Section B: Numerical / Practical Problems (50 Marks)

Q1: Revenue Recognition (Percentage-of-Completion Method)

  • Contract Value = ₹ 1,00,00,000
  • Costs incurred = ₹ 60,00,000
  • Estimated total cost = ₹ 90,00,000
  • Revenue recognized previously = ₹ 40,00,000

Step 1: % CompletionPercentage Completed=60,00,00090,00,000=66.67%\text{Percentage Completed} = \frac{60,00,000}{90,00,000} = 66.67\%Percentage Completed=90,00,00060,00,000​=66.67%

Step 2: Total Revenue to be recognizedRevenue to date=1,00,00,000×66.67%=66,67,000\text{Revenue to date} = 1,00,00,000 \times 66.67\% = 66,67,000Revenue to date=1,00,00,000×66.67%=66,67,000

Step 3: Revenue for this yearRevenue this year=66,67,00040,00,000=26,67,000\text{Revenue this year} = 66,67,000 – 40,00,000 = 26,67,000Revenue this year=66,67,000–40,00,000=26,67,000


Q2: Consolidation (80% Subsidiary)

  • Investment in S Ltd = ₹ 40,00,000
  • S Ltd Net Assets = Share Capital 50,00,000 + Reserves 20,00,000 = 70,00,000
  • Parent owns 80% → Share of Net Assets = 70,00,000 × 80% = 56,00,000

Step 1: Goodwill / Capital AdjustmentInvestment–Share of Net Assets=40,00,00056,00,000=16,00,000\text{Investment} – \text{Share of Net Assets} = 40,00,000 – 56,00,000 = -16,00,000Investment–Share of Net Assets=40,00,000–56,00,000=−16,00,000

No goodwill since investment < share of net assets → capital reserve

Step 2: Consolidated Balance Sheet

ParticularsAmount (₹)
Share Capital1,00,00,000
Reserves60,00,000 + 20,00,000 (subsidiary) = 80,00,000
Capital Reserve16,00,000
Total Liabilities & Equity1,96,00,000

Q3: Zero-Coupon Bonds (Effective Interest Method)

  • Face Value = ₹ 10,00,000, Issue Price = 90% → ₹ 9,00,000
  • Market rate = 12%

Step 1: Initial Recognition

Dr. Cash 9,00,000
Cr. Bonds Payable 9,00,000

Step 2: Amortization (Effective Interest)
