Question 1
Write short note on the following: 2017 - June (5 marks)
Answer:
The Accrual Concept :
The accrual concept is based on recognition of both cash and credit transactions. In case of a cash
transaction, owner’s equity is instantly affected as cash either is received or paid. In a credit transaction,
however, a mere obligation towards or by the business is created. When credit transactions exist (which is
generally the case), revenues are not the same as cash receipts and expenses are not same as cash paid
during the period. When goods are sold on credit as per normally accepted trade practices, the business
gets the legal right to claim the money from the customer. Acquiring such right to claim the consideration
for sale of goods or services is called accrual of revenue. The actual collection of money from customer
could be at a later date.
Similarly, when the business procures goods or services with the agreement that the payment will be
made at a future date, it does not mean that the expense effect should not be recognized. Because an
obligation to pay for goods or services is created upon the procurement thereof, the expense effect also
must be recognized.
Today’s accounting systems based on accrual concept are called as Accrual System or Mercantile System
of Accounting.
Question 2
Write short notes on the following: 2017 – Dec (5 marks each)
(a)Objectives of Accounting
(b)Methods/ Criteria to the selection and application of Accounting policies
Answer:
(a) Objectives of Accounting:
The main objective of Accounting is to provide financial information to stakeholders. This financial
information is normally given via financial statements, which are prepared on the basis of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). There are various accounting standards developed by
professional accounting bodies all over the world. In India, these are governed by The Institute of
Chartered Accountants of India, (ICAI). In the US, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA) is responsible to lay down the standards. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is the
body that sets up the International Accounting Standards. These standards basically deal with accounting
treatment of business transactions and disclosing the same in financial statement:
The following are the main objectives of accounting:
(a) To ascertain the amount of profit or loss made by the business i.e. to compare the income earned versus
the expenses incurred and the net result thereof.
(b) To know the financial position of the business i.e. to assess what the business owns and what it owes.
(c) To provide a record for compliance with statutes and laws applicable.
(d) To enable the readers to assess progress made by the business over a period of time.
(e) To disclose information needed by different stakeholders.
Answer:
(b) The major considerations governing the selection and application of accounting policies are:
1.Prudence: Generally maker of financial statement has to face uncertainties at the time of preparation of
financial statement, these uncertainties may be regarding collectability of recoverable, number of
warranty claims that may occur. Prudence means making of estimates that are required under conditions
of uncertainty.
2.Substance over form: It means that transaction should be accounted for in accordance with actual
happening and economic reality of the transactions not by its legal form.
3.Materiality: Financial Statement should disclose all the items and facts which are sufficient enough to
influence the decisions of reader or/user of financial statement.
Question 3
Write short note on the following: 2017 – June (5 marks)
(a) Treatment of Abnormal Loss in case of Consignment Account.
(b) Weaknesses of Single Entry System
Answer (a):
Abnormal Losses arises as a result of negligence/ accident etc., e.g., theft, fire etc. Before ascertaining the
result of the consignment, value of abnormal loss should be adjusted. The method of calculation is similar
to the method of calculating unsold stock. Sometimes insurance company admits the claim in part or in
full. The same should also be adjusted against such abnormal loss.
While valuing the abnormal loss the proportionate expenses are taken only upto the stage of the loss. For
example, if goods are lost in the transit on way to the consignee’s place, the value of abnormal loss will
include the basic cost of the goods plus proportionate expenses of the consignor only and not the
proportionate expenses of consignee because consignee has spent nothing on account of these goods.
Answer (b):
Weaknesses of single entry system:
(a) As principle of double entry is not followed, the trial balance cannot be prepared. As such, arithmetical
accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
(b) Profit or loss can be found out only by estimates as Nominal Accounts are not maintained.
(c) It is not possible to make a balance sheet in absence of Real Accounts.
(d) It is very difficult to detect frauds or errors.
(e) Valuation of assets and liabilities is not proper.
(f) The external agencies like banks cannot use financial information. A bank cannot decide whether to
lend money or not.
(g) It is quite likely that the business and personal transactions of the proprietor get mixed.

Question 5
Write short note on the following: 2018 – June (5 marks)
(a) Operating cycle of Consignment Arrangement.
Answer:
Operating Cycle of Consignment Arrangement:
•Goods are sent by consignor to the consignee
•Consignee may pay some advance or accept a bill of exchange
•Consignee will incur expenses for selling the goods
•Consignee maintains records of all cash and credit sale
•Consignee prepares a summary of results called as Account sales
•Consignor pays commission to the consignee.
Question 6
Differences between sale and consignment. 2017 – Dec (5 marks)
Answer:
Difference between Sale and Consignment:
1. In sale the property in goods is transferred to the buyer immediately whereas in consignment the
property transferred to the buyer only when goods are sold by the consignee. The ownership of goods
remains with the consignor when goods are transferred to the consignee by the consignor.
2. In sale, the risk attaching to the goods passes with ownership to the buyer, in case of a consignment,
the risk attaching to the goods does not pass to the consignee who acts as a mere agent. If there is any
damage or loss to the goods it is borne by the consignor provided the consignee has taken reasonable
care of the goods and the damage or loss is not due to his negligence.
3. The relationship of consignor and consignee is that of a principal and an agent as in a contract of
agency whereas the relationship of buyer and seller is governed by the Sale of Goods Act.
4.Unsold goods on consignment are the property of the consignor and may be returned if not saleable in
the market whereas goods sold on sale basis are normally not returnable unless there is some defect in
them.
Question 7
Write short notes on the following: 2017 – Dec (5 marks)
(a) Criticism of the decision of Garner vs. Murray.
Answer:
Criticism of the decision of Garner vs. Murray
The following criticism may be advocated against the decisions laid down in Garner vs. Murray principle:
(i)If any solvent partner has a debit balance in capital account, he must not bear the deficiency of the
insolvent partner;
(ii)This principle does not apply if there are only two partners;
(iii)In spite of having a credit balance in capital account the solvent partner must bring cash equal to the
amount of loss on realisation which is immaterial and useless; and
If any solvent partner who possess more private asset but contributes less capital, he will naturally, as per
Garner vs. Murray decision, bear less amount of deficiency of the insolvent partner than the other solvent
partner who possess less private assets but contributes more capital to the firm. This is not justified.
Question 8

(i)plants cultivated to be harvested as agricultural produce;
(ii)plants cultivated to produce agricultural produce when there is more than a remote likelihood that the
entity will also harvest and sell the plant as agricultural produce, other than as incidental scrap sales;
(iii)annual crops.
Answer:
Business enterprises get insured against the loss of stock on the happening of certain events such as fire,
flood, theft, earthquake etc. Insurance being a contract of indemnity, the claim for loss is restricted to the
actual loss of assets. Sometimes an enterprise also gets itself insured against consequential loss of profit
due to decreased turnover, increased expenses etc.
If loss of profits consequent to the event or mis-happening (Fire, flood, theft etc.) is also insured, the policy
is known as loss of profit or consequential loss policy.
The Loss of Profit Policy normally covers the following items:
(i)Loss of net profit
(ii)Standing charges.
Any increased cost of working e.g., renting of temporary premises.
Question 15
Write short note on the following: 2018 – June (5 marks)
Features of Single Entry System.
Answer:
Single Entry System has the following features:
(a) Maintenance of books by a sole trader or partnership firm: The books which are maintained according
to this system can be kept only by a sole trader or by a partnership firm.
(b) Maintenance of cash book: In this system, it is very often to keep one cash book which mixes up
business as well as private transactions.
(c) Only personal accounts are kept: In this system, it is very common to keep only personal accounts and
to avoid real and nominal accounts. Therefore, sometimes, this is precisely defined as a system where only
personal accounts are kept.
(d) Collection of information from original documents: For information one has to depend on original
vouchers, example, in the case of credit sales, the proprietor may keep the invoice without recording it
anywhere and at the end of the year the total of the invoices gives an idea of total credit sales of the
business.
(e) Lack of uniformity: It lacks uniformity as it is a mere adjustment of double entry system according to
the convenience of the person.
(f) Difficulty in preparation of final accounts: It is much difficult to prepare trading, profit and loss account
and balance sheet due to the absence of nominal and real accounts in the ledger.
Answer:
In the case of dissolution of a partnership firm due to insolvency, Garner vs Murray rule is applicable at
the time of any partner becoming insolvent. It requires—
1.That the solvent partners should bear the loss arising due to insolvency of a partner in their capital ratio
after making adjustments for past accumulated reserves, profits or losses, drawings, interest on
drawings/capitals, remuneration to partners etc., to the date of dissolution but before making adjustment
for profit or loss on realization in case of fluctuating capital. In case of fixed capital no such adjustments
are required.
2.That the solvent partners should bring in cash equal to their respective shares of the loss on realization.

(6 Marks)
Answers
(a) AS 9 on Revenue Recognition, is mainly concerned with the timing of recognition of revenue in the
Statement of Profit and Loss of an enterprise. The amount of revenue arising on a transaction is usually
determined by agreement between the parties involved in the transaction. However, when uncertainties
exist regarding the determination of the amount, or its associated costs, these uncertainties may influence
the timing of revenue recognition.
Further, as per accrual concept of fundamental accounting assumptions given in AS 1 "Disclosure of
Accounting Policies", revenue should be recognised as and when it is accrued i.e. recorded in the financial
statements of the periods to which they relate.
In the present case, monthly rental towards licence fee and variable licence fee as a percentage on the
turnover of the tenant though on annual basis is the income related to common financial year. Therefore,
recognising the fee as revenue cannot be deferred simply because the invoice is raised in subsequent
period.

(a) Briefly explain the objectives and applicability of Accounting Standard for Construction Contracts (AS-
7). Describe the basic principles of recognition of revenue and expenses as per AS-7. 2019 Dec (8 Marks)
(b) What do you mean by 'Customised Accounting Software'? Discuss its advantages.
2019 Dec (8 Marks)
Answers
(a) Objective of AS-7 :
Accounting for long-term construction contracts involves question as to when revenue should be
recognized and how to measure the revenue in the books of contractor. The primary objective of this AS is
the allocation of 'contract revenue' and 'contract cost' to the accounting period in which construction
work is performed.
Applicability of AS-7:
This Standard is applicable in accounting for construction contracts in contractor's financial statements.
In other words the AS does not apply to customer (Contractee). This would not be applicable for the
construction projects undertaken by the enterprise on its own account as a commercial venture in the
nature of production activities.
Uncertainty in collection amounts to expenses - When an uncertainty arises about the collectability of an
amount already included in contract revenue and already
recognized in profit and loss statement, it amounts to expense. This uncollectable amount of which
recovery has ceased to be probable is recognized as an expense rather than as an adjustments to contract
revenue.

(b) Objective and necessity for providing Depreciation
(c) Applicability of Section 37 of the Indian Partnership Act, 1932
(d) Difference between Sale and Consignment
Answer:
(a) Users of Accounting Information
Accounting provides information both to internal users and the external users. The internal users are all
the organizational participants, at all levels of management (i.e. top, middle and lower). Generally top:
level management requires information for planning, middle level management which requires
information for controlling the operations. For internal use, the information is usually provided in the
form of reports, for instance Cash Budget Reports, Production Reports, Idle Time Reports, Feedback
Reports, whether to retain or replace an equipment decision reports, project appraisal report, and the
like.
There are also the external users (e.g. Banks, Creditors). They do not have direct
access to all the record 'of an enterprise, they have to rely on financial statements as the source of
information. External users are basically, interested in the solvency and profitability of an enterprise.
Conditions:
(a)The surviving partners/continuing partners continue to carry on the business of the firm.
(b)The business is carried on without any final settlement of accounts between the continuing partners
and the outgoing partners or his estate.
(c)There is no contract to the contrary of the options contained in Section 37 i.e. share in the profits or
interest @ 6% p.a. on the unsettled capital.
3.The relationship of consignor and consignee is that of a principal, and an agent as in a contract of agency
whereas the relationship of buyer and seller is governed by the Sale of Goods Act.
4.Unsold goods on consignment are the property of the consignor and may be returned if not saleable in
the market whereas goods sold on sale basis are normally not returnable unless there is some defect in
them.

(i)False, As per AS1 “disclosure of accounting policies”, Certain fundamental accounting assumptions
underlie the preparation and presentation of financial statements. They are usually not specifically stated
because their acceptance and use are assumed Disclosure is necessary if they are not followed.
(ii)False, As per AS 1 if the fundamental accounting assumptions, VIZ going concern, consistency and
accrual are followed in financial statements, specific disclosure is not required. If a fundamental
accounting assumption is not followed, the fact should be disclosed.
(iii)True, to ensure proper understanding of financial statements, it is necessary that all significant
accounting policies adopted in the preparation and presentation of financial statements should be
disclosed. The disclosure of the significant accounting policies as such should form part of a financial
statement and they should be disclosed at one place.
(iv)False, Any change in the accounting policies which has a material effect in the current period or which
is reasonably expected to have a material effect in later periods should be disclosed. Where such amount is
not ascertainable, wholly or in part, the fact should be indicated.
(v)True, As per AS 1, There is no single list of accounting policies which are applicable to all circumstances.
The differing circumstances in which enterprises operate in a situation of diverse and complex economic
activity make alternative accounting principles and methods of applying those principles acceptable.

Answer:
1.Source documents: Vouchers are the documentary evidence of the transactions so happened. Source
documents at the basis on which transactions are recorded in
subsidiary books, i.e. source documents are the evidence and proof of transactions.
2.Error of principle: Entering revenue expenses as capital expense or vice versa or entering revenue
receipt as capital receipt or vice versa.
3.Overriding Commission: it is an extra commission allowed over and above, the normal Commission is
generally offered for the following reasons:
i)When, the agent is required to put in hard work in introducing a new product in the market.
ii)Where he is entrusted with the work of supervising the performance of other agents in a particular area.
For effecting sales at prices higher than the price fixed by the consignor.
4.Transfer entries: Sometimes a person may be treated both as debtor as well as a creditor to the firm.
Under the circumstances, the lower of the amount payable to and receivable from such person is to be set
off. The so called set off amount is to be deducted both from the debtors as well as from the creditors. This
is known as transfer entry.

(i)Advantages of Double Entry System
It helps the trade know about his debtors and creditors from to time
It helps the trader to prepare the final accounts to reflect the true trading results at the end ofperiod
It provides a Balance Sheet on a particular date to know the true value of assets, liabilities andcapital
It helps the trader who can have a comparative study of working results and financial positionover a
number of years
It helps to find out and prevent errors and frauds
It provides ready-made information to be sent to Sales tax and Income Tax Authorities
It provides good guidance on which management take new decisions to increase the profit andcorrect
losses into profit
business for replacing asset. Otherwise this profit would have gone to the Government in the form of tax.
To match the cost with revenue, depreciation is necessary to measure the cost incurred during a given
period. Thus, know correct net income and financial condition for external reporting.
Depreciation helps to measure managerial performance. But, charging it on historical cost or
replacement cost basis is again a controversial issue and will affect the managerial decisions to be taken
by the top management. Differences in costs because of charge of depreciation under different methods,
tend to mislead management in selecting their operational alternative for more profitable for the firm as
a whole.
Withdraw of asset before the end of its useful life is not up to standard to cope with the increasing
competition in the market but due to the external factor of technological improvements in the existing
asset is refereed to obsolescence. In such atmosphere the asset is depreciated quickly otherwise profit
