is repayable over a period of 5 years. The terms and conditions of the loan
agreement requires the company to maintain a current ratio of 1.33 : 1 and
debt-equity ratio of 1 : 2. If these loan covenants fall below this level, then

ratio of ABC Ltd. was 1 : 1 and debt equity ratio was 0.5 : 2. State Bank sent

of terms of the loan agreement. The financials were signed on 10 May,
20X3.
On receiving the notice, the CFO of ABC Ltd. negotiated with the bank and
ensured to rectify the breach. As a result, on 25 April, 20X3, the Bank has
agreed not to recall the loan and allowed the Company to achieve the
contracted current and debt-equity ratio by 20X5.
(ii) ABC Ltd. has inventory of raw material Y of 10,000 units as at 31 March,
20X4 with a carrying amount of ` 100 each. The current market value of that
raw material is ` 95 each. ABC Ltd. will use the raw material to manufacture
a component for a customer. The conversion cost for making the finished
goods would be ` 130 each. ABC Ltd. estimates costs to completion and
sale of ` 50 each and a selling price for the component is estimated to be
` 290 each.

were already stated at no more than their recoverable amounts.
DEF Ltd. offered the business for sale at a price of ` 46.5 million, which was
considered to be reasonably achievable. DEF Ltd. estimated that the direct
costs of selling the business would be ` 5,00,000. These estimates have
not changed since 1 June 20X2 and DEF Ltd. estimates that the business
will be sold by 31 March 20X3 at the latest.

the development of the factory.

inducement to DEF Ltd. to begin developing the factory. No conditions
were attached to this part of the grant.
(2) ` 15 million of the grant related to the construction of the factory at a
cost of ` 60 million. The land was leased so the whole of the
` 60 million is depreciable over the estimated 40 year useful life of the
factory.

option in the below questions 5 to 8 in line with relevant Ind AS:
5. Compute the value of Specialty chemical division’s Goodwill at the date of

recognized immediately in the income statement since the company is
certain to build the factory.
(b) Deduct the grant received from the cost of the asset and depreciate the
net carrying value over its useful economic life.
(c) Show the grant as a deferred credit and leave the initial carrying value
of the property at ` 60 million. Thereafter the deferred credit would be

machine, namely 'model pi' on 1 st April 20X1 and to service this
machine on 30 th September 20X1 and 1st April 20X2. The cost of

Mr. Anik is expected to cost A Ltd. ` 30,000 to perform the first service
and ` 50,000 to perform the second service. Assume actual costs equal
expected costs. When A Ltd. provides machine services to customers
in a separate transaction it earns a margin of 50% on cost. On 1 st April,
20X1, the cash selling price of the machine 'model pi' sold to Mr. Anik
is ` 2,51,927.

6. (a) As at 31 March 20X4, M Ltd. had a plan to dispose off its 75%
subsidiary D Ltd. This plan had been approved by the board and was
reported in the media as well as to the Stock Exchange where M Ltd.
was listed. It is expected that J Ltd., the non-controlling shareholder in
Di Ltd. holding 25% stake, will acquire the 75% equity interest as well.
The sale is expected to be completed by October 20X4. D Ltd. is
expected to have substantial trading losses in the period up to the sale.
Mr. X, a chartered accountant, who is an employee in the finance
department of M Ltd., wishes to show D Ltd. as held for sale in the
financial statements and to create a restructuring provision to include
the expected costs of disposal and future trading losses. However, the
Chief Operating Officer (COO) does not wish D Ltd. to be categorized
as held for sale nor to provide for the expected losses. The COO is
concerned as to how this may affect the sales and would surely result
in bonus targets not being met. He has argued that as the
management, it is his duty to secure a high sales price to maximize the
return for shareholders of M Ltd. He has also hinted that Mr. X’s job
could be at stake if such a provision were to be made in the financial
statements. The expected costs from the sale are as follows:
Future Trading Losses: ₹ 50 crores
Various legal costs of sale ₹ 3.75 crores
Redundancy costs for D Ltd.’s employees ₹ 10 crores
Impairment losses on Property, Plant and Equipment ₹ 17.50 crores
Required:
(i) Discuss the accounting treatment which M Ltd. should adopt to
address the issue above for the financial statements.
(ii) Discuss the ethical issues which may arise in the above scenario,
including any actions which M Ltd. and Mr. X should take.

• Q Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of P Ltd., incurred a loss
adjusted for tax purposes of ` 10,00,000. Q Ltd. is unable to utilise
this loss against previous tax liabilities. Income-tax Act does not
allow Q Ltd. to transfer the tax loss to other group companies.
However, it allows Q Ltd. to carry the loss forward and utilise it

against company’s future taxable profits. The directors of P Ltd.
do not consider that Q Ltd. will make taxable profits in the
foreseeable future.
• During the year ended 31 st March, 20X2, P Ltd. capitalised
development costs which satisfied the criteria as per Ind AS 38
‘Intangible Assets’. The total amount capitalised was ` 20,00,000.
The development project began to generate economic benefits for
P Ltd. from 1 st January, 20X2. The directors of P Ltd. estimated
that the project would generate economic benefits for five years
from that date. The development expenditure was fully deductible
against taxable profits for the year ended 31 st March, 20X2.
• On 1st April, 20X1, P Ltd. borrowed ` 1,00,00,000. The cost to
P Ltd. of arranging the borrowing was ` 2,00,000 and this cost
qualified for a tax deduction on 1 st April 20X1. The loan was for a
three-year period. No interest was payable on the loan but the
amount repayable on 31 st March 20X4 will be ` 1,30,43,800. This
equates to an effective annual interest rate of 10%. As per the
Income-tax Act, a further tax deduction of ` 30,43,800 will be
claimable when the loan is repaid on 31 st March, 20X4.
Explain and show how each of these events would affect the deferred
tax assets / liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet of P Ltd. group
at 31st March, 20X2 as per Ind AS. The rate of corporate income tax is
30%. (5 Marks)

information pertaining to the year ended 31 st March, 20X2 to SEBI as
per SEBI regulations on 20 th April, 20X2. Since, certain financial

‘after the reporting period’. Whether the management view is correct
