Dividend

Accountancy

answered on 07-Aug-24 00:07

Sir final dividend is liability in current year because we pay it in next FY. But interim dividend is an expense during the year, but why don't disclose it in expense side of P&L account ?

latest answer

Dividend is not an expense for the company, whether it is final or interim. Since FINAL DIVIDEND is announced in the AGM of the Company, it cannot be withdraw even by Unanimous Consent. That's why it acts as a liability. However still it is appropriation of profits not an charge on profits. But Interim Dividend Can be withdrawn by BOD as it is not approved by General Meeting yet.

Why it's option b. Reason or method

latest answer

Cost = 52000 (cost + capitalised borrowing cost , 40000 + 12000) Nrv = 45000 We should always acc cost or nrv whichever is lower in this case the nrv is lower 45k but the ceiling limit amt is 45k which is nrv, so the cost + borrowing cost should be 45k we already have 40k as cost. So the excess 45k - 40k = 5k will be the borrowing cost

Balance sheet

Accountancy

answered on 05-Aug-24 12:54

At what value assets are normally shown in balance sheet historical cost/revalued cost? If an asset is shown in historical cost later can it be shown in revalued amounts in the balance sheet or should continue to be shown as historical cost only.? if shown at revalued cost what is the accounting treatment?

latest answer

Assets are typically shown in the balance sheet at their historical cost, which is the original purchase price or cost incurred to acquire the asset. Assets can be shown at revalued amounts following the principles of AS-10. ONce you complete AS-10, you will understand this. Brief explanation is given below. When an asset is shown at its revalued amount, the following accounting treatment is applied: Revaluation Increase: If the revaluation increases the asset's carrying amount, the increase is credited to Revaluation Surplus unless it reverses a previous revaluation decrease recognized in profit or loss. If it reverses a revaluation decrease recognized previously in profit or loss, the increase is recognized in profit or loss to the extent of that decrease. Revaluation Decrease: If the revaluation decreases the asset's carrying amount, the decrease is recognized in profit or loss, unless it reverses a previous revaluation surplus . If it reverses a revaluation surplus, the decrease is debited to revaluation surplus, reducing the revaluation surplus to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus for that asset.
