AS 5 Change in Accounting Estimate
Accountancy
answered on 13-Aug-25 20:38
Sir, in Illustration 3 the question said that provision was Rs 700000 in P.Y. against which actual expenses incurred were Rs 900000. So, the actual just exceeded estimate. How is it a case of Change in Accounting estimate, because we didn't revise amount of provision? [Video Time Stamp: 00:54]

Cash Book - Single and Double Column
Accountancy
answered on 13-Aug-25 20:10
Sir, in the triple column we learnt the contra entries. In the single and double column, would we directly record the cash deposit and withdrawal from bank in the amount column? Are we also required to write "C" besides them in the single and double column.
latest answer
In single column it will have only cash book. The bank account is kep separately as a ledger. In double column with cash and bank columns, you would write contra/c

Closing balances - Assets, Capital and Liabilities
Accountancy
answered on 13-Aug-25 20:11
Sir, we have generalized the idea as, generally asset have Dr balance and Capital, Liabilities have Cr balances. Can you give some examples where there are exception to this general rule. [Video Time Stamp: 02:30]
latest answer
1. Bank account may have a credit balance if overdrawn, which is technically a liability. 2. if a company overpays a vendor or creditor, the related account payable may show a debit balance until adjusted.

Accounting for GST
Accountancy
answered on 12-Aug-25 13:17
Sir, in the example, the faculty provides services. Since it is a recorded video class, the fees paid is a one time payment and Indigo can earn benefits for longer period than compared to face to face class. So by this logic, can we say, the fees paid to faculty for recorded classes will be a capital expense and the fees paid to faculty for face to face class will be a revenue expense.
latest answer
We capitalise Fees paid to record classes. This is shown as intangible asset on the balance sheet. Face to face fees is one time and is revenue expenditure.

Accounting for GST - Cash Discount and Final Settlement Cases
Accountancy
answered on 12-Aug-25 13:20
Sir, in the above journal entry for Jul 4 and 5, we had recorded the lower amount paid by Surjeet as Discount allowed (loss) and we had not reversed GST as you had taught us the logic there is no change in the value of goods so not to reverse the Output GST a/c. Now my query is, in the books of Surjeet, he would have recorded the purchases (25K) and input GST a/c (3K), when he pays a final settlement. Asset goes down (so cr.) To Bank 25,200, liable to pay decrease (so dr.) Creditor 28K. Now the difference amount, 28,000 - 25,200 = 2,800, will surjeet record as discount received (gains)? He should not reverse the input GST a/c as the same logic, there is no change in value of goods. Hence reversal not required [Video Time Stamp: 00:02]

Input and output GST go hand in hand. If supplier has charged GST - it is output and corresponding input for buyer. For discounts given (which are not agreed at time of sale) - there is no reversal of GST. But say if there is a volume discount agreed at time of sale - the supplier reverses output gst and customer reverses input gst. This is done by way of credit note issued by supplier. These are slightly advanced concepts and are covered in GST in CA inter.
