Return on capital employed

Financial Management

answered on 11-Sep-24 20:20

Why we included intrest component in pre tax return [by calculating EBIT instead of PBT for pretax return ]and post tax return [PAT +interest instead of just PAT] what's the reason (....still doesn't concluded my mind with this formula)

latest answer

Capital Employed is Debt + Equity + Pref So Denominator is all providers of capital, so when we compute return, the numerator also should have return attributable to all shareholders. ICAI has this weird formula of PAT plus Interest, where Pat is for equity shareholders and Int is for debt holders Practically most people use EBIT x (1-t) . Here EBIT reflects earnings available to all capital providers

AS 12 - Grant in the nature of Promoter's contribution vs for specific fixed assets

Accountancy

answered on 09-Sep-24 11:45

Alps Limited has received the following Grants from the Government during the year ended 31st March, 2021: 1. Rs.120 Lacs received as Subsidy from the Central Government for setting up an Industrial undertaking in Medak, a notified backward area. 2. Rs.15 Lacs Grant received from the Central Government on installation of Effluent Treatment Plant. I understand that 1 is a grant in the nature of promoter's contribution as it is being given solely by reason of being setup in the notified area. However, I feel that 2 can also be considered as such since it is being granted for the construction of the overall plant, which may consist of multiple individual PPEs. Answer key treats 2 as a grant for specific fixed assets. Would both answers be considered correct?

latest answer

The first grant (Rs. 120 Lacs) qualifies as a grant in the nature of promoters' contribution because it is aimed at incentivizing the overall investment in a notified backward area without being tied to any specific asset. The second grant (Rs. 15 Lacs) is specifically tied to the installation of an effluent treatment plant, which is a specific fixed asset. Hence, it should be accounted for as a grant related to a specific fixed asset and not as a grant in the nature of promoters' contribution. When we use promoter's contribution, it is for a business set up as a whole.

answered on 08-Sep-24 12:07

Q6 , Sir generally interest rates are quoted on beginning of year or ending of prev year ie ( reset date ) and payment will be on payment date based on interest rate on reset date right ? so here interest rate on 1/4/2012 ( reset date ) is 8.5 % and will be applicable for payment on 31/3/2013 and pay off would be zero right ? ( 8.5 % - 8.5 % ) , but why interest rate of 10.2 % is taken for pay off , it should be applicable for 31/3/2014 ? , I am missing some logic here please explain sir

latest answer

Your understanding is right and what we have done is also right We computed 10.2-8.5 for full year 2013-14. We never said the payoff is paid on 31/3/2013 The settlement is doe on 31/3/14 only. The column heading is 13-14 for the full year and yes the payment is made at the year end

Why have we passed the 2nd and 3rd entry. I couldn't get the logic behind passing such entry, sir.

latest answer

When the entity held 30% stake, it accounted for the investments using the equity method. So share of exchange differences and share of revaluation reserve would be recognised in OCI. Now since control is established, the balance in OCI is transferred to retained earnings as it is no longer an associate.
