The conceptual framework of accounting is a crucial tool that guides the development and application
of accounting standards. It provides a consistent and coherent foundation for financial reporting,
ensuring that financial information is relevant, reliable, and comparable. The framework is organized
into three levels, each building upon the previous one to establish a comprehensive structure for
accounting principles. In this answer, we will explore each level in detail, highlighting its key
components and explaining their significance.
Relevance: Financial information is considered relevant if it has the potential to influence the economic
decisions of users. To be relevant, information must be timely, have predictive and feedback value,
and be capable of making a difference in decision-making.
Reliability: Financial information is deemed reliable if it is free from material errors and biases,
faithfully represents the economic substance of transactions, and can be relied upon by users.
Reliability is enhanced through verifiability, comparability, and faithful representation.
Relevance: As discussed earlier, information is relevant if it can impact the economic decisions of
users.
Faithful Representation: Information should faithfully represent the economic substance of
transactions and events, faithfully depicting what it purports to represent.
Comparability: Information should be presented in a manner that allows users to identify and
understand similarities and differences among different entities and periods.
Verifiability: Different knowledgeable and independent observers should be able to reach a consensus
regarding the faithful representation of the information.
Understandability: Information should be presented in a clear and concise manner, enabling users to
comprehend its meaning and significance.
Elements of Financial Statements:
Assets: Resources controlled by the entity, resulting from past events, and expected to generate future
economic benefits.
Liabilities: Present obligations of the entity, arising from past events, which are expected to result in
an outflow of resources.
Equity: The residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting liabilities.
Income: Increases in economic benefits during the accounting period, resulting in an increase in equity,
other than contributions from equity participants.
Expenses: Decreases in economic benefits during the accounting period, resulting in a decrease in
equity, other than distributions to equity participants.
Level 3: Recognition, Measurement, Presentation, and Disclosure
The third level of the conceptual framework provides guidance on the recognition, measurement,
presentation, and disclosure of financial information.
Recognition: This refers to the process of including an item in the financial statements. It involves
assessing whether an element meets the definition and the criteria for recognition. For example, an
asset is recognized when it meets the definition of an asset and is probable to generate future economic
benefits.
Measurement: Once an item is recognized, it needs to be measured. The conceptual framework
recognizes several measurement bases, including historical cost, fair value, and present value. The
choice of measurement basis depends on the qualitative characteristics of the information and the
relevance and reliability trade-off.
Presentation: Financial statements should be presented in a manner that is clear, understandable, and
relevant to the users. The framework provides guidance on the structure and content of financial
statements, including the order of items, subtotals, and the use of notes.
Disclosure: Additional information that is not presented on the face of the financial statements but is
necessary for users' understanding is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The conceptual
framework emphasizes the importance of providing sufficient and relevant disclosures to ensure that
users have a complete picture of the entity's financial position and performance.
In conclusion, the conceptual framework of accounting encompasses three levels. The first level
defines the objective of financial reporting, which is to provide relevant and reliable information for
decision-making. The second level outlines the qualitative characteristics and elements of financial
statements, ensuring that the information is useful, understandable, and comprehensive. The third level
focuses on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial information,
providing guidance on how to incorporate and present financial data in a meaningful and informative
manner. By adhering to this conceptual framework, accountants can ensure the consistency and quality
of financial reporting, facilitating effective decision-making for users of financial statements.
ANS:
Purchases:
a) On January 1, 2017, 250 kg of A1 was purchased at a price of Rs. 2,800 per kg. The total cost of
this purchase is 250 kg * Rs. 2,800/kg = Rs. 700,000.
b) On January 15, 2017, 250 kg of A1 was purchased at a price of Rs. 2,900 per kg. However, 50 kg
was returned due to inferior quality. So, the actual purchase is 200 kg (250 kg - 50 kg) at a cost of Rs.
2,900 per kg. The total cost of this purchase is 200 kg * Rs. 2,900/kg = Rs. 580,000.
Total purchases for the month of January 2017 amount to Rs. 700,000 + Rs. 580,000 = Rs. 1,280,000.
For the sale order dated January 2, 2017, with a delivery date of January 4, 2017, 100 liters of B2 were
sold. Under normal circumstances, 500 kg of A1 produces 400 liters of B2. Therefore, the amount of
A1 used for this sale is (100 liters/400 liters) * 500 kg = 125 kg.
For the sale order dated January 26, 2017, with a delivery date of January 28, 2017, 160 liters of B2
were sold. Following the same calculation, the amount of A1 used for this sale is (160 liters/400 liters)
* 500 kg = 200 kg.
The total amount of A1 used for production and subsequently sold is 125 kg + 200 kg = 325 kg.
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to determine the weighted average cost per kg of A1. The
weighted average cost is calculated by dividing the total cost of goods available for sale by the total
quantity of goods available for sale. In this case, the weighted average cost is Rs. 1,880,000/950 kg
(200 kg opening inventory + 750 kg purchases) = Rs. 1,978.95 per kg.
Therefore, the cost of goods sold is 325 kg * Rs. 1,978.95/kg = Rs. 642,530.75.
Purchases:
The total purchases made during January 2017 amount to Rs. 1,280,000, as calculated earlier.
Ending Inventory:
To calculate the ending inventory, we need to determine the quantity of A1 remaining after deducting
the amount used for production and subsequently sold. The quantity of A1 used for production is the
same as calculated under the perpetual inventory method, which is 325 kg. Therefore, the ending
inventory is 950 kg (200 kg opening inventory + 750 kg purchases) - 325 kg = 625 kg.
To determine the value of the ending inventory, we need to use the weighted average cost per kg of
A1. As calculated earlier, the weighted average cost is Rs. 1,978.95 per kg.
Therefore, the value of the ending inventory is 625 kg * Rs. 1,978.95/kg = Rs. 1,236,218.75.
Q. 3 Define the following key terms with reference to International Accounting Standard:
(20)
i. Revenue versus expenses
ii. Current versus non-current assets
iii. Current versus non-current Liabilities
iv. Types of equity
ANS:
Expenses, on the other hand, refer to the outflow of economic benefits during a specific period,
resulting from the ordinary activities of an entity. They include costs incurred in generating revenue,
such as the cost of goods sold, employee salaries, rent, utilities, and depreciation of assets. Expenses
are recognized when there is a decrease in future economic benefits related to the entity's ongoing
operations, and they can be reliably measured.
The distinction between revenue and expenses is important for financial reporting purposes as they are
reported in the income statement, which shows the financial performance of an entity over a specific
period.
Non-current assets, also known as long-term assets or fixed assets, are resources that are expected to
provide economic benefits to the entity for more than one year. They include property, plant, and
equipment (PP&E), intangible assets, investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, and
long-term investments. Non-current assets are not intended for sale or consumption in the normal
course of business operations and are expected to provide long-term value to the entity.
The classification of assets as current or non-current is important because it reflects the liquidity and
operating cycle of the business. Current assets are more readily available to meet short-term
obligations, while non-current assets represent a long-term investment in the entity's operations.
Non-current liabilities, also known as long-term liabilities, are obligations that are not expected to be
settled within one year or the normal operating cycle of the business. They include long-term
borrowings, deferred tax liabilities, pension obligations, and long-term lease obligations. Non-current
liabilities represent long-term financing or obligations that extend beyond the normal operating cycle
of the entity.
Share capital: Share capital represents the initial investment made by the shareholders in exchange for
ownership shares of the company. It can be further classified into different types of shares, such as
common shares and preferred shares, each with different rights and privileges.
Retained earnings: Retained earnings represent the accumulated profits or losses of the company that
have not been distributed to the shareholders as dividends. It is the portion of the company's earnings
that is reinvested in the business to finance its growth and expansion.
Other reserves: Other reserves include various items that are not classified as share capital or retained
earnings. These reserves are created for specific purposes, such as the revaluation of assets, hedging
instruments, or foreign currency translation adjustments. Other reserves can be created voluntarily or
as required by accounting standards or regulations.
Treasury shares: Treasury shares represent shares of a company that have been repurchased by the
company itself. These shares are held as a form of investment by the company and are not considered
to be outstanding shares. They may be reissued or canceled at a later date.
Non-controlling interests: Non-controlling interests, also known as minority interests, represent the
portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable to the parent company. Non-controlling interests
arise when a company holds less than 100% ownership in a subsidiary and reflect the ownership rights
of minority shareholders in the subsidiary.
The classification and disclosure of different types of equity are essential for understanding the
ownership structure and the distribution of financial resources among the various stakeholders of the
entity. It provides insights into the ownership rights, earnings retention, and distribution policies of the
company.
Understanding key terms in International Accounting Standards such as revenue versus expenses,
current versus non-current assets, current versus non-current liabilities, and types of equity is crucial
for financial reporting and analysis. These concepts help to differentiate between various elements of
an entity's financial statements, providing meaningful information about its financial performance,
liquidity, and capital structure.
Required:
Prepare the following ledger account pertaining to the machines for the ended 31
December 2017:
Cost
Accumulated Depreciation
Gain/Loss on disposal
ANS:
To prepare the ledger accounts pertaining to the machines for the year ended 31 December 2017, we
need to consider the given information and perform the necessary calculations.
The initial balance of the Cost of Mechanics on 1 January 2017 is given as Rs. 800,000.
Now, let's consider the transactions that affect the Cost of Mechanics during the year:
i. The machine with a net book value of Rs. 31,935 on 1 January 2017 was sold on 30 April 2017 for
Rs. 34,000. The cost of disposal incurred was Rs. 5,000.
To record this transaction, we will debit the Cost of Mechanics account with Rs. 31,935 (net book
value) and Rs. 5,000 (cost of disposal) and credit the Cost of Mechanics account with Rs. 34,000 (sale
proceeds).
Cost of Mechanics:
Date | Particulars | Debit (Rs.) | Credit (Rs.)
1 Jan 2017 | Opening Balance | 800,000 |
30 Apr 2017 | Sale of machine | 31,935 |
| Cost of disposal | 5,000 |
| Proceeds from sale | | 34,000
ii. On 1 July 2017, a machine with a fair value of Rs. 40,000 was exchanged for a new machine. The
purchase price of the new machine was Rs. 130,000, of which Rs. 80,000 was paid through a cheque,
and the remaining amount will be recorded as a liability.
To record this transaction, we will debit the Cost of Mechanics account with Rs. 130,000 (purchase
price of new machine) and credit the Cost of Mechanics account with Rs. 40,000 (fair value of old
machine) and Rs. 80,000 (cheque payment).
Cost of Mechanics:
Date | Particulars | Debit (Rs.) | Credit (Rs.)
1 Jan 2017 | Opening Balance | 800,000 |
30 Apr 2017 | Sale of machine | 31,935 |
| Cost of disposal | 5,000 |
| Proceeds from sale | | 34,000
1 Jul 2017 | Purchase of new machine | 130,000 |
| Fair value of old machine | | 40,000
| Cheque payment | | 80,000
The initial balance of Accumulated Depreciation of Mechanics on 1 January 2017 is given as Rs.
333,000.
Now, let's consider the transactions that affect the Accumulated Depreciation during the year:
i. The machine sold on 30 April 2017 had an accumulated depreciation of Rs. 31,935 on 1 January
2017.
To record this transaction, we will debit the Accumulated Depreciation account with Rs. 31,935.
The Accumulated Depreciation account after this transaction will be as follows:
Accumulated Depreciation:
Date | Particulars | Debit (Rs.) | Credit (Rs.)
1 Jan 2017 | Opening Balance | 333,000 |
30 Apr 2017 | Depreciation of sold machine | 31,935 |
ii. The new machine acquired on 1 July 2017 will start depreciating from that date.
To record the depreciation for the year, we need to calculate the depreciation expense. The machines
are depreciated at 15% per annum using the reducing balance method.
Depreciation expense for the year = 15% of (Cost of Mechanics - Accumulated Depreciation)
Depreciation expense = 15% of (Rs. 930,065 - Rs. 31,935) = 15% of Rs. 898,130 = Rs. 134,720.50
To record this transaction, we will debit the Depreciation Expense account with Rs. 134,720.50 and
credit the Accumulated Depreciation account with the same amount.
Accumulated Depreciation:
Date | Particulars | Debit (Rs.) | Credit (Rs.)
1 Jan 2017 | Opening Balance | 333,000 |
30 Apr 2017 | Depreciation of sold machine | 31,935 |
1 Jul 2017 | Depreciation expense | 134,720.50 |
To calculate the Gain/Loss on Disposal, we need to compare the proceeds from the sale of the machine
with its net book value.
Net Book Value = Cost of Mechanics - Accumulated Depreciation
i. The machine sold on 30 April 2017 had a net book value of Rs. 31,935 on 1 January 2017 and was
sold for Rs. 34,000.
To calculate the Gain/Loss on Disposal, we can subtract the net book value from the sale proceeds:
To record this transaction, we will debit the Gain/Loss on Disposal account with Rs. 2,065.
Gain/Loss on Disposal:
Date | Particulars | Debit (Rs.) | Credit (Rs.)
30 Apr 2017 | Gain on disposal of machine | 2,065 |
Note: The ledger accounts provided above cover the transactions related to the machines for the year
ended 31 December 2017. Further calculations and adjustments may be required for subsequent years
and financial reporting.

ANS:
IAS 10, "Events after the Reporting Period," provides guidelines on how to handle events that occur
after the end of the reporting period but before the financial statements are authorized for issue. These
events are classified as either adjusted or non-adjusted events.
Adjusted Events:
Adjusted events are those that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting
period. They require adjustments to the financial statements. There are two types of adjusted events:
a) Adjustments Recognized in the Financial Statements:
If an adjusted event provides additional information about conditions that existed at the end of the
reporting period, it should be reflected in the financial statements. For example, if a customer dispute
arises after the reporting period but relates to sales made before the reporting period, the revenue and
any associated provision for bad debts should be adjusted.
B) DISCLOSURES IN THE NOTES:
In some cases, an adjusted event does not require adjustments to the financial statements but should
be disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. For example, if a major customer declares
bankruptcy after the reporting period, but before the financial statements are authorized for issue, it
may not require adjustments, but disclosure of this event is necessary to provide users of the financial
statements with relevant information.
Non-Adjusted Events:
Non-adjusted events are those that are indicative of conditions that arose after the reporting period.
They do not require adjustments to the financial statements but should be disclosed in the notes to the
financial statements if they are material and have a significant impact on the entity's financial position.
Non-adjusted events are further classified into two types:
A) Disclosed Events:
Non-adjusted events that do not affect the financial statements but are deemed important to the users
of the financial statements should be disclosed in the notes. These events could include significant
acquisitions or disposals of assets, the issuance or redemption of significant debt or equity instruments,
or changes in the entity's capital structure.
B) NON-DISCLOSED EVENTS:
Non-adjusted events that are not material and do not have a significant impact on the entity's financial
position are not required to be disclosed in the notes. These events may include minor business
transactions or events with minimal financial consequences.
Overall, IAS 10 aims to ensure that financial statements provide relevant and reliable information to
users by addressing the treatment of events that occur after the reporting period but before the financial
statements are authorized for issue.
(b) Calculation of Total Interest over Three Years, Investment Income on Surplus Funds, Borrowing
Cost to be Capitalized over Three Years, and Cost of Qualifying Assets:
To calculate the required figures, we need the interest rate, the principal amount, and the payment
schedule. Based on the given information, the loan amount is Rs. 150 million, the interest rate is 12%
per annum, and the construction was completed on June 30, 2015.
January 1: Rs. 150 million - (20 + 10) = Rs. 150 million - 30 = Rs. 149,970,000
April 1: Rs. 149,970,000
July 1: Rs. 149,970,000
2015:
In conclusion, the total interest over three years is Rs. 3,202,876.72, the investment income on surplus
funds is Rs. 2,391,030.09, the borrowing cost to be capitalized over three years is Rs. 3,202,876.72,
and the cost of qualifying assets is Rs. 3,352,876.72.
