6-1 Q&A Asif Engineering Limited (ICAP Spring 2016) [X]
Query: Sir why you have taken the cumulative effect of dep exp in rectification in profit and loss, sirf jis saal ki dep exp hai uska effect usi saal ke profit ko impact krna chayie na, ye koi balance sheet to nhi hai, ke reverse me jaake ke cumulative effect le rahe hai dep exp ka.
Response:
1. Cumulative effect has not been taken in depreciation expense.
2. Stores were issued in each of three years 2013, 2014 and 2015 (as compared to single asset issue you might have seen in other questions).
3. If you compare working 1 and working 3, you will notice working 1 has period specific effect only as depreciation is PL item, while working 3 PPE has cumulative depreciation effect since it is SFP item.
Query: Sir PPE working 3 mai Cumulative Depreciation ki samaj nhi aarhi ...mtlb jb spare part 2013 kai liyai Year 2013,Year 2014,Year 2015 Mai 11 ,11,11 ka impact minus kiya hai to Year 2014 mai Cumulative impact kyooN liya mtlb 11 kai sath 24 .....ham 11 aur 13 separately b lai sktai thai instead of 11 and 24(Cumulative ) ....why there is a need of 24 here ....Similar case is in Year 2015....Waiting for your kind reply
Response: W3 is about PPE an SFP item as compared to W1 Depreciation and W2 Profit which are SPL items. If you compare working 1 and working 3, you will notice working 1 has period specific effect only as depreciation is PL item, while working 3 PPE has cumulative depreciation effect since it is SFP item. In PPE, accumulated depreciation (cumulative) figure is to be deducted rather than only Depreciation expense for the year.

6-4 Q&A Coal Limited (ICAP Autumn 2019) [X]
Query: Sir why we didn't consider impact revaluation loss of 40 in profit loss statement for year ending 30 june 2017?
Response: The disclosure under IAS 8 relates to comparative periods presented:
1. in SFP two comparative SFP are presented (so disclosure relates to those two periods)
2. in SPL only one comparative (i.e. last year) is presented (so disclosure relates to only that one period).
