(vii) A Ltd. entered into a binding contract with C Ltd. to buy a machine for Rs. 1,00,000. The
machine is to be delivered on 15 th February, 2009. On 1 st January, 2009, A Ltd. changed
its process of production. The new process will not require the machine ordered and it
shall have to be scrapped after delivery. The expected scrap value of the machine is nil.
Explain how A Ltd. should recognise the entire transaction in the books of account for the
year ended 31st March, 2009.
(viii) Goods are transferred from Department P to Department Q at a price 50% above cost.
If closing stock of Department Q is Rs. 27,000, compute the amount of stock reserve.
(ix) X Ltd. received a revenue grant of Rs.10 crores during 2006-07 from Government for
welfare activities to be carried on by the company for its employees. The grant
prescribed the conditions for utilization.
However during the year 2008-09, it was found that the prescribed conditions were not
fulfilled and the grant should be refunded to the Government.
State how this matter will have to be dealt with in the financial statements of X Ltd. for
the year ended 2008-09.
(x) “Conversion of debt into equity is a non-cash transaction.” Comment. (10 × 2 = 20 Marks)
Answer
(i) As per the provisions, of AS 5 “Net Profit or Loss for the Period, Prior Period Items and
Changes in Accounting Policies”, prior period items are income or expenses, which arise
in the current period as a result of error or omissions in the preparation of financial
statements of one or more prior periods. Further, the nature and amount of prior period
items should be separately disclosed in the statement of profit and loss.
In the given situation, it is clearly a case of error in preparation of financial statements for
the financial year 2006-07. Hence claim received in the financial year 2007-08 is a prior
period item and should be separately disclosed in the statement of profit and loss for the
year ended 31st March, 2008.
(ii) Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by an enterprise in connection with
the borrowing of funds. Borrowing cost may include:
(a) Interest and commitment charges on bank borrowings and other short term and long
term borrowings.
(b) Amortisation of discounts or premiums relating to borrowings.
(c) Amortisation of ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of
borrowings.
(d) Finance charges in respect of assets required under finance leases or under other
similar arrangements; and
(e) Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings to the extent that
they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs.

(vii) A Ltd. entered into a binding contract with C Ltd. and therefore, it should recognise a
liability of Rs.1,00,000. The entire amount of purchase price of the machine should be
recognised in the year ended 31st March, 2009 as loss because future economic benefit
from the machine to the enterprise is improbable.
The accounting entry should be as follows:
Rs. Rs.
Profit and Loss A/c Dr. 1,00,000
To C Ltd. 1,00,000
(Being value of machinery fully depreciated
because of change in the process of production
i.e. obsolescence)
(viii) Calculation of Stock Reserve
Rs.
Closing stock of Department Q 27,000
Goods sent by Department P to Department Q at a price 50% above cost
Rs.27,000 50 9,000
Hence, profit of Department P included in the stock will be
150
Amount of stock reserve will be Rs.9,000
(ix) As per para 11 of AS 12 “Government Grants”, a grant that became refundable should be
treated as an extra-ordinary item as per Accounting Standard 5 “Net Profit or Loss for the
Period, Prior Period Items and Changes in Accounting Policies”. The amount refundable
in respect of a government grant related to revenue, is applied first against any
unamortised deferred credit remaining in respect of the grant. To the extent that the
amount refundable exceeds any such deferred credit, or where no deferred credit exists,
the amount is charged immediately to profit and loss statement. Therefore, refund of
grant of Rs. 10 crores should be shown in the profit and loss account of the company as
an extra-ordinary item during the financial year 2008-09.
(x) Sometimes debenture holders are offered an option to convert their debts into equity by
issuing equity share capital. In such transactions, debentures are redeemed by issuing
fresh share capital.
Journal Entry will be as follows:
Debentures A/c Dr.
To Equity share capital A/c
In the above entry, no cash account is opened. Therefore, one can conclude that the
conversion of debt to equity is a non-cash transaction.
