1. Discuss 5 accounting concepts with suitable example of each concept.
Ans.



1. Business separate entity concept
This concept states that business may be a separate entity and it's different from the
proprietor or the owner. during this concept an organization can own assets and

2. incur liabilities in its own name. This separation not only has important legal
implication but also has an accounting implication. this allows the business to
segregate the transactions of the corporate from the private transactions of the
proprietor(s). It distinguishes between the non-public assets and liabilities of the
owners therewith of the business.
Example: Personal checking account of the proprietor, cash withdrawal from
business for personal purpose should be accounted separately.
2. Going concern concept
In this concept the business entity will continue fairly for a protracted time to come
back. It assumes that there's neither the need nor the intention to shut down either
the complete business or substantial operations of the business.

3. Money measurement concept
All transactions of a business are recorded in terms of cash. this idea is essentially
concerned with the matter of measuring the worth of transactions. Certain
transactions are either already expressed in terms of cash or easily measured in
terms of cash. as an example, cost of inputs, prices of assets, etc. Other assets or
transactions that are difficult to live and express in terms of cash are ignored. for
instance, value of the brand, intelligence of individuals, etc.

4. Periodicity (accounting period) concept
As per the going concern concept, the lifetime of business is indefinite. This makes
it difficult to attend indefinitely to prevent and appearance back at how the
corporate performed and also makes it too late to require corrective actions if any.
Hence, the indefinite lifetime of business is split into regular intervals of your time.
Such regular time intervals are called accounting periods.

5. Accrual concept

3. The following are the features of this concept:
• Expenses incurred for an accounting period must be recorded therein accounting
period irrespective of whether it's actually paid therein accounting period or not.
• Income earned for an accounting period must be recorded therein accounting
period no matter whether it's actually received in this accounting period or not

Example: On 31st December, 2006, interest receivable on fixed deposit was Rs.
12000. The interest amount was credited to a checking account in February 2007
(two months later). per accrual concept, the income from interest is Rs.12000
though it's received after 31stDecember, 2006.

3. Distinguish between management accounting and financial accounting.
Answer. Financial accounting is the preparation and communication of financial
information to outsiders such as creditors, bankers, government, customers, etc.
Another objective of financial accounting is to give complete picture of the
enterprise to shareholders. Management accounting on the other hand, aims at
preparing and reporting the financial data to the management

5. on regular basis. Management is entrusted with the responsibility of taking
appropriate decisions, planning, performance evaluation, control, management of
costs, cost determination, etc. For both financial accounting and management
accounting the financial data are the same. The reports prepared in financial
accounting are also used in management accounting.
But there are a few major differences between financial accounting and
management accounting
Dimension Financial accounting Management accounting

From the above, compute (a) Debt‐Equity Ratio and (b) Proprietary Ratio.

Answer:
Debt Equity Ratio
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is employed to gauge a company's financial leverage
and is calculated by dividing a company’s total liabilities by its shareholder equity.
The D/E ratio is a very important metric employed in finance. More specifically, it
reflects the flexibility of shareholder equity to hide all outstanding debts within the
event of a business downturn. The debt-to-equity ratio may be a particular sort of
gearing ratio.
These record categories may contain individual accounts that will not normally be
considered “debt” or “equity” within the traditional sense of a loan or the value of
an asset. Because the ratio may be distorted by retained earnings/losses, intangible
assets, and retirement program adjustments, further research is typically needed to
grasp a company’s true leverage

8. Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity =
32000
40000+8000
= .67
Propriety Ratio
The proprietary ratio (also referred to as the equity ratio) is that the proportion
of shareholders' equity to total assets, and intrinsically provides a rough
estimate of the quantity of capitalization currently want to support a business.
If the ratio is high, this means that an organization incorporates a sufficient
amount of equity to support the functions of the business, and doubtless has
room in its financial structure to require on additional debt, if necessary.
Conversely, a coffee ratio indicates that a business is also making use of an
excessive amount of debt or trade payables, instead of equity, to support
operations (which may place the corporate in danger of bankruptcy).
Thus, the equity ratio could be a general indicator of economic stability. It
should be utilized in conjunction with the online profit ratio and an
examination of the statement of money flows to achieve a far better overview
of the financial circumstances of a business. These additional measures reveal
the flexibility of a business to earn a profit and generate cash flows,
respectively
Propriety Ratio = Shareholders funds/ Total Assets =
40000+8000
120000
= .4
5. State the purpose or objective of preparing a cash flow statement. Also give
any two examples of cash flows from operating activities, investing activities
and financing activities.
Answer:
Meaning of Cash Flow Analysis
Cash flow analysis is a crucial tool of monetary analysis. it's the method of
understanding the change in position with reference to benefit the present year and
also the reasons liable for such a change. Incidentally, the analysis also helps us to
know whether the investing and financing decision taken by the corporate during
the year are appropriate don't seem to be.
Cash flow analysis is presented within the type of an statement. Such a press
release is termed a income statement.

9. Objectives of Cash Flow Analysis
• What is the change in the cash position of the firm for the current year as
compared to the previous year?
• How good was the liquidity position of the firm?
• What were the sources of cash during the current year?
• How much cash was generated from operations?
• What were the applications of cash during the current year?
The preparation of cash flow statement is similar to the preparation of fund flow
statement. It requires the identification of the sources of cash and the uses of cash.
An application of cash is a transaction which leads to an outflow of cash.
Following is the list of transactions that results in a source of cash or application of
cash.
Sources of cash:
 Cash from operations
 Proceeds of issue of
 Equity shares
 Preference shares
 Proceeds of issue of
 Debentures
 Bonds
 Raising mortgage loans (long-term)
 Sale of assets
 Intangible assets like patent rights, copyrights, brand names, goodwill,
licences, etc.
 Sale of investments like shares, bonds, debentures, etc.

Applications or uses of cash:
 Cash lost in operations (adjusted net loss)
 Buy back of equity shares
 Redemption of redeemable preference shares
 Redemption of redeemable bonds or debentures
 Repaying of long-term debts from banks and financial institutions
 Repaying of mortgage loans (long-term)
 Purchasing of assets
 Purchasing of investments like shares, bonds, debentures, etc.
 It may be noted that the sources of cash increase the cash balance and
applications of cash decrease the cash balance.
Examples of cash flows from Operating activities are:
a) cash receipts from the sale of goods and the rendering of services;
b) cash receipts from royalties, fees, commissions and other revenue;

10. c) cash payments to suppliers for goods and services;
d) cash payments to and on behalf of employees;
e) cash receipts and cash payments of an insurance enterprise for premiums and
claims, annuities and other policy benefits;
f) cash payments or refunds of income taxes unless they can be specifically
identified with financing and investing activities; and g) cash receipts and
payments relating to futures contracts, forward contracts, option contracts and
swap contracts when the contracts are held for dealing or trading purposes.

Examples of cash flows arising from Investing activities are:
a) cash payments to acquire fixed assets : These payments include those relating to
capitalised research and development costs and self-constructed fixed assets;
b) cash receipts from disposal of fixed assets (including intangibles);
c) cash payments to acquire shares, warrants or debt instruments of other
enterprises and interests in joint ventures (other than payments for those
instruments considered to be cash equivalents and those held for dealing or trading
purposes);
d) cash receipts from disposal of shares, warrants or debt instruments of other
enterprises and interests in joint ventures (other than receipts from those
instruments considered to be cash equivalents and those held for dealing or trading
purposes);
e) cash advances and loans made to third parties (other than advances and loans
made by a financial enterprise);
f) cash receipts from the repayment of advances and loans made to third parties
(other than advances and loans of a financial enterprise);

6. Discuss the steps involved in standard costing. Also state the Differences
between Standard Costing and Budgetary Control.
Answer. Following are the steps involved in standard costing...
1. Establishment of standards
It is the primary step within the standard costing process. Standards need to be set
separately for every item of cost. It must be done very meticulously.
2. Comparison of actual costs with the predetermined standards.

11. It is the subsequent step in standard costing. It has to be ensured that an accurate
comparison is formed. the particular costs must be compared with the quality cost
for actual output.
3. Analyzing the variances (deviations) of actual costs from the quality costs.
The difference between the quality cost and also the actual cost is named the
variance. The variances are to be analyzed for every item of cost separately.
4. Reporting
The variance is also favorable or unfavorable. In either case, it should be reported
to the management for taking corrective actions wherever necessary.
Differences between Standard Costing and Budgetary Control
1. The scope of budgetary control is wider. It is an integrated plan of action and a
coordinated plan with respect to all functions of an enterprise. On the other hand,
the scope of standard costing is limited to the operating level.

2. Budgetary control targets are based on past actual data adjusted to future trends.
In standard costing, standards are based on technical assessment.
3. Budgeted targets work as the maximum limit of expenses which should not
exceed the actual expenditure. Standards are attainable level of performance.
4. Budgetary control emphasises the forecasting aspect of future operations.
Standard costing scope and utility is limited to only operating level of the concern.
5. Variance analysis is not compulsory in budgetary control though companies
normally do it. Even when it is done, no accounting entry is passed in the books for
the variance. But variance analysis is an essential part of standard costing.
Variances are analysed and journal entries are passed and posted to the ledger
accounts in the costing books.
6. Budgetary control can be operated in parts. That is, as per the needs of the
management, only functional budgets may be prepared. A standard costing system
cannot be operated in parts. All items of expenditure included in the cost units are
to be accounted for.
