                                      SUGGESTED ANSWERS/HINTS
1.   (a) (i)    As per AS 1, 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. In the case of a change in accounting policies which has a material effect in the
                current period, the amount by which any item in the financial statements is affected by such
                change should also be disclosed to the extent ascertainable. Where such amount is not
                ascertainable, wholly or in part, the fact should be indicated. Accordingly, the notes on
                accounts should properly disclose the change and its effect.
                Notes on Accounts: So far, the company has been providing 2% of sales for meeting “after
                sales expenses during the warranty period. With the improved method of production, the
                probability of defects occurring in the products has reduced considerably. Hence, the
                company has decided not to make provision for such expenses but to account for the same
                as and when expenses are incurred. Due to this change, the profit for the year is increased
                by Rs. 12 crores than would have been the case if the old policy were to continue.
     (b) As per AS 9 “Revenue Recognition”, in a transaction involving the sale of goods, performance
         should be regarded as being achieved when the following conditions are fulfilled:
          (i)   the seller of goods has transferred to the buyer the property in the goods for a pri ce or all
                significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer and the seller
                retains no effective control of the goods transferred to a degree usually associated with
                ownership; and
          (ii) no significant uncertainty exists regarding the amount of the consideration that will be derived
               from the sale of the goods.
                Case (i): 25% goods lying unsold with consignee should be treated as closing inventory and
                sales should be recognized for Rs. 3,00,000 (75% of Rs. 4,00,000) for the year ended on
                31.3.17. In case of consignment sale, revenue should not be recognized until the goods are
                sold to a third party.
                Case (ii): The sale is complete but delivery has been postponed at buyer’s request. Fashion
                Ltd. should recognize the entire sale of Rs.1,95,000 for the year ended 31 st March, 2017.
                Case (iii): In case of goods sold on approval basis, revenue should not be recognized until
                the goods have been formally accepted by the buyer or the buyer has done an act accepting
                the transaction or the time period for rejection has elapsed or where no time has been fixed,
                a reasonable time has elapsed. Therefore, revenue should be recognized for the total sales
                amounting Rs. 2,50,000 as the time period for rejecting the goods had expired.
                Thus total revenue amounting Rs. 7,45,000 (3,00,000+1,95,000+2,50,000) will be recognized
                for the year ended 31st March, 2017 in the books of Fashion Ltd.
     (c) As per para AS 2 ‘Valuation of Inventories’, abnormal amounts of wasted materials, labour and
         other production costs are excluded from cost of inventories and such costs are recognized as
         expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The normal loss will be included in determining
         the cost of inventories (finished goods) at the year end.

         by government or other regulatory body covering the aspects of recognition, measurement,
         presentation and disclosure of accounting transactions in the financial statements. Accounting
         Standards reduce the accounting alternatives in the preparation of financial statements and ensure
                                                            12

         standardization of alternative accounting treatments and comparability of financial statements of
         different enterprises.
         Accounting Standards deal with the issues of
         (i)   Recognition of events and transactions in the financial statements,
         (ii) Measurement of these transactions and events,
         (iii) Presentation of these transactions and events in the financial statements in a manner that is
               meaningful and understandable to the reader, and
         (iv) Disclosure requirements which should be there to enable the public at large and the
              stakeholders and the potential investors, in particular, to get an insight into what these
              financial statements are trying to reflect and thereby facilitating them to take prudent and
              informed business decisions.
    (e) In modern time, computerized accounting systems are used in various areas. The significance of
        the computerized accounting system is as follows:
         (1) Increase speed, accuracy and security - In computerized accounting system, the speed with
             which accounts can be maintained is several fold higher. Besides speed, level of accuracy is
             also high in computerized accounting system.
         (2) Reduce errors - In computerized accounting, the possibilities of errors are also very less
             unless some mistake is made while recording the data.
         (3) Immediate information - In this system, with an entry of a transaction, corresponding ledger
             posting is done automatically. Hence, trial balance will also be automatically tallied and the
             user will get the information immediately.
         (4) Avoid duplication of work - Computerized accounting systems also remove the duplication of
             the work.
