Plant & Machinery — WDV Method (Year ending 31.3.2014)

Key Figures Identified:
- Opening WDV on 1.4.2013: ₹5,32,000 (includes disposed machine WDV ₹1,89,000)
- Remaining existing machinery WDV: ₹5,32,000 − ₹1,89,000 = ₹3,43,000
- New purchase on 1.6.2013: ₹1,20,000 (held for 10 months)
- Machine disposed on 30.6.2013: WDV ₹1,89,000 as on 1.4.2013 (held for 3 months)
- New machine acquired via part exchange on 30.6.2013: ₹2,56,000 (held for 9 months)

(i) Depreciation charged to Profit & Loss A/c:

AssetWDV / CostRatePeriodDepreciation (₹)
Existing machinery (excl. disposed)₹3,43,00020%12 months68,600
New purchase (1.6.2013)₹1,20,00020%10 months20,000
New machine from part exchange (30.6.2013)₹2,56,00020%9 months38,400
Disposed machine (1.4.2013 to 30.6.2013)₹1,89,00020%3 months9,450
Total Depreciation1,36,450

Depreciation charged to P&L = ₹1,36,450

(ii) Book Value of Plant & Machinery as on 31.3.2014:

The closing WDV is built up from individual asset WDVs:
- Existing machinery: ₹3,43,000 − ₹68,600 = ₹2,74,400
- New purchase (1.6.2013): ₹1,20,000 − ₹20,000 = ₹1,00,000
- New machine (part exchange): ₹2,56,000 − ₹38,400 = ₹2,17,600

Closing Book Value = ₹2,74,400 + ₹1,00,000 + ₹2,17,600 = ₹5,92,000

(iii) Loss on Exchange of Machinery:

WDV of disposed machine as on 1.4.2013: ₹1,89,000
Less: Depreciation for 3 months (Apr–Jun 2013): ₹9,450
WDV at date of disposal (30.6.2013): ₹1,79,550
Less: Part exchange value realised: ₹1,75,000

Loss on Exchange = ₹4,550

Note: The new machine is recorded at its full cost of ₹2,56,000. Cash actually paid = ₹2,56,000 − ₹1,75,000 = ₹81,000.

PLAN

1The skeleton

- Start by separating the opening WDV — split ₹5,32,000 into 'remaining' (₹3,43,000) and 'disposed' (₹1,89,000) in the very first line; examiners award a step mark here before you even touch depreciation.
- Build a single depreciation table with four rows — existing machinery, new purchase, part-exchange machine, and disposed machine each get their own row with WDV/cost, rate, period (months/12), and figure; this format is what gets you part marks even if one number is wrong.
- Explicitly state the holding period in months for each asset — write '10 months' or '9 months' next to each row; the examiner cannot award the time-apportionment mark if it's only implied in your arithmetic.
- For part (iii), show WDV at date of disposal as a separate step — compute WDV on 30.6.2013 (after 3-month depreciation) before comparing with exchange value; skipping this step collapses two marks into one line and you lose the process mark.
- End each part with a boxed/underlined single-line answer — write 'Depreciation charged to P&L = ₹1,36,450' on its own line; examiners marking 200 scripts pick up the answer line first, then verify working.

2Examiner-rewarded phrases

“depreciation has been charged on pro-rata basis for the period of use during the year”“the machine disposed of has been depreciated up to the date of disposal”“the new machine acquired on part exchange is recorded at its invoice cost of ₹2,56,000”

3Common trap

Don't fall for this

The killer mistake here is charging full-year depreciation on the disposed machine instead of stopping at 30.6.2013 (3 months) — and then separately forgetting to depreciate it at all for that short period, so the WDV at disposal date is wrong and your loss figure is off by ₹9,450. Both errors exist in the wild; the second one is sneakier.

Q.1(b) 05 marks medium Revenue recognition AS 9, accruals concept ⚡ Try this Q →
Sarita Publications publishes a monthly magazine on the 15th of every month. It sells advertising space in the magazine to advertisers on the terms of 80% sale value payable in advance, and the balance within 30 days of the release of the publication. The sale of space for the March 2014 issue was made in February 2014. The magazine was published on its scheduled date. It received ₹2,40,000 on 10.3.2014 and ₹60,000 on 10.4.2014 for the March 2014 issue. Discuss in the context of AS 9 the amount of revenue to be recognized and the treatment of the amount received from advertisers for the year ending 31.3.2014. What will be the treatment if the publication is delayed till 2.4.2014?

Relevant Standard: AS 9 — Revenue Recognition (issued by ICAI)

Core Principle under AS 9 for Advertising Revenue:
AS 9 states that revenue from advertising commissions and sale of advertising space is recognised when the related advertisement or commercial appears before the public, i.e., when the publication is released. The receipt of advance payment does not by itself constitute revenue recognition; the critical event is the publication of the advertisement.

Situation 1: Magazine published on scheduled date (15th March 2014)

The magazine for the March 2014 issue was published on 15.3.2014, which falls within the year ending 31.3.2014. Since the advertisement has appeared before the public within this accounting year, the performance obligation is fully discharged as on 15.3.2014.

Accordingly, the full revenue of ₹3,00,000 (₹2,40,000 + ₹60,000) is to be recognised in the year ending 31.3.2014.

Treatment of individual receipts:

- ₹2,40,000 received on 10.3.2014 (before publication): At the time of receipt, this amount represents an advance from advertisers and is a liability (deferred/unearned revenue). Once the magazine is published on 15.3.2014, it is transferred to revenue.
- ₹60,000 receivable, actually received on 10.4.2014: As at 31.3.2014, this amount has been earned (performance stands complete on 15.3.2014) but not yet received. It must be recognised as accrued revenue (debtor) in the books as at 31.3.2014 in accordance with the accruals concept under the Framework and AS 9.

Thus, the Profit & Loss Account for the year ending 31.3.2014 must reflect revenue of ₹3,00,000 from the March 2014 issue.

Situation 2: Publication delayed to 2nd April 2014

If the magazine is published on 2.4.2014, the advertisement has not appeared before the public as on 31.3.2014. The critical event (publication) occurs in the next accounting year (FY 2014-15).

Consequently, no revenue can be recognised for the March 2014 issue in the year ending 31.3.2014, notwithstanding the receipt of ₹2,40,000 on 10.3.2014.

The ₹2,40,000 already received must be shown as "Advance received from Advertisers" under Current Liabilities in the Balance Sheet as at 31.3.2014. It represents an obligation yet to be performed.

Revenue of ₹3,00,000 will be recognised in FY 2014-15 when the magazine is published on 2.4.2014, and the remaining ₹60,000 will be receivable at that point.

Summary:

1The skeleton

- Lead with the critical event rule under AS 9 — write 'revenue from sale of advertising space is recognised when the related advertisement appears before the public' in line 1, because examiners look for this trigger phrase before reading anything else.
- Split your answer into two clearly labelled situations — 'Situation 1: Published 15.3.2014' and 'Situation 2: Published 2.4.2014' — this signals you've read the full question and forces the examiner to tick both halves.
- Name the accounting treatment of ₹2,40,000 explicitly — call it 'Advance received from Advertisers (liability)' before publication and then show it flipping to revenue after publication; the reclassification is the marks-earning move, not just saying 'it's advance'.
- Write the accruals concept link for the ₹60,000 — say 'as per the accruals concept, revenue is recognised when earned, not when received; accordingly ₹60,000 is recognised as accrued revenue/debtor as at 31.3.2014' — linking concept name to treatment is what separates a 4-mark answer from a 3-mark one.
- End with a two-row summary table — one row per situation, columns: Revenue recognised / Treatment of advance / Debtor; examiners reward structure and it protects you if your prose is thin.

2Examiner-rewarded phrases

“revenue from sale of advertising space is recognised when the related advertisement or commercial appears before the public”“the amount received in advance shall be treated as a liability (advance from advertisers) until the performance is complete”“in accordance with the accruals concept, the amount earned but not yet received shall be recognised as accrued revenue”

3Common trap

Don't fall for this

Most students correctly handle Situation 1 but then say 'no revenue in Situation 2 because cash not received' — that's the wrong reason; the real reason is the critical event (publication) hasn't occurred yet, and mixing up cash basis logic with AS 9's performance-trigger will cost you 1-2 marks even if your final number is right.

Treatment of Normal and Abnormal Wastage under AS 2 (Valuation of Inventories)

AS 2 requires that the cost of inventories should comprise all costs of purchase, costs of conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Normal Loss/Wastage: Under AS 2, normal wastage is an inherent and unavoidable loss in the production process. The cost of normal wastage is absorbed into the cost of good output — it does not appear as a separate item but instead increases the cost per unit of net output. Normal wastage is thus included in the cost of inventories.

Abnormal Loss/Wastage: Abnormal wastage is over and above the normal expected loss. AS 2 requires that abnormal wastage is not included in the cost of inventories but is instead written off to the Profit & Loss Account in the period in which it occurs. It represents an inefficiency and should not inflate inventory values.

Calculation of Normal and Abnormal Wastage:

Raw material input = 12,000 MT; Normal wastage rate = 4%

Normal wastage = 4% × 12,000 = 480 MT

Actual (total) wastage found = 630 MT

Abnormal wastage = 630 − 480 = 150 MT

Computation of Cost of Abnormal Loss:

Total cost of raw material = 12,000 MT × ₹150 = ₹18,00,000

Under AS 2, the cost of normal wastage is spread over the net expected output:

Expected net output = 12,000 − 480 = 11,520 MT

Effective cost per MT (after absorbing normal wastage) = ₹18,00,000 ÷ 11,520 = ₹156.25 per MT

Abnormal loss (in ₹) = 150 MT × ₹156.25 = ₹23,437.50

This amount of ₹23,437.50 should be debited to the Profit & Loss Account and should not be included in the valuation of closing inventory or the cost of production.

1The skeleton

- Lead with the AS 2 rule for normal wastage in one line — state that normal loss is absorbed into cost of good output, so examiners see you know the standard before you touch the numbers.
- Then state the AS 2 rule for abnormal wastage in one line — write off to P&L, not included in inventory cost; this two-rule opener earns you the theory marks even if your calculation goes wrong.
- Set up a clean calculation block: Input → Normal wastage (4%) → Actual wastage → Abnormal wastage — label each figure with MT so the examiner can tick-mark without reading sentences.
- Compute effective cost per MT by dividing total material cost by expected net output — this is the step most students skip, and it's where the mark sits; 12,000 MT cost spread over 11,520 MT gives ₹156.25.
- Multiply abnormal MT × effective cost per MT and explicitly state the P&L treatment — closing with 'debited to Profit & Loss Account' mirrors ICAI's own language and locks the last mark.

2Examiner-rewarded phrases

“abnormal wastage shall not be included in the cost of inventories and shall be recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred”“the cost of normal wastage is absorbed into the cost of net output”“as per AS 2 (Valuation of Inventories), costs of conversion include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads after excluding abnormal amounts of wasted materials”

3Common trap

Don't fall for this

Watch out — most students compute abnormal loss at ₹150 per MT (the raw purchase price) instead of ₹156.25 per MT (cost after absorbing normal wastage). That's wrong under AS 2 and you'll drop 1-2 marks on the final figure even if your theory is perfect.
