Q.1 05 marks medium AS 9 - Revenue Recognition ⚡ Try this Q →
Raj Ltd. entered into an agreement with Heena Ltd. to dispatch goods worth ₹ 15,00,000 per month for next 6 months in receipt of entire payment. Heena Ltd. accordingly made the entire payment of ₹ 30,00,000 and Raj Ltd. started dispatching the goods. In fourth month, Heena Ltd. could not accept the goods dispatched so far but not dispatched goods until further notice. Due to this, Raj Ltd. is holding the remaining goods worth ₹ 15,00,000 ready for dispatch. Raj Ltd. accounted ₹ 15,00,000 as sales and transferred the balance to Advance received against Sales account. Comment upon the above treatment by Raj Ltd. with reference to the provisions of AS 9.

AS 9 Revenue Recognition requires:

Under AS 9, revenue from sale of goods shall be recognized when: (a) significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer; (b) the seller has no continuing managerial involvement or effective control; (c) revenue can be reliably measured; and (d) it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity.

Analysis of Raj Ltd.'s Treatment:

Raj Ltd.'s accounting is INCORRECT and does not comply with AS 9. The ₹15,00,000 recorded as sales is premature and unjustified. Here's why:

First, the ₹15,00,000 recognized as Sales is improper: The goods worth ₹15,00,000 remain with Raj Ltd. as "ready for dispatch." Since the buyer (Heena Ltd.) has REFUSED acceptance and the goods have not been delivered to the buyer, the significant risks and rewards of ownership have NOT transferred. Revenue cannot be recognized merely because goods are ready for dispatch. Per AS 9, physical dispatch of goods coupled with acceptance by the buyer is essential for revenue recognition.

Second, there is no reasonable certainty of realization: The buyer has explicitly refused to accept goods from month 4 onwards, creating uncertainty about ultimate cash realization. This breach of contract or suspension creates a contingency. AS 9 requires reasonable certainty of ultimate realization in cash or cash equivalents. The buyer's refusal negates this certainty for the undisputed goods.

Third, the accounting conflates payment received with delivery accepted: The ₹30,00,000 advance should be matched ONLY with goods actually delivered and accepted by the buyer. For months 1 and 2, if goods were delivered and accepted, revenue of ₹30,00,000 could have been recognized against this advance. The goods dispatched in month 3 (if any) that were rejected, and the ₹15,00,000 yet to be dispatched, must NOT be recognized as revenue.

Correct Treatment under AS 9:

1. Revenue should be recognized only for goods delivered and accepted: If goods worth ₹30,00,000 (months 1–2) were delivered and accepted by Heena Ltd., this amount should be recognized as revenue and the advance matched against it.

2. Rejected/on-hold goods should NOT be recognized as sales: The goods worth ₹15,00,000 (month 3 onwards) that were refused or remain on hold should NOT be included in sales revenue. These goods remain the asset of Raj Ltd.

3. Treatment of unmatched advance: Any portion of the ₹30,00,000 advance that exceeds accepted goods should continue to be shown as "Advance received against sales" (a liability), not reclassified based on goods merely ready for dispatch.

4. Subsequent resolution: Once the dispute is resolved—either the buyer accepts the goods or the contract is cancelled—appropriate adjustments should be made. If the buyer ultimately refuses, the goods should be adjusted as returned inventory, and the advance should be refunded or adjusted accordingly.

Conclusion: Raj Ltd.'s accounting is incorrect. It violates the fundamental principle of AS 9 by recognizing revenue before significant risks and rewards transfer and without reasonable certainty of realization.

1The skeleton

- Lead with AS 9's four conditions for revenue recognition — don't start with the story; state the law first so the examiner knows you know where you're going.
- Pin the exact violation: 'significant risks and rewards have NOT transferred' — use this phrase verbatim because examiners tick it specifically; 'goods ready for dispatch' is NOT a transfer.
- Call out the buyer's refusal as the deal-breaker — Heena Ltd. refusing acceptance means no delivery, no economic benefit inflow, so both AS 9 triggers fail simultaneously; say both, don't just say one.
- Address the ₹30,00,000 advance correctly — distinguish what portion is legitimately earned (months where goods were accepted) vs. what must stay as 'Advance received against Sales'; this is where marks hide.
- End with a crisp one-line verdict: 'Treatment by Raj Ltd. is incorrect and not in accordance with AS 9' — examiners want a conclusion sentence, not just analysis hanging in the air.

2Examiner-rewarded phrases

“significant risks and rewards of ownership have not been transferred to the buyer”“revenue shall be recognised only when it is reasonably certain that the ultimate collection will be made”“the amount shall be treated as an advance and not recognised as revenue”

3Common trap

Don't fall for this

Watch out — most students write 'goods are ready for dispatch so revenue can be recognised' and actually argue FOR Raj Ltd. The trap is confusing receipt of payment with transfer of risks and rewards. Payment received ≠ revenue earned under AS 9; goods must be dispatched AND accepted.

P Ltd. has 3,800 preference shares (₹3,80,000 ÷ ₹100) and Q Ltd. has 2,800 preference shares (₹2,80,000 ÷ ₹100). For each old preference share held, PQ Ltd. issues 5 new preference shares of ₹20 each, ₹18 paid up, at a premium of ₹4.

New preference shares issued:
- To P Ltd. preference shareholders: 3,800 × 5 = 19,000 shares
- To Q Ltd. preference shareholders: 2,800 × 5 = 14,000 shares
- Total: 33,000 preference shares

P Ltd. has 8,200 equity shares (₹8,20,000 ÷ ₹100) and Q Ltd. has 3,200 equity shares (₹3,20,000 ÷ ₹100). For each old equity share held, PQ Ltd. issues 8 new equity shares of ₹20 each, ₹18 paid up, at a premium of ₹4.

New equity shares issued in exchange:
- To P Ltd. equity shareholders: 8,200 × 8 = 65,600 shares

P Ltd. has 8% Debentures of ₹2,00,000 and Q Ltd. has 8% Debentures of ₹1,00,000; total ₹3,00,000. PQ Ltd. issues 60 new debentures to fully discharge these. Face value per new debenture = ₹3,00,000 ÷ 60 = ₹5,000 per debenture.

The old debentures are assumed as liabilities when assets and liabilities are taken over, and then separately discharged by issuing new debentures of PQ Ltd.

Note: Under AS 14 – Accounting for Amalgamations, the Purchase Consideration comprises only (i) and (ii) above totalling ₹27,32,400. Debentures (iii) are liabilities assumed and not part of purchase consideration. The fresh issue for cash (iv) is a post-amalgamation capital-raising transaction.

1The skeleton

- Start by splitting the four parts — pref shares (i), equity shares (ii), debentures (iii), fresh cash issue (iv) — because examiners tick each sub-part separately and a merged answer loses structure marks even if the numbers are right.
- For parts (i) and (ii), always show the share-count derivation first (e.g., ₹8,20,000 ÷ ₹100 = 8,200 shares, then × 8 = 65,600) — examiners need to see the working chain before the journal, otherwise your debit figure looks pulled from thin air.
- In every journal entry, split the credit between Share Capital and Securities Premium on separate lines with the narration showing '× ₹18' and '× ₹4' explicitly — the narration is where you pick up the easy half-mark most candidates miss.
- Debentures get their own two-line entry (Debentures Assumed A/c Dr. → To 8% Debentures of PQ Ltd.) — do NOT club them with the liquidator entries; the examiner is specifically checking whether you know debentures bypass the liquidator.
- Close with a boxed AS 14 note stating purchase consideration = only parts (i) + (ii) = ₹27,32,400 — this one line demonstrates conceptual clarity and almost always earns the 'application of standard' mark that separates 12/16 from 15/16.

2Examiner-rewarded phrases

“purchase consideration as per AS 14 – Accounting for Amalgamations comprises only the shares issued to equity and preference shareholders of the transferor companies”“Liquidator of P Ltd. and Q Ltd. A/c Dr. (being purchase consideration discharged)”“the old debentures are assumed as liabilities and discharged by issue of new debentures of PQ Ltd. and do not form part of purchase consideration”

3Common trap

Don't fall for this

The single biggest mark-killer here is treating the 8% debentures as part of purchase consideration — if you debit the Liquidator A/c for debenture value too, your PC figure is wrong and every downstream journal is wrong. Debentures are assumed liabilities discharged directly, not through the liquidator. Equally, the fresh 20,000 shares for cash is post-amalgamation; don't add ₹4,40,000 into PC — the examiner's suggested answer calls this out explicitly.

Building Fund — Journal Entries for 2016-17 (JRB Engineering College)

Key figures derived before passing entries:

- Interest on Fixed Deposit = 5% × ₹4,50,000 = ₹22,500
- 40% of Development Fees = 40% × ₹16,92,375 = ₹6,76,950
- 70% of old contractors' bill (Opening WIP) = 70% × ₹6,18,750 = ₹4,33,125 (paid 14.4.2016)
- Outstanding old bill (30%) = ₹6,18,750 − ₹4,33,125 = ₹1,85,625 (still payable)
- New extension cost = ₹5,43,750 (fully paid)
- Total building cost transferred = ₹6,18,750 + ₹5,43,750 = ₹11,62,500 ✓

Note on opening position: The Building Fund balance of ₹7,50,000 was represented only by FD and Bank. The WIP of ₹6,18,750 was an asset on the building fund side, funded by an equal opening liability (Contractors A/c ₹6,18,750 — entirely unpaid as of 31.3.2016).

1The skeleton

- Derive all key figures first in a 'Working Notes' box — interest (5% × 4,50,000), 40% of dev fees, 70%/30% split of old WIP — examiners look here to award method marks even if your final entry is off.
- Number every journal entry sequentially (1), (2)… and end each with a 'Being…' narration in italics — ICAI's suggested answers always do this and markers tick narrations separately.
- For the WIP entries, pass TWO separate entries for the new extension (one to record the completed building in progress, one for actual payment) — collapsing them into one loses a mark because the debit to Contractors A/c must show up individually.
- Carry the 30% unpaid old contractor balance into your Trial Balance as a Cr item — this is the single line most students miss; if your TB doesn't balance, this is why.
- Head the Trial Balance exactly as 'Trial Balance of Building Fund as on 31st March 2017' with three columns (Account / Dr / Cr) and a totals row — the format itself carries presentation marks in NPO questions.

3Common trap

Don't fall for this

Watch out — most students treat the opening WIP of ₹6,18,750 as if nothing was outstanding on 31.3.2016, then only record the April payment. You need to recognise that 30% (₹1,85,625) of the old Contractors A/c is still unpaid at year-end and must appear on the Cr side of your Trial Balance — missing this single line will make your TB fail to tally and you drop 2–3 marks instantly.
