Question # 3:
Historically the directors of Zed Bank have resisted change, seeking to offer a traditional
approach to its customers. However, recent problems within the banking industry and an
increasingly competitive market have forced the Board to consider a number of important
initiatives, including:
Enhancing its current services to customers by providing them with on•line
internet and telephone banking services; and
Reducing costs by closing many of its rural and smaller branches (outlets).
In an attempt to pacify the employee representatives (the Banking Trade Union) and to reduce
expected protests by the communities affected by branch closure, a senior Bank spokesperson
has announced that the changes will be ‘incremental’ in nature. In particular, she has stressed
that:
the change will be implemented over a lengthy time period
there will be no compulsory redundancies
Banking staff ready to take on new roles and opportunities in the online
operations will be retrained and offered generous relocation expenses.
For customers, the Bank has promised that automatic cash dispensing machines will be
available in all the localities where branches (outlets) close. Customers will also be provided
with the software needed for Internet banking and other assistance necessary to give them
quick and easy access to banking services.
The leader of the Banking Trade Union is ‘appalled’ at the initiatives announced. He has
argued that the so-called ‘incremental’ change is in fact the start of a ‘transformational’
change that will have serious repercussions, not only for the Union's members but also for
many of the Bank's customers.

Required:
Distinguish incremental change from transformational change. Explain why the Bank
spokesperson and the trade union leader disagree over their description of the change. (06)

Required:

(The End)
Mid Term Suggested Solution

Ans.1 (2 marks for each point)

1) Monitor: Because he is sensing competitive market. He is trying to find out the different
prices of products being offered by other competitors in the market so that he can
recommend a pricing strategy to his top management.

2) Negotiator: Because he is Committing organizational resources in “real-time” with the


broad information available from their informational roles.

3) Figure head: Because he is performs ceremonial duties. Examples: greeting visiting


dignitaries, attending an employee’s wedding, taking an important customer to lunch.

4) Leader: Because he is responsible for the work of subordinates, motivating and encouraging
employees, exercising formal authority.

5) External liaison: Because he is making contacts outside the vertical chain of command
including peers in other companies or departments, and government and trade organization
representatives.

Ans.2 (2 marks for each point)

1) Corporate infrastructure: This relates to the organization structure and its management
systems, including planning and finance management, quality management and
information systems management.
2) Outbound logistics: These are activities concerned with the storage of finished goods
before sale, and the distribution and delivery of goods (or services) to the customers. For
services, outbound logistics relate to the delivery of a service at the customer’s own
premises.
3) Purchasing: These are activities concerned with buying the resources for the entity –
materials, plant, equipment and other assets. Successful buying often means lower
purchase costs, or achieving a secure source of supply for key materials or components.
4) Human resources management: These are the activities concerned with recruiting,
training, developing and rewarding people in the organization.
5) Technology development: These are activities related to any development in the
technological systems of the entity, such as product design (research and development)
and IT systems.
6) Services: These are all the activities that occur after the point of sale, such as installation,
warranties, repairs and maintenance, and providing training to the employees of
customers
Ans.3

Incremental change means step by step changes over time, in small steps. When incremental
change occurs within an organization, it is possible for the organization to adapt to the change
without having to alter its culture or structures significantly. Employees are able to adapt to
the gradual changes, and are not unsettled by them.

In contrast, transformational change is a sweeping change that has immediate and widespread
effects. The effect of transformational change is usually to alter the structure and culture of the
organization, often with major staff redundancies and the recruitment of new staff with new
skills.

The spokesperson for the bank has argued that the change will be incremental. Since the
change will take place over a long period of time, staff will have time to adapt to the new
structure. There will be no compulsory redundancies and staff will be retrained in new skills.
Although some branches will close others will remain open, and customers will be offered
additional facilities through online banking.

The trade union leader believes that the change will be much more dramatic. He might believe
that many employees will leave the bank because they are unable to adapt to the new service,
or because they are unwilling to relocate from the branches that are closed down. The bank
might push through the branch closure programme more quickly than it has currently
proposed, and staff redundancies could be made compulsory if there are not enough
individuals willing to take voluntary redundancy.

Essentially, the two individuals take differing viewpoints because they are looking at change
differently. The spokesperson for the bank wants to persuade employees to accept the change,
and even welcome it. The trade union representative wants to warn employees about the
potential consequences, and has therefore stressed the risks.

THE END
IEF Mid-Term Suggested Solution By Sir Ijaz Butt

Question # 1:

(a) Describe demerit goods and club goods with at least two examples each? (M.04)

Answer:

Demerit Goods:

A good or service whose consumption is considered unhealthy, degrading, or otherwise socially undesirable due to
the perceived negative effects on the consumers themselves".
Examples, alcoholic beverages, and recreational drugs.

Club Goods:

Are a type of good in economics, sometimes classified as a subtype of public goods that are excludable but non-
rivalrous, at least until reaching a point where congestion occurs. These goods are often provided by a natural
monopoly.
Examples, Cinemas, and Cable Television

(b) Opportunity cost is important for active agents of an economy. Elaborate with examples? (M.06)

Opportunity Cost:

The forgone benefits by using a factor of production in its next best alternative.
The opportunity cost is the cost of losing an opportunity to get next benefit.
The application of the concept of opportunity cost can be observed in all sectors / agents of the of an economy such
as:
i. Consumer: Consumer considers the opportunity forgone while spending his income among various goods to
satisfy his wants.
ii. Government: Government also considers the opportunity cost by using resources to provide various
development and non-development projects to the society.
iii. Firms: The forgone benefit by using a factor of production during a production process is the core aim of a firm
to maximize its profits.

Question # 2:
Demonstrate the production possibility curve on an economy for consumer goods and military equipment’s. Use
appropriate diagram to support your answer. Explain the effect of economic growth on a country’s production
possibility frontier? (M.10)

Answer

Production Possibility Curve:

A production Possibility Frontier/Curve (PPC or PPF) shows different combination of two goods that an economy
can produce when all the resources are fully and efficiently applied.

Assumption of PPF:

PPF (curve) is based on the following assumption:


1. Only two goods ‘X’ (Consumer goods) ‘Y’ (Capital goods) are produced in different proportion in the economy.
2. There is full employment of resources.
3. The supply of factors are fixed. But these can be re-allocated for production of two goods within limits.
4. The production techniques are given and constant.
5. The time period is short
6. The firm has given quantities of an input with which it produces the two goods.
7. It produces more of one good and less of the other.
Diagram and Explanation:
Attainable Consumer Capital We can illustrate this concept by using following diagram:

The movement from X point to Y point illustrate a very important aspect of the economic problem, the principle of
opportunity cost. The opportunity cost of any choice is measured in terms of the alternative that have to give up.
Hence the opportunity cost of increasing the production of consumer goods from C1-C2 is the fall in production of
capital goods from K1 to K2. This trend is showing the opportunity cost. In above diagram this point M indicates a
combination of capital goods and consumer goods where all resources are not employed fully. Whereas the point N
is not technically possible in given present resources and technology. Hence the opportunity cost of any decision or
choice can be defined as the next best alternative sacrificed or forgone.

ECONOMIC GROWTH AND SHIFT IN PPF:


Economic growth can be defined as an outward shifting of the economy’s production possibility frontier, or an
increase in its production potential.
When the PPF shifts outwards, we can imply that there has been growth in an economy. Alternatively, when the
PPF shifts inwards it indicates that the economy is shrinking due to a failure in its allocation of resources and
optimal production capability. A shrinking economy could be a result of a decrease in supplies or a deficiency in
technology. An economy can only be producing on the PPF curve in theory; in reality, economies constantly
struggle to reach an optimal production capacity. And because scarcity forces an economy to forgo some choice in
favor of others, the slope of the PPF will always be negative; if production of product A increases then production of
product B will have to decrease accordingly.
TWO MAIN CHARACTERISTICS / PROPERTIES OF PPC / PPF:
Downward Sloping: The reason for being downward sloping in the transformation ofresources from one
commodity to another commodity. The increase in production of one commodity will result in decrease in other
commodity.
Concave to origin: The reason for being concave to origin is because some of the economy’s resources are better
at producing consumer goods and some are better for capital goods. So, due to transferring resources from efficient
use to inefficient use. The opportunity cost increases and PPF becomes concave to origin.

Question # 3:
(a) Mr. Zain ul Abideen is dealing in room coolers for last few years. Over the years his accounts book has
showna record growth in its sale. Surprisingly he has experienced a sharp scaling back in sale this year. On
investigation he was found that one of the major reasons is availability of a new substitute in the market. Zain was
selling his product at the rate Rs. 25000 per unit. In the absence of an alternative, it’s total sale was recorded 2000
units during a course of time. Since it was observed that Zain’s sales gone down in a result when an alternative is
avail with a price cut from Rs. 28000 to Rs. 22000 per unit. Calculate the cross elasticity of demand and state its
degree. (M.08)

Solution:

Price of Q.D (for


substitutes Zain)
28000 2000

22000 X

It is supposed that new demand X=1500 units (students will assume any will to calculate the elasticity)
22000−28000 1500−2000
e.d = ÷
(22000+28000)/2 (1500+2000)/2

e=

(b) State why the income elasticity of demand is negative for inferior goods? (M.02)
Answer:
An inferior good will always have a negative income elasticity of demand, because as income increases,
the demand for the product will decrease, as consumer switch to other alternative.
Question # 4:
(a)Support price is a system to protect the week agents of an economy from exploitation especially in agriculture.
Explain how minimum price system works in this regards. Elucidate your thought by means of a suitable diagram?
(M.06)

 In the above diagram supply shifts outwards from S1 to S2 meaning (with no intervention) the price
will fall to Pe.
 However, because the government guarantees the price at Pmin it buys the surplus stock: Q2 – Q3
 The fact that farmers receive this price, naturally means that the price is stable, thus achieving the
policy goal
Should there be a commodity shortage in a future period, these stock levels could be used to release onto
the market and reduce the upward pressure on price

(b) Apart from the price of a product, there are many other factors which affect the quantum of supply into a
market. Explain those factors which responsible for a fall in supply of product. (No need of diagram) (M.04)

Answer:
Whenever there is a change in conditions other than price it may cause outward and inward shift simultaneously.
The following factors will shift the supply curve:
(i) Change in cost of production.
(ii) Change in the technology or method of production.
(iii) Change in efficiency of factors of production.
(iv) Discoveries and innovations.
(v) Change in indirect taxation.
(vi) Change in price of competitive supply.
(vii) Entry and exist of firms into industry.
Question # 5:
(a)Differentiate between cardinal and ordinal school of thoughts of utility? (M.02)

Answer:
Cardinal Thought of utility:
Cardinal thought of utility means utility can be measured quantitatively (like any other physical commodity) by
assigning a numeric value to it e.g. 10,20.
Ordinal Thought of utility:
Ordinal measurement means utility cannot be measured using numeric value. Consumer can only give
ranking/preference to different commodities on the basis of satisfaction received from each commodity
e.g. 1st,2nd,3rd.

(b)In economic theory it is affirmed that the real income of consumers increases as price of product under
consideration falls. Explain that price effect, comes from the income and substitution effects in this case.
(Support your answer with help of diagram). (M.08)

Price effect:
Price effect is the change in consumer equilibrium (i.e. change in quantity purchased of good) due to change in
price of a good.
Income effect:
Income effect is the change in consumer equilibrium (i.e. change in quantity purchased of good) due to change
in income of the consumer.

Effect of price on quantity demanded can be bifurcated into real income effect and substitution effect i.e.

Price Effect = Income effect (I.E) + Substitution effect (S.E).

Diagram and Explanation:

Here we see the same price movement as before: a fall in the price of Good X.
Keeping utility constant, were we dealing with the new relative prices, then A’ of Good X would be consumed.
The income effect is then brought into place, effectively moving from A’ to B. This causes the quantity of B
consumed to decrease.
Here the substitution and income effects are working in opposite directions; however, the substitution effect
dominates the income effect.
We see that the price of Good X falling still leads to an increase in the quantity consumed nevertheless.

iii. consideration doesn’t need to be adequate; it must have some value.so the contract on
account of consideration amounting to Rs.10000 is valid if Ahmad refused to carry out the
contract, he is liable to pay damages to Akram.
iv.
a. The communication of acceptance is complete as against the acceptor on 15 th January
because the letter of acceptance is received by offeror on 15th January.
b. X’s revocation is valid because X can revoke his offer at any time before the letter of
acceptance is posted by the offeree.
V) B will not succeed because he bought the horse after examination and not on the basis of
the Certificate. B has not therefore been deceived by the Certificate actually and a deceit
which does not deceive is not a fraud.

vi) The contract is absolutely void as there is a mutual mistake of both the parties as to the
substance or quality of the subject-matter going to the very root of the contract. In case of
bilateral mistake of essential fact, the agreement is void-ab- initio. In furtherance of the
consequences thereof the advantage both parties exchanged will be returned.

As Per Revenue:
Total Revenue (Internal + External) = 70+45+300+300+453+12+50+90 1320 0.5

Segment Revenue Percentage Reportable


A 115 115/1320*100 = 8.71% r
B 600 600/1320*100 = 45.4% a
C 465 465/1320*100 = 35.22% a
D 140 140/1320*100 = 10.61% a 2

As Per Profit:
Total Profit = 100+3150+2200+1350 6800 0.5

A's percentage of Profit = 100/6800*100 1.47% 0.5

As per Assets
Total Assets = 50+75+1000+2000+900+400+1700+235 6360 0.5

Answer# 3:

I. Legal proceedings
• At the year end the company had made disclosure of a contingent liability. (0.5)
• The legal proceedings were started on 20 September 2018 (10 days before the year-end). (0.5)
• However subsequent to the year end (29 October 2018) the court found the company liable for
breach of contract. (0.5)
• This is therefore evidence of conditions that existed at the year end, hence this is an adjusting
event. (0.5)
• IAS 10 requires the result of a court case after the reporting date to be taken into consideration to
determine whether a provision should be recognized in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions
Contingent Liabilities and Contingent assets at the year end. (0.5)
• In this case the following adjustments are to be made:
Claim expense 500,000
Provision for claim 500,000 (0.5)
II. Loss of customer
• A customer ceasing to trade so soon after the reporting period indicates non-recoverability of a
receivable at the reporting date (0.5)
• Therefore representing as an adjusting event under IAS 10 as the bankruptcy of a customer that
occurs after the reporting period usually confirms that a loss existed at the end of the reporting period
on a trade receivable. (1)
• Assuming that nothing will be recovered, the following provision will be made in the statement
financial position as the amount was material.
Bad debt expense 750,000
Provision for bad debt 750,000 (0.5)
III. Fair Value of Investment
• Change in share value after reporting date is not an adjusting event as per IAS - 10 hence only a
disclosure is required to be made. (1)
IV. NRV adjustment
• Assuming the new model was launched suddenly, no conditions existed at the year-end hence this is
not an adjusting event. (1)
• No adjustment is required to be made in this regard. (0.5)
• Only a disclosure is required to be made (0.5)

OR

• Assuming it was normal launch of a new model, the new model was expected at the year end, it
means that the conditions existed at the year end, hence this is an adjusting event. (1)
• As the old model can now be sold at a price of Rs. 4500 per unit, the value of inventory needs to be
written down. The following adjustment is to be made:

Cost of Goods Sold 5,000


Inventory 5,000 (1)

Question # 5:

Hollywood Limited (Hollywood) manufactures and sells luxury toiletries; they have been trading for
over 20 years and the company’s year end is 30 September. Hollywood sells products to trade
customers via its own website; this represents 60% of revenue. Remaining revenue is generated
by contracts to supply toiletries to hotels. Below is a description of the sales system.

Hotel revenue:
The hotel revenue is made up of four key customers. Hollywood has one sales clerk, Jennifer, who
maintains all aspects of this revenue stream; Jennifer receives customer orders, raises sales
invoices and processes payments. In raising invoices, the sales system automatically inserts the
online trade customer prices for products. However, each hotel customer has contracted prices
which are lower than the online prices and hence Jennifer manually edits the invoices prior to
despatch.

Online revenue:
New trade customers are set up in the sales ledger master file upon passing suitable credit
checks, and a credit limit is set at this stage by the finance director. Customers place online orders
up to their pre-set credit limit; they receive an email confirmation and the sales order interfaces
into the despatch system. The order number is linked to the customer account number. Goods are
despatched daily with a goods despatched note which is referenced to the sales order number but
are not sequentially numbered. Hollywood used to despatch goods via a reliable national courier
company. However, to reduce costs they have changed to a cheaper local courier and some
orders have been delivered to customers late.

Trade customers’ sales invoices are automatically generated by the system on the day the online
order is placed. The prices are inserted in accordance with the website rates. Occasionally
Hollywood makes special offers or discounts sales; when this occurs the master file data has to be
amended to ensure that the correct prices are used on invoices. This task is usually performed by
a senior sales ledger clerk.

Revenue and receivables records


On a monthly basis statements are sent to the hotel customers; a number of trade customers have
been requesting monthly statements and Hollywood is considering this request. The company only
reconciles the sales ledger control account at the end of September in order to verify the year-end
balance.

Required:

As the external auditor of Hollywood Co, write a report to management in respect of the sales
system described above which:
(i) Identifies and explains FIVE deficiencies in the sales system; (Marks: 05)
And
(ii) Provide a recommendation to address each of these deficiencies. (Marks: 05)
A covering letter is not required.

THE END
Midterm exam questions

Solution

Answer-1:(a)

Risk of improper implementation of ERP:


Improper implementation of new ERP system creates the risk of generating incorrect financial information and records.
There is a risk of improper capitalization of the cost of new ERP or the useful live for calculating the amortization may not be appropriate.
Restructuring cost and liabilities:
Since BL has decided to close one of the chemical production plant and public announcement has been made in this regard, there exists a risk that
restructuring provision might not be appropriately recorded and disclosed. There is also a risk that the criteria for recognition of restructuring
provision is not met resulting in in-appropriate accounting and disclosures.
Sales commissions:
Since the commission paid to distributors depends on achievement of annual targets, judgement would be required in assessing
whether they would be able to meet their targets and accruing the sales commission accordingly.
Loyalty programs:
There is significant judgement involved in determining whether customers would make future purchases and redeem their loyalty points.
Therefore, there is a risk of material misstatement in recoding revenues and associated liabilities resulting from such transactions.
Impairment of plant and machinery:
Decline in demand of BIL’s products is an indicator of impairment of the plant and machinery. Therefore, there is a risk
that the plant and machinery may have been impaired.
Inventory:
There is a risk that that due to decline in the demand of BIL’s product, there may be
obsolete inventory which require to be written down to net realizable value.
Tax liabilities:
There is a risk of material misstatement due to the high level of judgment required to assess the outcome of tax litigations.
Risk of manipulation of operating results
Significant compensation of staff working in production and marketing department is linked with their
performance that may create risk of showing overstated figures.
Risk of fraud due to Management override of controls:
As it is a closely held entity with majority shareholding owned by a single family and with key positions
occupied by family members, there is always a risk of fraud due to management override of controls. It is further evident from reports of internal audit.

(b) Fees
Where reference is made in promotional material to fees:
This must not be misleading with regard to the precise range of services and the time commitment covered;
Comparison may be made to the fees of others, provided that this is not misleading and that it follows local regulations or legislation; and
Discounts on existing fees may be offered, or a free consultation at which the level of fees will be discussed.
Answer no 2

a)

“a person or his spouse or minor children, or in case of a firm, all partners of such firm who

hold any shares of an audit client or any of its associated companies:

Provided that if such a person holds shares prior to his appointment as auditor, whether as an

individual or a partner in a firm, the fact shall be disclosed on his appointment as auditor and

such person shall disinvest such shares within ninety days of such appointment”

spouse of the partner in this case have to disinvest shares within ninety days of such appointment.

The directorship of spouse will not effect the qualification as Ghafoor Limited is associate company of Kajoor Limited.

b)

a person who is indebted to the company other than in the ordinary course of business of such entities. The following persons will not be deemed to be indebted to the
company:

• a person who owes a sum of money not exceeding one million rupees to a credit card issuer; or

• a person who owes a sum to a utility company in the form of unpaid dues for a period not exceeding ninety days shall not be deemed to be indebted to the company.

As Partner of the firm is indebted to the subsidiary of Khyber Limited , so Khan & Co. Chartered Accountants is Disqualified for the appointment as auditor of Khyber Limited.

c)

“a person or his spouse or minor children, or in case of a firm, all partners of such firm who

hold any shares of an audit client or any of its associated companies:

A person will not be qualified for appointment as auditor of a company if he is due to the above

mentioned disqualifications is disqualified for appointment as auditor of any other company

which is that company’s subsidiary or holding company or a subsidiary of that holding company.”

So in this case UVW Limited is associated company of GLI limited, So ALM & Co. Chartered Accountants are disqualified for appointment as auditor of GLI Limited
Answer 3

3) Firewalls (software and hardware) can be used to prevent unauthorized external access via the internet.

b. The following problems may arise when control systems rely excessively on the involvement of senior management.

1. There may be a lack of evidence as to how systems are supposed to operate. The auditor will need to rely more on enquiry than on review of documentation.
2. There may be lack of evidence of controls.
3. Management may override other controls that are in place.
4. Management may lack the expertise necessary to control the entity effectively.
5. There is unlikely to be any independent person within the management team as there would be within “those charged with governance” in a large entity

Answer # 5:

a. Asher & Co. qualifies for the appointment of Charlotte Limited because the nominated
directorship of Mr. Tehseen in one of the associated company has no significance with respect to
qualification or disqualification of his spouse. (3)

b. A person who has been convicted by a court of an offence involving fraud and a period of ten
years has not elapsed from the date of such conviction. So Mr. Rizwan cannot be appointed as
auditor of FHL. (3)

c. Arish & Co. cannot be appointed as auditor of SS because of employment of Mr. Arish in SS
during preceding three year. However, employment & partnership with director was before this
appointment and only current employment & partnership is not allowed. (3)

d. Both Descon Ltd and Azhar Ltd are associated companies as Descon Ltd owns 21% shares in Azhar Ltd. A
person shall also be disqualified for appointment as auditor of a company if he is, disqualified for
appointment as auditor of any other company which is associated that company’s subsidiary or holding
company or a subsidiary of that holding company. Hence Dawood & Co. will not be disqualified on
account of the directorship of the spouse of the partner in Azhar Ltd as both companies are Associated
Companies. (3)

Answer 6
Reliable
There are a number of general principles set out in ISA 500 to assist the auditor in assessing the
reliability of audit evidence. These can be summarised as follows:
Audit evidence is more reliable when it is obtained from independent sources
outside the entity under audit. As specified above, ISA 500 requires that the auditor
should be satisfied as to the accuracy and reliability of any internal evidence used in
reaching a conclusion.
Internally generated audit evidence is more reliable when the related controls are
effective.
Audit evidence obtained directly by the auditor is more reliable than audit evidence
obtained indirectly or by inference. For example, observation of the operation of a
control by the auditor is more reliable than inquiry about the operation of that control.
Audit evidence is more reliable when it exists in documentary form. This could be
paper, electronic or other medium. For example, a written record of a meeting made at the
time is more reliable than a subsequent oral representation of the matters discussed.
Audit evidence provided by original documents is more reliable than audit evidence
provided by photocopies, or documents that have been filmed, or otherwise transformed
into electronic form. This is because the reliability of those other forms may depend on the
controls over their preparation and maintenance.

Question # 2:

Tiger Limited’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 included the
following balances.

Rs.

3% Debentures 200,000
Retained earnings 389,700
Property – cost 3,370,000
Property – accumulated depreciation 770,000

All shares have a nominal value of Re.1 per share.

Tiger Limited made a profit for the year ended 31 December 2019 of Rs.237,800,
before accounting for the matters set out below.

100,000.
2) On 1 February 2019 Tiger Limited issued a further 100,000 ordinary shares at a price of Rs. 1.50
per share. An ordinary dividend of Rs. 0.20 per share was paid on 15 March 2019.
3) Interest on debentures was not paid during the year and Tiger Limited has not yet accrued for the
amount payable.
4) Tiger Limited has previously measured all of its property under the cost model. However, on 1
January 2019 the directors made the decision to move to the revaluation model and the property
was valued at Rs.3 million. The directors wish to make annual transfers between retained
earnings and the revaluation surplus. No depreciation on property has yet been recognized for
2019. The remaining useful life of the property was reassessed on 1 January 2019 as 20 years.

5) All plant and equipment has previously been depreciated on a reducing balance basis using a
rate of 25% and the depreciation charge for 2019 has been recognized on this basis. However,

plant a straight-line basis over a total estimated life of six years would more fairly represent
usage. This specialized plant was purchased on 1 January 2016 and had a carrying amount of
Rs.30,000 on 1 January 2019.

associated company of Mithay Chaowl Limited (MCL). On 31 October 2019, F opted for
early retirement under the voluntary retirement scheme of SML. F had been in the
employment of SML since 1 January 1995. On retirement, F, in addition to his monthly
remuneration, received:
i. Rs. 7,000,000 from SML as a golden handshake payment under the SML voluntary
retirement scheme.
ii. Rs. 9,000,000 from the SML Employees Provident Fund. Rs. 9,000,000 represents the
accumulated amount in F’s account of the fund. The fund has been recognized by the
Commissioner.

Answer to Question No. 5 Marks

Part (a)

(i) Self-Hiring of Property

- Where employee or his spouse owns a property which is rented out to the employer and
employer provides this property to employee against his entitlement of rent free
accommodation, it is described as 'Self-hiring' of Property. 1

- In the above situation, FMV of rent is included in taxable salary of the employee whereas 1
actual rent received by the employee or his spouse is taxable as income from property of the
employee or his spouse.

(ii) Forfeited Deposit

- Where a person enters into a contract for sale of a building and receives an amounts as deposit
and subsequently this amount is forfeited by the seller due to failure on part of other party to
honor the contract of sale, the amount so forfeited is described as 'forfeited deposit'. 1

1
- Forfeited amount is taxable as 'Income from Property' in the year of forfeiture.

Part (b)

Tax Year 2019

- Annual Rent of land received by Mr. Salman amounting to Rs 540,000 (45,000*12) will be
taxable under the head 'Income from Property'.
1

- Mr. Hashim did not receive any amount in tax year 2019 and therefore no amount is taxable in
his hands in this scenario. 0.5
Tax Year 2020

- Annual Rent of land received by Mr. Salman amounting to Rs 540,000 (45,000*12) will be
taxable under the head 'Income from Other Sources'. This is because where a superstructure is
built on a land and is rented out, rent of land will be taxed as 'Ground Rent' under the head 1.5
'Income from other Sources'.

0.5
- Rent of building received by Mr. Hashim amounting to Rs 2,400,000 (200,000*12) other than
the amount received for amenities is taxable under the head 'Income from Property'.

Amount received for amenities by Mr. Hashim amounting to Rs 600,000 (50,000*12) is taxable 0.5
under the head 'Income from Other Sources'.

Part (c)

- In case of joint ownership of property, total income is not treated as income derived by an
AOP. 1

- Instead, share of each co-owner is allocated to the owner and is included in individual incomes
of the co-owners. 1
Question – 1: (2 marks each)
(i) Antique
An antique is a capital asset. Since antique coins were sold to his brother an associate at a price
less than their fair market value, the sale proceeds shall be taken as their fair market value on the
date of disposal and capital gain of Rs. 300,000 (Rs. 550,000-250,000) will be chargeable to tax.
Loss on sale and purchase of US dollars will be speculation loss as contract was settled otherwise
than by delivery. Speculation loss can only be adjusted against speculation business. Therefore, its
adjustment against capital gain is wrong.

(ii) LPG Licence


Rs. 1,000,000 (Rs.2,000,000-1,000,000) will be chargeable to tax under the head capital gain.
Further only 75% gain will be taxable as holding period is over one year.
The renewal fee is not included in cost of licence as it neither alters nor improves the asset nor was
it incurred in acquiring or disposing of the asset (S.76(2).)

(iii) Wapda Sukuk Bonds & Call options


Wapda Sukuk bonds are debt securities and will fall within the definition of securities. However any
gain on securities acquired before 01 July 2013 is not taxable. Hence no tax will be charged on gain
of Rs. 2,000,000.
Definition of security includes derivative products, e.g., call options. Capital gain of Rs. 12,000
(20000 x 0.6) will be taxable as separate block @ 15%.
(iv) Gain on PMEX
Derivative products fall within the definition of security. Gain will be chargeable to tax as separate
block @ 5%.
Derivative products include future commodity contracts entered into by the members of Pakistan
Mercantile Exchange whether or not settled by physical delivery.
(v) Sale of machinery
The machinery was used for manufacturing goods covered under final tax regime, hence no
depreciation was allowed on the machinery. The machinery in such situations is a capital asset and
any gain will be taxable as capital gain. As holding period was greater than 1 year, therefore taxable
gain of Rs.50,000 will be reduced by 75% to Rs.37,500.

Question – 3:
a-

1 Point each for correct answer

1. Mr. Ahmed stay in Pakistan is (31+31+30+31+15) 138 days in Tax year 2020. His stay in Pakistan is less than
183 days but more than 120 days so we have to see his stay in Pakistan in Last four tax years. His stay in
Pakistan in 2019 is 125 days, in 2018 is 130 days, in 2017 is 175 days and in 2016 is 365 days and total is
more than 365 in last year so he will considered as resident.
2. Hydelberg Pvt. Limited in incorporated in Pakistan so will remain always resident.
3. Mr. Ahmed is not Govt employee so we have see his number of days stay in Pakistan during tax year. As he
stayed less than 183 days and even less than 120 days in Pakistan so he will non resident in Pakistan in Tax
year 2020.

(b)
Half Mark Each point

(a) a company in which not less than 50% of the shares are held by the Federal Government or Provincial
Government;

(b) a company in which not less than 50% of the shares are held by a foreign Government, or a foreign company
owned by a foreign Government;

(c) a company whose shares were traded on a registered stock exchange in Pakistan at any time in the tax year and
which remained listed on that exchange at the end of that year; or

(d) a unit trust whose units are widely available to the public and any other trust as defined in the Trusts Act, 1882 (II
of 1882);

Question – 4:

(a) Prize won on game show shall be considered as Income from Other sources and shall be
classified under Final Tax Regime. Since, the prize has FMV of Rs 4.0 Million, hence, tax shall
be charged on Rs 4.0 Million and shall be considered as full and final discharge of tax liability.
(b) Any work of art of work of author, which takes more than 24 months to complete, has an option
to either tax entire amount in a single year or divide the amount in 3 equal amounts and charge
one portion in current year and balance in last 2 preceding years.

In this case, Rs 200,000 shall be charged each in tax year 2018, 2019 and 2020.

(c) Loan taken by director of a private company shall be considered as Dividend and shall be
covered under Final Tax Regime. So, this loan obtained by director of the private company shall
be taxed @ 15% and it shall be withheld on amount of loan (30% in case of non-filer).
However, if such amount would be adjusted against any future dividend, then that dividend
shall not be treated as dividend.

(d) Gift received from people other than relatives (parents, spouse) shall be considered as Income
from Other Sources from Tax Year 2020. So the FMV of the car received as gift shall be
considered as Income from other sources.

(e) After tax profit remitted outside Pakistan by a branch of foreign company shall be considered as
dividend, however, if such branch in involved in extraction and production of petroleum
products, then it shall be outside the purview of dividend. In this case, the operation of branch
is directly related to extraction of petroleum products in Pakistan, hence no taxation of dividend
shall be applied on such payment made to branch’s head office, located in China.

B- Tax on golden handshake payment = 7,000,000@12% = 840,000
Hence, total tax liability for Mr. Fahad for tax year 2020 is 2,462,500

Explanatory Notes
Note (1) As the salary of each month is transferred to each employee’s bank account
on the first working day of the following month, the monthly remuneration for June
2019 had been received by Fahad (F) in July 2019 and is therefore chargeable to tax
in the tax year 2020.

Therefore, the basic salary has been calculated for five months (June 2019 to
October 2019).

––––––––
Chargeable to tax 125,000

Note (2) A citizen of Pakistan receiving a pension from a former employer is exempt
from tax unless the individual continues to work for the same employer or an
associate
of the employer. As F, after retiring from SML, took up employment
with MCL, an associate of SML, the pension of Rs. 50,000 per month
for the months of November 2019 to June 2020 is chargeable to tax as
the salary income of F.

Note (3) The Rs. 7,000,000 received as a golden handshake payment


under the SML voluntary retirement scheme is treated as a profit in lieu of
or in addition to salary and is chargeable to tax as salary income. F
elected to have the Rs. 7,000,000 taxed at the average rate of tax for the
preceding three tax years. As the notice of election was furnished by F to
the Commissioner before 30 September 2020 (the due date for furnishing
his return of income for the tax year 2020), the tax on the Rs. 7,000,000 is
calculated separately at 12%, being the average rate of tax of F for the
preceding three years.

Note (4) The Rs. 6,000,000 due to F for the gratuity from SML, even
though paid to him by MCL, an associate of SML, is F’s income from
employment. As SML’s gratuity scheme was not approved by the Federal
Board of Revenue, the amount of the gratuity exempt from tax should
have been 50% of the amount received or Rs. 75,000 whichever is the
least.
However, since the payment of the gratuity was received by F outside
Pakistan, the above exemption is not available. The entire amount of
Rs. 6,000,000 is therefore chargeable to tax.

Note (5)

Tax Amounts totally exempt:


On sale of right 48000
On acquisition of shares ($15-$10) * 300 * 108 162,000
210,000

Amounts totally exempt:


Note (1) If a citizen of Pakistan leaves Pakistan during a tax year and
remains abroad during that tax year, any salary income earned by the
individual outside Pakistan is exempt from tax. As F is a resident in the tax
year 2020, the salary of Rs. 4,800,000 (Rs. 1,600,000 per month for three
months) earned by him in Saudi Arabia as an employee of MCL would
normally be chargeable to tax in the tax year 2020. However, since F left
Pakistan for Saudi Arabia on 1 April 2020 (tax year 2020) and remained
abroad till the end of the tax year 2020, the Rs. 4,800,000 is exempt from
tax.

Note (2) As the SML Employees Provident Fund is recognized by the Commissioner,
the accumulated amount of Rs. 9,000,000 received by F is exempt from tax.
