What is the difference between “Lease term” and “useful life”? Isn’t it both the terms referring to the same period?
latest answer
Both are not same. Check the building example i gave you. Useful life is for asset not only for lessee

Final dividend comes into picture at AGM only. If AGM is delayed, then you may have to include in disclosures.

When we don’t write the entry there is no effect in the trial balance the where did the suspense account come from?
latest answer
It is not that we have not passed the entry. We have passed the entry. But We have not take customer's account to trial balance. Hence the trial balance will not tally and we wil record in suspense account.

A company based out of India exported goods worth $10,000 to a customer in the US on 30th June 2017. The customer settled the amount on 30th April 2018. The company closes its financial statements on 31st March of every year. The exchange rate of 30th June 2017 was Rs. 60/$, on 31st March 2018 was Rs. 61/$ and on 30th April 2018 was Rs. 60/$. What is the foreign exchange gain or loss in this transaction to be recognised in the profit and loss account for year ending on 31st March 2019? If you are accounting for gain in the year 2018, arent we overstating revenue to the extent of 10000? as the amount is unrealised. can we account it as gain ?
latest answer
Date | Event | Rate (INR/USD) | Amount (USD) |Amount (INR) | 30-Jun-2017 Sale recorded (initial recognition) ₹60 $10,000 ₹6,00,000 31-Mar-2018 Year-end balance sheet date ₹61 $10,000 ₹6,10,000 30-Apr-2018 Settlement received ₹60 $10,000 ₹6,00,000 Now as on 31st mAr 2018, there is a gain of 10,000 on customer receivable. This gain is recorded. We do not know how much would be the settlement value on 30th April 2018. Also for monetary items - we know that we would be receiving 10,000 $ and current worth of those $ is 6,10,000. Hence a gain of 10,000 is recognised. It like having a foreign currency at hand.

which exchange rate is usually used when translating net realizable value of an inventory into foreign currency? If it is the rate at which the net realizable is determined. It should be the closing rate right, because usually NRV is determined at the end of financial year? Is that the reason. If yes why does attached MCQ has two options one is closing rate and rate on date on which NRV is determined.
latest answer
Financial statements may be prepared for interim period as well . So you take the date on which NRV was determined.
