FINANCIAL REPORTING
QUESTIONS
Case Scenario I
X Ltd. prepares its financial statements based on Indian Accounting
Standards.
X Ltd. (lessee) enters into an agreement with Y Ltd. (lessor) to lease an entire
floor of a building for a period of 10 years with an option to extend the lease
for five years. At the commencement date, X Ltd. is not reasonably certain
to exercise the option to extend the lease. Lease payments are ` 50,000 per
year during the initial term and ` 55,000 per year during the optional period.
As per the terms of contract, lease payments are required to be paid at the
beginning of each year. To obtain the lease, X Ltd. incurred initial direct
costs of ` 20,000, out of which ` 15,000 relates to a payment to a former
tenant occupying that floor of the building and ` 5,000 relates to
commission paid to the real estate agent that arranged the lease. As an
incentive to X Ltd. for entering into the lease, Y Ltd. agrees to reimburse to
X Ltd. the real estate commission of ` 5,000. The interest rate implicit in the
lease is not readily determinable by X Ltd. X Ltd.'s incremental borrowing
rate is 10%. (Consider discounting factor upto 2 decimals)
X Ltd. has deferred tax assets, recognised in the balance sheet at
31st March, 20X2 in respect of unused tax losses that can be used to reduce
taxable income in future years. The income tax rate used to calculate the
deferred tax asset was 40%, which was the current rate of tax applicable at
the balance sheet date. A new government came to power on 1st April, 20X2
and passed legislation that, on 17th April, 20X2, the income tax rate was
reduced to 33% with immediate effect.

` 13,250 for cash of ` 150 and car Y which has a fair value of ` 13,100.

17. No impact for lower of cost and NRV provision is made at stage 1 and
stage 2 because the final equipment will be sold at a profit. The profit
margin on the estimated cost of completion should, therefore, be
considered when calculating the net realisable value of work in
progress if the entity has the ability to dispose of the finished product
at a price that exceeds the production cost. The net realisable value of
the semi-finished product at stage 1 is:

20. Para 24 of Ind AS 16 inter alia states that in case of all exchange of
item of property, plant and equipment, the cost of an item of property,
plant and equipment is measured at fair value unless (a) the exchange
transaction lacks commercial substance or (b) the fair value of neither
the asset received nor the asset given up is reliably measurable. The
acquired item is measured in this way even if an entity cannot
immediately derecognise the asset given up. If the acquired item is
not measured at fair value, its cost is measured at the carrying
amount of the asset given up.
Further, para 25 of Ind AS 16 states that an entity determines whether an
exchange transaction has commercial substance by considering the extent
to which its future cash flows are expected to change as a result of the
transaction. An exchange transaction has commercial substance if:
(a) the configuration (risk, timing and amount) of the cash flows
of the asset received differs from the configuration of the
cash flows of the asset transferred; or
(b) the entity-specific value of the portion of the entity’s operations
affected by the transaction changes as a result of the exchange; and
(c) the difference in (a) or (b) is significant relative to the fair value
of the assets exchanged.
Since in the given case, there is no commercial substance, the entity
recognizes the assets received at the book value of car X. Therefore, it
recognizes cash of ` 150 and car Y as property, plant and equipment
with a carrying value of ` 12,850.
