Coefficient of Variation/Variance

AFM

answered on 20-Jun-25 10:18

Sir, what is the appropriate formula for calculating the Coefficient of Variation (CV) in this context? Should it be: Standard Deviation / NPV, or Standard Deviation / Expected Cash Flows (Mean Cash Flows)? If both formulas are technically possible, will they give the same outcome in decision making, or can the project rankings change depending on which base is used? Also, when both NPV and mean cash flows are available, which one is more appropriate or preferable to use in evaluating and comparing projects? [Video Time Stamp: 03:39]

latest answer

It is expected CF or NPV as applicable is that case for projects NPV as denominator is preferred. They will not ask a question where both are provided - if such a situation arises compute using both

As per the explanation given in the video for Question 3, only CA Z who brought up the matter and did not issue a separate audit report, will be responsible for the fraud detected in the branch. However, as per the answer key given, it is mentioned that all 3 joint auditors will be responsible. Kindly clarify.

latest answer

Yes. When all the partners jointly take a Decision , they will all be responsible, when matter is brought to notice by one partner, they resolve it together

Eps

Financial Reporting

answered on 19-Jun-25 09:59

In case of compulsorily convertible preference shares, should eps be computed under basic or diluted. I believe that since it is compulsory convertible, it can be treated as ordinary share and included under Basic. Also please explain date of contract in para 23 of Ind AS 33.

latest answer

It is included in basic from the date of contract. Date of contract is the date on which the investor and company have entered into a contract which is basically the issue date. If CCPS are issued on 1st April 20X1 and are compulsorily convertible into equity shares on 1st April 20X4, then: Those shares are included in Basic EPS from 1st April 20X1 (date of contract). They are not separately adjusted in diluted EPS, as the impact is already reflected in basic EPS. If it is optionally converted, then it will be considered in dilutive.
