Suggested AnswersFinancial Statement Analysis (CFA560): January 2008

Answer Reason

1. D Capital is the contribution made by the owner(s) in the business and is regarded as a liability to thebusiness in the nature of owners equity. The underlying feature for this treatment is the distinction

between the owner(s) and that of the business owned by them, as a result of which the business is vested

with an implied obligation to repay such sum to the owner(s). The accountants methodology ofascertaining and reporting results of business helps in comprehending the concept of capitalmaintenance. The surplus in the form of income alone is available for consumption while the capital is to

be maintained intact. Hence, the answer is (d)

< TOP >

2. C Selling office furniture which is a fixed asset for cash whether at a profit or loss will increase the current

assets of a business and improves the position of current ratio. Thus, alternative (c) is the correctanswer. The transactions in other alternatives either decrease current ratio or do not affect the ratio and

are incorrect answers. Purchase of a fixed asset on credit (a) and Redemption of preference shares (b)

decreases the current ratio and Acceptance of bills of exchange drawn by creditors (e) and Purchase of

stock-in-trade for cash (d) do not change the current ratio.

< TOP >

3. D Revenue manipulation can be done by not recognizing rebates or discounts. All the other help in expense

manipulation: (a) Cookie-jar accounting, (b) Capitalizing revenue costs, (c) Understating liabilities and(e) Non-current assets depreciation.

< TOP >

4. D According to consistency quality of the qualitative characteristics of financial statements, the use of

items. Significant diversities are also observed in the following areas (a) Accounting for Brands, (b)

Accounting for Joint Ventures, (d) Treatment of Goodwill and (e) Treatment of Taxation in Accounts.Hence, the correct answer is (c).

< TOP >

6. B Deferred tax should be recognised for all the timing differences. In the instant case the timing difference

between taxable income and accounting income is

Excess depreciation as per tax 3,00,000

Less Expenses provided in taxable income 5,600

Timing Difference Rs. 2,94,400

As tax expense is more than the current tax due to timing difference of Rs. 2,94,400,

Therefore deferred tax liability = 40% of Rs.2,94,400 = Rs.1,17,760 shall be credited in accounts.

< TOP >

7. C Short-term receivables and some inventories are reported on the basis of their net realizable (settlement)value. Hence, the answer is (c).

< TOP >

8. C The currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates normally that is the

currency of the environment in which an entity primarily generates and expends cash is called functionalcurrency.

< TOP >

9. C If variable cost increases, contribution per unit decreases, break-even point will be increased, providedsales price per unit and fixed cost remain same. Other options given in (a), (b), (d) and (e) are not

correct.

< TOP >

10. D The factors which cause the diversity in accounting practices of different countries are the following

(a) Political and economic factors, (b) Cultural differences, (c) Difference in taxation and (e) Differencein legal systems. Difference in use of finance is incorrect factor. Difference in source of finance if the

11. B Equity method is adopted in accounting for investments of the investor, when the investor has significant

influence over the investee. Cost method (a) is the method where in the acquisition of any asset isreported in the books at its historical cost. And it is not the appropriate method to account for the

investments where the investor has significant influence. Amortized cost method (c) is a method where

in the cost of the asset is amortized over its useful life and is not the appropriate method. Super profit

method (d) is one of the methods of valuation of goodwill. Market method (e) is a method of accountingfor non-influential investments and is not the method of accounting for investments of the investor when

the investor has significant influence over the investee. Thus, (b) is the correct answer.

< TOP >

12. C Payment of dividend, purchase of land for cash, receipt of interest on short term investments andpurchase of investment property by cheque imply cash flow, where as when stock is issued in exchange

for a building, no cash flow takes place hence is a non cash investing activity. Hence (c) is the correct

answer.

< TOP >

13. A The investments that are considered as held-to-maturity are to be accounted for by adopting the cost

method which would be requiring that they be carried at the amortized cost using the effective interestmethod.

< TOP >

14. B Any income or loss with holding of trading securities, the deferred tax effect must be shown in the

income statement. Since the gain is a non cash transaction it will not effect the Cash flow statement.

< TOP >

15. C The post retirement benefit costs include the following components except effect of any curtailments orsettlements. The post retirement benefit costs include (a) Service costs, (b) Interest costs, (d)

Amortization of transition obligation and (e) Amortization of net gains and losses. Effect of any

curtailments or settlements is the component of the net retirement benefits. Hence, the answer is (c).

activities are:

Rs.

Purchase of inventory in stock (26,000)

Sale of inventory in stock 35,000

Acquisition of CD (50,000)

Net cash used (41,000)

The gain on sale of investments in Royal Motors (Rs.35,000 Rs.33,000 = Rs.2,000), the interest earned

(Rs.3,750), and dividends earned (Rs.1,200) are all operating items. Note that the sale of investments is

reported in the investing section at the cash inflow amount (Rs.35,000), not at the carrying value of theinvestment (Rs.33,000). If the CD had been for three months instead of four years, it would be part of

Cash and Cash equivalents and would not be shown under investing activities.

21. C As the company has incurred a loss of Rs. 5 lakhs which is also the loss as per Income Tax Act, the

company should have created the deferred tax assets for Rs. 1,50,000 (30% of 5 lakhs). Deferred taxshould be recognised and carried forward only to the extent that there is a reasonable certainty that

sufficient future taxable income will be available against which such deferred tax assets can be realised.

In this case the company does not expect sufficient future taxable income, therefore the company is notrequired to create deferred tax assets or liability to fully comply with the requirement of AS-22.

< TOP >

22. D AS-3 states that the financing and investment activities that do not require the use of cash or cash

equivalents should be excluded from the cash flow statements. Since the conversion of long term loan to

cost or market value in recognition of conservatism concept (e) The financial statements provide

information not only the amount cash payments or receipts during the reporting period, but also the cashpayable or receivable in the reporting period are true statements. Thus, the correct answer is (a).

< TOP >

26. E (a) Employee Pension and Other Retirement Benefit Schemes, (b) Big-Bath accounting, (c) Accounting

for inventories and (d) Understating liabilities help in expense manipulation. Overstatement of value ofaccounts receivables helps in revenue manipulation. Hence, the answer is (e).

27. C To compute free cash flows for creditors, cash flows before interest are calculated and not after interest.

All the other statements (a) They are the discretionary cash flows that remain once the firm has replaced

its productive capacity, (b) Its computation is helpful to the investors in ascertaining the cash flow that

can be distributed to them as dividends, (d) Creditors are also interested in cash flows as it represents the

amount available with the firm for repayments to creditors and (e) The larger the firms free cash flows,the healthier it is because it has more cash available for growth, debt payment and dividends are all true

statements regarding free cash flows. Hence, the answer is (c).

< TOP >

28. C The excess of the cost of the acquired entity over the fair value of the acquired net assets is goodwill. As

49. C Total assets of the company = Rs.25 lakh + Rs.40 lakh = Rs.65 lakh and so the amount of EBIT

registered by the company = Rs.65 lakh 12 percent = Rs.7.80 lakh.

Now, interest paid by the company against the debt capital = Rs.40 lakh 9 percent = Rs.3.60 lakh.

Hence, the earnings before taxes is = Rs.7.80 lakh Rs.3.60 lakh = Rs.4.20 lakh and the net profit for

the company = Rs.4.20 lakh 0.60 = Rs.2.52 lakh.

Therefore, the earnings after tax per share will be = Rs.2.52.

57. B The rent on operating lease is to be amortized on the basis of straight line method unless any othersuitable method is found. In the given case, Tarun Ltd. is required to pay Rs.10,000 per month for 6 years

except the first 9 months i.e. (72 9) months. Thus the total lease rental expense for Tarun Ltd. is Rs.(63 x10,000) = Rs.6,30,000. Applying the straight line method the rent expense for the year ending 31st

March, 2008 will be Rs.(6,30,000/6) = Rs.1,05,000.

= Rs.1,20,00,000/80,000 = Rs.150Value as per yield method = Rate of dividend/Normal dividend x value of share

= 15%/12% x Rs.100 = Rs.125

Value of share as per fair value method = (Rs.150 + Rs.125)/2 = Rs.137.50

60. D The requirement is to compute the diluted EPS for 2007. Therefore, all potential common shares that

reduce current EPS must be included in the computation. The formula for diluted EPS is

goutstandinsharescommonaverageWeighted

rsshareholdecommontoavailableincomeNet

The net income available to common shareholders is Rs.32,00,000. This is the net income after preferred

dividends of Rs.2,00,000. The weighted-average common shares outstanding is 12,50,000. This iscomputed as the actual common shares outstanding for the full year of 12,00,000 plus the contingent

common shares of 50,000 that were outstanding for the full year because the contingency was incurred

in 2005.

Thus, Diluted EPS = Rs.32,00,000/12,50,000 = Rs.2.56.

62. C Projected Benefit Obligation for the year 2006 with 5% in salary

Salary on the date of retirement = Rs.30,000 2.527 (PV of lump sum table @ 5%) = Rs.75,810.

Annual pension based on salary at the time of retirement = Rs.75,810 (1 52) 2 = Rs.2,915.8

Present value of pension benefit as on December 31, 2025 = Rs.2,915.8 6,710 = Rs.19,565

Present value of pension as on December 31, 2006 = Rs.19,565 0.250 = Rs.4,891

63. A The minimum liability is equal to the excess of ABO over the fair value of plan assets:

Minimum liability = ABO fair value of plan assets

= Rs.125 lakh Rs.100 lakh = Rs.25 lakh.

Minimum liability allowance or additional minimum liability to be created will be:

Minimum liability required minus the net pension liability reported:

Rs.25 lakh Rs.9 lakh = Rs.16 lakh.

The net pension liability to be reported in the balance sheet will be Rs.25 lakh.

67. E The amount of temporary difference is the difference of the taxable income and the financial income and

it is (Rs.90,000 76,000) = Rs.14,000. As there is a possibility of only 75% to be realized, the amount to be realized is 75% of Rs.14,000 = Rs.10,500. Thus the deferred tax asset is 30% of Rs.10,500 i.e.

Rs.3,150.

< TOP >

68. C If net income after bonus and income tax is Rs.2,40,000, income before taxes can be computed by

dividing Rs.2,40,000 by 1 minus the tax rate.

Income before taxes = Rs.2,40,000/(10.40) = Rs.4,00,000

The bonus is equal to 10 percent of income before income tax but after the bonus.

The Rs.4,00,000 computed above is income before tax but after all other expenses including the bonus.Therefore, the bonus must be Rs.40,000 (10% Rs.4,00,000).
