideration (i.e. ₹ 10,000) between the points and the other
components of the sale as ₹ 476 (500/10,500 x 10,000) and ₹ 9,524 (10,000/10,500 x
10,000) respectively in proportion of their standalone selli ng price. Since A Ltd. supplies
the awards itself (i.e. it acts as a principal), it should recognise ₹ 476 as revenue when
points are redeemed.

Question 1 (RTP May 23 - Q.7)
Company X enters into an agreement on 1st January, 2011 with a customer for
renovation of hospital and install new air-conditioners for total consideration of ₹
50,00,000. The promised renovation service, including the installation of new air -
conditioners is a single performance obligation satisfied over time. Total expected costs
are ₹ 40,00,000 including ₹ 10,00,000 for the air-conditioners. Company X determines
that it acts as a principal in accordance with Ind AS 115 because it obtains control of the
air conditioners before they are transferred to the customer. The customer obtains control
of the air conditioners when they are delivered to the hospital premises.
Company X uses an input method based on costs incurred to measure its progress
towards complete satisfaction of the performance obligation.
As at 31st March, 2011, other costs incurred excluding the air conditioners are ₹ 6,00,000.
Whether Company X should include cost of the air conditioners in measure of its
progress of performance obligation? How should revenue be recognized for the year
ended 31st March, 2011?
Solution
Ind AS 115 inter alia, states that, “an entity shall exclude from an input method the effects
of any inputs that, in accordance with the objective of measuring progress, do not depict
the entity’s performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer”.
In accordance with the above, Company X assesses whether the costs incurred to
procure the air conditioners are proportionate to the entity’s progress in satisfying the
performance obligation. The costs incurred to procure the air conditioners i.e ₹
10,00,000 are significantly relative to the total costs to completely satisfy the performance
obligation i.e. ₹ 40,00,000. Also, Company X is not involved in manufacturing or
designing of air conditioners.
Company X concludes that including the costs to procure the air conditioners in the
measure of progress would overstate the extent of the entity’s performance.
Consequently, in accordance with Ind AS 115, the entity adjusts its measure of progress
to exclude the costs to procure the air conditioners from the measure of costs incurred
and from the transaction price. The entity recognises revenue for the transfer of the air
conditioners at an amount equal to the costs to procure the air conditioners (i.e., at a zero
margin). Accordingly, the total revenue on account of renovation would be ₹ 50,00,000 –
₹ 10,00,000 = ₹ 40,00,000.
Company X assesses that as at 31st March, 2011, the performance is 20% complete
(i.e., ₹ 6,00,000 / ₹ 30,00,000).
Total revenue from renovation work would be
= ₹ 50,00,000 – ₹ 10,00,000 = ₹ 40,00,000.
27
Consequently, as at 31st March, 2011, Company X recognises the following:
Particulars ₹
Revenue [( ₹ 40,00,000 x 20%) + ₹ 10,00,000] 18,00,000
Less: Cost of goods ( ₹ 6,00,000 of costs incurred

RTP Nov 2022 Que 2
Ind AS 116
A company manufactures specialised machinery. The company offers customers the choice of
either buying or leasing the machinery. A customer chooses to lease the machinery. Details
of the arrangement are as follows:
(i) The lease commences on 1st April, 20X1 and lasts for three years.
(ii) The lessee is required to make three annual rentals payable in arrears of
₹ 57,500.
(iii) The leased machinery is returned to the lessor at the end of the lease.
(iv) The fair value of the machinery is ₹ 1,50,000, which is equivalent to the selling price of
the machinery
(v) The machinery cost ₹ 1,00,000 to manufacture. The lessor incurred cost s of ₹ 2,500 to
negotiate and arrange the lease.
(vi) The expected useful life of the machinery is 3 years. The machinery has an expected
residual value of ₹ 10,000 at the end of year three. The estimated residual value does not
change over the term of the lease.
(vii) The interest rate implicit in the lease is 10.19%.
The lessor classifies the lease as a finance lease.
How should the Lessor account for the same in its books of accounts? Pass necessary
journal entries.
Solution:
The cost to the lessor for providing the machinery on lease consists of the book value of the
machinery (₹ 1,00,000), plus the initial direct costs associated with entering into the lease (₹
2,500), less the future income expected from disposing of the machinery at the end of the
lease (the present value of the unguaranteed residual value of ₹ 10,000 discounted
@ 10.19%, being ₹ 7,470). This gives a cost of sale of ₹ 95,030.
The lessor records the following entries at the commencement of the lease:
₹ ₹
Lease receivable Dr. 1,50,000
Cost of sales Dr. 95,030
To Inventory 1,00,000
To Revenue 1,42,530
To Creditors/Cash 2,500
The sales profit recognised by the lessor at the commencement of the lease is therefore
₹ 47,500 (₹ 1,42,530 - ₹ 95,030). This is equal to the fair value of the machinery of
₹ 1,50,000, less the book value of the machinery (₹ 1,00,000) and the initial direct costs of
entering into the lease (₹ 2,500). Revenue is equal to the lease receivable (₹
1,50,000), less the present value of the unguaranteed residual value (₹ 7,470).

How will Entity Y account for the incentive in the following scenarios:
Scenario A:
Entity Y (lessor) enters into an operating lease of property with Entity X (lessee) for a five-year term
at a monthly rental of ₹ 1,10,000. In order to induce Entity X to enter into the lease, Entity Y
provides ₹ 6,00,000 to Entity X at lease commencement for lessee improvements (i.e., lessee’s
assets).
Scenario B:
Entity Y (lessor) enters into an operating lease of property with Entity X (lessee) for a five-year term at a
monthly rental of ₹ 1,10,000. At lease commencement, Entity Y provides ₹ 6,00,000 to Entity X for
leasehold improvements which will be owned by Entity Y (i.e., lessor’s assets). The estimated useful
life of leasehold improvements is 5 years
Solution
Para 70 of Ind AS 116 state that at the commencement date, the lease payments included in the
measurement of the net investment in the lease comprise the following payments for the right to use
the underlying asset during the lease term that are not received at the commencement date:
(a) fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments as described in para B42),
less any lease incentives payable;
(b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, in itially measured
using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
(c) 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;
(d) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that
option (assessed considering the factors described in para B37); and
(e) payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee
exercising an option to terminate the lease.
Further para 71 of the standard states that a lessor shall recognise lease payments from
operating leases as income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. The lessor
shall apply another systematic basis if that basis is more representative of the pattern in which
benefit from the use of the underlying asset is diminished.”
Scenario A
In accordance with above, in the given case, at lease commencement, Entity Y accounts for the
incentive as follows:
To account for the lease incentive

value of contingent consideration is ` 25 lakhs.
During the year ended 31 st March, 20X2, the profit before interest and tax of B Ltd.
exceeded ` 1 crore. As on 31 st March, 20X2, the fair value of shares of A Ltd. is
` 25 per share.
(b) Continuing with the fact pattern in (a) above except for:
• The number of shares to be issued after one year is not fixed.

15. HVCL manufactures heavy equipment for construction industry. An order for supply of
90 equipment was received from ABIL. The unit price of the equipment was agreed at
` 190 lakhs each. 64 equipment was supplied during the year 20X1-20X2 and balance
quantity remaining to be supplied as on 31.3.20X2. HVCL has 5 equipment in its
inventory as on 31.3.20X2. HVCL considered that the contract was an onerous contract
and therefore, the net realisable value of inventory has been taken as value of inventory
as on 31.3.20X2.
The management of HVCL contends that costs incurred towards administrative
overheads, finance charges, R & D expenses, sales overhead, head quarter expenditure
etc., are considered as period cost and hence not considered for creation of provision.
Hence, the same have not been included in the computation of unavoidable cost.
The management of HVCL has submitted the details of costs that have been considered
for creation of provision towards onerous contract:
o Material cost - includes cost of material procured, cost of freight & insurance
incurred for material procurement and handling, loading and unloading charges
incurred.
o Labour cost/ Factory Overheads - includes salaries and other expenses of direct
production department, and also expenses allocated from indirect departments to
direct department.
o Material Overheads - Includes salaries and other expenses (including expenses
allocated from other departments) booked under departments linked with materials
like purchases, stores and quality control.
Accordingly, provision has been made considering the above costs only. The value of
provision created for 21 remaining equipment to be produced is as per the working shown
below:

Whether the company's accounting treatment of cost for creation of provision towards
onerous contracts is in line with the provisions of Ind AS 37?
On 31st March, 20X3, because of financial difficulties, the employee asked to extend the
interest-free loan for further three years. The entity agreed. Under the restructured
terms, repayment will take place on 31 st March, 20X7. However, the entity only expects
to receive a payment of ` 2,50,000, given the financial difficulty of the employee.
Explain the accounting treatment on initial recognition of loan and after giving effect of
the changes in the terms of the loan as per Ind AS 109. Support your answer with Journal
entries and amortised cost calculation, as on the date of initial recognition and on the
date of change in terms of loan.

20. While preparing interim financial statements for the half-year ended
30th September, 20X1, an entity notes that there has been an under-accrual of certain
expenses in the interim financial statements for the first quarter ended 30 th June, 20X1.
The amount of under accrual is assessed to be material in the context of interim financial
statements. However, it is expected that the amount would be immaterial in the context
of the annual financial statements. The management is of the view that there is no ne ed
to correct the error in the interim financial statements considering that the amount is
expected to be immaterial from the point of view of the annual financial statements.
Whether the management’s view is acceptable?
ANSWERS
While preparing the financial statements for the financial year 20X3 -20X4, an error has
been discovered which occurred in the year 20X1-20X2, i.e., for the period which was
earlier than earliest prior period presented. The error should be corrected by restating
the opening balances of relevant assets and/or liabilities and relevant component of
equity for the year 20X2-20X3. This will result in consequential restatement of balances
as at 1 st April, 20X2 (i.e, opening balance sheet as at 1st April, 20X2).
Accordingly, on retrospective calculation of Share based options with respect to 80,000
options, Nuogen Ltd. will create ‘Share based payment reserve (equity)’ by ` 16,00,000
and correspondingly adjust the same though Retained earnings.
For 40,000 share based options to be vested on 31 st March, 20X5:
Since share-based options have not been vested before transition date, no option as per
Ind AS 101 is available to Nuogen Ltd. The entity will apply Ind AS 102 retrospectively.
However, Nuogen Ltd. did not account for the same at the grant date. This will result in
consequential restatement of balances as at 1 st April, 20X2 (i.e, opening balance sheet
as at 1st April, 20X2). Adjustment is to be made by recognising the ‘Share based
payment reserve (equity)’ and adjusting the retained earnings by ` 2,00,000.
Further, expenses for the year ended 31 st March, 20X3 and share based payment
reserve (equity) as at 31 st March, 20X3 were understated because of non-recognition of
‘employee benefits expense’ and related reserve. To correct the above errors in the
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 st March, 20X4, the entity should
restate the comparative amounts (i.e., those for the year ended 31 st March, 20X3) in the
statement of profit and loss. In the given case, ‘Share based payment reserve (equity)’
would be credited by ` 2,00,000 and ‘employee benefits expense’ would be debited by
` 2,00,000
For the year ending 31 st March, 20X4, ‘Share based payment reserve (equity)’ would be
credited by ` 2,00,000 and ‘employee benefits expense’ would be debited by ` 2,00,000.

4. Exceptional items have not been defined in Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS ).
However, paragraph 97 of Ind AS 1 requires that when items of income or expense are
material, an entity shall disclose their nature and amount separately.
As per Ind AS 1, information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could
reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose
financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provi de
financial information about a specific reporting entity. Materiality depends on the nature
or magnitude of information, or both and it could be the determining factor.
When items of income and expense within profit or loss from ordinary activities are of
such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the performance
of the enterprise for the period, the nature and amount of such items should be disclosed
separately.
Generally, items of income or expense fulfilling the abovementioned criteria are
classified as exceptional items and are disclosed separately.
From the above, it appears that all material items are not exceptional items. In other
words, exceptional items are those items which meet the test of ‘materiality’ (si ze and
nature) and the test of ‘incidence’.
Following are some examples which may give rise to a separate disclosure of items as
an ‘exceptional item’ in financial statements if they meet the test of ‘materiality’ and
‘incidence’:
(a) write-downs of inventories to net realisable value or of property, plant and
equipment to recoverable amount, as well as reversals of such write-downs;
(b) restructurings of the activities of an entity and reversals of any provisions for the
costs of restructuring;
(c) disposals of items of property, plant and equipment;
(d) disposals of investments;
(e) discontinued operations;
(f) litigation settlements; and
(g) other reversals of provisions.
5. Reconciliation of income tax expense and current tax as per accounting profit
for the year ended 31 st March, 20X1
Particulars ` in crore
Accounting profit 594.00
Tax at the applicable tax rate of 30% 178.20
Tax effect of expenses that are not deductible in determining
taxable profits:
Penalties (1.00 x 30%) 0.30
Impairment of goodwill (44.00 x 30%) 13.20
Corporate social responsibility expense (6.00 x 30%) 1.80 15.30
Considering the above guidance, while preparing its interim financials, the transactions
and events of the given case should be dealt with as follows:
(i) If employer contributions to government-sponsored insurance funds are assessed
on an annual basis, the employer’s related expense is recognised using an
estimated average annual effective contribution rate in its interim financial
statements, even though a large portion of the payments have been made early in
the financial year. Accordingly, it should work out an average effective contribution
rate and account for the same accordingly, in its interim financials.
(ii) The cost of a planned overhaul expenditure that is expected to occur in later part
of the year is not anticipated for interim reporting purposes unless an event has
caused the entity to have a legal or constructive obligation. The mere intention or
necessity to incur expenditure related to the future is not sufficient to give rise to
an obligation.
(iii) A bonus is anticipated for interim reporting purposes, if and only if,
(a) the bonus is a legal obligation or past practice would make the bonus a
constructive obligation for which the entity has no realistic alternative but to
make the payments, and
(b) a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Ind AS 19, Employee
Benefits provides guidance in this regard.
A liability for bonus may arise out of legal agreement or constructive obligation
because of which it has no alternative but to pay the bonus and accordingly, needs
to be accrued in the annual financial statements.
Bonus liability is accrued in interim financial statements on the same basis as they
are accrued for annual financial statements. In the instant case, bonus liability of
10% of operating profit for the year to date may be accrued.
In the given case, since the company has past record of declaring annual bonus
every year, the same may be accrued using a reasonable estimate (applying the
principles of Ind AS 19, Employee Benefits) while preparing its interim results.
7. Paragraph 5 of Ind AS 41, Agriculture defines agricultural activity and biological
transformation as follows:
“Agricultural activity is the management by an entity of the biological transformation and
harvest of biological assets for sale or for conversion into agricultural produce or into
additional biological assets.”
“Biological transformation comprises the processes of growth, degeneration, production,
and procreation that cause qualitative or quantitative changes in a biological asset.”
Contract 1:
As per contract 1, during the 3 years of the contract, ABC Ltd. only harvests apples from
the apple orchards whereas biological transformation is managed by the owners of the
apple orchards (i.e. the lessor). Since ABC Ltd. is not involved in the biological
transformation of the apple orchards and is only harvesting biological assets , it cannot
be said to be an agricultural activity as per Ind AS 41. Hence, ABC Ltd. is not engaged
in agricultural activity as per Ind AS 41.
Contract 2:
As per contract 2, ABC Ltd. obtains the apple orchards and is actively involved in the
raising of apple trees in order to ensure that the apples are as per its requirements.
Since, it is actively managing the biological transformation and harvest of biological
asset, Hence, ABC Ltd. is engaged in agricultural activity as per Ind AS 41.

Since Phase I and Phase II have become operational at mid of the year, half of the
interest amount of ` 6,65,158.50 (i.e. ` 13,30,317/2) relating to Phase I and
Phase II should be capitalized (in the ratio of asset costs 34:64) and added to
respective assets in Phase I and Phase II and remaining half of the interest amount
of ` 6,65,158.50 (i.e. ` 13,30,317/2) relating to Phase I and Phase II should be
expensed off during the year.
2. For Phase III and Phase IV
Interest of ` 16,69,683 relating to Phase III and Phase IV should be held in Capital
Work-in-Progress till assets construction work is completed, and thereafter
capitalized in the ratio of cost of assets. No part of this interest amount should be
charged/expensed off during the year since the work on these phases has not been
completed yet.
9. Paragraph 39 of Ind AS 103 provides that the consideration the acquirer transfers in
exchange for the acquiree includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent
consideration arrangement. The acquirer shall recognise the acquisition-date fair value
of contingent consideration as part of the consideration transferred in exchange for the
acquiree.
With respect to contingent consideration, obligations of an acquirer under contingent
consideration arrangements are classified as equity or a liability in accordance with
Ind AS 32
Paragraph 58 of Ind AS 103 provides guidance on the subsequent accounting for
contingent consideration.
(a) (i) In the given case, the amount of purchase consideration to be recognized
on initial recognition shall as follows:
Fair value shares issued (10,00,000 x ` 20) ` 2,00,00,000
Fair value of contingent consideration ` 25,00,000
Total purchase consideration ` 2,25,00,000
(ii) Subsequent measurement of contingent consideration payable for
business combination
In the given case, given that the acquirer has an obligation to issue fixed
number of shares on fulfillment of the contingency, the contingent
consideration will be classified as equity as per the requirements of Ind AS 32.
As per paragraph 58 of Ind AS 103, contingent consideration classified as
equity should not be re-measured and its subsequent settlement should be
accounted for within equity.
In the given case, the obligation to pay contingent consideration amounting to
` 25,00,000 is recognised as a part of equity and therefore not be re-measured
subsequently or on issuance of shares.
(b) (i) In the given case, the amount of purchase consideration to be recognized
on initial recognition is as follows:
Fair value shares issued (10,00,000 x ` 20) ` 2,00,00,000
Fair value of contingent consideration ` 25,00,000
Total purchase consideration ` 2,25,00,000
(ii) Subsequent measurement of contingent consideration payable for
business combination
In the given case, the contingent consideration will be classified as liability as
per Ind AS 32.

13. Paragraph B40 of Ind AS 115, inter alia, states that, “if in a contract, an entity grants a
customer the option to acquire additional goods or services, that option gives rise to a
separate performance obligation only if the option provides a material right to the
customer that it would not receive without entering into that contract”.
Further, paragraph B41 states that if a customer has the option to acquire an additional
good or service at a price that would reflect the stand-alone selling price for that good or
service, that option does not provide the customer with a material right even if the option
can be exercised only by entering into a previous contract. In those cases, the entity has
made a marketing offer that it shall account for in accordance with this Standard only
when the customer exercises the option to purchase the additional goods or services .
In the given case, the customer does get a material right by way of a discount of ` 500
for every 100 points that he would not receive without the previous stay in that resort.
Thus, the customer in effect pays the entity in advance for future goods and the entity
recognises revenue when the goods are transferred.
According to paragraph B42, paragraph 74 requires an entity to allocate the transaction
price to performance obligations on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. If the
standalone selling price for a customer’s option to acquire additional goods or services
is not directly observable, an entity shall estimate it on the basis of percentage discount
the customer may obtain upon exercising the option and the likelihood of the option
getting exercised.
In accordance with above, an entity shall account for award credit as a separate
performance obligation of the sales transactions in which they are initially granted. The
value of the consideration the entity expects to be entitled in respect of the initial sale
shall be allocated between the award credits and the other components of the sale.
In the current case, the standalone selling price of the 100 points is ` 500. A Ltd. should
allocate the fair value of the consideration (i.e. ` 10,000) between the points and the
other components of the sale as ` 476 (500/10,500 x 10,000) and ` 9,524
(10,000/10,500 x 10,000) respectively in proportion of their standalone selli ng price.
Since A Ltd. supplies the awards itself (i.e. it acts as a principal), it should recognise
` 476 as revenue when points are redeemed.
14. Paragraph 18 of Ind AS 105 provides that immediately before the initial classification of
the asset (or disposal group) as held for sale, the carrying amounts of the asset (or all
the assets and liabilities in the group) shall be measured in accordance with applicable
Ind AS.
In the instant case, Company A should measure the property, plant and equipment (for
which it has adopted cost model), in accordance with Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and
Equipment. Hence, depreciation should be provided upto 31 st May, 20X0.
15. As per para 68 of Ind AS 37, onerous contract is a contract in which the unavoidable
costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits
expected to be received under it. The unavoidable cost under a contract reflects the
least net cost of exiting from the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and
any compensation for penalties arising from failure to fulfilling it.
Ind AS 37 provides that the amount recognised shall be the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the present obligation, which is the amount that an entity
would rationally pay to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period or to transfer
it to a third party at that time. In case of onerous contracts, an amount that an entity
would rationally pay to settle the obligation would be the lower of the compensation or
penalties arising from failure to fulfil the contacts and excess of unavoidable cost of
meeting the obligations under the contract from the economic benefits expected to be
received under it.
As per para 68 of Ind AS 37, the cost of fulfilling a contract comprises the costs that
relate directly to the contract. Costs that relate directly to a contract consist of both -
(a) the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract—for example, direct labour and
materials; and
(b) an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts — for example,
an allocation of the depreciation charge for an item of property, plant and equipment
used in fulfilling that contract among others.
The unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract are only costs that:
• "are directly variable with the contract and therefore incremental to the performance
of the contract;"
• do not include allocated or shared costs that will be incurred regardless of whether
the entity fulfils the contract or not; and
• cannot be avoided by the entity's future actions.
Accordingly, HVCL has correctly measured the cost for creation of provision for onerous
contracts by considering material cost, labour cost (to the extent it relates directly to
production) and material overheads (to the extent it relates directly to production).
Further, HVCL is correct that the period cost will not be considered for measurement of
cost for the purpose of creation of provision on onerous contracts as they do not relate
directly to fulfilling the contracts.
16. (i) Calculation of Inventory cost:
Particulars Amount (`)
Purchase Price (1,30,000 – 20,000 – 10,000) 1,00,000
Non-refundable import duties 20,000
Transport cost 5,000
Total 1,25,000
Note: The cost of purchase excludes the refundable purchase taxes paid on
acquisition of the goods as the ` 10,000 paid will be refunded to the retailer.
Ind AS 2 specifically exclude selling cost from forming part of cost of inventory .
However, selling and distribution costs are generally used as single term because
both are related, as selling costs are incurred to effect the sale and the distribution
costs are incurred by the seller to complete a sale transaction by making the goods
available to the buyer from the point of sale to the point at which the buyer takes
possession. Since these costs are not related to bringing the goods to their present
location and condition, the same are not included in the cost of inventories.
Accordingly, though the word ‘distribution costs’ is not specifically mentioned in Ind
AS 2, these costs would continue to be excluded from the cost of inventories.
Therefore, it excludes the selling expenses incurred (i.e., ` 2,000 delivery costs
and ` 3,000 other selling costs).
(ii) Paragraph 16 of Ind AS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, inter alia states that the
cost of an item of property, plant and equipment comprises 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.
Further, paragraph 18 of Ind AS 16 states that an entity applies Ind AS 2 to the
costs of obligations for dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which an
item is located that are incurred during a particular period as a consequence of
having used the item to produce inventories during that period. The obligations for
costs accounted for in accordance with Ind AS 2 or Ind AS 16 are recognised and
measured in accordance with Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and
Contingent Assets.
Paragraph 16 of Ind AS 16 clarifies that decommissioning costs that meet the
recognition criteria under Ind AS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets, for a provision are added to the cost of an item of property, plant and
equipment if such costs are not incurred through the asset’s use to produce
inventories. Paragraph 18 fills the gap by clarifying where such costs are incurred
through the asset’s use to produce inventories, they are added to the cost of
inventories.
Where the obligation to restore the asset arises due to the use of the asset to
produce inventories but not due to the asset’s installation, construction or
acquisition, the costs are added to the costs of inventories.
Based on the above provisions and discussion, cost of restoring the site ` 20,000
incurred during the period of production as a consequence of having used the item
to produce inventories during that period should be added to the cost of inventories.
However, later the inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable
value in accordance with paragraph 9 of Ind AS 2.
17. To determine the diluted EPS of Company P, the diluted EPS of Company S has to be
calculated first.
Calculation of Company S’s diluted EPS:
Company S’s earnings for the period ` 30,000
Weighted average ordinary shares 10,000
Incremental shares (refer W.N.) 200
Company S’s diluted EPS ` 30,000/ (10,000 + 200)
` 2.94
18. As the loan is not at a market interest rate, hence it is not recorded at the transaction price
of ` 5,00,000. Instead, the entity measures the loan receivable at the present value of the
future cash inflows discounted at a market rate of interest available for a similar loan.
The present value of the loan receivable (financial asset) discounted at 5% per year is
` 5,00,000 ÷ (1.05) 3 = ` 4,32,000. Therefore, ` 4,32,000 is recorded on initial
measurement of the loan receivable. This amount will accrete to ` 5,00,000 over the
three-year term using the effective interest method.
The difference between ` 5,00,000 and ` 4,32,000 i.e., ` 68,000 is accounted for as
prepaid employee cost in accordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’, which will be
deferred and amortised over the period of loan on straight line basis.
The journal entries on initial recognition are:
` `
Loan receivable (financial asset) Dr. 4,32,000
Prepaid employee cost (asset) Dr. 68,000
To Cash / Bank (financial asset) 5,00,000
(Being loan granted to the employee recognised)
Property mentioned in (a) above would be covered under Ind AS 16 ‘Property, Plant and
Equipment’.
On applying the above provisions, Floor 1 of the building is classified as an item of
investment property by the entity (lessor) because it is held to earn rentals. Ind AS 40
is applicable in this case. An investment property should be measured initially at its cost.
After initial recognition, an entity shall measure all of its investment properties in
accordance with Ind AS 16’s requirements for cost model. However, entities are required
to measure the fair value of investment property, for the purpose of disclosure even
though they are required to follow the cost model.
Floor 2 of the building will be classified as property, plant and equipment because it is
held by administrative staff i.e. it is held for use for administrative purposes. Ind AS 16
is applicable in this case. An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for
recognition as an asset should be initially measured at its cost. After recognition, 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.
20. Paragraph 41 of Ind AS 8, inter alia, states that 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, financia l performance
or cash flows.
As regards the assessment of materiality of an item in preparing interim financial
statements, paragraph 25 of Ind AS 34, Interim Financial Statements, states that while
judgement is always required in assessing materiality, this Standard bases the
recognition and disclosure decision on data for the interim period by itself for reasons of
understandability of the interim figures. Thus, for example, unusual items, changes in
accounting policies or estimates, and errors are recognised and disclosed on the basis
of materiality in relation to interim period data to avoid misleading inferences that might
result from non-disclosure. The overriding goal is to ensure that an interim financial
report includes all information that is relevant to understanding an entity’s financial
position and performance during the interim period.
As per the above, while materiality judgements always involve a degree of subjectivity,
the overriding goal is to ensure that an interim financial report includes all the information
that is relevant to an understanding of the financial position and performance of the entity
during the interim period. It is therefore not appropriate to base quantitative assessments
of materiality on projected annual figures when evaluating errors in interim financial
statements.
Accordingly, the management is required to correct the error in the interim financial
statements since it is assessed to be material in relation to interim period data.
On 1 January 2015, the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the originalfinancial liability
is ` 10,00,000.
On this date, XYZ Ltd. will compute the present value of:
cash flows under the new terms – i.e. ` 15,00,000 payable on 31 December 20Y1 and
` 50,000 payable for each of the 7 years ending 31 December 20Y1.
any fee paid (net of any fee received) – i.e. ` 1,00,000
The next step is to estimate the fair value of the modified liability. This is determined as the present value of
the future cash flows (interest and principal), using an interest rate of 11% (the market rate at which XYZ Ltd.
could issue new bonds with similar terms). The estimated fair value on this basis is ` 958,097 (Refer Working
Note). A gain or loss on modification is then determined as:
Gain (loss) = carrying value of existing liability - fair value of modified liability - fees and costs incurred i.e. `
10,00,000 – ` 9,58,097 – ` 1,00,000 = Loss of ` 58,097

The total of these amounts to ` 10,43,474 (Refer Working Note). This differs from the
discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability by 4.35%
i.e. by less than 10%. Hence, modification accounting applies. On this
basis:
i. the fees paid of ` 50,000 are netted against the existing liability of ` 10,00,000, resulting in
an adjusted carrying amount of ` 9,50,000;
ii. the effective interest rate (EIR) is recalculated. This is the rate which discounts the future cash flows (`
16,00,000 in five years’ time) to the adjusted carrying amount of ` 9,50,000. The adjusted EIR is
10.99%
iii. the adjusted EIR is used to determine the amortised cost and interest expense in future periods.

Question (RTP Nov 22 - Q.18)
On 1st April, 2011 an entity granted an interest-free loan of ₹ 5,00,000 to an employeefor a period
of three years. The market rate of interest for similar loans is 5% per year.
On 31st March, 2013, because of financial difficulties, the employee asked to extend the interest-free loan
for further three years. The entity agreed. Under the restructured terms, repayment will take place
on 31st March, 2017. However, the entity only expects to receive a payment of ₹ 2,50,000, given the
financial difficulty of the employee.
Explain the accounting treatment on initial recognition of loan and after giving effect of the changes
in the terms of the loan as per Ind AS 109. Support your answer with Journal entries and amortised cost
calculation, as on the date of initial recognition and on thedate of change in terms of loan.
Solution
As the loan is not at a market interest rate, hence it is not recorded at the transaction priceof ₹ 5,00,000.
Instead, the entity measures the loan receivable at the present value of the future cash inflows discounted
at a market rate of interest available for a similar loan.
The present value of the loan receivable (financial asset) discounted at 5% per year is
₹ 5,00,000 ÷ (1.05)3 = ₹ 4,32,000. Therefore, ₹ 4,32,000 is recorded on initial measurement of the
loan receivable. This amount will accrete to ₹ 5,00,000 over the three-year term using the effective
interest method.
The difference between ₹ 5,00,000 and ₹ 4,32,000 i.e., ₹ 68,000 is accounted for as prepaid employee
cost in accordance with Ind AS 19 ‘Employee Benefits’, which will be deferred and amortised over
the period of loan on straight line basis.
The journal entries on initial recognition are:
Particulars ₹ ₹
Loan receivable (financial asset) Dr. 4,32,000
Prepaid employee cost (asset) Dr. 68,000
To Cash / Bank (financial asset) 5,00,000
(Being loan granted to the employee recognised)
74
An impairment loss of ₹ 2,70,530 (₹ 4,76,280 – ₹ 2,05,750) is recognised in profit or loss in the year
2012-2013.
The carrying amount of the loan receivable may be reduced directly, as follows:
Particulars ₹ ₹
Profit or loss - impairment loss Dr. 2,70,530
To Loan receivable 2,70,530
(Being impairment loss recognised)
In this case, the loan receivable will be measured at ₹ 2,05,750 at 31st March, 2013. The revised
amortised cost calculation at 1st April, 2013 is as follows:
Period Carrying Interest at 5% (the Cash Carrying
amount at original effective inflow amount at
1st April interest rate) 31st March
2013-2014 2,05,750 10,288 – 2,16,038
2014-2015 2,16,038 10,802 – 2,26,840
2015-2016 2,26,840 11,342 – 2,38,182
2016-2017 2,38,182 11,818 (2,50,000) –
Solution
Since payment of ₹ 15,000 is deferred for two years, the fair value of the consideration given for the
shares is equal to ₹ 25,000 plus the present value of ₹ 15,000. The present value of ₹ 15,000
deferred payment is ₹ 13,350 (₹ 15,000 ÷ 1.062).
Entity X will initially measure the shares purchased at ₹ 38,350 (i.e., ₹ 25,000 +
₹ 13,350).
Since this transaction took place at an arm’s length, this is considered to be fair value
for initial recognition in the absence of evidence to the contrary.
The difference between the ₹ 40,000 cash paid out and the ₹ 38,350, i.e. ₹ 1,650, will be
recognised as interest expense in profit or loss over the two year period of deferred payment.

Question 1 (RTP May 22 - Q.9)
Entity A acquires entity B. Entity A agrees with the former shareholders of entity B to pay
₹ 900, with an additional payment of ₹ 500 if the subsequent earnings of entity B reach a
specified target in three years. The former shareholders also become employees. On the
acquisition date, the fair value of the net assets of entity B amount to ₹ 850, and the fair value
of additional payment is estimated at ₹ 200. At the acquisition date, the outflow of additional
payment is not probable.
Over the next three years, the cumulative earnings of entity B (before considering the effects
of the additional payments) amount to ₹ 1,050. At the end of year three, entity A pays ₹ 500
as the conditions were met.
State the impact on the financial position and results of classifying the payments as
remuneration and contingent consideration.

Question 3 (RTP May 23 - Q.18)
An entity acquired two trade secrets (secret recipes) in a business combination. Recipe A is patented.
Recipe B is not legally protected.
How the acquisition of Recipe A and Recipe B would be accounted for by the entity as per relevant Ind AS.
Solution
Ind AS 38 states that the definition of an intangible asset requires an intangible asset to be identifiable to
distinguish it from goodwill. Goodwill recognised in a business combination is an asset representing the
future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually
identified and separately recognised. The future economic benefits may result from synergy between the
identifiable assets acquired or from assets that, individually, do not qualify for recognition in the financial
statements.

Question 1 (RTP May 22)
1. Identify the type of joint arrangements in each of the following scenarios:
(i) X Ltd and Y Ltd, manufacturing similar type of mobile phones, form a joint arrangement
to manufacture and sell mobile phones. Under the terms of the arrangement, both X Ltd and
Y Ltd are to use their own assets to manufacture the mobile phones and both are responsible
for liabilities related to their respective manufacture. The arrangement also lays down the
distribution revenues from the sale of the mobile phones and expenses incurred thereof. X
Ltd however has exclusive control over the marketing and distribution functions and does not
require the consent of Y Ltd in this aspect. No separate entity is created for the
arrangement.
(ii) Continuing with (i) above, what would be the classification of the joint arrangement if X
Ltd and Y Ltd both jointly control all the relevant activities of the Joint arrangement
including the marketing and the distribution functions?
(iii) What would be the classification of the joint arrangement if under the terms of the
arrangement, a separate entity is created to manufacture the mobile phones.
(iv) Continuing with (iii) above, the joint arrangement is a means of manufacturing mobile
phones on a common platform but the output of the joint arrangement is purchased by both
X Ltd and Y Ltd in the ratio of 50:50. The joint arrangement cannot sell output to third
parties. The price of the output sold to X Ltd and Y Ltdis set by both the parties to the
arrangement to cover the production costs and other administrative costs of the joint
arrangement entity.
(v) Would your answer in (iv) above be different if X Ltd and Y Ltd sold their respective share of
output to third parties?
(vi) Assume that in (iv) above, the contractual terms of the arrangement were modifiedso that
the joint arrangement entity is not obliged to sell the output to X Ltd and Y Ltd but was
able to sell the output to third parties.
Solution
For a joint arrangement to be either a joint operation or joint venture, it depends on whether the parties
to the joint arrangement have rights to the assets and obligations for liabilities (will be a joint operation)
OR whether the parties to the joint arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement (will
be joint venture).
(i) In order to fit into the definition of a joint arrangement, the parties to the joint arrangement
should have joint control over the arrangement. In the given case, decisions relating to
relevant activities, ie, marketing and distribution, are solelycontrolled by X Ltd and such
decisions do not require the consent of Y Ltd. Hence, the joint control test is not satisfied in
this arrangement and the arrangement does not fit into the definition of a joint arrangement
in accordance with the Standard.
(ii) Where X Ltd and Y Ltd both jointly control all the relevant activities of the arrangement
and since no separate entity is formed for the arrangement, the joint arrangement is in the
nature of a joint operation.
(iii) Where under a joint arrangement, a separate vehicle is formed to give effect to the joint
arrangement, then the joint arrangement can either be a joint operation or a joint venture.
Hence in the given case, if:
83
(a) The contractual terms of the joint arrangement, give both X Ltd and Y Ltd rights to the
assets and obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement, andthe rights to the
corresponding revenues and obligations for the corresponding expenses, then the joint
arrangement will be in the nature of a joint operation.
(b) The contractual terms of the joint arrangement, give both X Ltd and Y Ltd. rights to
the net assets of the arrangement, then the joint arrangement will bein the nature of
a joint venture.
(iv) Where the rights to assets and liabilities to obligations are not clear from the contractual
arrangement, then other facts and circumstances also need to be considered to determine
whether the joint arrangement is a joint operation or a joint venture.
When the provision of the activities of the joint venture is primarily to produce output and
the output is available / distributed only to the parties to the joint arrangement in some
pre-determined ratio, then this indicates that the parties have substantially all the economic
benefits of the assets of the arrangement. The only source of cash flows to the joint
arrangement is receipts from parties through their purchases of the output and the parties
also have a liability to fund the settlement of liabilities of the separate entity. Such an
arrangement indicates that the joint arrangement is in the nature of a joint operation.
In the given case, the output of the joint arrangement is exclusively used by X Ltd. and Y
Ltd. and the joint arrangement is not allowed to sell the output to outside parties. Hence, the
joint arrangement between X Ltd. and Y Ltd. is in the nature of a joint operation.
(v) It makes no difference whether the output of the joint arrangement is exclusively for use by
the parties to the joint arrangement or the parties to the arrangement sold their share of the
output to third parties.
Hence, even if X Ltd. and Y Ltd. sold their respective share of output to third parties, the fact
still remains that the joint arrangement cannot sell output directly to third parties. Hence,
the joint arrangement will still be deemed to be in the nature of a joint operation.
(vi) Where the terms of the contractual arrangement enable the separate entity to sell the output
to third parties, this would result in the separate entity assuming demand, inventory and credit
risks. Such facts and circumstances would indicate that the arrangement is a joint venture.

Chapter 15 Analysis of Financial Statements (New Course)
Case Study 1
On 1 April 2011, Star Limited has advanced a housing loan of 15 lakhs to one of its employeesat an
interest rate of 6% per annum which is repayable in 5 equal annual installments along with interest at
each year end. Employee is not required to give any specific performance against this benefit. The market
rate of similar loan for housing finance by banks is 10% per annum.
The accountant of the company has recognized the staff loan in the balance sheet equivalent to the
amount of housing loan disbursed i.e. 15 lakhs. The interest income for the year is recognized at the
contracted rate in the Statement of Profit and Loss by the company i.e. 90,000 (6% of 15 lakhs).
Analyze whether the above accounting treatment made by the accountant is in compliance with the relevant
Ind AS. If not, advise the correct treatment of housing loan, interest and other expenses in the financial
statements of Star Limited for the year 2011-2012 along with workings and applicable Ind AS.
You are required to explain how the housing loan should be reflected in the Ind AS compliant Balance Sheet of
Star Limited on 31 March 2012.
Solution
The accounting treatment made by the accountant is not in compliance with Ind AS 109 ‘Financial Instruments’.
As per Ind AS 109, at initial recognition, an entity shall measure a financial asset or financial liability at its fair
value. The fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is normally the transaction price i.e. the fair
value of the consideration given or received.
After initial recognition, an entity shall measure a financial asset either at amortised cost or at fair value
through profit and loss or fair value through other comprehensive income.
Here, the loan given to employee is not at market rate. Hence, the fair value of the loan will not be equal to its
initial loan proceeds. As per Ind AS 109, a financial instrument is initially measured and recorded in the books
at its fair value. Further, interest income to be recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss will be the finance
income recognised at effective rate of interest i.e. @ 10% and not the rate of interest charged by the company
i.e. @ 6%.
The correct accounting treatment as per Ind AS 109 will be as under:
For measuring the fair value or present value of the loan at initial recognition, market rate of interest of similar
loan is considered (level 1 observable input) ie @ 10%, to discount the cash outflows.
The fair value of the loan shall be as follows:
91
31 March 2015 6,00,000 3,00,000 36,000 3,36,000 0.683 2,29,488
31 March 2016 3,00,000 3,00,000 18,000 3,18,000 0.621 1,97,478
Fair value of the loan 13,54,602
As per Ind AS 19, employee benefits are all forms of consideration given by an entity in exchange for service
rendered by employees or for termination of employment. Difference of loan proceeds and present value of the
loan (fair value) will be treated as prepaid employee cost irrespective of the fact that employee is not required
to give any specific performance against this benefit. This is because employee is required to be in service of
the company to continue availing the benefits of concessional rate of interest on housing loan. Practically, once
the employee leaves the organisation, they have to repay the outstanding loan because the company provides
the loan at concessional rate of interest only to its employees.
Hence, it is an employee benefit given by the company to its employees. This deemed employee cost of ₹
1,45,398 (15,00,000 – 13,54,602) will be deferred and amortised over the period of loan on straight line basis.
Calculation of amortised cost of loan to employees
* 2,88,663 x 10% = 28,866. Difference of 471 (29,337 – 28,866) is due to approximation in computation.

Case Study 2
Pluto Ltd. has purchased a manufacturing plant for 6 lakhs on 1st April, 2011. The useful life of the plant is 10
years. On 30th September, 2013, Pluto temporarily stops using the manufacturing plant because demand has
declined. However, the plant is maintained in a workable condition and it will be used in future when demand
picks up.
The accountant of Pluto ltd. decided to treat the plant as held for sale until the demands picks up and
accordingly measures the plant at lower of carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell.
Also, the accountant has also stopped charging the depreciation for the rest of period considering the plant as
held for sale. The fair value less cost to sell on 30th September, 2013 and 31st March, 2014 was 4 lakhs and
3.5 lakhs respectively.
The accountant has performed the following working:
Analyse whether the above accounting treatment made by the accountant is in compliance with the Ind AS. If
not, advise the correct treatment alongwith the necessary workings.
Solution:
The above treatment needs to be examined in the light of the provisions given in Ind AS 16 ‘Property, Plant and
Equipment’ and Ind AS 105 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’.
Para 6 of Ind AS 105 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ states that:
“An entity shall classify a non-current asset (or disposal group) as held for sale if its carrying amount will be
recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use”.
Paragraph 7 of Ind AS 105 states that:
“For this to be the case, the asset (or disposal group) must be available for immediate sale in its present
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and
94
its sale must be highly probable. Thus, an asset (or disposal group) cannot be classified as a non-current asset
(or disposal group) held for sale, if the entity intends to sell it in a distant future”.
Further, paragraph 8 of Ind AS 105 states that:
“For the sale to be highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell
the asset (or disposal group), and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been
initiated. Further, the asset (or disposal group) must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable
in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a
completed sale within one year from the date of classification and actions required to complete the plan should
indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.”
Paragraph 13 of Ind AS 105 states that:
“An entity shall not classify as held for sale a non-current asset (or disposal group) that is to be abandoned.
This is because its carrying amount will be recovered principally through continuing use.”
Paragraph 14 of Ind AS 105 states that:
“An entity shall not account for a non-current asset that has been temporarily taken out of use as if it had been
abandoned.”
Paragraph 55 of Ind AS 16 states that:
“Depreciation does not cease when the asset becomes idle or is retired from active use unless the asset is fully
depreciated.”
Going by the guidance given above,
The Accountant of Pluto Ltd. has treated the plant as held for sale and measured it at the fair value less cost to
sell. Also, the depreciation has not been charged thereon since the date of classification as held for sale which
is not correct and not in accordance with Ind AS 105 and Ind AS 16.
Accordingly, the manufacturing plant should neither be treated as abandoned asset nor as held for sale because
its carrying amount will be principally recovered through continuous use. Pluto Ltd. shall not stop charging
depreciation or treat the plant as held for sale because its carrying amount will be recovered principally
through continuing use to the end of their economic life.
The working of the same for presenting in the balance sheet is given as below:

Working Note:
Fair value less cost to sell of the Plant = ₹ 3,50,000
Value in Use (not given) or = Nil (since plant has temporarily not been used for
manufacturing due to decline in demand)
Recoverable amount = higher of above i.e. ₹ 3,50,000
Case Study 4
On 1st April, 2011, Sun Ltd. has acquired 100% shares of Earth Ltd. for 30 lakhs. Sun Ltd. has 3 cash-generating
units A, B and C with fair value of 12 lakhs, 8 lakhs and 4 lakhs respectively. The company recognizes goodwill
of Rs 6 lakhs that relates to CGU ‘C’ only.
During the financial year 2012-2013, the CFO of the company has a view that there is no requirement of any
impairment testing for any CGU since their recoverable amount is comparatively higher than the carrying
amount and believes there is no indicator of impairment.
Analyse whether the view adopted by the CFO of Sun Ltd is in compliance of the Ind AS. If not, advise the correct
treatment in accordance with relevant Ind AS
Solution
The above treatment needs to be examined in the light of the provisions given in Ind AS 36: Impairment of
Assets.
Para 9 of Ind AS 36
‘Impairment of Assets’ states that “An entity shall assess at the end of each reporting period whether there is
any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate the
recoverable amount of the asset.”
Further, paragraph 10(b) of Ind AS 36 states that:
“Irrespective of whether there is any indication of impairment, an entity shall also test goodwill acquired in a
business combination for impairment annually.”
Sun Ltd has not tested any CGU on account of not having any indication of impairment is partially correct i.e. in
respect of CGU A and B but not for CGU C. Hence, the treatment made by the Company is not in accordance with
Ind AS 36.
Accordingly, impairment testing in respect of CGU A and B are not required since there are no indications of
impairment. However, Sun Ltd shall test CGU C irrespective of any indication of impairment annually as the
goodwill acquired on business combination is fully allocated to CGU ‘C’.

Question 2
On 1st January, 2012, Sun Ltd. was notified that a customer was taking legal action against the company in
respect of a financial losses incurred by the customer. Customer alleged that the financial losses were caused
due to supply of faulty products on 30th September, 2011 by the Company. Sun Ltd. defended the case but
considered, based on the progress of the case up to 31st March, 2012, that there was a 75% probability they
would have to pay damages of ₹ 10 lakhs to the customer.
However, the accountant of Sun Ltd. has not recorded this transaction in its financial statement as the case is
not yet finally settled. The case was ultimately settled against the company resulting in to payment of damages
of ₹12 lakhs to the customer on 15th May, 2012. The financials have been authorized by the Board of Directors
in its meeting held on 18th May, 2012.
Analyse whether the above accounting treatment made by the accountant is in compliance of the Ind AS. If not,
advise the correct treatment along with working for the same.
Solution
The above treatment needs to be examined in the light of the provisions given in Ind AS 37 ‘Provisions,
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ and Ind AS 10 ‘Events After the Reporting Period’.
Para 10 of Ind AS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ defines:
“Provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount.
Liability is a present obligation of the entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to
result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits”.
Further, paragraph 14 of Ind AS 37, states:
“A provision shall be recognised when:
(a) an entity has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event;
(b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle
the obligation; and
(c) a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation”.
Further, paragraph 36 of Ind AS 37, states:
“The amount recognised as a provision shall be the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the
present obligation at the end of the reporting period”.
Further, paragraph 3 of Ind AS 10 ‘Events after the Reporting Period’ defines:
“Events after the reporting period are those events, favourable and unfavourable, that occur between the end
of the reporting period and the date when the financial statements are approved by the Board of Directors in
case of a company, and, by the corresponding approving authority in case of any other entity for issue. Two
types of events can be identified:
(a) those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting
period (adjusting events after the reporting period); and
(b) those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period (non-
97
adjusting events after the reporting period).
Further, paragraph 8 of Ind AS 10 states that:
“An entity shall adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements to reflect adjusting events after the
reporting period.”
The Accountant of Sun Ltd. has not recognised the provision and accordingly not adjusted the amounts
recognised in its financial statements to reflect adjusting events after the reporting period is not correct and
nor in accordance with provision of Ind AS 37 and Ind AS 10.
As per given facts, the potential payment of damages to the customer is an obligation arising out of a past event
which can be reliably estimated. Therefore, following the provision of Ind AS 37 ‘Provisions, Contingent
Liabilities and Contingent Assets’ – a provision is required. The provision should be for the best estimate of the
expenditure required to settle the obligation at 31st March, 2012 which comes to 7.5 lakhs ( 10 lakhs x 75%).
Further, following the principles of Ind AS 10 ‘Events After the Reporting Period’ evidence of the settlement
amount is an adjusting event. Therefore, the amount of provision created shall be increased to 12 lakhs and
accordingly be recognised as a current liability.
Question 3
Mercury Ltd. is an entity engaged in plantation and farming on a large scale diversified across India. On 1st
April, 2011, the company has received a government grant for 10 lakhs subject to a condition that it will
continue to engage in plantation of eucalyptus tree for a coming period of five years. Eucalyptus trees are not
considered as bearer plant in this case.
The management has a reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with condition of engaging in the
plantation of eucalyptus tree for specified period of five years and accordingly it recognises proportionate grant
for ₹ 2 lakhs in Statement of Profit and Loss as income following the principles laid down under Ind AS 20
Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
Analyse whether the above accounting treatment made by the management is in compliance of the Ind AS. If
not, advise the correct treatment alongwith working for the same.
Solution
As per given facts, the company is engaged in plantation and farming. Hence Ind AS 41 Agriculture shall be
applicable to this company.
The above facts need to be examined in the light of the provisions given in Ind AS 20 ‘Accounting for
Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance’ and Ind AS 41 ‘Agriculture’.
Para 2(d) of Ind AS 20 ‘Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance’ states:
“This Standard does not deal with government grants covered by Ind AS 41, Agriculture”.
Further, paragraph 1 (c) of Ind AS 41 ‘Agriculture’, states:
“This Standard shall be applied to account for the government grants covered by paragraphs 34 and 35 when
they relate to agricultural activity”.
Further, paragraph 1 (c) of Ind AS 41 ‘Agriculture’, states:
98
“If a government grant related to a biological asset measured at its fair value less costs to sell is conditional,
including when a government grant requires an entity not to engage in specified agricultural activity, an entity
shall recognise the government grant in profit or loss when, and only when, the conditions attaching to the
government grant are met”.
Understanding of the given facts, The Company has recognised the proportionate grant for 2 lakhs in Statement
of Profit and Loss before the conditions attaching to government grant are met which is not correct and nor in
accordance with provision of Ind AS 41 ‘Agriculture’.
Accordingly, the accounting treatment of government grant received by the Mercury Ltd. is governed by the
provision of Ind AS 41 ‘Agriculture’ rather Ind AS 20 ‘Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of
Government Assistance’.
Government grant for 10 lakhs shall be recognised in profit or loss when, and only when, the conditions
attaching to the government grant are met i.e. after the expiry of specified period of five years of continuing
engagement in the plantation of eucalyptus tree.

Question 4
Mercury Ltd. has sold goods to Mars Ltd. at a consideration of ₹ 10 lakhs, the receipt of which receivable in
three equal installments of ₹ 3,33,333 over a two year period (receipts on 1st April, 2011, 31st March, 2012
and 31st March, 2013).
The company is offering a discount of 5 % (i.e. ₹ 50,000) if payment is made in full at the time of sale. The sale
agreement reflects an implicit interest rate of 5.36% p.a.
The total consideration to be received from such sale is at ₹ 10 Lakhs and hence, the management has
recognised the revenue from sale of goods for ₹ 10 lakhs.
Analyse whether the above accounting treatment made by the accountant is in compliance of the Ind AS. If not,
advise the correct treatment along with working for the same.
Solution
The revenue from sale of goods shall be recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
The fair value of the consideration is determined by discounting all future receipts using an imputed rate of
interest where the receipt is deferred beyond normal credit terms. The difference between the fair value and
the nominal amount of the consideration is recognised as interest revenue.
The fair value of consideration (cash price equivalent) of the sale of goods is calculated as follows:
99
Year Consideration Present value Present value of
(Installment) factor consideration
Time of sale 3,33,333 - 3,33,333
End of 1st year 3,33,333 0.949 3,16,333
End of 2nd year 3,33,334 0.901 3,00,334
10,00,000 9,50,000
The Company that agrees for deferring the cash inflow from sale of goods will recognise the revenue from sale
of goods and finance income as follows:
