- Control under Ind AS 110
- Investor controls investee when it has power over relevant activities, exposure to variable returns, and ability to use power to affect returns. Reassess when facts change.
- Goodwill formula
- Goodwill = consideration transferred + NCI + previously held interest − fair value of net identifiable assets acquired. NCI measured at fair value or proportionate share.
- Bargain purchase gain
- Excess of fair value of net assets acquired over consideration after reassessment is recognised as gain in profit or loss in the acquisition period.
- Translation of foreign subsidiary
- Assets and liabilities at closing rate, income and expenses at average rate, exchange differences to OCI translation reserve, recycled on disposal.
- Ind AS 115 five steps
- Identify contract, identify performance obligations, determine transaction price, allocate price to obligations, recognise revenue when control transfers.
- Expected credit loss model
- Measure loss allowance at 12-month ECL unless credit risk increased significantly, then lifetime ECL. Simplified approach for trade receivables using provision matrix.
- Target costing formula
- Target cost = competitive market price − desired profit margin. Cost gap = current estimated cost − target cost; close gap through value engineering.
- Throughput accounting ratio
- Throughput = sales − direct material cost. Throughput per bottleneck minute = throughput / bottleneck minutes. Prioritise products with highest ratio.
- Transfer pricing general rule
- Minimum transfer price = incremental cost + opportunity cost per unit. When external market exists, use market price less internal cost savings.
- Material price variance
- Material price variance = (standard price − actual price) × actual quantity purchased. Favourable if actual price below standard.
- Break-even sales
- Break-even sales = fixed costs / contribution margin ratio. Contribution margin ratio = contribution / sales. Margin of safety = actual sales − break-even sales.
- Balanced Scorecard perspectives
- Four perspectives: financial, customer, internal business process, learning and growth. Each has objectives, measures, targets, and initiatives linked by cause and effect.
- Reportable segment threshold
- Operating segment reportable if revenue, profit/loss, or assets are 10% or more of combined total. Reportable segments must cover at least 75% of external revenue.
- Basic EPS formula
- Basic EPS = profit attributable to ordinary shareholders / weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS adjusts for dilutive potential shares.
- Adjusting events after reporting period
- Events providing evidence of conditions at reporting date require adjustment of financial statements. Non-adjusting events are disclosed if material.
- Related party disclosure
- Disclose relationships, transactions, outstanding balances, and commitments. Key management personnel compensation disclosed by category under Ind AS 24.
- Interim financial reporting minimum
- Ind AS 34 requires condensed balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, and explanatory notes. Apply same accounting policies as annual statements.
- Residential status individual
- Resident if stay ≥182 days in previous year, or ≥60 days and ≥365 days in preceding four years. Resident but not ordinarily resident if non-resident in 9 of 10 prior years.
- Section 115BAA corporate rate
- Domestic company may opt for 22% tax rate (plus 10% surcharge and 4% cess) if it forgoes specified incentives and exemptions. Irrevocable option.
- GST place of supply
- Place of supply determines whether IGST or CGST plus SGST applies. For goods, generally location where goods are delivered; for services, location of recipient or supplier per rules.
- TDS interest on late deposit
- Interest for non-deduction is 1% per month; for late deposit after deduction is 1.5% per month from date deductible to date actually paid.
- GAAR under Chapter X-A
- General anti-avoidance rules allow tax authorities to disregard arrangements lacking commercial substance whose main purpose is tax benefit. Taxpayer may seek advance ruling.
- WACC formula
- WACC = (E/V) × Ke + (D/V) × Kd × (1 − tax rate), using market value weights. Ke from CAPM = risk-free rate + beta × market risk premium.
- Modigliani-Miller with taxes
- Firm value increases with leverage by tax shield = Tc × D. Trade-off theory balances tax shield against financial distress and agency costs.
- Modified duration
- Modified duration measures percentage change in bond price for a small change in yield: percentage price change ≈ − modified duration × yield change.
- Expected credit loss formula
- Expected loss = probability of default × exposure at default × loss given default. Used to assess counterparty credit risk and price credit exposure.
- Free cash flow to firm
- FCFF = EBIT × (1 − tax) + depreciation − capital expenditure − increase in working capital. Discount at WACC to get enterprise value.
- Terminal value Gordon growth
- Terminal value = final year free cash flow × (1 + g) / (WACC − g). Growth rate g must be sustainable and below WACC.
- Value of synergy
- Synergy value = combined firm value − (acquirer standalone value + target standalone value). Sources include cost savings, revenue enhancement, and financial economies.
- Exchange ratio in merger
- Exchange ratio = offer price per target share / acquirer share price. Determines number of new shares issued and post-merger ownership dilution.
- ICAI fundamental principles
- Integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality, and professional behaviour. Apply conceptual framework to identify and address threats.
- Threat categories in ethics
- Self-interest, self-review, advocacy, familiarity, and intimidation threats. Safeguards include firm policies, engagement quality review, and rotation.
