and taken up by the existing holders at ` 90 for ` 100.
(e) ` 6,000 of directors loan is to be credited. The balance is to be settled by issue of 1,000 equity
shares of ` 2.50 each.

The fixed assets are heavily overvalued. A scheme of reorganization was prepared and passed. The
salient points of the scheme are the following:
(a) Each share shall be sub divided into ten fully paid equity shares of ` 10 each.
(b) After such sub division, each shareholder shall surrender to the company 90% of his holding, for
the purpose of reissue to debenture holders and creditors so far as required and otherwise for
cancellation.
(c) Of those surrendered 50,000 equity shares of ` 10 each, shall be converted into 8% preference
shares of ` 10 each fully paid for debenture holders.
(d) The debenture holders total claim shall be reduced to ` 5,00,000. This will be satisfied by the issue
of 50,000 preference shares of ` 10 each fully paid.
(e) The claim of sundry creditors shall be reduced by 80% and the balance shall be satisfied by allotting
them equity shares of ` 10 each fully paid from the shares surrendered.
(f ) Shares surrendered and not reissued shall be cancelled.
Assuming that the scheme is duly approved by all parties interested and by the court, draft necessary journal entries and Balance Sheet of the company after the scheme has been carried into

The company incurred additional expenses amounting to ` 6700 which reduced the loss in turnover.
There was also a saving during the indemnity period of ` 2450 in the insured standing charges as a
result of the fire.
There had been a considerable increase in trade since the date of the last annual accounts and it has

Total Loss
82,432
Step 8: CALCULATION OF INSURANCE CLAIM

TOTAL LOSS = 82,432
INSURANCE CLAIM = 82,432
(NOTE: There will be no application of average clause because policy is without average clause. In
addition, insured profits are higher than gross profit during 12 months preceding the date of fire.
So the amount of claim will be equal to total loss.)

QUESTION NO 18 (AS-13)
Define investment as per Accounting Standard-13. How investments are classified by AS-13? What are
the items not dealt with by AS-13?
ANSWER:
Meaning of Investments: AS-13 defines investments as assets held by an enterprise for:
r Earning income by way of dividends, interest, and rentals, e.g., investment in building let out
r Capital appreciation, e.g., increase in the value of land,
r Other benefits to the investing enterprise, e.g., to control the investee,
101
November 14, 2014
102
22:10
IPCC
r Not held as stock-in-trade, e.g., held by investment company not investment
AS-13 does not deal with:

r Bases for recognition of interest, dividends and rentals earned covered by AS-9;
r Operating or finance leases;
r Investments of retirement benefit plans and life insurance enterprises; and
r Mutual funds, banks and public financial institutions
Classification of investments: An enterprise should disclose current investments and long-term investments distinctly in its financial statements.
(i)
Current investment: A current investment is an investment that isb By its nature readily realizable, e.g., land & building are not readily realizable, and
b Intended to be held for not more than one year from the date of making such investment (Evi-
dence that held for not more than one year could be management representation)
Therefore, ready marketability is not the only criteria for classifying the investment in to current
or long term. To be classified as current investment, an investment must be made for a period not
more than one year.
(ii) Long-term investment: A long-term investment is an investment other than a current investment, e.g., investment in property such as land and building should be accounted for as long
term investment.
Further classification of current and long-term investments should be as specified in the statute
governing the enterprise. In the absence of a statutory requirement, such further classification
should disclose, where applicable, investments in:
b Government or Trust securities
b Shares, debentures or bonds
b Investment properties
b Othersspecifying nature
Briefly indicate, how would you determine the cost of investment?
ANSWER:
Cost of Investments: AS-13 lays down following with regard to determination of cost:
(i)
Acquisition against monetary consideration: The cost of an investment should include purchase
price and acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties.
It is also possible that an investment has been purchased on cum-interest or cum-dividend basis, the subsequent receipt of interest/dividend is allocated between pre-acquisition and postacquisition periods; the pre-acquisition portion is deducted from cost as it represents recovery of
cost.
November 14, 2014
22:10
(ii) Acquisition of right shares: When right shares are acquired, the cost of the right shares is added
to the carrying amount of the original holding. If rights are not acquired but sold in the market,
the sale proceeds are taken to the profit and loss account. However, where the investments are acquired on cum-right basis and the market value of investments immediately after their becoming
ex-right is lower than the cost for which they were acquired, it may be appropriate to apply the
sale proceeds of rights to reduce the carrying amount of such investments to the market value.
Summarize the provision contained in the Accounting Standard-13 in respect of valuation of investments in the financial statements.
ANSWER:
Valuation of Investments: Valuation depends upon classification of investments:
Current investments:
r Present in the financial statements at the lower of cost and fair value.
r Cost or fair value should be determined either on an individual investment basis (i.e., cost and fair
value of each investment should be compared separately) or by category of investment (all types
preference shares constitute a category), but not on an overall/global basis.
Long-term investments:
r Present at cost
r Provision for diminution (reduction) in the value of the investments, shall be made to recognise a
decline, other than temporary,

r Such reduction being determined on individual investment basis
Changes in Carrying Amounts of Investments:

Any reduction in the carrying amount and any reversals of such reductions should be charged or credited to the profit and loss account.
Disposal of Investments: On disposal of an investment, the difference between the carrying amount
and net disposal proceeds should be charged or credited to the profit and loss account.
When disposing of a part of the holding of an individual investment, the carrying amount to be allocated to that part is to be determined on the basis of the average carrying amount of the total holding
of the investment.
Briefly summarize the discloser requirements of Accounting Standard-13.
ANSWER:
Disclosure: The following information should be disclosed in the financial statements:
Accounting policies for valuation of investments;
103
November 14, 2014
104
22:10
IPCC
Classification of investments;
Amounts included in profit and loss account for interest, dividends from subsidiary companies, other
dividends and rentals separately from long term and current investments.

amount of such investments;
Significant restrictions on the right of ownership, realisability of investments or the remittance of income and proceeds of disposal;
Aggregate amount of quoted and unquoted investments along with market value;
Other disclosures as specifically required by the relevant statute.

price before right issue due to which the amount of sale of right has been adjusted in investment account

can also be transferred to profit and loss account in the absence of required information.
