PAPER – 1: ACCOUNTING
SUGGESTED ANSWERS/HINTS
1. (a) 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.
Amount of Normal Loss and Abnormal Loss:
Material used 12,000 MT @ Rs. 150 = Rs. 18,00,000
Normal Loss (4% of 12,000 MT) 480 MT
Net quantity of material 11,520 MT
Abnormal Loss in quantity 150 MT (630 MT less 480 MT)
Abnormal Loss Rs. 23,437.50 [150 units @ Rs. 156.25
(Rs.18,00,000/11,520)]
Amount Rs. 23,437.50 will be charged to the Profit and Loss statement.
(b) In the books of Ram Ltd.
If the grant is credited to Deferred Grant Account:
As per AS 12 ‘Accounting for Government Grants,’ income from Deferred Grant Account is
allocated to Profit and Loss account usually over the periods and in the proportions in which
depreciation on related assets is charged.
Accordingly, in the first two years (Rs. 32 lakhs /4 years) = Rs. 8 lakhs x 2 years =
Rs. 16 lakhs will be credited to Profit and Loss Account and Rs. 16 lakhs will be the balance of
Deferred Grant Account after two years.
Therefore, on refund of grant, following entry will be passed:
Rs. Rs.
I Deferred Grant A/c Dr. 16 lakhs
Profit & Loss A/c Dr. 16 lakhs
To Bank A/c 32 lakhs
(Being Government grant refunded)
1. Value of Fixed Assets after two years but before refund of grant
Fixed assets initially recorded in the books = Rs. 80 lakhs
Depreciation for each year = (Rs. 80 lakhs – Rs.8 lakhs)/4 years = Rs. 18 lakhs per year
Book value of fixed assets after two years = Rs. 80 lakhs – (Rs. 18 lakhs x 2 years) = Rs. 44
lakhs

2. Value of Fixed Assets after refund of grant
On refund of grant the balance of deferred grant account will become nil. The fixed assets will
continue to be shown in the books at Rs. 44 lakhs.
3. Amount of depreciation for remaining two years
Depreciation will continue to be charged at Rs. 18 lakhs per annum for the remaining two
years.
(c) As per AS 4 ‘Contingencies and Events Occurring After the Balance Sheet Date’, adjustment to
assets and liabilities are required for events occurring after the balance sheet date that provide
additional information materially affecting the determination of the amounts relating to conditions
existing at the Balance Sheet date.
A debtor for Rs. 20,00,000 suffered heavy loss due to earthquake in the last week of February,
2019 which was not covered by insurance. This information with its implications was already known
to the company. The fact that he became bankrupt in April, 2019 (after the balance sheet date) is
only an additional information related to the condition existing on the balance sheet date.
Accordingly, full provision for bad debts amounting Rs. 20,00,000 should be made, to cover the
loss arising due to the insolvency of a debtor, in the final accounts for the year ended 31 st March
2019. Since the company has already made 5% provision of its total debtors, additional provision
amounting Rs. 19,00,000 shall be made (20,00,000 x 95%).
(d) 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.

(d) The Framework for Recognition and Presentation of Financial statements recognises four
alternative measurement bases for the purpose of determining the value at which an element can
be recognized in the balance sheet or statement of profit and loss. These bases are: (i)Historical
Cost; (ii)Current cost (iii) Realisable (Settlement) Value and (iv) Present Value.
A brief explanation of each measurement basis is as follows:
1. Historical Cost: Historical cost means acquisition price. According to this, assets are
recorded at an amount of cash or cash equivalent paid or the fair value of the asset at the
time of acquisition. Liabilities are generally recorded at the amount of proceeds received in
exchange for the obligation.
2. Current Cost: Current cost gives an alternative measurement basis. Assets are carried out
at the amount of cash or cash equivalent that would have to be paid if the same or an
equivalent asset was acquired currently. Liabilities are carried at the undiscounted amount of
cash or cash equivalents that would be required to settle the obligation currently.
3. Realisable (Settlement) Value: As per realisable value, assets are carried at the amount of
cash or cash equivalents that could currently be obtained by selling the assets in an orderly
disposal. Liabilities are carried at their settlement values; i.e. the undiscounted amount of
cash or cash equivalents paid to satisfy the liabilities in the normal course of business.
4. Present Value: Under present value convention, assets are carried at present value of future
net cash flows generated by the concerned assets in the normal course of business. Liabilities
under this convention are carried at present value of future net cash flows that are expected
to be required to settle the liability in the normal course of business.

1. (a) As per Rule 3 of the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014, One Person Company (OPC) cannot
convert voluntarily into any kind of company unless two years have expired from the date of
incorporation, except where the paid up share capital is increased beyond fifty lakh rupees or its
average annual turnover during the relevant period exceeds two crore rupees.
Besides, Section 18 of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that a company of any class registered
under this Act may convert itself as a company of other class under this Act by alteration of
memorandum and articles of the company in accordance with the provisions of the Chapter II of
the Act.
According to the above provisions, following are the answers to the given circumstances:
(i) Where, if the promotors increases the paid up capital of the company by Rs. 10.00 lakh during
2017-2018 i.e., to Rs. 55 lakh (45+10= 55), ‘New’ (OPC) may convert itself voluntarily into
any other kind of company due to increase in the paid up share capital exceeding 50 lakh
rupees. This could be done by the ‘New’ by alteration of memorandum and articles of the
company in compliance with the Provisions of the Act.
(ii) Where if the turnover of the ‘New’ during 2017-18 was Rs. 3.00 crore, there will be no change
in the answer, as it meets up the requirement of minimum turnover i.e., Rs. 2 crore for
voluntarily conversion of ‘New’ (OPC) into any other kind of company.
(b) (i) Transfer to reserves (Section 123 of the Companies Act, 2013): A company may, before
the declaration of any dividend in any financial year, transfer such percentage of its profits for
that financial year as it may consider appropriate to the reserves of the company. Therefore,
the company may transfer such percentage of profit to reserves before declaration of dividend
as it may consider necessary. Such transfer is not mandatory and the percentage to be
transferred to reserves is at the discretion of the company.
As per the given facts, YZ Limited has earned a profit of Rs. 910 crores for the financial year
2017-18. It has proposed a dividend @ 10%. However, it does not intend to transfer any
amount to the reserves of the company out of current year profit.
1
As per the provisions stated above, the amount to be transferred to reserves out of profits for
a financial year is at the discretion of the YZ Ltd. acting vide its Board of Directors.
(ii) As per the proviso to section 127 of the Companies Act, 2013, no offence will be said to have
been committed by a director for adjusting the calls in arrears remaining unpaid or any other
sum due from a member from the dividend as is declared by a company.
Thus, as per the given facts, M/s Future Ltd. can adjust the sum of Rs. 50,000 unpaid call
money against the declared dividend of 10%, i.e. 5,00,000 x 10/100 = 50,000. Hence, Karan’s
unpaid call money (Rs. 50,000) can be adjusted fully from the entitled dividend amount of
Rs. 50,000/-.
(c) Co-sureties liable to contribute equally (Section 146 of the Indian Contract act, 1872): Equality
of burden is the basis of Co-suretyship. This is contained in section 146 which states that “when
two or more persons are co-sureties for the same debt, or duty, either jointly, or severally and
whether under the same or different contracts and whether with or without the knowledge of each
other, the co-sureties in the absence of any contract to the contrary, are liable, as between
themselves, to pay each an equal share of the whole debt, or of that part of it which remains unpaid
by the principal debtor”.
Accordingly, on the default of D in payment, B cannot escape from his liability. All the three sureties
A, B and N are liable to pay equally, in absence of any contract between them.
(d) Capacity to make, etc., promissory notes, etc. (Section 26 of the Negotiable Instruments Act,
1881): Every person capable of contracting, according to the law to which he is subject, may bind
himself and be bound by the making, drawing, acceptance, endorsement, delivery and negotiation
of a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque.
However, a minor may draw, endorse, deliver and negotiate such instruments so as to bind all
parties except himself.
As per the facts given in the question, Mr. S Venkatesh draws a cheque in favour of M, a minor. M
endorses the same in favour of Mrs. A to settle his rental dues. The cheque was dishonoured when
it was presented by Mrs. A to the bank on the ground of inadequacy of funds. Here, in this case,
M being a minor may draw, endorse, deliver and negotiate the instrument so as to bind all parties
except himself. Therefore, M is not liable. Mrs. A can, thus, proceed against Mr. S Venkatesh to
collect her dues.
2. (a) Section 118 of the Companies Act, 2013 provides that every company shall prepare, sign and keep
minutes of proceedings of every general meeting, including the meeting called by the requisitionists
and all proceedings of meeting of any class of shareholders or creditors or Board of Directors or
committee of the Board and also resolution passed by postal ballot within thirty days of the
conclusion of every such meeting concerned. Minutes kept shall be evidence of the proce edings
recorded in a meeting.
By virtue of Rule 25 of the Companies (Management and Administration ) Rules 2014 read with
section 118 of the Companies Act, 2013 each page of every such book shall be initialled or signed
and the last page of the record of proceedings of each meeting or each report in such books shall
be dated and signed by, in the case of minutes of proceedings of a general meeting, by the
chairman of the same meeting within the aforesaid period of thirty days or in the event of the death
or inability of that chairman within that period, by a director duly authorized by the Board for the
purpose.
Therefore, the minutes of the meeting referred to in the case given above can be signed in the
absence of Mr Venkat, by any director who is authorized by the Board.
2
(b) Credit of amount to the Fund: There shall be credited to the Investor Education and Protection
Fund the following amounts—
(a) Amount given by the Central Government- the amount given by the Central Government
by way of grants after due appropriation made by Parliament by law in this behalf for being
utilised for the purposes of the Fund;
(b) Donations by the Central Government- donations given to the Fund by the Central
Government, State Governments, companies or any other institution for the purposes of the
Fund;
(c) Amount of Unpaid Dividend Account- the amount in the Unpaid Dividend Account (UDA)
of companies transferred to the Fund under section 124(5);
(d) Amount of the general revenue account of the Central Government- the amount in the
general revenue account of the Central Government which had been transferred to that
account under section 205A(5) of the Companies Act, 1956 as it stood immediately before
the commencement of the Companies (Amendment) Act, 1999 and remaining unpaid or
unclaimed on the commencement of this Act;
(e) Amount in IEPF- the amount lying in the Investor Education and Protection Fund under
section 205C of the Companies Act, 1956;
(f) Income from investments- the interest or other income received out of investments made
from the Fund;
(g) Amount received through disgorgement or disposal of securities- The amount received
under section 38(4) i.e. amount received through disgorgement or disposal of securities under
section 38(3) shall be credited to the IEPF provided under section 38(4);
(h) Application money- the application money received by companies for allotment of any
securities and due for refund;
(i) Matured deposits- matured deposits with companies other than banking companies;
(j) Matured debentures- matured debentures with companies;
(k) Interest- interest accrued on the amounts referred to in clauses (h) to (j);
(l) Amount received from sale proceeds- sale proceeds of fractional shares arising out of
issuance of bonus shares, merger and amalgamation for seven or more years;
(m) Redemption amount- redemption amount of preference shares remaining unpaid or
unclaimed for seven or more years; and
(n) Other amount- such other amount as prescribed in Rule 3 of the Investor Education and
Protection Fund Authority (Accounting, Audit, Transfer and Refund) Rules, 2016.
(c) The problem in this case, is based on the provisions of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 as contained
in Section 215 read with Section 216. The two sections provide that where an agent without the
knowledge of the principal, deals in the business of agency on his own account, the principal may:
(1) repudiate the transaction, if the case shows, either that the agent has dishonestly concealed
any material fact from him, or that the dealings of the agent have been disadvantageous to
him.
(2) claim from the agent any benefit, which may have resulted to him from the transaction.
Therefore, based on the above provisions, Mr. Ahuja is entitled to recover Rs. 6 lakhs from
Mr. Singh being the amount of profit earned by Mr. Singh out of the transaction.
3
(d) As per section 91 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, a bill may be dishonoured either by
non-acceptance or by non-payment.
Dishonour by non-acceptance may take place in any one of the following circumstances:
(i) When the drawee either does not accept the bill within forty-eight hours (exclusive of public
holidays) of presentment or refuse to accept it;
(ii) When one of several drawees, not being partners, makes default in acceptance;
(iii) When the drawee makes a qualified acceptance;
(iv) When presentment for acceptance is excused and the bill remains unaccepted; and
(v) When the drawee is incompetent to contract.
3. (a) The Companies Act, 2013 by virtue of provisions as contained in Section 39 (1) and (2) regulates
and restricts the minimum subscription and the application money payable in a public issue of
shares as under:
Minimum subscription [Section 39 (1)]
No Allotment shall be made of any securities of a company offered to the public for subscrip tion;
unless; -
(i) the amount stated in the prospectus as the minimum amount has been subscribed; and
(ii) the sums payable on application for such amount has been paid to and received by the
company-
Application money: Section 39 (2) provides that the amount payable on application on each
security shall not be less than 5% of the nominal amount of such security or such amount as SEBI
may prescribe by making any regulations in this behalf.
Further section 39 (3) provides that if the stated minimum amount is not received by the company
within 30 days of the date of issue of the prospectus or such time as prescribed by SEBI, the
company will be required to refund the application money received within such time and manner
as may be prescribed.
In case of any default under sub-section, the company and its officer who is in default shall be
liable to a penalty, for each default, of one thousand rupees for each day during which such default
continues or one lakh rupees, whichever is less.
Section 40 (3) provides that all moneys received on application from the public for subscription to
the securities shall be kept in a separate bank account maintained with a scheduled bank.
(b) Disqualification of auditor: According to section 141(3)(d)(i) of the Companies Act, 2013, a
person who, or his relative or partner holds any security of the company or its subsidiary or of its
holding or associate company a subsidiary of such holding company, which carries voting ri ghts,
such person cannot be appointed as auditor of the company. Provided that the relative of such
person may hold security or interest in the company of face value not exceeding 1 lakh rupees as
prescribed under the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014.
In the case Mr. Naresh, Chartered Accountants, did not hold any such security. But Mrs. Kamala,
his wife held equity shares of EF Limited of face value Rs. 1 lakh, which is within the specified limit.
Further Section 141(4) provides that if an auditor becomes subject, after his appointment, to any
of the disqualifications specified in sub-section 3 of section 141, he shall be deemed to have
vacated his office of auditor. Hence, Naresh & Company can continue to function as auditors of
4
the Company even after 15th October 2018 i.e. after the investment made by his wife in the equity
shares of EF Limited.
(c) As per Section 44 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, when the consideration for which a
person signed a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque consisted of money, and was originally
absent in part or has subsequently failed in part, the sum which a holder standing in immediate
relation with such signer is entitled to receive from him is proportionally reduced.
Explanation—The drawer of a bill of exchange stands in immediate relation with the acceptor. The
maker of a promissory note, bill of exchange or cheque stands in immediate relation with the payee,
and the endorser with his endorsee. Other signers may by agreement stand in immediate relation
with a holder.
On the basis of above provision, P would succeed to recover Rs. 7,000 only from Q and not the
whole amount of the bill because it was accepted for value as to Rs. 7,000 only and an
accommodation to P for Rs. 3,000.
(d) Where the language used in a statute is capable of more than one interpretation, the most firmly
established rule for construction is the principle laid down in the Heydon’s case. This rule enables,
consideration of four matters in constituting an act :
(1) what was the law before making of the Act,
(2) what was the mischief or defect for which the law did not provide,
(3) what is the remedy that the Act has provided, and
(4) what is the reason for the remedy.
The rule then directs that the courts must adopt that construction which ‘shall suppress the mischief
and advance the remedy’. Therefore even in a case where the usual meaning of the language used
falls short of the whole object of the legislature, a more extended meaning may be attributed to the
words, provided they are fairly susceptible of it. If the object of any enactment is public safety, then
its working must be interpreted widely to give effect to that object. Thus in the case of Workmen’s
Compensation Act, 1923 the main object being provision of compensation to workmen, it was held
that the Act ought to be so construed, as far as possible, so as to give effect to its primary
provisions.
However, it has been emphasized by the Supreme Court that the rule in Heydon’s case is
applicable only when the words used are ambiguous and are reasonably capable of more than one
meaning [CIT v. Sodra Devi (1957) 32 ITR 615 (SC)].
4. (a) The Companies Act, 2013 under section 13 provides for the process of altering the Memorandum
of a company. Since the location or Registered Office clause in the Memorandum only names the
state in which its registered office is situated, a change in address from Mumbai to Nashik, does
not result in the alteration of the Memorandum and hence the provisions of section 13 (and its sub
sections) do not apply in this case.
However, under section 12 (5) of the Act which deals with the registered office of company, the
change in registered office from one town or city to another in the same state, must be approved
by a special resolution of the company. Further, presuming that the Registrar will remain the same
for the whole state of Maharashtra, there will be no need for the company to seek the confirmation
to such change from the Regional Director.
(b) A Proxy is an instrument in writing executed by a shareholder authorizing another person to attend
a meeting and to vote thereat on his behalf and in his absence. As per the provisions of Section
105 of the Companies Act, 2013, every shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote has a
5
statutory right to appoint another person as his proxy. It is not necessary that the proxy be a
member of the company. Further, any provision in the articles of association of the company
requiring instrument of proxy to be lodged with the company more than 48 hours before a meeting
shall have effect as if 48 hours had been specified therein. The members have a right to revoke
the proxy’s authority by voting himself before the proxy has voted but once the proxy has voted the
member cannot retract his authority.
Where two proxy instruments by the same shareholder are lodged of in such a manner that one is
lodged before and the other after the expiry of the date fixed for lodging proxies, the former will be
counted.
Thus, in case of member X, the proxy Y will be permitted to vote on his behalf as form for appointing
proxy was submitted within the permitted time.
However, in the case of Member W, the proxy M (and not Proxy N) will be permitted to vote as the
proxy authorizing N to vote was deposited in less than 48 hours before the meeting.
(c) “Immovable Property” [Section 3(26) of the General Clauses Act, 1897]: ‘Immovable Property’
shall include:
(i) Land
(ii) Benefits to arise out of land, and
(iii) Things attached to the earth, or
(iv) Permanently fastened to anything attached to the earth.
It is an inclusive definition. It contains four elements: land, benefits to arise out of land, things
attached to the earth and things permanently fastened to anything attached to the earth. Where, in
any enactment, the definition of immovable property is in the negative and not exhaustive, the
definition as given in the General Clauses Act will apply to the expression given in that enactment.
In the instant case, X sold Land along with timber (obtained after cutting trees) of fifty tamarind
trees of his land. According to the above definition, Land is immovable property; however, timber
cannot be immovable property since the same are not attached to the earth.
(d) Dictionary Definitions: First we refer the Act in question to find out if any particular word or
expression is defined in it. Where we find that a word is not defined in the Act itself, we may refer
to dictionaries to find out the general sense in which that word is commonly understood. However,
in selecting one out of the several meanings of a word, we must always take into consideration the
context in which it is used in the Act. It is the fundamental rule that the meanings of words and
expressions used in an Act must take their colour from the context in which they appear. Further,
judicial decisions laying down the meaning of words in construing statutes in ‘pari materia’ will have
greater weight than the meaning furnished by dictionaries. However, for technical terms, reference
may be made to technical dictionaries.
5. (a) Section 40 (6) of the Companies Act 2013, provides that a company may pay commission to any
person in connection with the subscription or procurement of subscription to its securities, whether
absolute or conditional, subject to the number of c onditions which are prescribed under
Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014. Under the Companies
(Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014 the rate of commission paid or agreed to be
paid shall not exceed, in case of shares, five percent (5%) of the price at which the shares are
issued or a rate authorised by the articles, whichever is less.
In the given problem, the articles of X Ltd. have prescribed 4% underwriting commission but the
directors decided to pay 5% underwriting commission.
6
Therefore, the decision of the Board of Directors to pay 5% commission to the underwriters is
invalid.
(b) The term charge has been defined in section 2 (16) of the Companies Act, 2013 as an interest or
lien created on the property or assets of a company or any of its undertakings or both as security
and includes a mortgage.
Every company is under an obligation to keep at its registered office a register of charges and enter
therein all charges specifically affecting property of the c ompany and all floating charges on the
undertaking or any property of the company.
Punishment for contravention – According to section 86 of the Companies Act, 2013, if a
company makes any default with respect to the registration of charges covered under chapter VI,
a penalty shall be levied, ranging from Rs. 1 lakh to 10 lakhs.
Every defaulting officer is punishable with imprisonment for a term not exceeding 6 months or fine
which shall not be less than 25,000 rupees, but not exceeding 1 lakh rupees or both.
(c) Section 124 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872 says that “A contract by which one party promises to
save the other from loss caused to him by the conduct of the promisor himself, or the conduct of
any person”, is called a “contract of indemnity”.
Section 126 of the Indian Contract Act says that “A contract to perform the promise made or
discharge liability incurred by a third person in case of his default.” is called as “contract of

PAPER – 3: COST MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
1. (a) Working notes:
1. (i) Number of units sold at 80% capacity
Turnover Rs. 8,00,000
= = = 32,000 units.
Selling price p.u. Rs. 25
(ii) Number of units sold at 100% capacity
Rs. 32,000 units
× 100 = 40,000 units
80
2. Component of fixed cost included in semi-variable cost of 32,000 units.
Fixed cost = {Total semi-variable cost – Total variable cost }
= Rs.1,80,000 – 32,000 units × Rs.3.75
= Rs.1,80,000 – Rs.1,20,000
= Rs.60,000
3. (i) Total fixed cost at 80% capacity
= Fixed cost + Component of fixed cost included in semi—variable cost
(Refer to working note 2)
= Rs.90,000 + Rs.60,000 = Rs.1,50,000
(ii) Total fixed cost beyond 80% capacity
= Total fixed cost at 80% capacity + Additional fixed cost to be incurred
= Rs.1,50,000 + Rs.20,000 = Rs.1,70,000
4. Variable cost and contribution per unit
Variable cost per unit = Material cost + Labour cost + Variable cost component in
semi variable cost = Rs.7.50 + Rs.6.25 + Rs.3.75 = Rs.17.50
Contribution per unit = Selling price per unit – Variable cost per unit
= Rs.25 – Rs.17.50 = Rs.7.50
5. Profit at 80% capacity level
= Sales revenue – Variable cost – Fixed cost
= Rs.8,00,000 – Rs.5,60,000 (32,000 units × Rs.17.50) – Rs.1,50,000
= Rs.90,000
(i) Activity level at Break–Even Point
Fixed cost Rs. 1, 50, 000
Break-even point (units) = = = 20,000 units
Contribution per unit Rs. 7.50
(Refer to working notes 3 & 4)

Break - Even point (units)
Activity level at BEP = × 100
No. of units at 100% capacity level
(Refer to working note 1(ii))
20,000 units
= × 100 = 50%
40,000 units
(ii) Number of units to be sold to earn a net income of 8% of sales
Let S be the number of units sold to earn a net income of 8% of sales.
Mathematically it means that : (Sales revenue of S units)
= Variable cost of S units + Fixed cost + Net income
8
Or, Rs.25S = Rs.17.5S + Rs.1,50,000 + × (Rs.25S)
100
Or, Rs.25S = Rs.17.5S + Rs.1,50,000 + Rs.2S
Or, S = (Rs.1,50,000/Rs.5.5) units
Or, S = 27,273 units.
(iii) Activity level needed to earn a profit of Rs. 95,000
The profit at 80% capacity level, is Rs. 90,000 which is less than the desired profit
of Rs. 95,000, therefore the needed activity level would be more than 80%. Thus
the fixed cost to be taken to determine the activity level needed should be
Rs.1,70,000 (Refer to Working Note 3 (ii))
Units to be sold to earn a profit of Rs.95,000
Fixed cost + Desired profit
=
Contribution per unit
Rs. 1,70,000 + Rs. 95,000
=
Rs. 7.5
= 35,333.33 units
Activity level needed to earn a profit of Rs.95,000
35,333.33 units
= × 100 = 88.33%

Difference inTotalOverheads
(b) (i) Variable overhead absorption rat 
Difference in levels in terms of machine hours
Rs.3,47,625 - Rs.3,38,875
= = Rs.8.75 per machine hour.
15,500hours -14,500hours
(ii) Calculation of Total fixed overheads:
(Rs.)
Total overheads at 14,500 hours 3,38,875
Less: Variable overheads (Rs. 8.75 × 14,500) (1,26,875)
Total fixed overheads 2,12,000

(iii) Calculation of Budgeted level of activity in machine hours:
Let budgeted level of acti vity = X
(Rs. 8.75 X + Rs.2,12,000)
T hen, = Rs. 22
X
8.75X + Rs.2,12,000 = 22X
13.25X = 2,12,000
X =16,000
T hus, budgeted level of activity = 16,000 machine hours.
(iv) Calculation of Under / Over absorption of overheads:
(Rs.)
Actual overheads 3,22,000
Absorbed overheads (14,970 hours × Rs. 22 per hour) 3,29,340
Over-absorption (3,29,340 – 3,22,000) 7,340
(v) Departmental absorption rates provide costs which are more precise than those provided
by the use of blanket absorption rates. Departmental absorption rates facilitate variance
analysis and cost control. The application of these rates make the task of stock and work-
in-process (WIP) valuation easier and more precise. However, the setting up and
monitoring of these rates can be time consuming and expensive.

 Output by new recruits = 60% of 5,000 = 3,000 units
Less of output = 5,000 – 3,000 = 2,000 units
Total loss of output = 10,000 + 2,000 = 12,000 units
Contribution per unit = 20% of 180 = Rs. 36
Total contribution cost = 36 × 12,000 = Rs. 4,32,000
Cost of repairing defective units = 3,000 × 0.2 × 25 = Rs. 15,000

(iv) Minimum consumption per day of raw material ‘Dee’:
Average Consumption per day = 100 kg.
Hence, Maximum Consumption per day = 100 kg. + 20 kg. = 120 kg.
So, Minimum consumption per day will be
Min.consumption  Max.consumption
Average Consumption =

Min.consumption  120kg.
Or, 100 kg. =

Or, Min. consumption = 200 kg – 120 kg. = 80 kg.
(a) Re-order Quantity:
EOQ – 200 kg. = 1,697 kg. – 200 kg. = 1,497 kg.
(b) Maximum Stock level:
= Re-order level + Re-order Quantity – (Min. consumption per day × Min. lead time)
= 960 kg. + 1,497 kg. – (80 kg. × 4 days)
= 2,457 kg. – 320 kg. = 2,137 kg.
(c) Minimum Stock level:

6. (a) Accounting treatment of idle time wages & overtime wages in cost accounts: Normal idle
time is treated as a part of the cost of production. Thus, in the case of direct workers, an
allowance for normal idle time is built into the labour cost rates. In the case of indirect workers,
normal idle time is spread over all the products or jobs through the process of absorption of
factory overheads.
Under Cost Accounting, the overtime premium is treated as follows:
If overtime is resorted to at the desire of the customer, then the overtime premium may be
charged to the job directly.
If overtime is required to cope with general production program or for meeting urgent orders,
the overtime premium should be treated as overhead cost of particular department or cost
center which works overtime.
Overtime worked on account of abnormal conditions should be charged to costing Profit &
Loss Account.
If overtime is worked in a department due to the fault of another department the overtime
premium should be charged to the latter department.

(c) Expenses other than direct material cost and direct employee cost, which are incurred to
manufacture a product or for provision of service and can be directly traced in an economically
feasible manner to a cost object. The following costs are examples for direct expenses:
(a) Royalty paid/ payable for production or provision of service;
(b) Hire charges paid for hiring specific equipment;
(c) Cost for product/ service specific design or drawing;
(d) Cost of product/ service specific software;

(e) Other expenses which are directly related with the production of goods or provision of
service.
(d) Product costs are those costs that are identified with the goods purchased or produced for
resale. In a manufacturing organisation they are attached to the product and that are included
in the inventory valuation for finished goods, or for incomplete goods. Product cost is also
known as inventoriable cost. Under absorption costing method it includes direct material , direct
labour, direct expenses, directly attributable costs (variable and non-variable) and other
production (manufacturing) overheads. Under marginal costing method Product Costs
includes all variable production costs and the all fixed costs are deducted from the contribution.
Periods costs are the costs, which are not assigned to the products but are charged as
expense against revenue of the period in which they are incurred. General Administration,
marketing, sales and distributor overheads are recognized as period costs.

tax in India:
(i) Income received or deemed to be received in India; and
(ii) Income accruing or arising or deemed to accrue or arise in India.
Therefore, only that part of interest income and income from profession which is received in

(b) Computation of interest payable under section 234B by Mr. Sailesh
Particulars Rs.
Tax on total income of Rs.10,80,000 [Business income of Rs.8,10,000 + 1,36,500

Interest under section 234B is leviable since advance tax of Rs.1,03,000 paid
is less than Rs.1,05,264, being 90% of assessed tax
Number of months from 1 st April, 2019 to 11th December, 2019, being the date 9
of processing of return
Interest under section 234B@1% per month or part of a month for 9 months 1,251

advance tax of Rs.1,03,000 paid, being Rs.13,960 which is rounded off to
Rs.13,900 under Rule 119A of Income-tax Rules, 1962]
Consequences for delay in filing return of income on or before the due date
Interest under section 234A and fee under section 234F would be attracted for filing return of
income beyond the due date specified under section 139(1).
Interest under section 234A
Since Mr. Sailesh’s accounts are audited under section 44AB, the due date for filing of return for
A.Y. 2019-20, in his case, is 30.09.2019. Mr. Sailesh has filed his return on 11.12.2019 i.e.,
interest under section 234A will be payable for 3 months (from 1.10.2019 to 11.12.2019) @ 1%
per month or part of month on the amount of tax payable on the total income, as reduced by TDS
and advance tax paid i.e., Rs.13,960 rounded off to Rs.13,900 under Rule 119A of Income-tax
Rules, 1962
Interest u/s 234A = Rs.13,900 x 1% x 3 = Rs.417
Fee for late filing of return under section 234F
Since Mr. Sailesh has furnished his return of income after the due date but before 31.12.2019 and his
total income exceeds Rs.5 lakhs, a fee of Rs.5,000 will be payable by him.

Note: Computation of Gross Annual Value (GAV) of first floor of Suresh’s house
If a single unit of property (in this case the first floor of Suresh’s house) is let out for some
months and self-occupied for the other months, then the Expected Rent of the property shall be
taken into account for determining the annual value. The Expected Rent shall be compared with
the actual rent and whichever is higher shall be adopted as the annual value. In this case, the
actual rent shall be the rent for the period for which the property was let out during the previous
year.
The Expected Rent is the higher of fair rent and municipal value. This should be considered for 9
months since the construction of property was completed only on 30.6.2018.
Expected rent = Rs.75,000 being higher of -
Fair rent = 1,00,000 x 9 /12 = Rs.75,000
Municipal value = 72,000 x 9/12 = Rs.54,000
Actual rent = Rs.90,000 (Rs.15,000 p.m. for 6 months from July to December, 2018)
Gross Annual Value = Rs.90,000 (being higher of Expected Rent of Rs.75,000 and actual rent of
Rs.90,000)

Income from Salaries 7,62,800
Note: Under Rule 3(7)(viii), while calculating the perquisite value of benefit to the employee arising
from the transfer of any movable asset, the normal wear and tear is to be calculated in respect of each
completed year during which the asset was put to use by the employer. In the given case the third
year of use of car is completed on 15.7.2018 whereas the car was sold to the employee on 14.7.2018.
The solution worked out above provides for wear and tear for only two years.
4. (a) (i) ABC Bank has to deduct tax at source@10% under section 194A, since the aggregate
interest on fixed deposit with the three branches of the bank is Rs.20,250 [1,00,000 × 3 ×
9% × 9/12], which exceeds the threshold limit of ` 10,000. Since ABC Bank has adopted
CBS, the aggregate interest credited/paid by all branches has to be considered. Since the
aggregate interest of Rs.20,250 exceeds the threshold limit of Rs.10,000, tax has to be
deducted@10% under section 194A.
Tax to be deducted = Rs.20,250 x 10% = Rs.2,025
. (ii) In this case, since the programme is produced by the production house ABC Ltd. as per the
specifications given by Sky TV, a television channel, and the copyright is also transferred to
the television channel, the same falls within the scope of definition of the term ‘work’ under
section 194C. Therefore, the payment of ` 70 lakhs made by Sky TV to the production
house ABC Ltd. would be subject to tax deduction at source under section 194C. Under
section 194C, tax is deductible at the time of credit or payment, whichever is earlier @ 2% if
the payment is made to a person other than an individual or HUF.
Therefore, tax to be deducted = Rs.70 lakhs x 2% = Rs.1,40,000
(b) Section 64(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961 provides for the clubbing of income in the hands of the
individual, if the income earned is from the assets transferred directly or indirectly to the spouse
of the individual, otherwise than for adequate consideration. In this case Mrs. Kapoor received a
gift of Rs.2,00,000 from her husband which she invested in her business. The income to be
clubbed in the hands of Mrs. Kapoor’s husband for A.Y.2019-20 is computed as under:
Particulars Mrs. Kapoor’s Capital

Therefore, the income to be clubbed in the hands of Mrs. Kapoor’s husband for A.Y.2019 -20 is
Rs.1,20,000.

(2) Loss from toy business(Rs.1,30,000 - Rs.40,000 - Rs.90,000) Nil
(3) Loss from specified business covered by section 35AD 20,000
Notes:
(i) As per section 71(3A), loss from house property can be set-off against any other head of
income to the extent of Rs.2,00,000 only.
As per section 71B, balance loss not set-off can be carried forward to the next year for set-
off against income from house property of that year. It can be carried forward for a
maximum of eight assessment years i.e., upto A.Y. 2027-28, in this case.
(ii) Loss from specified business covered by section 35AD can be set-off only against profits
and gains of any other specified business. Therefore, such loss cannot be set off against
any other income. If loss cannot be so set-off, the same has to be carried forward to the
subsequent year for set-off against profits and gains of any specified business, if any, in that
year. As per section 73A(2), such loss can be carried forward indefinitely for set-off against
profits of any specified business.
(iii) Business loss cannot be set off against salary income. However, business loss of Rs.90,000
(Rs.1,30,000 – Rs.40,000 set-off against income from speculation business) can be set-off
against long-term capital gains from sale of urban land. Consequently, the taxable long-term
capital gains would be Rs.50,000.

(iv) Loss from card games can neither be set off against any other income, nor can it be carried
forward.
(v) For providing deduction under Chapter VI-A, gross total income has to be reduced by the
amount of long-term capital gains and casual income. Therefore, the deduction under
section 80C in respect of life insurance premium paid has to be restricted to Rs.20,000 [i.e.,
Gross Total Income of Rs.1,15,000 – Rs.50,000 (LTCG) – Rs.45,000 (Casual income)].
(vi) Income from betting is chargeable at a flat rate of 30% under section 115BB and no
expenditure or allowance can be allowed as deduction from such income, nor can any loss
be set-off against such income.

(b) A registered person, whose aggregate turnover in the preceding financial year did not exceed
Rs. 1 crore in a State/UT [Rs. 75 lakh in case of Special Category States except Jammu and
Kashmir and Uttarakhand], may opt for composition scheme.
However, he shall not be eligible to opt for composition scheme if, inter alia, he is engaged in the
supply of services other than restaurant services.
(1) In the given case, since Mr. Guneet is engaged in the supply of consultancy service, he is not
eligible to opt for composition scheme irrespective of its turnover in the preceding financial year.
(2) No, it is not possible for Mr. Guneet to opt for composition scheme only for showroom as all
the registrations under the same PAN have to opt for composition scheme and since the
supply of consultancy service is ineligible for composition scheme, supply of readymade
garments too becomes ineligible for composition scheme.
3. (a) As per section 25 read with CGST Rules, 2017, where an applicant submits application for
registration within 30 days from the date he becomes liable to registration, effective date of
registration is the date on which he becomes liable to registration. Since, Priyank Services Ltd.’s
turnover exceeded Rs. 20 lakh on 12th August, it became liable to registration on same day.
Further, it applied for registration within 30 days of so becoming liable to registration, the effective
date of registration is the date on which he becomes liable to registration, i.e. 12th August.
As per section 31 read with CGST Rules, 2017, every registered person who has been granted
registration with effect from a date earlier than the date of issuance of certificate of registration to him,
may issue Revised T ax Invoices. Revised Tax Invoices shall be issued within 1 month from the date of
issuance of certificate of registration. Revised Tax Invoices shall be issued within 1 month from the
date of issuance of registration in respect of taxable supplies effected during the period starting from
the effective date of registration till the date of issuance of certificate of registration.
Therefore, in the given case, Priyank Services Ltd. has to issue the Revised Tax Invoices in respect
of taxable supplies effected during the period starting from the effective date of registration
(12th August) till the date of issuance of certificate of registration (6 th September) within 1 month
from the date of issuance of certificate of registration, i.e. on or before 6 th October.

(b) (i) Every supplier becomes liable to registration if his turnover exceeds Rs. 20 lakh [in a State/UT
other than Special Category States except Jammu and Kashmir] in a financial year [Section
22 of CGST Act, 2017]. Since in the given case, the turnover of Grand Industries exceeded
Rs. 20 lakh on 1st September, it becomes liable to registration on said date.
Further, since the application for registration has been submitted within 30 days from such
date, the registration shall be effective from the date on which the person becomes liable to
registration [Section 25 read with rule 10 of the Chapter III - Registration of CGST Rules,
2017]. Therefore, the effective date of registration is 1st September.
(ii) Since in the given case, the turnover of Mangal Teleservices exceeds Rs. 20 lakh on
25th October, it becomes liable to registration on said date.
Further, since the application for registration has been submitted after 30 days from the date
such person becomes liable to registration, the registration shall be effective from the date of
grant of registration. Therefore, the effective date of registration is 5th December.

(v) As per Schedule-II of CGST Act, 2017, transfer of title in goods under an agreement which
stipulates that property shall pass at a future date would be treated as supply of goods.

are as under–
(a) Person engaged exclusively in supplying goods/services/both that are wholly exempt from tax.
(b) Person engaged exclusively in supplying goods/services/both that are not liable to tax.
(c) Agriculturist to the extent of supply of produce out of cultivation of land.

MOCK TEST PAPER - 2
INTERMEDIATE (NEW): GROUP – II
PAPER – 5: ADVANCED ACCOUNTING
1. (a) As per AS 9 “Revenue Recognition”, “where the ability to assess the ultimate collection with
reasonable certainty is lacking at the time of raising any claim, the revenue recognition is
postponed to the extent of uncertainty involved. In such cases, the revenue is recognized only
when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made”. In this case, the company
never realized interest for the delayed payments made by the agent. Hence, based on the past
experience, the realization of interest for the delayed payments by the agent is very much
uncertain. The interest should be recognized only if the ultimate collection is certain. Therefore,
the interest income of Rs. 5 lakhs should not be recognized in the books for the year ended 31 st
March, 2017. Thus the contention of accountant is incorrect. However, if the agents have agreed
to pay the amount of interest and there is an element of certainty associated with these receipts,
the accountant is correct regarding booking of Rs. 5 lakhs as interest amount.
(b) (i) Since the company is not appealing against the addition of Rs. 0.66 crore the same should
be provided for in its accounts for the year ended on 31st March, 2017. The amount paid
under protest can be kept under the heading ‘Loans & Advances’ and disclosed along with
the contingent liability of Rs. 2.10 crore.
(ii) The arrears for the period from June, 2016 to March, 2017 are required to be provided for in
the accounts of the company for the year ended on 31st March, 2017.
(c) As per AS 26 ‘Intangibles Assets’, the amortization method used should reflect the pattern in which
economic benefits are consumed by the enterprise. If pattern cannot be determined reliably, then
straight-line method should be used.
In the instant case, the pattern of economic benefit in the form of net operating cash flow vis-à-vis
production is determined reliably. A Ltd. should amortize the license fee of Rs. 200 lakhs as under:
Year Net operating Cash in Ratio Amortize amount (Rs. in lakhs)
flow (Rs.)
1 900 0.03 6
2 1,800 0.06 12

9 3,200 0.12 24
10 3,200 0.11 (bal.) 22
27,400 1.00 200

(d) As per AS 19 “Leases”, the lessee should recognize the lease as an asset and a liability at the
inception of a finance lease. Such recognition should be at an amount equal to the fair value of the
leased asset at the inception of lease. However, if the fair value of the leased asset exceeds the
present value of minimum lease payment from the standpoint of the lessee, the amount recorded
as an asset and liability should be the present value of minimum lease payments from the
standpoint of the lessee.
Value of machinery
In the given case, fair value of the machinery is Rs. 10, 00,000 and the net present value of
minimum lease payments is Rs. 10, 07,020 (Refer working Note). As the present value of the
machine is more than the fair value of the machine, the machine and the corresponding liability will
be recorded at value of Rs.10,00,000.

The purchase consideration was discharged in the form of three equity shares of P Ltd. for every
two equity shares held in V Ltd.
Purchase consideration = Rs. 6,000 lacs × 3 = Rs. 9,000 lacs.

(b) Section 326 of the Companies Act, 2013 talks about the overriding preferential payments to be
made from the amount realized from the assets to be distributed to various kind of creditors.
According to the proviso given in the section 326 the security of every secured creditor should be
deemed to be subject to a paripassu change in favor of the workman to the extent of their portion.
Amount Realied X Workman′ s Dues
Workman′ s Share to Secured Asset =
Workman′ s Dues + Secured Loan
Workman′ s Share to Secured Asset
4,00,00,000 X 1,25,00,000
=
1,25,00,000 + 5,00,00,000

4,00,00,000 X
5
Workman′ s Share to Secured Assets = 80,00,000

Amount available to secured creditor is Rs. 400 Lakhs – 80 Lakhs = 320 Lakhs
Hence, no amount is available for payment of government dues and unsecured creditors.

6. (a) As per AS 24 ‘Discontinuing Operations’, a discontinuing operation is a component of an enterprise:
(i) that the enterprise, pursuant to a single plan, is:
(1) disposing of substantially in its entirety,
(2) disposing of piecemeal, or
(3) terminating through abandonment; and
(ii) that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations; and
(iii) that can be distinguished operationally and for financial reporting purposes.
As per provisions of the standard, business enterprises frequently close facilities, abandon
products or even product lines, and change the size of their work force in response to market
forces. While those kinds of terminations generally are not, in themselves, discontinuing
operations, they can occur in connection with a discontinuing operation. Examples of activities that
do not necessarily satisfy criterion of discontinuing operation are gradual or evolutionary phasing
out of a product line or class of service, discontinuing, even if relatively abruptly, several products
within an ongoing line of business;
In the given case, the company has enforced a gradual enforcement of change in product line and
does not represent a separate major line of business and hence is not a discontinued operation.
If it were a discontinuing operation, the initial disclosure event is the occurrence of one of the
following, whichever occurs earlier:
(i) the enterprise has entered into a binding sale agreem ent for substantially all of the assets
attributable to the discontinuing operation; or
(ii) the enterprises board of directors or similar governing body has both approved a detailed, formal
plan for discontinuance and made an announcement of the plan.
(b) Eight Schedule of the SEBI (Mutual Fund) Regulations, 1996 states the Investment Valuation
Norms. NAV of a scheme is determined by dividing the net assets of the scheme by the number
of outstanding units on the valuation date.
Traded Securities:-
(i) The securities shall be valued at the last quoted closing price on the recognized stock
exchange.
(ii) When the securities are traded on more than one recognised stock exchange, the securities
shall be valued at the last quoted closing price on the stoc k exchange where the security is
principally traded. It would be left to the asset management company to select the appropriate
stock exchange, but the reasons for the selection should be recorded in writing. There should
however be no objection for all scrips being valued at the prices quoted on the stock exchange
where a majority in value of the investments is principally traded.
(iii) Once a stock exchange has been selected for valuation of a particular security, reasons for
change of the exchange shall be recorded in writing by the asset management company.
(iv) When on a particular valuation day, a security has not been traded on the selected stock
exchange, the value at which it is traded on another stock exchange may be used.
(v) When a security is not traded on any stock exchange on a particular valuation day, the value
at which it was traded on the selected stock exchange or any other stock exchange, as the
case may be, on the earliest previous day may be used provided such date is not more than
sixty days prior to the valuation date.

Division B - Descriptive Answers
1. (i) Incorrect: The objective of audit is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. In auditing, reasonable assurance can
be given which is high level assurance but not absolute assurance. The auditor is not expected to,
and cannot, reduce audit risk to zero and cannot therefore obtain absolute assurance that the
financial statements are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error. This is because
there are inherent limitations of an audit.
1

(ii) Correct. Engagement partner refers to the partner or other person in the firm who is responsible
for the audit engagement and its performance, and for the auditor’s report that is issued on behalf
of the firm, and who, where required, has the appropriate authority from a professional, legal or
regulatory body.
(iii) Incorrect: It is important, both for the auditor and client, that each party should be clear about the
nature of the engagement. It must be reduced to writing and should exactly specify the scope of
the work.
(iv) Incorrect: As per section 138, the internal auditor shall either be a chartered accountant or a cost
accountant (whether engaged in practice or not), or such other professional as may be decided by
the Board to conduct internal audit of the functions and activities of the companies. The internal
auditor may or may not be an employee of the company.
(v) Incorrect: As per section 140(2) the auditor who has resigned from the company shall file within
a period of 30 days from the date of resignation, a statement in the prescribed Form with the
company and the Registrar, and in case of the companies referred to in section 139(5) i.e.
Government company, the auditor shall also file such statement with the Comptroller and Auditor -
General of India, indicating the reasons and other facts as may be relevant with regard to his
resignation. In this case, the PQR & Co., was also required to file prescribed Form with C & AG of
India but it did not file the same. Therefore, it did not comply with the provisions of the Companies
Act, 2013.
(vi) Incorrect: Communicating key audit matters in the auditor’s report is not a substitute for
disclosures in the financial statements that the applicable Financial reporting framework requires
management to make, or that are otherwise necessary to achieve fair presentation.
(vii) Correct: The decision whether to use a statistical or non-statistical sampling approach is a matter
for the auditor’s judgment; however, sample size is not a valid criterion to distinguish between
statistical and non-statistical approaches.
Whatever may be the approach non-statistical or statistical sampling, the sample must be representative.
This means that it must be closely similar to the whole population although not necessarily exactly the
same. The sample must be large enough to provide statistically meaningful results.
(viii) Correct: The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the
risk of not detecting one resulting from error. This is because fraud may involve sophisticated and
carefully organized schemes designed to conceal it, such as forgery, deliberate failure to record
transactions, or intentional misrepresentations being made to the auditor. Such attempts at
concealment may be even more difficult to detect when accompanied by collusion
2. (a) Ethical Requirements Relating to an Audit of Financial Statements: The auditor shall comply with
relevant ethical requirements, including those pertaining to independence, relating to financial
statement audit engagements. Relevant ethical requirements ordinarily comprise the Code of
Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) related to an audit of financial statements.
The Code establishes the following as the fundamental principles of professional ethics relevant to
the auditor when conducting an audit of financial statements :
(a) Integrity;
(b) Objectivity;
(c) Professional competence and due care;
(d) Confidentiality; and
(e) Professional behavior.
(b) Familiarity threats are self-evident, and occur when auditors form relationships with the client
where they end up being too sympathetic to the client’s interests. This can occur in many ways:
2

(i) close relative of the audit team working in a senior position in the client company,
(ii) former partner of the audit firm being a director or senior employee of the client,
(iii) long association between specific auditors and their specific client counterparts, and
(iv) acceptance of significant gifts or hospitality from the client company, its directors or
employees.
(c) Development of an Overall Plan: The auditor should consider the following matters in developing
his overall plan for the expected scope and conduct of the audit-
➢ The terms of his engagement and any statutory responsibilities.
➢ The nature and timing of reports or other communication.
➢ The applicable legal or statutory requirements.
➢ The accounting policies adopted by the client and changes in those policies.
➢ The effect of new accounting or auditing pronouncem ents on the audit.
➢ The identification of significant audit areas.
➢ The setting of materiality levels for audit purposes.
➢ Conditions requiring special attention, such as the possibility of material error or fraud or the
involvement of parties in whom directors or persons who are substantial owners of the entity
are interested and with whom transactions are likely.
➢ The degree of reliance he expects to be able to place on accounting system and internal
control.
➢ Possible rotation of emphasis on specific audit areas.
➢ The nature and extent of audit evidence to be obtained.
➢ The work of internal auditors and the extent of their involvement, if any, in the audit.
➢ The involvement of other auditors in the audit of subsidiaries or branches of the client.
➢ The involvement of experts.
➢ The allocation of work to be undertaken between joint auditors and the procedures for its
control and review.
Establishing and coordinating staffing requirements.
(d) Unqualified Opinion:
1. An unqualified opinion should be expressed when the auditor concludes that the financial
statements give a true and fair view in accordance with the financial reporting framework used
for the preparation and presentation of the financial statements.
2. An unqualified opinion indicates, implicitly, that any changes in the accounting principles or in the
method of their application, and the effects thereof, have been properly determined and disclosed
in the financial statements.
3. An unqualified opinion also indicates that:
(i) the financial statements have been prepared using the generally accepted accounting
principles, which have been consistently applied;
(ii) the financial statements comply with relevant statutory requirements and regulations;
and
(iii) there is adequate disclosure of all material matters relevant to the proper presentation
of the financial information, subject to statutory requirements, where applicable.
3

3. (a) (i) The auditor is required to report as per clause xiv of paragraph 3 of CARO 2016, whether
the company has made any preferential allotment or private placement of shares or fully or
partly convertible debentures during the year under review and if so, as to whether the
requirement of section 42 of the Companies Act, 2013 have been complied with and the
amount raised have been used for the purposes for which the funds were raised. If not, provide
the details in respect of the amount involved and nature of non-compliance;
(ii) It is duty of the auditor to report as per clause ix of paragraph 3 of CARO 2016, whether
moneys raised by way of initial public offer or further public offer (including debt instruments) and
term loans were applied for the purposes for which those are raised. If not, the details together
with delays or default and subsequent rectification, if any, as may be applicable, be reported.
(b) Limitations of Internal Control:
(i) Internal control can provide only reasonable assurance: Internal control, no matter how
effective, can provide an entity with only reasonable assurance about achieving the entity’s
financial reporting objectives. The likelihood of their achievement is affected by inherent
limitations of internal control.
(ii) Human judgment in decision-making: Realities that human judgment in decision-making
can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human error.
(iii) Lack of understanding the purpose: Equally, the operation of a control may not be effective,
such as where information produced for the purposes of internal control (for example, an
exception report) is not effectively used because the individual responsible for reviewing the
information does not understand its purpose or fails to take appropriate action.
(iv) Collusion among People: Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the collusion of two
or more people or inappropriate management override of internal control. For example,
management may enter into side agreements with customers that alter the terms and
conditions of the entity’s standard sales contracts, which may result in improper revenue
recognition. Also, edit checks in a software program that are designed to identify and report
transactions that exceed specified credit limits may be overridden or disabled.
(v) Judgements by Management: Further, in designing and implementing controls,
management may make judgments on the nature and extent of the controls it chooses to
implement, and the nature and extent of the risks it chooses to assume.
(vi) Limitations in case of Small Entities: Smaller entities often have fewer employees due to
which segregation of duties is not practicable. However, in a small owner-managed entity, the
owner-manager may be able to exercise more effective oversight than in a larger entity. This
oversight may compensate for the generally more limited opportunities for segregation of
duties.
On the other hand, the owner-manager may be more able to override controls because the
system of internal control is less structured. This is taken into account by the auditor when
identifying the risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
(c) Ceiling on number of Audits:
1. Section 141(3)(g) of the Companies Act, 2013 prescribes that a person shall not be eligible
for appointment as an auditor of a company namely – a person who is in full time employment
elsewhere or a person or a partner of a firm holding appointment as its auditor, if such person
or partner is at the date of such appointment or reappointment holding appointment as auditor
of more than twenty companies other than one person companies, dormant com panies, small
companies and private companies having paid-up share capital less than Rs. 100 crore.
2. In the case of a firm of auditors, it has been further provided that ‘specified number of
companies’ shall be construed as the number of companies spec ified for every partner of the
4

firm who is not in full time employment elsewhere. This limit of 20 company audits is per
person. In the case of an audit firm having 3 partners, the overall ceiling will be 3 × 20 = 60
company audits.
3. Sometimes, a chartered accountant is a partner in a number of auditing firms. In such a case,
all the firms in which he is partner or proprietor will be together entitled to 20 company audits
on his account. Subject to the overall ceiling of company audits, how they alloca te the 20
audits between themselves is their affairs.
(d) Risk Factors while applying Sampling Techniques: As per SA 530 “Audit Sampling”, sampling
risk is the risk that the auditor’s conclusion based on a sample may be different from the conclusion
if the entire population were subjected to the same audit procedure. Sampling risk can lead to two
types of erroneous conclusions-
(i) In the case of a test of controls, that controls are more effective than they actually are, or in
the case of tests of details, that a material misstatement does not exists when in fact it does.
The auditor is primarily concerned with this type of erroneous conclusion because it affects
audit effectiveness and is more likely to lead to an inappropriate audit opinion.
(ii) In the case of test of controls, the controls are less effective than they actually are, or in the
case of tests of details, that a material misstatements exists when in fact it does not. This type
of erroneous conclusion affects audit efficiency as it would usually lead to additional work to
establish that initial conclusions were incorrect.
4. (a) Right of Access to secretarial records and correspondence:
1. Section 143(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 grants powers to the auditor that every auditor
has a right of access, at all times, to the books of account and vouchers of the company kept
at Registered or Head Office, branches and subsidiaries in the case of a Holding Company
for conducting the audit.
2. Further, he is also entitled to require from the officers of the company such information and
explanations which he considers necessary for the proper performance of his duties as
Auditor. Therefore, he has a statutory right to inspect the secretarial records and
correspondence.
3. In order to verify actions of the company and to vouch and verify some of the transactions of
the company, it is necessary for the auditor to refer to the decisions of the shareholders and/or
the directors of the company. It is, therefore, essential for the auditor to refer to the secretarial
records and correspondence which also includes Minute book. In the absence of the same,
the auditor may not be able to vouch/verify certain transactions of the company.
4. The refusal to provide access to secretarial records and correspondence shall constitute
limitation of scope as far as the auditor’s duties are concerned.
5. The auditor may examine whether by performing alternative procedures, the auditor can
substantiate the assertions or else he shall have to either qualify the report or give a disclaimer
of opinion.
(b) Substantive Analytical Procedure: Substantive analytical procedures are generally more
applicable to large volumes of transactions that tend to be predictable over time. The application
of planned analytical procedures is based on the expectation that relationships among data exist
and continue in the absence of known conditions to the contrary. However, the suitability of a
particular analytical procedure will depend upon the auditor’s assessment of how effective it will be
in detecting a misstatement that, individually or when aggregated with other misstatements, may
cause the financial statements to be materially misstated.
In some cases, even an unsophisticated predictive model may be effective as an analytical
procedure. For example, where an entity has a known number of employees at fixed rates of pay
5

throughout the period, it may be possible for the auditor to use this data to estimate the total payroll
costs for the period with a high degree of accuracy, thereby providing audit evidence for a
significant item in the financial statements and reducing the need to perform tests of details on the
payroll. The use of widely recognised trade ratios (such as profit margins for different types of retail
entities) can often be used effectively in substantive analytical procedures to provide evidence to
support the reasonableness of recorded amounts.
(c) Problematic or unusual relationships between the auditor and management, including:
1. Denial of access to records, facilities, certain employees, customers, vendors, or others from
whom audit evidence might be sought.
2. Undue time pressures imposed by management to resolve complex or contentious issues.
3. Complaints by management about the conduct of the audit or management intim idation of
engagement team members, particularly in connection with the auditor’s critical assessment
of audit evidence or in the resolution of potential disagreements with management.
4. Unusual delays by the entity in providing requested information.
5. Unwillingness to facilitate auditor access to key electronic files for testing through the use of
computer-assisted audit techniques.
6. Denial of access to key IT operations staff and facilities, including security, operations, and
systems development personnel.
7. An unwillingness to add or revise disclosures in the financial statements to make them more
complete and understandable.
8. An unwillingness to address identified deficiencies in internal control on a timely basis.
9. Unwillingness by management to permit the auditor to meet privately with those charged with
governance
10. Accounting Policy that appears to be variance with industry norms
11. Frequent changes in accounting estimates that do not appear to result from changed
circumstances
12. Tolerance of variations in the entity’s code of conduct
5. (a) Form, Content and Extent of Audit Documentation: Working papers should record the audit
plan, nature, timing and extent of auditing procedures performed, and the conclusions drawn from
the evidence obtained.
The form, content and extent of working papers depend on factors such as:
 The size and complexity of the entity.
 The nature of the audit procedures to be performed.
 The identified risks of material misstatement.
 The significance of the audit evidence obtained.
 The nature and extent of exceptions identified.
 The need to document a conclusion or the basis for a conclusion not readily determinable
from the documentation of the work performed or audit evidence obtained.
 The audit methodology and tools used.
(b) Advantages of Audit of Accounts of a Partnership: On broad considerations, the advantages
of audit of accounts of a partnership could be stated as follows:
(1) Audited accounts provide a convenient and reliable means of settling accounts between the
partners and, thereby, the possibility of occurrence of a dispute among them is mitigated. On
6

this consideration, it is usually provided in and accepted by the partners, shall be binding
upon them, unless some manifest error is brought to light within a specified period subsequent
to the accounts having been signed.
(2) On the retirement or death of a partner, audited ac counts, which have been accepted by the
partners, constitute a reliable evidence for computing the amounts due to the retiring partner
or to the representative of the deceased partner in respect of his share of capital, profits and
goodwill.
(3) The accounts of a partnership, which have been audited, are generally accepted by the
Income Tax Department as the basis for computing the assessable income of the partners.
(4) Audited statement of accounts are relied upon by the banks when advancing loans, as well
as by prospective purchasers of the business, as evidence of the profitability of the concern
and its financial position.
(5) Audited statements of account can be helpful in the negotiations to admit a person as a
partner, especially when they are available for a number of past years.
(6) An audit is an effective safeguard against any undue advantage being taken by a working
partner or partners especially in the case of those partners who are not actively associated
with the working of the firm.
(c) (i) Assertions about transactions and events for the period relating to fixed assets :
(1) Occurrence—transactions and events relating to fixed assets have been recorded, have
occurred and pertain to the entity.
(2) Completeness—all transactions and events relating to fixed assets that should have
been recorded have been recorded.
(3) Accuracy—amounts and other data relating to recorded transactions and events have
been recorded appropriately.
(4) Cut-off—transactions and events have been recorded in the correct accounting period.
(5) Classification—transactions and events have been recorded in the proper accounts.
(ii) The specific assertions are as follows:
(1) the firm owns the plant and machinery;
(2) the historical cost of plant and machinery is Rs. 4 lacs;
(3) the plant and machinery physically exists;
(4) the asset is being utilised in the business of the company productively;
(5) total charge of depreciation on this asset is Rs. 1,66,000 to date on which Rs. 26,000
relates to the year in respect of which the accounts are drawn up; and
(6) the amount of depreciation has been calculated on recognised basis and the calculation
is correct
6. (a) In today’s digital age when companies rely on more and more on IT systems and networks
to operate business, the amount of data and information that exists in these systems is enormous.
A famous businessman recently said, “Data is the new Oil”.
The combination of processes, tools and techniques that are used to tap vast amounts of electronic
data to obtain meaningful information is called data analytics. While it is true that companies can
benefit immensely from the use of data analytics in terms of increased profitability, better customer
service, gaining competitive advantage, more efficient operations, etc., even auditors can make
use of similar tools and techniques in the audit process and obtain good results. The tools and

techniques that auditors use in applying the principles of data analytics are known as Computer
Assisted Auditing Techniques or CAATs in short.
Data analytics can be used in testing of electronic records and data residing in IT systems using
spreadsheets and specialised audit tools viz., IDEA and ACL to perform the following,
• check completeness of data and population that is used in either test of controls or
substantive audit tests
• selection of audit samples – random sampling, systematic sampling
• re-computation of balances – reconstruction of trial balance from transaction data
• reperformance of mathematical calculations – depreciation, bank interest calculation.
• analysis of journal entries as required by SA 240
• fraud investigation
• evaluating impact of control deficiencies
(b) Evaluation of Internal Controls over Advances: The auditor should examine the efficacy of
various internal controls over advances to determine the nature, timing and extent of his
substantive procedures. In general, the internal controls over advances should include, inter alia,
the following:
 The bank should make an advance only after satisfying itself as to the credit worthiness of
the borrower and after obtaining sanction from the appropriate authorities of the bank.
 All the necessary documents (e.g., agreements, demand promissory notes, letters of
hypothecation, etc.) should be executed by the parties before advances are made.
 The compliance with the terms of sanction and end use of funds should be ensured.
 Sufficient margin as specified in the sanction letter should be kept against securities taken so
as to cover for any decline in the value thereof. The availability of sufficient margin needs to
be ensured at regular intervals.
 If the securities taken are in the nature of shares, debentures, etc., the ownership of the same
should be transferred in the name of the bank and the effective control of such securities be
retained as a part of documentation.
 All securities requiring registration should be registered in the name of the bank or otherwise
accompanied by documents sufficient to give title to the bank.
 In the case of goods in the possession of the bank, contents of the packages should be test
checked at the time of receipt. The godowns should be frequently inspected by responsible
officers of the branch concerned, in addition to the inspectors of the bank.
 Drawing Power Register should be updated every month to record the value of securities
hypothecated. These entries should be checked by an officer.
 The accounts should be kept within both the drawing power and the sanctioned limit.
 All the accounts which exceed the sanctioned limit or drawing power or are otherwise irregular
should be brought to the notice of the controlling authority regularly.
 The operation of each advance account should be reviewed at least once a year, and at more
frequent intervals in the case of large advances.
(c) Responsibilities for the Financial Statements: The auditor’s report shall include a section with
a heading “Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements.”
SA 200 explains the premise, relating to the responsibilities of management and, where
appropriate, those charged with governance, on which an audit in accordance with SAs is
conducted. Management and, where appropriate, those charged with governance accept
8

responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. Management also accepts
responsibility for such internal control as it determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The
description of management’s responsibilities in the auditor’s report includes reference to both
responsibilities as it helps to explain to users the premise on which an audit is conducted.
This section of the auditor’s report shall describe management’s responsibility for:
(a) Preparing the financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting
framework, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable
the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error;[because of the possible effects of fraud on other aspects of the audit, materiality
does not apply to management’s acknowledgement regarding its responsibility for the design,
implementation, and maintenance of internal control (or for establishing and maintaining
effective internal control over financial reporting) to prevent and detect fraud.] and
(b) Assessing the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and whether the use of the going
concern basis of accounting is appropriate as well as disclosing, if applicable, matters relating to
going concern. The explanation of management’s responsibility for this assessment shall include
a description of when the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.
(d) Since an Intangible Asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset, without physical substance,
for establishing the existence of such assets, the auditor should verify whether such intangible
asset is in active use in the production or supply of goods or services, for rental to others, or for
administrative purposes.
Example- for verifying the existence of software, the auditor should verify whether such software
is in active use by the entity and for the purpose, the auditor should verify the sale of related
services/ goods during the period under audit, in which such software has been used.
Example- For verifying the existence of design/ drawings, the auditor should verify the production
data to establish if such products for which the design/ drawings were purchased, are being
produced and sold by the entity.
In case any intangible asset is not in active use, deletion should have been recorded in the books
of account post approvals by the entity’s management and amortization charge should have ceased
to be charged beyond the date of deletion.
(e) Liabilities in addition to borrowings (discussed above), include trade payables and other
current liabilities, deferred payment credits and provisions. Verification of liabilities is as important
as that of assets, considering if any liability is omitted (or understated) or overstated, the Balance
Sheet would not show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the entity.
Further, a liability is classified as current if it satisfies any of the following criteria:
▪ It is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle
▪ It is held primarily for the purpose of being traded
▪ It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period
▪ The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least
twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the
counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments does not affect its
classification.

DESCRIPTIVE QUESTIONS
1. (a) Data Warehouse: Usually this is a module that can be accessed by an organizations customers,
suppliers and employees. Data warehouse is a repository of an organization’s electronically stored data.
Data warehouses are designed to facilitate reporting and analysis. This classic definition of the data
warehouse focuses on data storage. However, the means to retrieve and analyze data, to extract,
transform and load data, and to manage the data dictionary are also considered essential components
of a data warehousing system. An expanded definition for data warehousing includes business
intelligence tools, tools to extract, transform, and load data into the repository, and tools to manage and
retrieve metadata. In contrast to data warehouses are operational systems which perform day-to-day
transaction processing. The process of transforming data into information and making it available to the
user in a timely enough manner to make a difference is known as data warehousing.
(b) Money Laundering is the process by which the proceeds of the crime and the true ownership of
those proceeds are concealed or made opaque so that the proceeds appear to come from a
legitimate source. The objective in money laundering is to conceal the existence, illegal source, or
illegal application of income to make it appear legitimate. Money laundering is commonly used by
criminals to make “dirty” money appear “clean” or the profits of criminal activities are made to
appear legitimate.
2. (a) Validation Controls: Input validation controls are intended to detect errors in the transaction data
before the data are processed. There are three levels of input validation controls:
• Field Interrogation: It involves programmed procedures that examine the characters of the
data in the field. The following are some common types of field interrogation. Various field
checks used to ensure data integrity have been described below:
o Limit Check: This is a basic test for data processing accuracy and may be applied to
both the input and output data. The field is checked by the program against predefined
limits to ensure that no input/output error has occurred or at least no input error
exceeding certain pre-established limits has occurred.
o Picture Checks: These checks against entry into processing of incorrect/invalid
characters.
1

o Valid Code Checks: Checks are made against predetermined transactions codes, tables
or order data to ensure that input data are valid. The predetermined codes or tables may
either be embedded in the programs or stored in (direct access) files.
o Check Digit: One method for detecting data coding errors is a check digit. A check digit is
a control digit (or digits) added to the code when it is originally assigned that allows the
integrity of the code to be established during subsequent processing. The check digit can
be located anywhere in the code, as a prefix, a suffix, or embedded someplace in the
middle.
o Arithmetic Checks: Simple Arithmetic is performed in different ways to validate the result
of other computations of the values of selected data fields.
o Cross Checks: may be employed to verify fields appearing in different files to see that the
result tally.
• Record Interrogation: These are discussed as follows:
o Reasonableness Check: Whether the value specified in a field is reasonable for that
particular field?
o Valid Sign: The contents of one field may determine which sign is valid for a numeric field.
o Sequence Check: If physical records follow a required order matching with logical records.
• File Interrogation: These are discussed as follows:
o Version Usage: Proper version of a file should be used for processing the data correctly.
In this regard, it should be ensured that only the most current file be processed.
o Internal and External Labeling: Labeling of storage media is important to ensure that the
proper files are loaded for process. Where there is a manual process for loading files,
external labeling is important to ensure that the correct file is being processed. Where
there is an automated tape loader system, internal labeling is more important.
o Data File Security: Unauthorized access to data file should be prevented, to ensure its
confidentiality, integrity and availability. These controls ensure that the correct file is used
for processing.
o Before and after Image and Logging: The application may provide for reporting of before
and after images of transactions. These images combined with the logging of events
enable re-constructing the data file back to its last state of integrity, after which the
application can ensure that the incremental transactions/events are rolled back or forward.
o File Updating and Maintenance Authorization: Sufficient controls should exist for file
updating and maintenance to ensure that stored data are protected. The access restrictions
may either be part of the application program or of the overall system access restrictions.
o Parity Check: When programs or data are transmitted, additional controls are needed.
Transmission errors are controlled primarily by detecting errors or correcting codes.
(b) ERM provides enhanced capability to do the following:
 Align risk appetite and strategy: Risk appetite is the degree of risk, on a broad-based level
that an enterprise (any type of entity) is willing to accept in pursuit of its goals. Management
considers the entity’s risk appetite first in evaluating strategic alternatives, then in setting
objectives aligned with the selected strategy and in developing mechanisms to manage the
related risks.  
 Link growth, risk and return: Entities accept risk as part of value creation and preservation,
and they expect return commensurate with the risk. ERM provides an enhanced ability to
identify and assess risks, and establish acceptable levels of risk relative to growth and return
objectives.

 Enhance risk response decisions: ERM provides the rigor to identify and select among
alternative risk responses – risk avoidance, reduction, sharing and acceptance. ERM provides
methodologies and techniques for making these decisions.
 Minimize operational surprises and losses: Entities have enhanced capability to identify
potential events, assess risk and establish responses, thereby reducing the occurrence of
surprises and related costs or losses.
 Identify and manage cross-enterprise risks: Every entity faces a myriad of risks affecting
different parts of the enterprise. Management needs to not only manage individual risks, but
also understand interrelated impacts.  
 Provide integrated responses to multiple risks: Business processes carry many inherent
risks, and ERM enables integrated solutions for managing the risks.  
 Seize opportunities: Management considers potential events, rather than just risks, and by
considering a full range of events, management gains an understanding of how certain events
represent opportunities.  
 Rationalize capital: More robust information on an entity’s total risk allows management to
more effectively assess overall capital needs and improve capital allocation.
3. (a) Business Intelligence (BI) is a technology-driven process for analysing data and presenting
actionable information to help corporate executives, business managers and other end users make
more informed business decisions.
• BI encompasses a wide variety of tools, that enable organizations to collect data from internal
systems and external sources, prepare it for analysis, develop and run queries against the
data, and create reports, dashboards and data visualizations to make the analytical results
available to corporate decision makers as well as operational workers.
• BI systems can also help companies identify market trends and spot business problems that
need to be addressed.
• Business Intelligence uses data from different sources and helps to finds answers to various
questions as shown on right hand side of above image.
• BI data can include historical information, as well as new data gathered from source systems
as it is generated, enabling BI analysis to support both strategic and tactical decision -making
processes.
• Initially, BI tools were primarily used by data analysts and other IT professionals who ran
analyses and produced reports with query results for business users. Increasingly, however,
business executives and workers are using BI software themselves, thanks partl y to the
development of self-service BI and data discovery tools.
• Business Intelligence combines a broad set of data analysis applications, including ad hoc
analysis and querying, enterprise reporting, Online Analytical Processing (OLAP), mobile BI,
real-time BI, operational BI, cloud and software as a service BI, open source BI, collaborative
BI and location intelligence.
• BI technology also includes data visualization software for designing charts and other info -
graphics, as well as tools for building BI dashboards and performance scorecards that display
visualized data on business metrics and key performance indicators in an easy -to-grasp way.
• BI applications can be bought separately from different vendors or as part of a unified BI
platform from a single vendor.
• BI programs can also incorporate forms of advanced analytics, such as data mining, predictive
analytics, text mining, statistical analysis and big data analytics. In many cases, though,
advanced analytics projects are conducted and managed by separate teams of data
scientists, statisticians, predictive modelers and other skilled analytics professionals, while BI
teams oversee more straightforward querying and analysis of business data.
3

• Business Intelligence data in terms of unstructured data, log files, sensor data and other types
of big data are stored in a data warehouse or smaller data marts that hold subsets of a
company’s information. Before it’s used in BI applications, raw data from different source
systems must be integrated, consolidated and cleansed using data integration and data
quality tools to ensure that users are analysing accurate and consistent information.
(b) Application Areas of Virtualization are as follows:
 Server Consolidation: Virtual machines are used to consolidate many physical servers into
fewer servers, which in turn host virtual machines. Each physical server is reflected as a
virtual machine “guest” residing on a virtual machine host system. This is also known as
“Physical-to-Virtual” or ‘P2V’ transformation.
 Disaster Recovery: Virtual machines can be used as “hot standby” environments for physical
production servers. This changes the classical “backup-and-restore” philosophy, by providing
backup images that can “boot” into live virtual machines, capable of taking over workload for
a production server experiencing an outage.
 Testing and Training: Virtualization can give root access to a virtual machine. This can be
very useful such as in kernel development and operating system courses.
 Portable Applications: Portable applications are needed when running an application from
a removable drive, without installing it on the system’s main disk drive. Virtualization can be
used to encapsulate the application with a redirection layer that stores temporary files,
windows registry entries and other state information in the application’s installation directory
and not within the system’s permanent file system.
 Portable Workspaces: Recent technologies have used virtualization to create portable
workspaces on devices like iPods and USB memory sticks.
4. (a) Risks and Controls around the CASA Process of Current and Savings Account (CASA) Process
are as follows:
Risk Key Controls
Credit Line setup is unauthorized The credit committee checks that the Financial Ratios,
the Net-worth, the Risk factors and its corresponding
and not in line with the banks policy.

configurations for those facilities in CBS.
(b) The characteristics of Hybrid Cloud are as follows:
 Scalable: The hybrid cloud has the property of public cloud with a private cloud environment
and as the public cloud is scalable; the hybrid cloud with the help of its public counterpart is
also scalable.
4

 Partially Secure: The private cloud is considered as secured and public cloud has high risk of
security breach. The hybrid cloud thus cannot be fully termed as secure but as partially secure.
 Stringent SLAs: Overall the SLAs are more stringent than the private cloud and might be as
per the public cloud service providers.
 Complex Cloud Management: Cloud management is complex as it involves more than one
type of deployment models and the number of users is high.
5. (a) The required flowchart is as below:

(b) The IS auditor needs to determine what events are recorded in access logs. The IS auditor needs
to understand the capabilities of the system being audited and determine if the right events are
being logged, or if logging is suppressed on events that should be logged.
 Centralized access logs: The IS auditor should determine if the organization’s access logs
are aggregated or if they are stored on individual systems.
 Access log protection: The auditor needs to determine if access logs can be altered,
destroyed, or attacked to cause the system to stop logging events. For especially high -value
and high-sensitivity environments, the IS auditor needs to determine if logs should be written
to digital media that is unalterable, such as optical WORM (write once read many) media.
 Access log review: The IS auditor needs to determine if there are policies, processes, or
procedures regarding access log review. The auditor should determine if access log reviews
take place, who performs them, how issues requiring attention are identified, and what actions
are taken when necessary.
 Access log retention: The IS auditor should determine how long access logs are retained
by the organization and if they are back up.

2. A core competence is a unique strength of an organization which may not be shared by others. Core
competencies are those capabilities that are critical to a business achieving competitive advantage. In
order to qualify as a core competence, the competency should differentiate the business from any other
similar businesses. A core competency for a firm is whatever it does is highly beneficial to the
organisation. ‘Speed’ is the leader on account of its ability to keep costs low. The cost advantage that
‘Value for Money’ has created for itself has allowed the retailer to price goods lower than competitors.
The core competency in this case is derived from the company’s ability to generate large sales volume,
allowing the company to remain profitable with low profit margin.
3. (a) The primary tasks of the strategic manager is conceptualizing, designing and executing company
strategies.
For this purpose, his tasks will include:
• Defining the mission and goals of the organization.
• Determining what businesses it should be in.
• Allocating resources among the different businesses.
• Formulating strategies.
• Implementing strategies.
• Providing leadership for the organization.
(b) Shree can opt for turnaround strategy which is a highly-targeted effort to return the company to
profitability and increase positive cash flows to a sufficient level. Organizations those have faced
a significant crisis that has negatively affected operations require turnaround strategy. Once
turnaround is successful the organization may turn to focus on growth.
Conditions for turnaround strategies
When firms are losing their grips over market, profits due to several internal and external factors,
and if they have to survive under the competitive environment they have to identify danger signals
as early as possible and undertake rectification steps immediately. These conditions may be, inter
alia cash flow problems, lower profit margins, high employee turnover and decline in market share,
capacity underutilization, low morale of employees, recessionary conditions, mismanagement, raw
material supply problems and so on.
Action plan for turnaround strategy
• Stage One – Assessment of current problems
• Stage Two – Analyze the situation and develop a strategic plan
• Stage Three – Implementing an emergency action plan
• Stage Four – Restructuring the business
• Stage Five – Returning to normal

4. (a) Decision making is a managerial process of selecting the best course of action out of several
alternative courses for the purpose of accomplishment of the organizational goals. Decisions may
be operational, i.e., which relate to general day-to-day operations. They may also be strategic in
nature.
A owner manager at the top level should concentrate on strategic decisions. These are higher level
decisions having organisation wide implications. The major dimensions of strategic decisions are
as follows:
 Strategic decisions require top-management involvement as they involve thinking in totality of
the organization.
 Strategic decisions involve significant commitment of organisational resources.
 Strategic decisions necessitate consideration of factors in the firm’s external environment.
 Strategic decisions are likely to have a significant impact on the long-term prosperity of the firm.
 Strategic decisions are future oriented.
 Strategic decisions usually have major multifunctional or multi-business consequences.
(b) The Ansoff’s product market growth matrix (proposed by Igor Ansoff) is a useful tool that helps
businesses decide their product and market growth strategy. With the use of this matrix a business
can get a fair idea about how its growth depends upon it markets in new or existing products in
both new and existing markets.
Companies should always be looking to the future. Businesses that use the Ansoff matrix can
determine the best strategy. The matrix can help them to decide how to do this by demonstrating
their options clearly, breaking them down into four strategies, viz., Market Penetration, Market
Development, Product Development, Diversification. Determining which of these is best for their
business will depend on a number of variables including available resources, infrastructure, market
position, location and budget.
5. (a) According to Porter, strategies allow organizations to gain competitive advantage from three
different bases: cost leadership, differentiation, and focus. Porter called these base generic
strategies.
Gennex has opted differentiation strategy. Its products are designed and produced to give the
customer value and quality. They are unique and serve specific customer needs that are not met
by other companies in the industry. Highly differentiated and unique hardware and software
enables Gennex to charge premium prices for its products hence making higher profits and
maintain its competitive position in the market.
Differentiation strategy is aimed at broad mass market and involves the creation of a product or
service that is perceived by the customers as unique. The uniqueness can be associated with
product design, brand image, features, technology, dealer network or customer service.
(b) Rohit Bhargava needs to break higher level strategies into functional strategies for implementation.
These functional strategies, in form of Marketing, Finance, Human Resource, Production,
Research and Development help in achieving the organisational objective. The reasons why
functional strategies are needed can be enumerated as follows:
• Functional strategies lay down clearly what is to be done at the functional level. They provide
a sense of direction to the functional staff.
• They are aimed at facilitating the implementation of corporate strategies and the business
strategies formulation at the business level.
• They act as basis for controlling activities in the different functional areas of business.

• They help in bringing harmony and coordination as they are formulated to achieve major
strategies.
Similar situations occurring in different functional areas are handled in a consistent manner by the
functional managers.
6. (a) Multidivisional (M-form) structure is composed of operating divisions where each division
represents a separate business to which the top corporate officer delegates responsibility for day -
to-day operations and business unit strategy to division managers. By such delegation, the
corporate office is responsible for formulating and implementing overall corporate strategy and
manages divisions through strategic and financial controls.
Multidivisional or M-form structure was developed in the 1920s, in response to coordination- and
control-related problems in large firms. Functional departments often had difficulty dealing with
distinct product lines and markets, especially in coordinating conflicting priorities among the
products.
Costs were not allocated to individual products, so it was not possible to assess an individual
product’s profit contribution. Loss of control meant that optimal allocation of firm resources between
products was difficult (if not impossible). Top managers became over-involved in solving short-run
problems (such as coordination, communications, conflict resolution) and neglected long -term
strategic issues. Multidivisional structure calls for:
 Creating separate divisions, each representing a distinct business
 Each division would house its functional hierarchy;
 Division managers would be given responsibility for managing day-to-day operations;
 A small corporate office that would determine the long-term strategic direction of the firm and
exercise overall financial control over the semi-autonomous divisions.
(b) Strategy implementation is missing in HQ. It is concerned with the managerial exercise of putting
a chosen strategy into action. It deals with the managerial exercise of supervising the ongoing
pursuit of strategy, making it work, improving the competence with which it is executed and showing
measurable progress in achieving the targeted results.
Strategic implementation is concerned with translating a strategic decision into action, which
presupposes that the decision itself (i.e., the strategic choice) was made with some thought being
given to feasibility and acceptability. The allocation of resources to new courses of action will need
to be undertaken, and there may be a need for adapting the organization’s structure to handle new
activities as well as training personnel and devising appropriate systems.
It is crucial to realize the difference between the formulation and implementation because they both
require very different skills. Also, a company will be successful only when the strategy formulation
is sound and implementation is excellent.

of receivables has been poor and the average collection period is 50 days, Bad debt is 0.4 per cent
of sales. A factor has offered to take over the task of debt administration and credit checking, at
an annual fee of 1 per cent of credit sales. Navya Ltd. estimates that it would save Rs. 35,000 per
year in administration costs as a result. Due to the efficiency of the factor, the average collection
period would reduce to 30 days and bad debts would be zero. The factor would advance 80 per
cent of invoiced debts at an annual interest rate of 11 per cent. Navya Ltd. is currently financing

Working Notes
1. Total debt = 0.60 x Equity share capital = 0.60 Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 60,000
Further, Current debt to total debt = 0.40. So, current debt = 0.40 × Rs.60,000 = Rs.24,000,
Long term debt = Rs.60,000 - Rs.24,000= Rs. 36,000
2. Fixed assets = 0.60 × Equity share Capital = 0.60 × Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 60,000
3. Total assets to turnover = 2 Times : Inventory turnover = 8 Times
Hence, Inventory /Total assets = 2/8=1/4, Total assets = Rs. 1,60,000
Therefore Inventory = Rs. 1,60,000/4 = Rs. 40,000

(b) Limitations are:
1) The lease rentals become payable soon after the acquisition of assets and no moratorium
period is permissible as in case of term loans from financial institutions. The lease
arrangement may, therefore, not be suitable for setting up of the new projects as it would
entail cash outflows even before the project comes into operation.
2) The leased assets are purchased by the lessor who is the owner of equipment. The seller’s
warranties for satisfactory operation of the leased assets may sometimes not be available to
lessee.
3) Lessor generally obtains credit facilities from banks etc. to purchase the leased equipment
which are subject to hypothecation charge in favour of the bank. Default in payment by the
lessor may sometimes result in seizure of assets by banks causing loss to the lessee.
4) Lease financing has a very high cost of interest as compared to interest charged on term loans
by financial institutions/banks.
Despite all these disadvantages, the flexibility and simplicity offered by lease finance is bound to
make it popular. Lease operations will find increasing use in the near future.
3. (a)
Rs.
Present level of receivables is 45 lakh× 50/365 6,16,438
In case of factor, receivables would reduce to 45 lakhs× 30/365 3,69,863
The costs of the existing policy are as follows:

Cost of financing existing receivables: 6,16,438×10% 61,644
Cost of bad debts: 45 lakhs × 0.4% 18,000
Cost of current policy 79,644
The cost under the factor are as follows:
Cost of financing new receivable through factor:
(Rs. 3,69,863 × 0.8 × 0.11) + (Rs. 3,69,863 × 0.2 × 0.10) 39,945
= (32,548 + 7,397)
3

Factor’s annual fee: 45 Lakhs × 0.01 45,000
Administration costs saved: (35,000)
Net cost under factor: 49,945
From the above analysis it is clear that the factor’s services are cheaper than Existing policy by
Rs. 29,699 (Rs. 79,644 - Rs.49,945) per year. Hence, the services of the factor should be
accepted.
(b) The term trading on equity means debts are contracted and loans are raised mainly on the basis
of equity capital. Those who provide debt have a limited share in the firm’s earning and hence
want to be protected in terms of earnings and values represented by equity capital. Since fixed
charges do not vary with firm’s earnings before interest and tax, a magnified effect is produced on
earning per share. Whether the leverage is favourable, in the sense, increase in earnings per
share more proportionately to the increased earnings before interest and tax, depends on the
profitability of investment proposal. If the rate of returns on investment exceeds their explicit cost,
financial leverage is said to be positive.
4. (a) Since funds available are restricted, the normal Net Present Value (NPV) rule of accepting
investments decisions with the highest NPVs cannot be adopted straight way. Further, as the
projects are divisible, a Profitability Index (PI) can be utilized to provide the most beneficial
combination of investment for Rio Ltd.
Project PV Per Rs. Rank as per PI
Alfa (α) Rs. 6,40,000 / Rs. 5,40,000 = 1.185 III
Beta (β) Rs. 7,50,000 / Rs. 6,00,000 = 1.250 I
Gama (γ) Rs. 3,18,000 / Rs. 2,60,000 = 1.223 II
Therefore Rio Ltd should invest Rs. 6,00,000 into project β (Rank I) earnings Rs. 1,50,000 and
Rs.2,00,000 into project γ (Rank II) earning Rs.44,615 Rs. 2,00,000 / Rs. 2,60,000 × Rs. 58,000
So, total NPV will be Rs.1,94,615 Rs. 1,50,000 + Rs. 44,615 from Rs. 8,00,000 of investment.
(b) Calculation of Risk Adjusted rate

Risk level Risk free rate (%) Risk Premium (%) Risk adjusted rate (%)
Low 8 4 12

5. (i) The EPS of the firm is Rs. 10 (i.e., Rs. 2,00,000/ 20,000). The P/E Ratio is given at 12.5 and the
cost of capital, ke, may be taken at the inverse of P/E ratio. Therefore, k e is 8 (i.e., 1/12.5). The
firm is distributing total dividends of Rs. 1,50,000 among 20,000 shares, giving a dividend per share
of Rs. 7.50. the value of the share as per Walter’s model may be found as follows:
D (r / K e )(E  D) 7.50 (.10 / .08)(10  7.5)
P  =  = Rs. 132.81
Ke Ke .08 .08
The firm has a dividend payout of 75% (i.e., Rs. 1,50,000) out of total earnings of Rs. 2,00,000.
since, the rate of return of the firm, r, is 10% and it is more than the k e of 8%, therefore, by
distributing 75% of earnings, the firm is not following an optimal dividend policy. The optimal
dividend policy for the firm would be to pay zero dividend and in such a situation, the market price
would be
D (r / K e )(E  D) 0 (.10 / .08)(10 - 0)
P=  =  = Rs. 156.25
ke Ke .08 .08
So, theoretically the market price of the share can be increased by adopting a zero payout.
(ii) The P/E ratio at which the dividend policy will have no effect on the value of the share is such at
which the ke would be equal to the rate of return, r, of the firm. The K e would be 10% (=r) at the
P/E ratio of 10. Therefore, at the P/E ratio of 10, the dividend policy would have no effect on the
value of the share.
(iii) If the P/E is 8 instead of 12.5, then the Ke which is the inverse of P/E ratio, would be 12.5 and in
such a situation ke> r and the market price, as per Walter’s model would be
D (r / K e )(E  D) 7.50 (.1/ .125) (10  7.5)
P=  = + = Rs. 76
Ke Ke .125 .125
6. (a) Bridge finance refers, normally, to loans taken by the business, usually from commercial banks for
a short period, pending disbursement of term loans by financial institutions, normally it takes time
for the financial institution to finalise procedures of creation of security, tie-up participation with
other institutions etc. even though a positive appraisal of the project has been made. However,
once the loans are approved in principle, firms in order not to lose further time in starting their
projects arrange for bridge finance. Such temporary loan is normally repaid out of the proceeds of
the principal term loans. It is secured by hypothecation of moveable assets, personal guarantees
and demand promissory notes. Generally rate of interest on bridge finance is higher as compared
with that on term loans.

(b) Virtual Banking and its Advantages
Virtual banking refers to the provision of banking and related services through the use of
information technology without direct recourse to the bank by the customer.
The advantages of virtual banking services are as follows:
➢ Lower cost of handling a transaction.
➢ The increased speed of response to customer requirements.
➢ The lower cost of operating branch network along with reduced staff costs leads to cost
efficiency.
Virtual banking allows the possibility of improved and a range of services being made available to
the customer rapidly, accurately and at his convenience.
(c) Concentration Banking: In concentration banking the company establishes a number of strategic
collection centres in different regions instead of a single collection centre at the head office. This
system reduces the period between the time a customer mails in his remittances and the time when
they become spendable funds with the company. Payments received by the different collection
centers are deposited with their respective local banks which in turn transfer all surplus funds to
the concentration bank of head office

(b) According to Milton Friedman, permanent income is a measure of wealth which is the present
discounted value of all expected future incomes. As distinguished from transitory income, it is the
normal income or the income that people expect to persist into the future. The nominal demand for
money is a function of total wealth, which is represented by permanent income divided by the
discount rate, defined as the average return on the five asset classes in the monetarist theory
world, namely: money, bonds, equity, physical capital and human capital.
(c) In order to protect the interest of consumer’s government fixes the maximum price of the
commodity. This maximum price is generally lower than the equilibrium price. This is calle d control
price or ceiling price. This price is fixed by the government because poor people cannot afford to
buy the commodity at equilibrium price. This situation arises when the production of a co mmodity
is less than its demand. In India government has a control price or ceiling price of the commodities
which it considers essential for the masses. For examples maximum prices of food grains and
essential items like some goods such as wheat, rice, sugar, kerosene oil etc. are during scarcity.
(d) Trade is distorted if quantities of commodities produced, bought, and sold and their prices are
higher or lower than levels that would usually exist in a competitive market. For example, barriers
to imports such as tariffs, domestic subsidies and quantitative restrictions can make agricultural
products more costly in a market of a country. The higher prices will result in higher production of
crop. Then export subsidies are needed to sell the surplus output in the world markets, where
prices are low. Thus, the subsidising countries can be producing and exporting considerably more
than what they normally would.
8. (a) (i) Lower interest rates increases disposable incomes and influence the spending decisions of
households and businesses by reducing the amount of interest they pay on debt. Reductions
in interest rates which they receive on deposits reduce the incentives for households to save
and may encourage them to borrow and spend now rather than later, in particular, on durable
goods, such as cars and household appliances, and housing. Lower interest rates are thus
associated with higher household consumption and housing investment. Similarly, with lower
interest rates the cost of borrowing declines, expected returns on investment projects
increase, and these encourage businesses to borrow and increase their spending on
investment (in capital assets like new equipment or buildings). Since households and
businesses substitute between spending now and in the future, overall, lower interest rates
should be associated with an increase in business investment.

(ii) Perfect information which implies that both buyers and sellers have complete information
about anything that may influence their decision making is an important element of an efficient
competitive market. Information failure occurs when lack of information can result in
consumers and producers making decisions that do not maximize welfare. Information failure
is widespread in numerous market exchanges due to complex nature of goods and services
that are transacted, inaccurate and incomplete data, and non-availability of correct
information.
(b) (i) Nominal GDP is calculated in terms of current prices. Nominal GDP growth refers to the
percentage change in nominal GDP over a specific period of time. Since the effect of inflation/
deflation is not removed, it does not present the true picture of growth of the economy.
(ii) Optimal output is the ideal quantity of output that ensures maximum level of social welfare.
This will occur at a level of output where social marginal cost (SMC) = social marginal benefit.
(SMB) At this level of output the society’s resources are utilised in the most efficient way.
9. (a) (i) A direct effect of monetary policy on the firm’s balance sheet comes through an increase in
interest rates leading to an increase in the payments that the firm must make to repay its
floating rate debts. Logically, as a firm’s cost of credit rises, the strength of its balance sheet
deteriorates. An indirect effect occurs when the same increase in interest rates works to
reduce the capitalized value of the firm’s long‐lived assets. Reduced net worth of businesses
and individuals make it tougher for them to qualify for loans at any interest rate, thus reducing
spending and price pressures. Hence, a policy‐induced increase in the short‐term interest
rate not only acts immediately to depress spending through the traditional interest rate
channel, it also acts, possibly with a time-lag, to raise each firm’s cost of capital through the
balance sheet channel. These together aggravate the decline in output and employment.
Conversely, a reduction in interest rates can increase the borrowing capacity of households
and businesses. This is because lower interest rates are associated with higher asset prices.
In turn, higher asset prices increase the equity (or collateral) of existing assets that a bank
can lend against. As a result, borrowers with existing assets may be able to borrow more,
which can lead to more spending.
(ii) The nature of the economic system determines the size and scope of the economic functions
of the government. In a centrally planned socialistic economy, the state owns all productive
resources and makes all important economic decisions. On the contrary, in a m arket
economy, all important economic decisions are made by individuals and firms who want to
maximise self interest and there is only limited role for the government. In a mixed economic
system, both markets and government contribute towards resource allocation decisions.
(b) NDPFC = Compensation of Employees + Operating Surplus + Mixed Income
= (viii) + (ix) + (iv) + (v) + (vi) + (vii) = 489 + 50+ 311 + 892 + 81 + 6 = 1829 Crores
GDPMP = NDPFC + Depreciation + Net Indirect Tax
= NDPFC + (ii) + (i) = 1829 + 42 + 208 = 2079 Crores
NNP Fc= NDPFC + Net Factor Income from Abroad
= NDPFC + (iii) = 2079+ (-40) = 2039 Crores
10. (a) (i) Since FDI involves setting up of production base (in terms of factories, power plants, etc.) it
generates direct employment in the recipient country. Subsequent FDI as well as domestic
investments propelled in the downstream and upstream projects that come up in multitude
of other services generate multiplier effects on employment and income. FDI not only creates
direct employment opportunities but also, through backward and forward linkages, it is able
to generate indirect employment opportunities as well.Foreign direct investments also
promote relatively higher wages for skilled jobs. However, jobs that require expertise and
entrepreneurial skills for creative decision making may generally be retained in the home
8

country and therefore the host country is left with routine management jobs that demand only
lower levels of skills and ability. This may result in ‘crowding in’ of people in jobs requiring low
skills, perpetuation of low labour standards and differential treatment.
FDIs are likely use labor-saving technology and capital-intensive methods in a labour-
abundant country and cause labour displacement. Such technology is inappropriate for a
labour-abundant country as it does not support generation of jobs which is a crucial
requirement to address poverty and unemployment which are the two fundamental areas of
concern for the less developed countries. Not only that foreign entities fail to support
employment generation, but they may also drive out domestic firms from the industry resulting
in serious problems of displacement of labour.
(b) (i) A final good is a good sold to final purchasers and is consumed by the end user in its present
state. It does not require any further processing and therefore will not undergo any further
transformation at the hands of producer. Once a final good has been sold, it passes out of
the active economic flow. The value of the final goods already includes the value of the
intermediate goods that have entered into their production as inputs.
(ii) Externalities, also referred to as 'spillover effects', 'neighbourhood effects' 'third-party effects'
or 'side-effects', occur when the actions of either consumers or producers result in costs or
benefits that do not reflect as part of the market price. Externalities cause market inefficiencies
because they hinder the ability of market prices to convey accurate information about how
much to produce and how much to buy. Since externalities are not reflected in market prices,
they can be a source of economic inefficiency. The four possible types of externalities are
negative externality initiated in production which imposes an external cost on others, positive
production externality, less commonly seen, initiated in production that confers external
benefits on others, negative consumption externalities initiated in consumption which produce
external costs on others, positive consumption externality initiated in consumption that
confers external benefits on others. Each of the above may be received by another in
consumption or in production.
11. (a) (i) The allocation responsibility of the governments involves suitable corrective action when
private markets fail to provide the right and desirable combination of goods and services to
ensure social welfare. In the absence of appropriate government intervention, market failures
may occur and the resources are likely to be misallocated by too much production of certain
goods or too little production of certain other goods. Thus, market failures provide the
rationale for government’s allocative function.
(ii) Non tariff measures are policy measures other than ordinary customs tariffs that can
potentially have an economic effect on international trade in goods, changing quantities
traded, or prices or both (UNCTAD, 2010). For example, the sound use of NTMs like sanitary
and phytosanitary measures and licensing could be legitimately used to ensure consumer
health and to protect plant and animal life and environment
NTMs are not the same as non-tariff barriers (NTBs). NTMs are sometimes used as means
to circumvent free-trade rules and favour domestic industries at the expense of foreign
competition. In this case they are called non-tariff barriers (NTBs). NTBs are a subset of NTMs
that have a 'protectionist or discriminatory intent' and implies a negative impact on trade.
NTMs only become NTBs when they are more trade restrictive than necessary. Some
examples of NTBs are compulsory standards, often not based on international norms or
genuine science; stringent technical regulations requiring alterations in production processes,
testing regimes which require complex procedures and product approvals requiring inspection
of individual premises
(b) (i) The rate between Y and Z which is derived from the given rates of another set of two pairs of
currency (say, X and Y, and, X and Z) is called cross rate.

(ii) Local content policies requiring the purchase or use by a foreign enterprise of domestic
products and employment of the local workforce seek to ensure that the maximum benefits
from production activities accrue to local economic actors. These are essentially aimed at
reducing the volume or value of imports or at restraining the employment of foreign labour.
OR
Open market operations are conducted by the RBI by way of sale or purchase of government
securities to adjust money supply conditions. The central bank sells government securities to
suck out liquidity from the system and buys back government securities to infuse liquidity into
the system. When the RBI feels that there is excess liquidity in the market, it resorts to sale
of securities thereby sucking out the rupee liquidity. Similarly, when the liquidity conditions
are tight, the RBI will buy securities from the market, thereby releasing liquidity into the
market. These operations are often conducted on a day-to-day basis in a manner that
balances inflation while helping the banks to continue lending.
