(b) Explain the following:
(i) What are the objectives of accounting standards?
Accounting Standards standardise diverse accounting policies with an objective to:
(i) eliminate the non-comparability of financial statements and thereby improving the reliability of financial statements; and
(ii) provide a set of standard accounting policies, valuation norms and disclosure requirements.
(ii) What is the difference between liability and contingent liability?
A liability is defined as the present financial obligation of an enterprise, which arises from past events. The settlement of a liability results in an outflow from the enterprises of resources embodying economic benefits.
On the other hand, in the case of contingent liability, either outflow of resources to settle the obligation is not probable or the amount expected to be paid to settle the liability cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
For example - claims against the enterprise not acknowledged as debts, guarantees given in respect of third parties, liability in respect of bills discounted and statutory liabilities under dispute etc.
In addition to present obligations that are recognized as liabilities in the balance sheet, enterprises are also required to disclose contingent liability in their balance sheets by way of notes.
(c) A trader prepared his final accounts on 31st March, each year. Due to some unavoidable reasons, no inventory taking could be possible till 15th April, 2025 on which date total cost of goods in his store came to ₹ 1,50,000.
The following facts were established between 31st March and 15th April, 2025:
Sales (Credit): ₹ 70,000
Sales (Cash): ₹ 25,000
Purchases (Cash): ₹ 15,000
Purchases (Credit): ₹ 25,000
On 25th March, goods of the sale value of ₹ 30,000 were sent on sale or return basis to a customer, the period of approval being four weeks. He returned 25% of the goods on 12th April, approving the rest; the customer was billed on 25th April.
The trader had also received goods costing ₹ 10,000 in March, for sale on consignment basis. 50% of the goods had been sold by 31st March and another 25% by 15th April. These sales are not included in above sales.
Goods are sold by the trader at a profit of 20% on sales.
You are required to ascertain the value of inventory as on 31st March, 2025.

(b) Define Measurement and Valuation Principles in brief:
Measurement in Accounting involves identifying, evaluating and assigning a monetary value to transactions and events.
Three key elements of measurement:
Identification of objects and events to be measured
Selection of standard or scale to be used
Evaluation using that standard or scale
Four generally accepted measurement bases:
Historical Cost: Assets recorded at acquisition cost. Liabilities recorded at value of consideration received.
Current Cost: Assets valued at cost if acquired currently. Liabilities at present obligation cost.
Realisable Value: Assets recorded at sale value. Liabilities at settlement value.
Present Value: Assets and liabilities are valued at the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be received or paid.
