Investment Accounting
Part A
Q1) Which Investments are covered under AS 13, Accounting for Investments? AS 13, Accounting for Investments does not deal with which situations? (5 marks)
A1) As per AS 13, Investments are assets held by an enterprise for earning income by way of dividends, interests and rentals, for Capital appreciation, or for other benefits to the investing enterprise. Assets held as stock-in-trade are not ‘Investments’.
Investments in shares, debentures, bonds, etc held for the purpose as referred to in above are considered as Investments.
Similarly, investments in land or building that are not intended to be occupied substantially for use by, or in the operation of the investing enterprise is covered under AS 13 as Investment Property.
AS 13, does not deal with:
(a) The bases of recognition of interest, dividend and rentals earned on investments, which are covered by AS 9 on Revenue recognition.
(b) Operating or finance leases,
(c) Investments of retirement benefit plans and life insurance enterprises and
(d) Mutual funds and venture capital funds and /or the related asset management companies, banks and public financial institutions formed under a central or state government Act or so declared under the Companies Act, 1956.
Thus, disclosures and valuation of investments held by life insurance enterprises, Mutual Funds, banks, etc. will be made as per provisions of the respective act governing them and not as per AS 13.
Q2) What is difference between Current Investments and Stoke-in-Trade? Should Stock-in-Trade also be disclosed under Investments? (5 marks)
A2) Any asset held for earning income by way of dividends, interest and rentals for capital appreciation or for other benefits are considered as investments. Current Investment is an investment that is by its nature readily realisable and is intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investment is made.
Whereas for example shares, debentures and other securities held for sale in the ordinary course of business are not investments but ‘stock-in-trade’ and disclosed under the head ‘Current assets.
Premium Investments Ltd. Is an investment company. On each buy and sell, along with purchase price of the equity share, it also pays brokerage, service tax and securities transaction tax. Premium Investments Ltd. At the time of purchase and sell considers only purchase price as Investments and debits profit and loss account for the brokerage, service-tax and securities transaction tax. Is the treatment given by Premium Investments Ltd. In accordance with AS 13?
As per AS 13, the cost of an investment includes acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. Thus, transaction costs such as fees and commission paid to agents, advisers, brokers and dealers, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties that are directly attributable to the acquisition and disposal of an Investment should be included in the cost of investment.
Thus, accounting treatment followed by Premium Investments Ltd. Is not in consonance with the requirements of AS 13. Premium Investments Ltd. Should include such cost incurred as part of investment cost, irrespective of the tax implications.
Q3) Fair Investments Ltd., a listed company, is in investments of infrastructure projects. The company initially gives infrastructure Companies, advance money to be converted into equity later on. Fair Investments has borrowing and utilizes such borrowings also for advancing. In its financial statements, Fair Investments Ltd., adds interest paid on such borrowings to advances and when shares are allotted (at par) by the infrastructure companies, capitalises the entire advance towards equity along with interest. So, what actually happens, that though equity is issued at PAR, the shares are capitalsed as if Premium is paid on those shares as it includes interest element. Is the treatment given by Fair Investments Ltd., correct? (5 marks)
A3) As per AS 13, cost of investment includes acquisition charges such as brokerage, fees and duties. Meaning thereby AS 13 is silent as to whether interest on such advances, which are towards equity, can be included. Hence, AS 16, dealing with borrowing cost will have to be referred to. As per AS 16, a qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale.
In this case, what Fair Investments Ltd. Acquires is equity in infrastructure companies. The nature remains the same but the entities are different i.e. Investment in equity by Fair Investments and creation of asset by infrastructure companies. The borrowings are made by Fair Investments Ltd. And not by infrastructure companies. Further, Infrastructure companies will not be capitalising any interest on borrowings made by Fair Investments Ltd. They will show and issue equity capital of only that amount received by them from Fair Investments Ltd. Thus, Fair Investments Ltd., cannot be said to have created asset taking substantial period of time. In short, advance for equity cannot be said to have given rise to a qualifying asset. Accordingly, Fair Investments Ltd. Will have to write off the interest in its profit and loss account in the year of payment, irrespective of the fact that advances for equity shares still remains in its financial statements at the year end.
Q4) Quick gains Ltd., is an investment company. It holds following shares of R Ltd as long-term investments.
No. of Shares | Cost |
1,000 | 5,00,000 |
800 | 4,80,000 |
1,200 | 8,40,000 |
1,500 | 11,50,000 |
4,500 | 29,70,000 |
The above shares were purchased on different dates over the past two years. Quick gains Ltd. Has sold 2,000 equity shares of R Ltd. For total value of Rs. 17,00,000. Quick gains Ltd. Reported a profit of Rs.5,80,000 on sale of long-term investments. Is the Profit computed by Quick gains Ltd. In consonance with the requirements of AS 13? (5 marks)
A4) As per AS 13, when disposing of a part of holding of an individual investment, the carrying amount to be allocated to that part is to be determined on the basis of the average carrying amount of the total holding of the investment.
Thus, Quick gains Ltd., need to work out the average carrying number of investments at the time of sale. The average carrying amount for 4,500 equity shares in R Ltd. Comes to Rs.660. As against this average cost, the sale proceeds is Rs.850 per equity share giving a net profit of Rs.190 per share. Total profit on sale of 2,000 equity shares at the rate of Rs.190 per share will come to Rs.3,80,000 and not Rs.5,80,000 as accounted by Quick gains Ltd.
However, the situation would be different, if the shares in R Ltd. Were treated as stock-in-trade. In that case as per AS 2, the cost of stocks disposed of is determined by applying an appropriate cost formula e.g. First-in-first out or average cost. The profit computed by Quick gains Ltd. Would be correct, if the company had treated R Ltd. Shares as stock-in-trade and had followed FIFO method for its valuation.
Q5) Miracle Investments Ltd. Purchased cum-right 10,000 equity shares of A Ltd. At Rs.100 per share. A Ltd. Has declared a rights issue of 1:1 at Rs.20 per share. Miracle Investments Ltd. Instead of subscribing the rights, sells 10,000 rights shares in the market at Rs.50 per share and thus earns a profit of Rs.5,00,000. In its balance sheet, it accounted investments in A Ltd. At Rs.10,00,000 and showed profit on sale of investment of Rs.5,00,000 in its profit and loss account. Is accounting treatment adopted by Miracle Investments Ltd. Appropriate?
As per AS 13, where the investments are acquired on cum-right basis and the market value of investments immediately after their becoming ex-right is lower than the cost for which they were acquired, it may be appropriate to apply the sale proceeds of rights to reduce the carrying amount of such investments to the market value.
Thus, Miracle Investments Ltd. Should reduce the cost of investments by Rs.5,00,000 instead of showing profits of Rs.5,00,000.
Similarly, if Miracle Investments Ltd. Preferred to subscribe 10,000 equity shares of A Ltd. At Rs.20 per share, then the cost of the right shares should be added to the carrying amount of the original holding. In this case, 20,000 equity shares of A Ltd. Should be valued at Rs.12,00,000 showing an average purchase price of Rs.60 per share and not to be valued at Rs.100 and Rs.20 separately.
Equity Shares | No. Of Shares | Cost | Market Value |
A Ltd. | 5,000 | 2,50,000 | 3,00,000 |
X Ltd. | 1,000 | 80,000 | 1,00,000 |
Z Ltd. | 10,000 | 10,00,000 9,50,000 | |
| (a) | 13,30,000 13,50,000 | |
Unreliable Investments Ltd. Is holding following securities as current investments at the balance sheet date.
Unreliable Investments Ltd., has made a provision for diminution in value of current investments of Rs.75,000 as at the balance sheet date, comparing total cost of Rs.19,80,000 as against market value of Rs.19,05,000. Is diminution in value of current investments of Rs.75,000 made by Unreliable Investments Ltd. In compliance of AS 13? What provision for diminution in value of investments be required if the investments were considered as long-term investments? (7 marks)
A5) The carrying amount for current investments is the lower of cost and fair value. As per AS 13, two options are available of comparing cost with fair value. The more prudent and appropriate method is to carry investments individually at the lower of cost and fair value. Alternatively, investments may be carried at the lower of cost and fair value computed category-wise i.e., equity shares, preference shares, convertible debentures, etc. AS 13, do not permit valuation of current investments on overall (or global) basis.
Unreliable Investments Ltd. Has two options, either to value lower of cost and fair value individually or at the most category wise but not on global basis.
Thus, Unreliable Investments Ltd. Can value current investments individually. In that case, diminution for equity will come to Rs.50,000 and for debentures to Rs.1,00,000. If it opts to value category wise, diminution for equity will be Rs. Nil, whereas for debentures a diminution of Rs.95,000 will have to be provided. Provision of Rs.75,000 made by Unreliable Investments Ltd. Is not appropriate.
If the above investments were considered as long-term investments, then carrying amount would differ. Long term investments are carried at cost. However, when there is a decline, other than temporary, in the value of a long-term investment, the carrying amount is reduced to recognise the decline. The carrying amount of long-term investments is determined on an individual investment basis. Value of investment are obtained by reference to market value, the investee’s assets and results, the expected cash flows, type and extent of the investor’s, stake, etc.
Thus, Unreliable Investments Ltd. Will value its long-term investments at cost unless the decline in value is other than temporary. If O Ltd. Is not a healthy company and that the chances of full redemption are weak, then provision of Rs.1,00,000 may be called for as a diminution in value of long-term investment.
Q6) What is the Accounting for Investments? (5 marks)
A6) The accounting for investments occurs when funds are paid for an investment instrument. The exact type of accounting depends on the intent of the investor and the proportional size of the investment. Depending on these factors, the following types of accounting may apply:
Held to maturity investment.
If the investor intends to hold an investment to its maturity date (which effectively limits this accounting method to debt instruments) and has the ability to do so, the investment is classified as held to maturity. This investment is initially recorded at cost, with amortization adjustments thereafter to reflect any premium or discount at which it was purchased. The investment may also be written down to reflect any permanent impairments. There is no ongoing adjustment to market value for this type of investment. This approach cannot be applied to equity instruments, since they have no maturity date.
Trading security.
If the investor intends to sell its investment in the short-term for a profit, the investment is classified as a trading security. This investment is initially recorded at cost. At the end of each subsequent accounting period, adjust the recorded investment to its fair value as of the end of the period. Any unrealized holding gains and losses are to be recorded in operating income. This investment can be either a debt or equity instrument.
Available for sale.
This is an investment that cannot be categorized as a held to maturity or trading security. This investment is initially recorded at cost. At the end of each subsequent accounting period, adjust the recorded investment to its fair value as of the end of the period. Any unrealized holding gains and losses are to be recorded in other comprehensive income until they have been sold.
Equity method.
If the investor has significant operating or financial control over the investee (generally considered to be at least a 20% interest), the equity method should be used. This investment is initially recorded at cost. In subsequent periods, the investor recognizes its share of the profits and losses of the investee, after intra-entity profits and losses have been deducted. Also, if the investee issues dividends to the investor, the dividends are deducted from the investor's investment in the investee.
Q7) Write short note on Realized Gains and Losses. (5 marks)
A7) An important concept in the accounting for investments is whether a gain or loss has been realized. A realized gain is achieved by the sale of an investment, as is a realized loss. Conversely, an unrealized gain or loss is associated with a change in the fair value of an investment that is still owned by the investor.
There are other circumstances than the outright sale of an investment that are considered realized losses. When this happens, a realized loss is recognized in the income statement and the carrying amount of the investment is written down by a corresponding amount. For example, when there is a permanent loss on a held security, the entire amount of the loss is considered a realized loss, and is written off. A permanent loss is typically related to the bankruptcy or liquidity problems of an investee.
An unrealized gain or loss is not subject to immediate taxation. This gain or loss is only recognized for tax purposes when it is realized through the sale of the underlying security. This means that there may be a difference between the tax basis of securities and their carrying amount in the accounting records of the investor, which is considered a temporary difference.
Q8) Write short note on Current Investments. (5 marks)
A8) A current Investment is an investment that is by its nature readily realisable and is intended to be held for not more than one year from the date on which such investment is made.
Example: A Ltd. Acquired 1,000 shares of B Ltd. On 1st April, 20X2 with an intention to hold them for a period of 15 months. Suggest the classification of such investment (in accordance with AS 13) as on 31st March, 20X3.
Investment in 1,000 shares is not a current investment because it is intended to be held for more than one year from the investment date even though the remaining period as on the reporting date may be less than one year.
- The carrying amount for current investments is the lower of cost and fair value.
- Fair Value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged between a knowledgeable, willing buyer and a knowledgeable, willing seller in an arm’s length transaction. Under appropriate circumstances, market value or net realisable value provides an evidence of fair value.
- Market Value is the amount obtainable from the sale of an investment in an open.
- Market, net of expenses necessarily to be incurred on or before disposal.
- Any reduction to fair value and any reversals of such reductions are included in the statement of profit and loss.

- Cost of equity shares purchased on 1.4.20X1 = (1,000 × 120) + (2% of
1,20,000) + (½% of 1,20,000) = 1,23,000
2. Sale proceeds of equity shares (bonus) sold on 31st March, 20X2= (500 ×
90) – (2% of 45,000) = 44,100.
3. Profit on sale of bonus shares on 31st March, 20X2
= Sales proceeds – Average cost Sales proceeds = 44,100
Average cost = (1,23,000 /1,50,000) x 50,000 = 41,000 Profit = 44,100 – 41,000 = 3,100.
4. Valuation of equity shares on 31st March, 20X2 Cost = ( 1,23,000/1,50,000) x 1,00,000 = 82,000 Market Value = 1,000 shares × 90 = 90,000
Closing balance has been valued at 82,000 being lower than the market value.
5. Bonus shares do not have any cost.

Working Notes:
- Bonus shares do not have any cost.
- Profit on sale of bonus shares
= Sales proceeds – Average cost Sales proceeds = 45,000
Average cost = 500 × 62,500 = 31,250
Profit = 45,000 – 31,250 = 13,750.
3. Valuation of Closing Balance of Shares at the end of year the total cost of 1,000 share including bonus is 62,500
Therefore, cost of 500 shares (carried forward) is 500 × 62,500 = 31,250
Market price of 500 shares = 92.50 x 500 = 46,250
Cost being lower than the market price, therefore shares carried forward at cost.
