PRIME ACADEMY 44th SESSION – IPC - PROGRESS TEST – ACCOUNTING

SUGGESTED ANSWERS PART – A

1. A. Fixed capital method

In fixed capital method, generally initial capital contributions by the partners are credited to partners capital accounts and all subsequent transactions and events are dealt with through current accounts, unless a decision is taken to change it, initial capital account balance is not changed. In fluctuating capital method, no current account is maintained. All such transactions and events are passed through capital accounts. Naturally capital account balance of the partners fluctuate every time. So in fluctuating capital method capital fluctuates all the time

B. There are four methods of valuation of goodwill namely

Average profit method Super profit method

Annuity method Capitalization method

Under Annuity method time value of money is considered. So under annuity method, discounted value of super profit is computed to arrive at goodwill.

C. Method 2 - Average Profit method Year Profit Weight Weighted profit 2009 120,000 1 120,000

2010 125,000 2 250,000 2011 130000 3 390000 2012 150,000 4 600,000 10 13,60,000

Weighted average profit = 13,60,000/10 = 136000 Method 2 – Super profits Average profits = 136,000 Normal profits = 20% of 500,000 = 100,000 Goodwill = 36,000 Method 3 – Annuity method 36000 * 2.1065 = 75834 Method 4 – Capitalization method Normal value of capital employed = 680,000 (136000 * 100/20) Capital employed in M/s Lee and Lawson = 500,000 Goodwill = Rs. 180,000

D. I. All assets and liabilities of transferor company become after amalgamation the assets and liabilities of

transferee company II. Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the face value of equity shares of the transferor company

become equity shareholders of the transferee company by virtue of amalgamation III. The consideration for the amalgamation receivable by those equity shareholders of the transferor

company who agree to become equity shareholders of the transferee company is discharged by the transferee company wholly by issue of equity shares in the transferee except that cash may be paid in respect of any fractional shares.

IV. The business of the transferor company is intended to be carried on, after the amalgamation, by the

transferee company. V. No adjustment is intended to be made to the book values of the assets and liabilities of the transferor

company when they are incorporated in the financial statements of the transferee company except to

ensure uniformity of accounting policies.

E. Amalgamation Adjustment account is created in Purchase method of accounting. No reserves, other than statutory reserves, of the transferor company should be incorporated in the financial statements of Transferee Company. Statutory reserves of the transferor company should be incorporated in the balance sheet of Transferee Company by way of the following journal entry. Amalgamation Adjustment A/c Dr. To Statutory Reserves A/c. When the above statutory reserves will no longer be required to be maintained by Transferee Company, such reserves will be eliminated by reversing the above entry.

F. No. Purchase consideration does not include amount paid to creditors or debenture holders of the Company. For the purpose of accounting for amalgamations, we are essentially guided by AS-14 ‘Accounting for Amalgamations’. Para 3(g) of AS 14 defines the term purchase consideration as the “aggregate of the shares and other securities issued and the payment made in the form of cash or other assets by the transferee company to the shareholders of the transferor company”. In simple words, it is the price payable by the transferee company to the transferor company for taking over the business of the transferor company.

G. The following statutory books are required to be maintained by a company under different sections of the Companies Act, 2013:

♦ Register of Investments of the company held in its own name (Section 187).

♦ Register of Charges (Section 85).

♦ Register of Members (Sections 88).

2. Definition of a Private Company: According to Section 2 (68) of the Companies Act, 2013 a 'private company' means a company which has a minimum paid-up capital as may be prescribed and which by its Articles: (a) Restricts the right to transfer its shares if any. (b) Limits the number of its members to 200 not including its employee members (present or past) [Joint holders of shares are treated as a single member].

4. There are two circumstances in which OPC shall get converted into a private or a public company. 1. Compulsory Conversion

a. Where paid up capital exceeds Rs 50 lakhs or b. Where the average annual turnover for the past 3 financial years exceeds Rs.2 Crores

or c. Where the balance sheet total exceeds Rs 1 Crore The OPC shall give notice of its conversion to the ROC within 30 days.

2. Voluntary Conversion An OPC can also voluntarily get converted into a private or a public company.

5. Section 2 (87) of the Companies Act 2013 lays down the circumstances under which a company

becomes a subsidiary company of another company which becomes its holding company. These circumstances are as under: (a) When the holding company controls the composition of Board of Directors of the subsidiary company or companies (b) When the holding company exercises or controls more than one half of the total share capital

either on its own or together with one or more of its subsidiary companies (c) Where a company is the holding company of the company which fulfils any of the above

conditions, e.g., if A Ltd. is the holding company of B Ltd., but C Ltd. is the holding company of A Ltd., then B Ltd. will automatically become a subsidiary of C Ltd.

6. Where a company is formed and registered under this Act for a future project or to hold an asset

or intellectual property and has no significant accounting transaction for the last 2 years, such company can make an application to the ROC for obtaining the status of a dormant company.

PART B 1. Corporate Veil: After incorporation, the company in the eyes of law becomes a different person

from the shareholders who have formed the company. The company has its own existence and as a result the shareholders cannot be held liable for the acts of the company even though they hold the entire share capital of the company. This recognition of the company as a separate legal entity and being liable for its own acts and liabilities is known as the “Corporate Veil”. However, under certain exceptional circumstances the courts lift or pierce the corporate veil by ignoring the separate entity of the company and the promoters and other persons who have managed and controlled the affairs of the company. Thus, when the corporate veil is lifted by the courts, the promoters and persons exercising control over the affairs of the company are held personally liable for the acts and debts of the company. In the following circumstances, corporate veil can be lifted by the courts and promoters can be held personally liable for the debts of the company. (i) Trading with enemy country. (ii) Evasion of taxes. (iii) (iii) Forming a subsidiary company to act as its agent. (iv) The benefit of limited liability is destroyed by reducing the number of members below 7 in

the case of public company and 2 in the case of private company for more than six months. (v) Under law relating to exchange control. (vi) Device of incorporation is adopted to defraud creditors or to avoid legal obligations

2. Holding, subsidiary relationship: In terms of section 2 (87) of the Companies Act 2013, a company

will be the subsidiary of a company which holds a majority of shares in it through its subsidiary company or companies. In this case XYZ Pvt Ltd. and BCL Pvt Ltd. together hold a majority of equity shares in AVS Pvt Ltd. and both these companies are subsidiaries of TSR Pvt Ltd it will have a majority stake in the composition of the Board of Directors of AVS Pvt Ltd. Hence, TSR Pvt, Ltd will be treated as the holding company of AVS Pvt Ltd.

3. Ethics is derived from a Greek word “ethos” meaning character. Ethics follow from personally accepted principles. Moral is derived from a Greek word “mos” meaning “custom”. Custom means behaviour developed by a group over a period of time. They are generally accepted from an authority (cultural, religious, etc). They generally work on a smaller scale addressing human needs.

4. The objects for which a company is formed are laid down in the Object Clause of the Memorandum of Association. These objects define the limits of activities of the company and as a legal entity a company cannot operate outside the ambit defined in its objects clause in the Memorandum. The objects clauses are classified into Main objectives and other objectives. A company therefore, is empowered to do only such acts which are: (a) within the framework of the Memorandum i.e. stated in clear terms in the objects clause in

the Memorandum of Association of the company, or (b) reasonably and fairly incidental to the attainment of its main objects, or (c) Which are otherwise authorised by the Companies Act. If the company does any act which is not covered under the above three categories, such acts shall be beyond the power of the company and shall be declared ultravires the Memorandum of the Company. The term ultravires means “beyond the powers”. A company being an artificial legal person cannot operate outside the powers given to it in its objects clause and any contract which is ultra vires shall be void ab initio. Implications of ultra vires Acts: The implications of ultra vires contracts are as under: (1) Neither party can enforce the contract (2) It is an established legal requirement that persons entering into contracts with the company must satisfy themselves that the terms of the same are within the powers of the company and not ultra vires.

(3) There is no claim on the part of any party to enforce an ultra vires contract nor can he claim any compensation.

(4) There is no personal liability on the part of the directors of the company unless they have represented an ultra vires contract fraudulently as a permissible one.

5. Every company has a right to alter its articles by following a simple process laid down in section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013. Generally speaking the right of a company to alter its Articles is without and restriction. However, section 14 of the Act limits the right of the company to alter its Articles by imposing the following restrictions:

(i) The alteration cannot override its Memorandum or in any way conflict with the provisions thereof.

PRIME A

CADEMY

(ii) It cannot not be in violation of any provision of the Companies Act or any other statute.

(iii) It cannot allow an activity which is illegal (as a company can be formed only for a lawful object).

(iv) An alteration to the Articles cannot increase the liability of its member which has been already defined in the Memorandum

6. Under Section 2 (85) of the Companies Act, 2013, “small company” means a company, other than a public company:- (i) having paid-up share capital not exceeding fifty lakh rupees or such higher amount as may be

prescribed which shall not be more than five crore rupees; and (ii) having turnover as per its last profit and loss account not exceeding two crore rupees or such

higher amount as may be prescribed which shall not be more than twenty crore rupees. Exceptions: This section shall not apply to: a) a holding company or a subsidiary company b) a company registered under section 8, or c) a company or body corporate governed by any special Act.

7. A shelf prospectus is a prospectus; hence it must comply with all the provisions of Section 26 of

the Act which lays down the matters to be included in a prospectus and filing of the same with the Registrar. It must also comply with the other relevant and applicable sections of the Act to a prospectus. A shelf prospectus may be issued by a class of companies only if and subject to the regulations of SEBI; A shelf prospectus can have a validity of a maximum period of one year during which time the company may bring out a number of issue of securities, all covered by the same prospectus. The validity of a shelf prospectus of a maximum period of one year shall commence from the date on opening of the first offer. A company filing a shelf prospectus with the Registrar shall not be required to file prospectus afresh at every stage of offer of securities by it within a period of validity of such shelf prospectus. However, under section 31 (2), a company shall be required to file an information memorandum on all material facts relating to new charges created, changes in the financial position of the company as have occurred between the first offer of securities or any previous offer of securities and the succeeding offer of securities and such other changes as may be prescribe, with the Registrar within the prescribed time, prior to the issue of a second or subsequent offer of securities under the shelf prospectus. Section 31 (3) states that where an information memorandum is filed every time an offer of securities is made, such memorandum together with the shelf prospectus shall be deemed to be the prospectus

8. There are many benefits of paying attention to business ethics: a. Improved society: A few decades ago, children and workers were ruthlessly exploited. Trusts

controlled some markets to the extent that prices were fixed and small businesses stifled. Influence was applied through intimidation and harassment. Then society reacted and demanded that businesses place high value on ethics, fairness and equal rights resulting in framing of anti-trust laws, establishment of Government agencies and recognition of labour unions

b. Easier Change management: Attention to business ethics is critical during times of fundamental change - times like those faced presently by businesses, whether non profit or for-profit. During times of change, there is often no clear moral compass to guide leaders through complex conflicts about what is right or wrong. Continuing attention to ethics in the workplace sensitizes leaders and staff for maintaining consistency in their actions.

c. Strong teamwork and greater productivity: Ongoing attention and dialogue regarding values in the workplace builds openness, integrity and community, all critical ingredients of strong teams in the workplace. Employees feel a strong alignment between their values and those of the organization resulting in strong motivation and better performance.

d. Enhanced employee growth: Attention to ethics in the workplace helps employees face the reality, both good and bad in the organization and gain the confidence of dealing with complex work situations.

e. Ethics programs help guarantee that personnel policies are legal: A major objective of personnel policies is to ensure ethical treatment of employees

f. Ethics programs help to avoid criminal acts “of omission” and can lower fines. Ethics programs help to detect ethical issues and violations early, so that they can be reported or addressed.

g. Ethics programs help to manage values associated with quality management, strategic planning and diversity management.

h. Ethics helps to promote a strong public image

9. The company has received 80% of the minimum subscription as stated in the prospectus. Hence, the allotment is in contravention of section 39(1) of the Companies Act, 2013 which prohibits a company from making any allotment of securities until it has received the amount of minimum subscription stated in the prospectus. Under section 39 (3), it is required to refund the money received (i.e. 80% of the minimum subscription) to the applicants. It has no other option available. Therefore, in the present case X is within his rights refuses to accept the allotment of shares which has been illegally made by the company.

10. ‘Underwriting’ is a contract entered into between the company and certain parties (called underwriters) whereby the underwriters guarantee to purchase or get investors to purchase the whole or an agreed portion of the securities that are not applied for by the public for subscription. In consideration of this guarantee the company pays a commission to the underwriters as a percentage of the value of the shares offered to the public. The consideration payable to the underwriters for underwriting the issue of shares or debentures of a company is called underwriting commission. Such a commission is paid at a specified rate on the issue price of the whole of the shares or debentures underwritten whether or not the underwriters are called upon to take up any shares or debentures. Thus, the underwriters are paid for the risk they bear in the placing of shares before the public. Underwriting commission may be in addition to brokerage. Under 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, subject to the following conditions which are prescribed under the Companies (Prospectus and Allotment of Securities) Rules, 2014: i. the payment of such commission shall be authorized in the company’s articles of association;

ii. the commission may be paid out of proceeds of the issue or the profit of the company or both;

iii. 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, and in case of debentures, shall not exceed two and a half per cent (2.5 %) of the price at which the debentures are issued, or as specified in the company’s articles, whichever is less;

iv. the prospectus of the company shall disclose - i. the name of the underwriters; ii. the rate and amount of the commission payable to the underwriter; and iii. the number of securities which is to be underwritten or subscribed by the underwriter absolutely or conditionally.

v. there shall not be paid commission to any underwriter on securities which are not offered to the public for subscription;

vi. a copy of the contract for the payment of commission is delivered to the Registrar at the time of delivery of the prospectus for registration. Thus, the Underwriting commission is limited to 5% of issue price in case of shares and 2.5% in case of debentures. The rates of commission given above are maximum rates. The company is free to negotiate lower rates with underwriters.

PART – B 1.

(i) The limit for attracting disallowance under section 40A(3) for payment otherwise than by way of account payee cheque or account payee bank draft is ` 35,000 in case of payment made for plying, hiring or leasing goods carriage. Therefore, in the present case, disallowance under section 40A(3) is not attracted in respect of payment of ` 30,000 made in cash to a transporter for carriage of goods.

(ii) The Explanation below section 37(1) denies claim of any expenses, if the same has been incurred for a purpose which is either an offence or prohibited by law. The Central Board of Direct Taxes has, through Circular No. 5/2012 dated 1-8-2012, has clarified that such expenditure are not allowable as per section 37(1) after considering the fact that the claim of any expense incurred in providing freebees to medical practitioner is in violation of the provisions of Indian Medical Council (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002. Therefore, the expenditure so incurred shall be inadmissible under section 37(1) of the Income-tax Act, 1961, being an expense prohibited by the law.

(iii) As per section 43B, municipal tax is not deductible for A.Y. 2017-18 since it is not paid on or before 30.10.2017, being the due date of filing the return for A.Y. 2017-18.

(iv) Weighted deduction @ 200% is available under section 35(2AB) in respect of expenditure incurred by a company on scientific research on in-house research and development facility as approved by the prescribed authority. However, cost of land is not eligible for deduction. Deduction under section 35(2AB) = 200% of ` 10 lakhs = `20,00,000. Note: It is presumed that the in-house research and development facility is approved by the prescribed authority and is hence, eligible for the weighted deduction @200% under section 35(2AB). It may be noted that the benefit of weighted deduction under section 35(2AB) has been extended to expenditure incurred up to 31.03.2017 by the Finance Act, 2012. Prior to the amendment, the deduction was restricted to expenditure incurred up to 31.03.2012.

(v) The salary expenditure is allowable while computing the income of the employer even though TDS has not been deposited within the due date under section 139(1). The disallowance under section 40(a)(ia) will not apply for non-deduction of tax at source from income chargeable under the head “Salaries”.

(vi) Depreciation under section 32 would be allowed on electric generator purchased @ 15%, which is the rate applicable for plant & machinery as per Income-tax Rules, 1962. Since it was put to use for more than 180 days in the year, full depreciation is allowable for A.Y. 2017-18. Further, as per section 32(1)(ia), additional depreciation is allowable in the case of new plant or machinery acquired and installed after 31.03.2005 by an assessee engaged, inter alia, in generation of power, at the rate of 20% of the actual cost of such plant or machinery. Therefore, allowable depreciation under section 32 would be – Normal depreciation (` 50 lakhs x 15%) ` 7,50,000 Additional depreciation (`50 lakhs x 20%) ` 10,00,000

` 17,50,000 2.

Basic salary 3,60,000

Dearness Allowance 1,20,000 Employers’ contribution to Central Government Pension Scheme (3,000 x 12) 36,000 Professional tax paid by employer 3,000

Concessional accommodation (See Notes 1 & 2) Nil Value of concessional educational facility (4,000 x 12) (See Note 3) 48,000 Transport allowance (24000 – 9600) 14,400

------------------ Gross Salary 5,81,400

Less : Deduction under section 16(iii) Professional tax 3,000 -------------------

Income from Salary 5,78,400 ------------------

Notes: (1) For computation of perquisite value of concessional accommodation, 40% of dearness

allowance (i.e. `48,000) should be taken into consideration as forming part of salary, since the question clearly mentions that only 40% is to be reckoned for superannuation benefits. Therefore, salary for the purpose of perquisite valuation would be `4,08,000 [i.e., (`3,60,000 + 48,000].

(2) In a case where the accommodation is taken on lease or rent by the employer and provided to the employee, the value of perquisite would be lower of the actual amount of lease rental paid or payable by the employer [i.e. `1,08,000, being 9,000 x 12) and 15% of salary [ i.e., `61,200, being 15% of `2,88,000]. This value (i.e. `61,800) would be reduced by the rent paid by the employee (i.e., `72,000, being 6,000 x 12).

The value of concessional accommodation is Nil [i.e. ` 61,800 – ̀ 72,00]. (3) In determining the value of perquisite resulting from the provision of free or concessional

educational facilities, from a plain reading of the proviso to Rule 3(5), it is possible to take a view that if the cost of education per child exceeds ` 1,000 per month, the entire cost will be taken as the value of the perquisite. Accordingly, the full amount of ` 4,000 per month is taxable as perquisite. It has been assumed that the education is provided free-of-cost to Mr.Rajesh’s son since the question is silent regarding the same. In such a case, the value of the perquisite would be ` 48,000 (i.e. ` 2,000 × 12).

5. The term “Assessee” under Section 2(7) of the Income means a person by whom any tax or any

other sum of money is payable under the Income Tax Act, and includes – a) every person in respect of whom any proceeding under this Act has been taken for the assessment of his income [or assessment of fringe benefits] or of the income of any other person in respect of which he is assessable, or of the loss sustained by him or by such other person, or of the amount of refund due to him or to such other person; b) every person who is deemed to be an assessee under any provision of this Act; c) every person who is deemed to be an assessee in default under any provision of this Act. Scope of Total Income [Sec 5): Scope of total income is according to residential status of assessee. 1. Resident in India/ ordinarily resident in India: A person is assessable to tax in respect of income which i. Is received or deemed to be received in India by him or on his behalf ii. Accrues or arises or deemed to accrue or arise to him in India iii. Accrues or arises to him outside India 2.
