Suggested Answers
Financial Accounting - I (MB131): April 2006
1. Answer : (d)
Reason : If there is a conflict between the International Accounting Standards and the local standards or the
local laws and regulations, the local standards, laws and regulations will prevail.
<
TOP
>
2. Answer : (c)
Reason : Options (a), (b), (d) and (e) are a part of the accounting principles and concepts which need to be
adhered to in the preparation of Financial statements. Hence the adherence to these concepts does not
result in window dressing the financial statements. However, provision for expenses and potential
losses is to be made as per accounting concept of ‘conservatism’. Not providing such provision leads
to window dressing since the profits get inflated.
<
TOP
>
3. Answer : (d)
Reason : Journal proper is used to record all transactions which cannot be included in the Cash book or any
other subsidiary books. Eg. Purchase or sale of fixed assets and investments on credit, adjusting
entries and rectification entries.
<
TOP
>
4. Answer : (d)
Reason : The value of investments, debtors, Fixed assets and cash at bank are not dependent on the earning
capacity of the firm. Goodwill an intangible asset, depends on the earning capacity of the firm. The
higher the profits or earnings expected the higher the value of goodwill.
<
TOP
>
5. Answer : (c)
Reason : Rights shares are the shares that are offered to the existing equity shareholders (c). These are not
issued by a newly formed company (a) They are not the shares issued to the public at large. They are
issued only to the existing shareholders. (b). It does not indicate the right of redemption of shares issue
(d). These are not the shares with cumulative dividend right.
<
TOP
>
6. Answer : (c)
Reason : The maximum amount beyond which a company is not allowed to raise funds by issue of shares is
called nominal capital or authorized capital. The issued capital is that part of the nominal capital
issued to the public and subscribed capital is that part of the issued capital which is subscribed by the
public. Paid up capital is the amount which is paid-up by the shareholders. Reserve capital is that
capital which will be called-up only in case of liquidation.
<
TOP
>
7. Answer : (c)
Reason : Annuity Method of super profits © of valuation of goodwill uses the present value factor since there is
heavy loss of interest. Capitalisation of average profits method (a) is not the correct answer since there
is not such method through which goodwill can be assigned a value. Capitalisation of super profits
method (b) tries to find out the amount of capital needed for earning the super profit and it does not
consider the present value factor and hence is not the correct answer. No. of years’ purchase of
average profits method (d) is also known as simple profit method where in the goodwill is calculated
with the help of the average annual profit expected to accrue in future based on past profits and the
number of years of purchase as agreed by the parties and is not the correct answer. Number of years of
purchase of super profits method (e) where in super profits are computed taking into account the
average profits and the normal rate of return in the similar type of industry based on the capital
employed in the business the difference between the average profit and the normal return is the super
profit an is multiplied with the number of years’ purchase as agreed by the parties. And it is not the
correct answer. Thus, alternative (c) is the correct answer.

8. Answer : (b)
Reason : Amortization is the method of converting cost of intangible assets to expense. Intangible assets like
patents, trademarks, franchises are amortized over a period of time.
The other alternatives
(a) Depreciation is the process of allocating to expense the cost of fixed assets over its useful life in
a rational and systematic manner.
(c) Depletion is the process of allocating the cost of natural resources like coal petroleum etc. to
expense in a rational and systematic manner.
(d) Deterioration is the physical process of wearing out.
Thus, the alternatives (a), (c), (d) and (e) are not relevant to intangible assets.
<
TOP
>
9. Answer : (a)
Reason : Amortization of intangible assets signifies, the systematic writing down of the value of the intangible
assets over its life. The method adopted is straight line method. The other alternatives written down
value method, sum of the years’ digits method and Annuity method are used for depreciating the value
of tangible fixed assets.
<
TOP
>
10. Answer : (b)
Reason : When depreciation appears in the Trial balance, it is taken in the Profit and loss account only. If
depreciation does not appear in the Trial balance but appears as an adjustment it appears in the Profit
and loss account and is also reduced from Fixed assets to give double effect to the transaction.
<
TOP
>
11. Answer : (e)
Reason : The advocates of this method feel that the ‘smoothing’ of purchase costs achieved by the weighted
average method enable them to even out the erratic movements in the purchase prices to the best
possible extent.
<
TOP
>
12. Answer : (d)
Reason : AS -1 discusses this issue where it lists out going concern concept, consistency concept, and accrual
concept as fundamental accounting assumptions. Conservatism is a concept under GAAP but its use
cannot be assumed.

TOP

13. Answer : (e)
Reason : Discount allowed on re-issue of forfeited shares is debited to forfeited shares account. It cannot be
debited to general reserve account, capital reserve account, revaluation reserve account and capital
redemption reserve account.
<
TOP
>
14. Answer : (b)
Reason : Securities Premium on fresh issue of shares (b) cannot be utilized for the redemption of Preference
Shares of a company. As per the Companies Act, the redemption may be done from the proceeds of
fresh issue of shares or undistributed profits which would otherwise be available for dividend. Thus,
proceeds of fresh issue of shares (a), General reserve (c), Profit and loss account credit balance and
Dividend equalization reserve are not the correct answers since they can be utilized for redemption of
preference shares.
<
TOP
>
15. Answer : (e)
Reason : Under intrinsic value method the value per share is arrived by valuing the assets of a company and
deducting there from all the liabilities and claims of preference shareholders and dividing the net
assets by the number of shares. The value of net assets is nothing but the net equity.
<
TOP
>
16. Answer : (e)
Reason : The cum-interest/cum-dividend quoting price of securities implies that interest accrued or dividend
accrued is added to the value of the securities. Thus, it is more than the ex-interest price. The
purchaser pays a higher price than the normal price, the seller charges a higher price and the right of
receiving dividend/interest is passed on to the buyer. Thus, alternatives (a), (c) and (d) are correct. The
alternative (b) the right to receive the interest/dividend is retained by the seller is false.
<
TOP
>
17. Answer : (e)
Reason : Cumulative Preference shareholders enjoy preferential treatment with regard to priority in payment of
dividend, (a) repayment of capital (b) and also in case of insufficient profits their dividends
(undeclared) are cumulated (d) unlike equity shareholders. Equity shareholders enjoy voting rights (c)
but not the preference shareholders. Thus, the alternatives (a), (b), and (d) are true in case of
cumulative preference shareholders.

<
TOP

20. Answer : (a)
Reason : The accounting entry involved for issue of shares to promoters for the services rendered by them is
debit goodwill account and credit share capital account (a). Since in recognition of the vale of services
rendered by the promoters certain number of shares are allotted to them for which no consideration is
coming forth and is debited to goodwill and credited to share capital account. Since no cash is coming
forth and no obligation form the promoters to pay in future the entries in alternatives (b) and (c) are
incorrect. It is issue of shares in lieu of the services rendered and hence share capital account is not
debited and no payment of cash is involved and cash account cannot be credited and alternative (d) is
incorrect. Since no payment from the directors is expected the question of calls in arrears does not
arise and the alternative (e) is incorrect.

21. Answer : (c)
Reason : Premium on redemption of debentures account represents the additional amount payable to debenture
holders at the time of redemption of debentures and is a personal account.
<
TOP
>
22. Answer : (d)
Reason : According to the conservatism concept, ‘anticipate no profit and provide for all possible losses’.
Thus, in recognition of conservatism concept, provision for bad and doubtful debts is created in
anticipation of actual bad debts. The statements in other alternatives are incorrect because Going
concern concept assumes that business will be carried on for a indefinite period and not for definite
period (a). The capital losses are to be deducted to ascertain net income (c). Materiality concept states
that insignificant events need not be recorded and the statement in alternative (e) is incorrect. Thus,
the correct answer is (d).
<
TOP
>
23. Answer : (d)
Reason : Stock at the end of the financial year is the closing stock, drawings are the amounts withdrawn by the
owner of the business for personal use; and prepaid rent is the amount of rent which is paid in advance
of the current financial year and interest received but not yet earned is the amount of interest received
which does not pertain to the current year are the items that appear in the balance sheet of a business.
Stock at the beginning of the financial year is the opening stock that appears in Trading Account of a
business and not in the balance sheet. Thus,(d), the combination of all the accounts in alternatives (I),
(III), (IV) and (V) is the correct answer.
<
TOP
>
24. Answer : (e)
Reason : According to Section.76 of the Companies Act, a company is authorized to pay underwriting
commission only if the shares or debentures are offered to the general public. No underwriting
commission can be paid, if the issue is privately placed. The shares taken by Promoters, Directors,
employees and directors’ friends cannot be considered as shares offered to the general public. As such
no underwriting commission is payable on these shares.

25. Answer : (a)
Reason : The portion of the acquisition cost of the asset yet to be allocated is known as written down value (a)
Accumulated value (b) is the value of a thing accumulated over a period of time and not the correct
answer. Realizable value (c) is the value which can be realized in the event of sale and is not correct
answer. Salvage value (d) is the value of an asset that remains as scrap value after its usage over a
period of time and is not the correct answer. Residual value (e) is the value remaining residue and is
not the correct answer. Alternative (a) is the correct answer.
<
TOP
>
26. Answer : (b)
Reason : The Accounting Standard-2 deals with regard to accounting for inventory. According to the
statement, Work in progress of a manufacturing industry is covered. Thus, the alternative (b) is the
correct answer. The items of inventory stated in other alternatives are not covered under AS-2
Financial instruments held as stock-in-trade: Work in progress arising under construction contracts
and Work in progress of service providers. Hence, alternatives (a) reflecting statement (I); (c)
combination of statements (I) and (II); alternative (d) combination of statements (III) and (IV) and
alternative (e) combination Of statements II, III and IV are incorrect.

27. Answer : (d)
Reason : Reserves created out of revaluation of fixed assets should not be capitalized and hence should not be
used for bonus issue. Bonus issue can be made out of share premium account. Bonus issue shall not be
made within 12 months of any public issue and it shall not be made in lieu of dividend. Bonus shares
should not be issued unless partly paid shares are made fully paid.

28. Answer : (e)
Reason : The adjustment entry involved in reversing ‘Capital Suspense’ account which is created, while placing
the amounts received on reissue of forfeited shares at a discount is (a) Debit to Capital Suspense
account (b) Credit to Share Capital account (c)Debit to Share forfeiture account and thus, the
combination of alternatives (a), (b) and (c) the alternative (e) is the correct answer.
<
TOP
>
29. Answer : (b)
Reason : Inventories (b) are to be valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. All the other assets stated
in other alternatives are valued as per the cost concept. Goodwill (a) is a fixed intangible asset and is
shown at the cost of its acquisition. Investments (c) are valued at cost or market value which is ever
less. Sundry debtors (d) are shown at deducting any amount of bad debts and the provision created for
bad and doubtful debts. Fixed Assets are valued at Cost only. Thus, the correct answer is (b).
<
TOP
>
30. Answer : (b)
Reason : Bank charges increase debit balance as per bank pass book (b) is the correct answer. The debit
balance as per bank pass book indicates the overdraft balance and the bank charges being the
expenditure increase the debit balance. The alternative (a) is incorrect because, the Bank charges
decrease the debit balance shown as per bank column of the cash book and do not increase the debit
balance as debit balance as per cash book signifies the favourable balance. A cash sale of a nontrading
asset is recorded in the journal proper is incorrect (c) because all in transactions involving cash
receipts and payments are recorded in the cash book Cash discount allowed by the business will
appear on the debit side of the debtor’s account (d) is incorrect because, the cash discount allowed is a
reduction in the balance of a debtor’s account which appears on the credit side. Bank reconciliation
statement is prepared by a bank (e) is incorrect because bank reconciliation statement is prepared by
the business and not by the bank. Thus, (b) is the correct answer.

31. Answer : (d)
Reason : The closing stock(d) is the value of goods which remain unsold at the end of the period whose balance
appears once in trading account and once in balance sheet of the business. All other accounts sales (a),
purchases (b), inward returns (c) and outward returns (e) are closed once they are absorbed by the
trading account. Thus, (d) is the correct answer.

Reason : The following methods are the practical ways of realizing revenue applying the conservatism concept
and realization concept and the (a)Delivery method in case of sale of goods, (b)Percentage-ofcompletion
method in case of rendering of services,(c) Production method in case of agriculture

37. Answer : (e)
Reason : Shareholders are treated as creditors for the amount they have paid on shares subscribed by them
according to the business entity concept. According to cost concept, all transactions are recorded at
cost. The duality concept emphasizes that assets = owner’s equity + outside liability. A business entity

39. Answer : (d)
Reason : The trial balance is prepared to assess the arithmetical accuracy. Hence the answer is (d). The profit
and loss account is prepared to know the profit or loss of the concern. The balance sheet is prepared to
know the financial position as on a particular date. The cashbook indicates the cash receipts and
payments. The bank reconciliation statement is prepared to reconcile the bank balance as per cash
book and pass book.

40. Answer : (e)
Reason : Credit balance of bank column of cash book represents bank overdraft and is a liability. Hence the
answer is (e). Credit balance of bank pass book, Debit balance of bank column of cash book and Debit
balance of cash column of cash book represents favorable balance. The debit balance of discount
column of cash book represents an expense.

Less: Opening provision Rs.18,000
Amount to be debited to profit & loss account Rs.13,500
<
TOP
>
42. Answer : (a)
Reason : The application money should not be less than 5% of the nominal value of the shares. Hence, the
minimum amount of application money is Rs.5 per share. The percentage of share premium has no
relevance as regard the minimum amount of application money to be collected. There are no
restrictions on the percentage of premium that a company can issue its shares. Thus, the alternative
(a) is the correct answer
<
TOP
>
43. Answer : (a)
Reason : Rs.Nil The difference in one transaction got compensated by another transaction. The error of
principle does not result in any difference and also the error of omission does not affect the agreement
of trial balance. The undercasting of returns inward book is rectified by debiting returns inward
account with Rs.1,377 and the wrong debit to the supplier’s account is to be rectified by crediting the
account with Rs.1,252+Rs.125=Rs.1,377. Thus, the wrong casting in one transaction is compensated
by wrong posting of wrong amount to the wrong side. It has no effect on the agreement of trial
balance. Payment of wages to the debit of wrong account is an error of principle and it does not affect
the trial balance. The complete omission of sales returns will not affect the trial balance totals. Thus,
the difference in trial balance is Rs.nil despite the errors.

44. Answer : (b)
Reason : Cost of goods sold during the year 2005-2006 = Rs.54,00,000 × 0.75 = Rs.40,50,000
Closing inventory = Opening inventory + Purchases during the year 2005-06 – Cost of goods sold
= Rs.15,00,000 + Rs.55,00,000 – Rs.40,50,000
= Rs.29,50,000
Actual physical inventory as on March 31, 2006 = Rs.29,50,000
Therefore, missing inventory = Rs.29,50,000 – Rs.25,75,000 = Rs.3,75,000

64. Answer : (c)
Reason : According to the basic accounting equation, assets = liabilities + owners equity.
Hence owners equity = assets – liabilities.
Capital = Rs.7,65,000 + Rs.5,25,000 + Rs.2,70,000 + Rs.2,55,000 – (Rs.3,75,000 + Rs.1,05,000)
= Rs.18,15,000 – Rs.4,80,000 = Rs.13,35,000
Profit for the year 2005-2006 = Capital as on March 31, 2006 – Capital as on April 01, 2005
= Rs.13,35,000 – Rs.10,50,000 = Rs.2,85,000.

70. Answer : (b)
Reason : When FIFO method of inventory valuation is used, the closing inventory on June 30, 2005 comprises
of latest purchased units. Since the latest purchases were purchased @ Rs.25, the value of closing
inventory is Rs.25,000.
<
TOP
>
71. Answer : (d)
Reason : When the LIFO method of inventory valuation is used, the latest stock of inventory is issued first and
hence the closing inventory comprises of units which were purchased first or otherwise, those which
existed on the opening day. In the above case since 1000 units existed on the opening day, the closing
stock of 1000 units are opening stock units @ 22.80, hence the closing stock is Rs.22,800.

73. Answer : (d)
Reason : Costs that improve the revenue earning capability of an asset should be capatilised as part of the cost
of the asset (for example, Rs.40,000 paid for additional component for increasing the earning
capacity). However, costs that maintain the revenue earning capability (such as the maintenance
charges and the replacement parts) should be treated as revenue expenses and they are to be charged to
the Profit and Loss Account. The correct figure for depreciation calculation is therefore, as under:
Particulars Rs. Rs.
Cost less discount 4,90,000

>
75. Answer : (c)
Reason : Cost of goods sold = Purchases + Opening stock – Closing stock = Purchases – (Closing stock –
Opening stock)
= Rs.50,000 – (Rs.10,000)* = Rs.40,000
Since, the closing stock has been increased by Rs.10,000

76. Answer : (e)
Reason : Repayment of a bank loan and amount paid to creditor reduces the liabilities and assets by the same
amount. Amount received from debtors and purchase of second hand machine changes only the
composition of the assets and does not affect the ttal assets figure. Hence, (a), (b), (c) and (d) will not
change owners’ equity. But, sale of land has been made at a price above cost. It means that there is a
profit on sale of land. That profit is owned by the owners of the company. Therefore, profit or loss on
sale of asset will change the owner’s equity. Hence, (e) is correct.
