View sample solutionHide solution
Balance Sheet of M/s Solar Ltd as at 31 March 2024 (Schedule III). I. EQUITY AND LIABILITIES — (1) Shareholders' Funds: Share Capital 500000 + Reserves & Surplus 150000 = 650000; (2) Non-current Liabilities: Long-term Borrowings 200000; (3) Current Liabilities: Trade Payables 50000.

(5) Related party transactions — with directors, key management, subsidiaries. (6) Earnings per share computation. (7) Segment reporting (if applicable). Without notes the financial statements would be unintelligible — they are mandatory under Section 129 of Companies Act 2013.
Q28 6 Marks

Prepare the Statement of P&L of M/s Lite Ltd for the year ended 31 March 2024: Revenue from Operations ₹800000; Other Income ₹20000; Cost of Materials ₹350000; Employee Benefits ₹150000; Finance Costs ₹30000; Depreciation ₹50000; Other Expenses ₹80000; Tax @25%.

View sample solutionHide solution
Statement of P&L for the year ended 31 March 2024 (Schedule III): I. Revenue from Operations 800000; II. Other Income 20000; Total Revenue 820000. III. Total Expenses: Cost of Materials 350000 + Employee Benefits 150000 + Finance Costs 30000 + Depreciation 50000 + Other Expenses 80000 = 660000. IV. Profit before Tax 820000 − 660000 = 160000. V. Tax @25% × 160000 = 40000. VI. Profit for the year = 160000 − 40000 = ₹120000. EPS (assuming 10000 shares of ₹10 each) = 120000 / 10000 = ₹12. The vertical format clearly separates revenues from expenses and shows profit at each stage.
Q29 6 Marks

Explain the difference between trial balance and balance sheet.

View sample solutionHide solution
Trial Balance — list of all ledger account balances at a date showing debit and credit columns; checks ARITHMETICAL accuracy; not part of financial statements; preliminary working tool. Includes nominal accounts (revenues and expenses). Balance Sheet — formal statement of FINANCIAL POSITION as at a date; lists assets liabilities and equity; final output of accounting cycle; shared with stakeholders. Excludes nominal accounts (those are in P&L). Trial balance is internal; balance sheet is external. Balance sheet must follow Schedule III format; trial balance has no prescribed format. Both verify the dual aspect (debits = credits in TB; assets = liabilities + equity in BS) but serve different purposes.
Q30 6 Marks

Discuss the various methods of presentation of financial statements and their requirements.

View sample solutionHide solution
Companies Act 2013 prescribes Schedule III as the format. Two methods: (1) Vertical format — modern, used by all companies; equity & liabilities on top, assets below; subtotals at each level. Better for analysis. (2) Horizontal format — older T-format with assets on right and liabilities/capital on left; rarely used now. Indian companies must use vertical format. Ind AS-compliant entities (large companies) use Statement of Financial Position (Ind AS 1) similar to vertical format with additional disclosures. Other requirements: comparative figures of previous year on the face of every statement; notes referenced from the face; rounding off to nearest thousand or lakh as per company size.

What are the key components of a Balance Sheet as per Schedule III of the Companies Act, 2013, and how do they reflect the financial position of a company?
