Working Notes:
1. Sales for period 1.1.18 to 15.3.18 `
Sales for 1 Jan. to 31 March (2017-18) (given) 3,80,000
Less: Sales for 16.3.18 to 31.3.18 (given) (1,20,000)
Sales for period 1.1.18 to 15.3.18 2,60,000
2. Calculation of upward trend in sales
Total sales in year 2015-16 = `   12,40,000
Increase in sales in year 2016-17 as compared to 2015-16 = ` 1,86,000
% increase = 
1,86,000 (14,26,000 - 12,40,000)
= 15%
12,40,000
Increase in sales in year 2017-18 as compared to year 2016-17
% increase =  
2,13,900 (16,39,900 - 14,26,000)
= 15%
14,26,000
Thus annual percentage increase trend is of 15%
3. Gross profit on annual turnover `
Sales from 16.12.17 to 30.12.17 (adjusted) (68,000 x 1.15) 78,200

1.4.18 to 30.6.18 3,24,000
1.7.18 to 30.9.18 4,42,000
1.10.18 to 15.12.18 (3,50,000 – Nil) 3,50,000
Sales for 12 months just before date of fire* 16,31,200
Gross profit on adjusted annual sales @ 20% 3,26,240
NOTE*: Alternatively, the annual adjusted turnover may be computed as ` 17,98,000 (` 15,64,000 X
1.15) considering the annual % increase trend for the entire period of last 12 months preceding to the
date of fire. In that case, the gross profit on adjusted annual sales @ 20% will be computed as ` 3,59,720
and net claim will be computed accordingly.

Insurance Claims
Q-1 A trader intends to take a loss of profit policy with indemnity period of 6 months, however, he could
not decide the policy amount. From the following details, suggest the policy amount:
`
Turnover in last financial year 36,00,000
Standing charges in last financial year 7,20,000
Net profit earned in last year was 10% of turnover and the same trend expected in subsequent year.
Increase in turnover expected 25%.
To achieve additional sales, trader has to incur additional expenditure of ` 50,000.
Ans.(a)  Calculation of Gross Profit
Gross Profit = 
Net Profit + Standing Charges
×100
Turn over
= (3,60,000 + 7,20,000)/ 36,00,000= 30%
(b) Calculation of policy amount to cover loss of profit
`
Turnover in the last financial year 36,00,000
Add: 25% increase in turnover 9,00,000
45,00,000
Gross profit on increased turnover 13,50,000
Add: Additional standing charges 50,000
Policy Amount 14,00,000
Therefore, the trader should go in for a loss of profit policy of `  14,00,000.

Working Notes:
1. Sales for period 1.1.18 to 15.3.18 `
Sales for 1 Jan. to 31 March (2017-18) (given) 3,80,000
Less: Sales for 16.3.18 to 31.3.18 (given) (1,20,000)
Sales for period 1.1.18 to 15.3.18 2,60,000
2. Calculation of upward trend in sales
Total sales in year 2015-16 = `   12,40,000
Increase in sales in year 2016-17 as compared to 2015-16 = ` 1,86,000
% increase = 
1,86,000 (14,26,000 - 12,40,000)
= 15%
12,40,000
Increase in sales in year 2017-18 as compared to year 2016-17
% increase =  
2,13,900 (16,39,900 - 14,26,000)
= 15%
14,26,000
Thus annual percentage increase trend is of 15%

1.4.18 to 30.6.18 3,24,000
1.7.18 to 30.9.18 4,42,000
1.10.18 to 15.12.18 (3,50,000 – Nil) 3,50,000
Sales for 12 months just before date of fire* 16,31,200
Gross profit on adjusted annual sales @ 20% 3,26,240
NOTE*: Alternatively, the annual adjusted turnover may be computed as ` 17,98,000 (` 15,64,000 X
1.15) considering the annual % increase trend for the entire period of last 12 months preceding to the
date of fire. In that case, the gross profit on adjusted annual sales @ 20% will be computed as ` 3,59,720
and net claim will be computed accordingly.

FAQs on Important Questions & Answers: Insurance Claim - Accounting for CA Intermediate (Old Scheme)

1. What is an insurance claim?

Ans. An insurance claim is a formal request made by an insured individual or policyholder to an insurance company for compensation or coverage for a covered loss or event. It is the process through which policyholders receive financial reimbursement or assistance for damages or losses that are covered under their insurance policy.

2. How can I file an insurance claim?

Ans. To file an insurance claim, you need to follow these steps: 1. Notify your insurance company: Contact your insurance company as soon as possible to report the claim. Provide them with all the necessary details and information about the incident or event that caused the loss. 2. Fill out the claim form: Most insurance companies will require you to fill out a claim form. This form will ask for details regarding the loss, including the date, time, location, and a description of what happened. 3. Provide supporting documentation: Gather any evidence or documentation that can support your claim, such as photographs, police reports, medical records, or receipts. 4. Cooperate with the insurance company: Be prepared to cooperate fully with the insurance company's investigation. They may request additional information or documentation to process your claim. 5. Follow up on the claim: Stay in touch with your insurance company to track the progress of your claim and provide any additional information they may require.

3. What factors can affect the outcome of an insurance claim?

Ans. Several factors can influence the outcome of an insurance claim, including: 1. Policy coverage: The terms and conditions of your insurance policy will determine whether the loss or event is covered or excluded. Review your policy to understand the extent of coverage. 2. Policyholder responsibilities: Your responsibilities as a policyholder, such as timely reporting of the claim, providing accurate information, and cooperating with the insurance company's investigation, can impact the outcome. 3. Documentation and evidence: The quality and availability of supporting documentation, such as photographs, receipts, or expert opinions, can significantly impact the outcome of your claim. 4.

4. What should I do if my insurance claim is denied?

Ans. If your insurance claim is denied, you can take the following steps: 1. Review the denial letter: Carefully read the denial letter sent by the insurance company. It should explain the reasons for the denial and any recourse options available to you. 2. Understand the policy terms: Review your insurance policy to ensure that the denial aligns with the terms and conditions of your coverage. Seek professional advice if necessary. 3. Contact the insurance company: If you believe there has been a mistake or misunderstanding, contact the insurance company to discuss the denial and provide any additional information or documentation that may support your claim. 4. Seek legal advice: If you are unable to resolve the issue with the insurance company, consider consulting with a lawyer who specializes in insurance claims. They can provide guidance on your legal rights and potential remedies. 5. File a complaint: If you believe the insurance company has acted unfairly or in violation of regulations, you may file a complaint with the appropriate regulatory authority or ombudsman.

5. How long does it take to process an insurance claim?

Ans. The time it takes to process an insurance claim can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the claim, the responsiveness of the policyholder, and the efficiency of the insurance company's processes. Simple claims with straightforward documentation can often be resolved within a few weeks. However, more complex claims that require extensive investigation or evaluation may take several months to process. It is important to stay in touch with your insurance company and follow up on the progress of your claim to ensure its timely resolution.
