Question No: 31 ( Marks: 5 )
The following cases relate to the valuation of assets. Consider each case independently
a. World Wide Travel Agency has office supplies costing Rs. 1,700 on hand at the balance sheet date. These supplies were purchased from a supplier that does not give cash refunds. World Wide’s management believes that the company could sell these suppliers for no more than Rs. 500 if it were to advertise them for sale. However, the company expects to use these supplies and to purchase more when they are gone. In its balance sheet, the supplies were valued at Rs. 500.
Answer
Cost or net realizable value which ever is less. Office supplies are current asset which should be shown at cost or market price/ net realizable value which ever is less.
b. Nofford Corporation purchased land in 1995 for Rs. 20,000. In 2001, it purchased a similar parcel of land for Rs. 30,000. In its 2001 balance sheet, the company presented these two parcels of land at a combined amount of Rs. 320,000.
ANSWER
Historical cost principle has been violated by the company which depicts that all fixed assets must be shown at purchase price/cost price less deprecation in the balance sheet.
c. At December 30, 2001, Lenier, Inc., purchased a computer system from a mailorder supplier for Rs. 14,000. The retail value of the system according to the mailorder supplier was Rs. 20,000. On January 7, however, the system was stolen during a burglary. In its December 31, 2001, balance sheet, Lineir showed this computer system at Rs. 14,000 and made no r eference to its retail value or to the burglary. The December balance sheet was issued in February of 2002.
Answer
The computer system was purchased on Dec 30, 2001 and balance sheet was prepared on DEC 31, 2001 which shows the financial position as at Dec 31, 2001. The system was stolen on January 7, 2002 which will not be reflected in the balance sheet as on Dec 31, 2001. System will be shown at cost price i.e. Rs.14000 because this is the purchase price of the computer system.
Requirement:
In each case, indicate the appropriate balance sheet amount of the asset under generally accepted accounting principles. If the amount assigned by the company is incorrect, briefly explain the accounting principles that have been violated.
