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.
