Question 2.
X Ltd. purchased debentures of ₹ 10 lacs of Y Ltd., which are traded in stock exchange. How will you show this item as per AS 3 while preparing cash flow statement for the year ended on 31st March, 2011?
Answer:
As per AS 3 on ‘Cash flow Statement’, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in hand, balance with banks and short-term, highly liquid investments.

As per para 6 of AS 3, an investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent only when it has a short maturity of, say three months or less from the date of acquisition.

Analysis and conclusion:
If investment, of ₹ 10 lacs, made in debentures is for short-term period then it is an item of ‘cash equivalents’.
However, if investment of ₹ 10 lacs made in debentures is for long-term period then as per AS 3, it should be shown as cash flow from investing activities.

(a) R Ltd. had a bank balance of USD 25,000, stated in books at ₹ 16,76,250 using the rate of exchange ₹ 67.05 per USD prevailing on the date of receipt of dollars. However, on the balance sheet date, the closing rate of exchange was ₹ 67.80 and the bank balance had to be restated at ₹ 16,95,000.

Comment on the effect of change in bank balance due to exchange rate fluctuation and also discuss how it will be disclosed in Cash Flow Statement of Ruby Exports with reference to AS-3.
Answer:
Cash flow statement consists of: (a) Cash in hand and deposits repayable on demand with any bank or other financial institutions and (b) Cash equivalents, which are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk or change in value. Cash flows are inflows (Le. receipts) and outflows (le. payments) of cash and cash equivalents. Any transaction, which does not result in cash flow, should not he reported in the cash flow statement.

(a) Analysis:
In the above case, due to increase in rate of foreign exchange by 75 paise, there is increase (change) in bank balance. This increase of ₹ 18,750 (25,000 × 0.75) is not a cash flow because neither there is any cash inflow nor there is any cash outflow.

Conclusion:
Therefore, this change in bank balance amounting ₹ 18,750 need not be disclosed in Cash Flow Statement of Ruby exports.

Thus, the net increase/decrease in Cash/Cash equivalents in the Cash Flow Statements are stated exclusive of exchange gains and losses. The resultant difference between Cash and Cash Equivalents as per the Cash flow statement and that recognized in the balance sheet is reconciled in the note on cash flow statements.

Answer:

1. Interest paid by financial enterprise Cash flows from operating activities
2. Dividend paid
   Cash flows from financing activities
3. TDS on interest received from subsidiary company Cash flows from investing activities
4. Deposit with bank for a term of two years Cash flows from investing activities

Comment on the effect of change in bank balance due to exchange rate fluctuation and also discuss how it will be disclosed in Cash Flow Statement of Ruby Exports with reference to AS-3. (5 Marks) (May 2017)
Answer:
Cash flow statement consists of: (a) Cash in hand and deposits repayable on demand with any bank or other financial institutions and (b) Cash equivalents, which are short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are subject to insignificant risk or change in value.

Cash flows are inflows (i.e. receipts) and outflows (i.e. payments) of cash and cash equivalents. Any transaction, which does not result in cash flow, should not be reported in the cash flow statement. Movements within cash or cash equivalents are not cash flows because they do not change cash as defined by AS 3 ‘Cash Flow Statements’ which is sum of cash, bank and cash equivalents.

Analysis:
In the above case, due to increase in rate of foreign exchange by 75 paise, there is increase (change) in bank balance. This increase of ₹ 18,750 (25,000 x 0.75) is not a cash flow because neither there is any cash inflow nor there is any cash outflow.

Conclusion:
This change in bank balance amounting ₹ 18,750 need not be disclosed in Cash Flow Statement of Ruby exports.

The net increase/decrease in Cash/Cash equivalents in the Cash Flow Statements are stated exclusive of exchange gains and losses. The resultant difference between Cash and Cash Equivalents as per the Cash flow statement and that recognized in the balance sheet is reconciled in the note on cash flow statements.
