(i) Accounting conventions.
(ii) Trade bill vs. Accommodation bill.

SUGGESTED ANSWERS/HINTS
1. (i) False: Prior Period Items should be separately disclosed in the current statement of
profit and loss together with their nature and amount in a manner that their impact
on current profit or loss can be perceived
(ii) True: Salary paid in advance relates to the coming accounting period. It has nothing
to do with the current period. Hence it is not taken in the Profit and Loss Account as
an expense. It is shown as a Current Asset in the Balance Sheet.
(iii) False: If the effect of errors committed cancel out, the errors will be called
compensating errors and the trial balance will agree.
(iv) False: The sale value of the by-product is credited to Manufacturing Account so as
to reduce to that extent, the cost of manufacture of main product.
(v) False: In Consignment sale, ownership of the goods rests with the consignor till
they are sold by the consignee. The consignee does not become the owner of the
goods even though goods are in his possession. He acts only as agent of the
consignor.
(vi) True: No interest is allowed when the due date of a bill falls after the date of closing
the account. However, interest from the date of closing to such due date is written
in ‘Red Ink’ in the appropriate side of account current.
(vii) False: Net income is determined by preparing income and expenditure in case of
persons practicing vacation.
(viii) False: As per Section 2 (52) of the Companies Act, 2013,"listed company" means a
company which has any of its securities listed on any recognised stock exchange.
(ix) False: According to Partnership Act, in the absence of any agreement to the
contrary profits and losses are to be shared equally among partners..
2. (a) Limitations which must be kept in mind while evaluating the Financial Statements
are as follows:
The factors which may be relevant in assessing the worth of the enterprise
don’t find place in the accounts as they cannot be measured in terms of
money.
Balance Sheet shows the position of the business on the day of its preparation
and not on the future date while the users of the accounts are interested in
knowing the position of the business in the near future and also in long run and
not for the past date.
Accounting ignores changes in some money factors like inflation etc.
There are occasions when accounting principles conflict with each other.
Certain accounting estimates depend on the sheer personal judgement of the
accountant.
Different accounting policies for the treatment of same item adds to the
probability of manipulations.
(b) Going Concern concept: The financial statements are normally prepared on the
assumption that an enterprise is a going concern and will continue its operation for
the foreseeable future. Hence, it is assumed that the enterprise has neither the
intention nor the need to liquidate or curtail materially the scale of its operations; if
such an intention or need exists, it should be disclosed in the financial statements.
Cost concept: It means that the value of an asset is to be determined on the basis of
historical cost, in other words, acquisition cost. Although there are various
measurement bases, accountants traditionally prefer this concept in the interests of
objectivity.

Working Notes:
1. Consignor’s expenses on 1000 cases amounts to ` 1,50,000; it comes to
` 150 per case. The cost of cases lost will be computed at ` 1,650 per case
i.e. 1,500+150.
2. Bharat has incurred ` 47,500 on clearing 950 cases, i.e., ` 50 per case; while
valuing closing inventories with the agent ` 45 per case has been added to
cases in hand with the agent i.e. 1,500+150+50.
3. The goods in transit (50 cases) have not yet been cleared. Hence the
proportionate clearing charges on those goods have not been included in their
value i.e. 1,500+150 =1,650.
4. It has been assumed that balance of ` 12,43,500 is not yet paid.

20. (i) Accounting conventions emerge out of accounting practices, commonly known as
accounting principles, adopted by various organizations over a period of time.
These conventions are derived by usage and practice. The accountancy bodies of
the world may change any of the convention to improve the quality of accounting
information. Accounting conventions need not have universal application.
(ii) Distinction between Trade bill and Accommodation bill
(a) Trade bills are usually drawn to facilitate trade transmission, that is, these bills
are meant to finance actual purchase and sale of goods. On the other hand, an
accommodation bill is one which is drawn, accepted or endorsed for the
purpose of arranging financial accommodation for one or more interested
parties.
(b) On discount of a trade bill, full amount is retained by the drawer. In an
accommodation bill however, the amount may be shared by the drawer and the
drawee in an agreed ratio.
(c) Trade bill is drawn for some consideration while accommodation bill is drawn
and accepted without any consideration.
(d) Trade bill acts as an evidence of indebtedness while accommodation bill acts
as a source of finance.
(e) In order to recover the debt, the drawer can initiate legal action on a trade bill.
In accommodation bill, legal remedy for the recovery of amount may not be
available for immediate parties.
(iii) Machine Hour Rate method of calculating depreciation: Where it is practicable
to keep a record of the actual running hours of each machine, depreciation may be
calculated on the basis of hours that the concerned machinery worked. Under
machine hour rate method of calculating depreciation, the life of a machine is not
estimated in years but in hours. Thus depreciation is calculated after estimating the
total number of hours that machine would work during its whole life; however, it may
have to be varied from time to time, on a consideration of the changes in the
economic and technological conditions which might take place, to ensure that the
amount provided for depreciation corresponds to that considered appropriate in the
changed circumstances. Proper records are maintained for running hours of the
machine and depreciation is computed accordingly. For example, the cost of a
machine is `10,00,000 and life of the machine is estimated at 50,000 hours. The
hourly depreciation will be calculated as follows:
Total cost of Machine
Hourly Depreciation =
Estimated life of Machine
`10,00,000
=
50,000 hours
= ` 20 per hour
If the machine runs for say, 2,000 hours in a particular period, depreciation for the
period will be 2,000 hours ` 20 = ` 40,000.
(iv) Transactions are first entered in a book called ‘Journal’ to show which account
should be debited and which should be credited. Journal creates preliminary
records and, is also called subsidiary book. All transactions are first recorded in the
journal as and when they occur, the record is chronological, otherwise it would be
difficult to maintain the records in an ordinary manner. Journal gives details
regarding any transaction. Thus journal tells the amounts to be debited and credited
and also the accounts involved.

20. Write short notes on the following:
(i) Accounting conventions.
(ii) Trade bill vs. Accommodation bill.
(iii) Machine Hour Rate method of calculating depreciation
(iv) Journal
(v) Periodic Inventory System Vs Perpetual Inventory System
SUGGESTED ANSWERS/HINTS
1. (i) False: Prior Period Items should be separately disclosed in the current statement of
profit and loss together with their nature and amount in a manner that their impact
on current profit or loss can be perceived
(ii) True: Salary paid in advance relates to the coming accounting period. It has nothing
to do with the current period. Hence it is not taken in the Profit and Loss Account as
an expense. It is shown as a Current Asset in the Balance Sheet.
(iii) False: If the effect of errors committed cancel out, the errors will be called
compensating errors and the trial balance will agree.
(iv) False: The sale value of the by-product is credited to Manufacturing Account so as
to reduce to that extent, the cost of manufacture of main product.
(v) False: In Consignment sale, ownership of the goods rests with the consignor till
they are sold by the consignee. The consignee does not become the owner of the
goods even though goods are in his possession. He acts only as agent of the
consignor.
(vi) True: No interest is allowed when the due date of a bill falls after the date of closing
the account. However, interest from the date of closing to such due date is written
in ‘Red Ink’ in the appropriate side of account current.
(vii) False: Net income is determined by preparing income and expenditure in case of
persons practicing vacation.
(viii) False: As per Section 2 (52) of the Companies Act, 2013,"listed company" means a
company which has any of its securities listed on any recognised stock exchange.
(ix) False: According to Partnership Act, in the absence of any agreement to the
contrary profits and losses are to be shared equally among partners..
2. (a) Limitations which must be kept in mind while evaluating the Financial Statements
are as follows:
The factors which may be relevant in assessing the worth of the enterprise
don’t find place in the accounts as they cannot be measured in terms of
money.
Balance Sheet shows the position of the business on the day of its preparation
and not on the future date while the users of the accounts are interested in
knowing the position of the business in the near future and also in long run and
not for the past date.
Accounting ignores changes in some money factors like inflation etc.
There are occasions when accounting principles conflict with each other.
Certain accounting estimates depend on the sheer personal judgement of the
accountant.
Different accounting policies for the treatment of same item adds to the
probability of manipulations.
(b) Going Concern concept: The financial statements are normally prepared on the
assumption that an enterprise is a going concern and will continue its operation for
the foreseeable future. Hence, it is assumed that the enterprise has neither the
intention nor the need to liquidate or curtail materially the scale of its operations; if
such an intention or need exists, it should be disclosed in the financial statements.
Cost concept: It means that the value of an asset is to be determined on the basis of
historical cost, in other words, acquisition cost. Although there are various
measurement bases, accountants traditionally prefer this concept in the interests of
objectivity.

Working Notes:
1. Consignor’s expenses on 1000 cases amounts to ` 1,50,000; it comes to
` 150 per case. The cost of cases lost will be computed at ` 1,650 per case
i.e. 1,500+150.
2. Bharat has incurred ` 47,500 on clearing 950 cases, i.e., ` 50 per case; while
valuing closing inventories with the agent ` 45 per case has been added to
cases in hand with the agent i.e. 1,500+150+50.
3. The goods in transit (50 cases) have not yet been cleared. Hence the
proportionate clearing charges on those goods have not been included in their
value i.e. 1,500+150 =1,650.
4. It has been assumed that balance of ` 12,43,500 is not yet paid.

20. (i) Accounting conventions emerge out of accounting practices, commonly known as
accounting principles, adopted by various organizations over a period of time.
These conventions are derived by usage and practice. The accountancy bodies of
the world may change any of the convention to improve the quality of accounting
information. Accounting conventions need not have universal application.
(ii) Distinction between Trade bill and Accommodation bill
(a) Trade bills are usually drawn to facilitate trade transmission, that is, these bills
are meant to finance actual purchase and sale of goods. On the other hand, an
accommodation bill is one which is drawn, accepted or endorsed for the
purpose of arranging financial accommodation for one or more interested
parties.
(b) On discount of a trade bill, full amount is retained by the drawer. In an
accommodation bill however, the amount may be shared by the drawer and the
drawee in an agreed ratio.
(c) Trade bill is drawn for some consideration while accommodation bill is drawn
and accepted without any consideration.
(d) Trade bill acts as an evidence of indebtedness while accommodation bill acts
as a source of finance.
(e) In order to recover the debt, the drawer can initiate legal action on a trade bill.
In accommodation bill, legal remedy for the recovery of amount may not be
available for immediate parties.
(iii) Machine Hour Rate method of calculating depreciation: Where it is practicable
to keep a record of the actual running hours of each machine, depreciation may be
calculated on the basis of hours that the concerned machinery worked. Under
machine hour rate method of calculating depreciation, the life of a machine is not
estimated in years but in hours. Thus depreciation is calculated after estimating the
total number of hours that machine would work during its whole life; however, it may
have to be varied from time to time, on a consideration of the changes in the
economic and technological conditions which might take place, to ensure that the
amount provided for depreciation corresponds to that considered appropriate in the
changed circumstances. Proper records are maintained for running hours of the
machine and depreciation is computed accordingly. For example, the cost of a
machine is `10,00,000 and life of the machine is estimated at 50,000 hours. The
hourly depreciation will be calculated as follows:
Total cost of Machine
Hourly Depreciation =
Estimated life of Machine
`10,00,000
=
50,000 hours
= ` 20 per hour
If the machine runs for say, 2,000 hours in a particular period, depreciation for the
period will be 2,000 hours ` 20 = ` 40,000.
(iv) Transactions are first entered in a book called ‘Journal’ to show which account
should be debited and which should be credited. Journal creates preliminary
records and, is also called subsidiary book. All transactions are first recorded in the
journal as and when they occur, the record is chronological, otherwise it would be
difficult to maintain the records in an ordinary manner. Journal gives details
regarding any transaction. Thus journal tells the amounts to be debited and credited
and also the accounts involved.

16. Journal Entries in the Books of Trinity Ltd.
18. (i) Going Concern concept: The financial statements are normally
prepared on the assumption that an enterprise is a going concern
and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Hence, it
is assumed that the enterprise has neither the intention nor the
need to liquidate or curtail materially the scale of its operations; if
such an intention or need exists, the financial statements may have
to be prepared on a different basis and, if so, the basis used is
disclosed.
(ii) Accounting Standards are selected set of accounting policies or
broad guidelines regarding the principles and methods to be
chosen out of several alternatives. The main objective of
Accounting Standards is to establish standards which have to be
complied with, to ensure that financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Accounting Standards seek to suggest rules and criteria of
accounting measurements. These standards harmonize the diverse
accounting policies and practices at present in use in India.
(iii) Retirement of bills of exchange: Sometimes, the acceptor of a
bill of exchange has spare funds much before the maturity date of
the bill of exchange accepted by him. He may, therefore, desire to
pay the bill before the due date. In such a circumstance, the
acceptor shall ask the payee or the holder of the bill to accept cash
before the maturity date. If the payee agrees, the acceptor may be
allowed a rebate or discount on such early payment. This rebate is
generally the interest at an agreed rate for the period between the
date of payment and date of maturity. The interest/rebate/
discount becomes the income of the acceptor and expense of the
payee. It is a consideration for premature payment. When a bill is
paid before due date, it is said to be retired under rebate.
(iv) Banks are essential to modern society, but for an industrial unit, it
serves as a necessary instrument in the commercial world. Most of
the transactions of the business are done through bank whether it
is a receipt or payment. Rather, it is legally necessary to operate
the transactions through bank after a certain limit. All the
transactions, which have been operated through bank, if not
verified properly, the industrial unit may not be sure about its
liquidity position in the bank on a particular date. There may be
some cheques which have been issued, but not presented for
payment, as well as there may be some deposits which has been
deposited in the bank, but not collected or credited so far. Some
expenses might have been debited or bills might have been
dishonoured. It is not known to the industrial unit in time, it may
lead to wrong conclusions. The errors committed by bank may not
be known without preparing bank reconciliation statement.
Preparation of bank reconciliation statement prevents the chances
of embezzlement. Hence, bank reconciliation statement is very
important and is a necessity of an industrial unit as it plays a key
role in the liquidity control of the industry.
