CA Inter Accounting - Chapter 1
1. INTRODUCTION :
1. It may happen that in case of a newly formed company that a running business is taken from a particular date,
whereas the company may be incorporated at a later date due to late completion of technical formalities. The
company however, would, be entitled to all the profits from the date of purchase.
2. No company can earn profits prior to its incorporation. The profits earned from the date of take over of business
to the date of incorporation can not be considered as revenue profits. Therefore. Profits earned prior to the
incorporation are treated as ‘Capital Profit’ and transferred to ‘Capital Reserve Account’.
3. If there is a loss during the pre-incorporation period it is debited to ‘Goodwill Account’. Because it is a capital
loss. Profits for the post incorporation period is treated as revenue profit and is available for dividend
distribution.
4. A private limited company can commence business soon after its incorporation, while a public limited company
can commence business only after obtaining certificate of commencement. In the case of Public limited company,
once the certificate of commencement is given, the company’s power to carry on the business relates back to the
date of incorporation. Hence, the date of incorporation should be taken as the relevant date for apportionment of
profits between pre and post incorporation periods.
Profits earned by the company from the date of takeover of busness till the first year ending date
Transfer to capital Reserve, can't be used for Treat as revenue Reserve, can be used for
dividend payment dividend payment
2. ALLOCATION OF PROFITS :
Profit earned by the company from the date of take over of business till the first year ending year ending date (which
may extend even upto 18 months) therefore should be split into two periods-
5. Prior-incorporation period (i.e. from the date of take over of business to the date of incorporation)
6. Post-incorporation period (i.e. from the date of incorporation to the year ending date)
The allocation of Income and Expenditure may be done on the following basis –
S. N Item Basis of Allocation
1 Gross profit Sales ratio
(subject to sales price level and cost price level
remains the same)
2 Cost of Sales Sales
X Cost price level
Sales price level
3 Expenses connected with sales viz. Discount allowed,
Commission on sales, Advertisement, Salesmen traveling, Sales ratio
Bad debts, etc.
4 Expenses chargeable to post-incorporation period only viz. Charge to post-incorporation period only.
Preliminary expenses, Director`s fees, Interest on
Debentures, Underwriting commission, etc.
5 Expenses based on time viz. Salaries, Rent, Rates and Taxes, Time ratio
Insurance, Depreciation, etc.
6. Expenses chargeable to pre-incorporation period only viz. Charge to pre-incorporation period only.

NOTES :
1. For the proper allocation of expenses, weightage is necessary for change in price level / borrowed capital / rate of
interest, change in number of employees / salary etc.
2. Sales may fluctuate from month to month. In this case sales ratio has to be determined with the help of expected
relationship of monthly sales with the total sales of remaining months.
3. In the absence of any instructions in questions, sales may be presumed to be evenly made over the whole period.
4. Audit fees may be allocated between the pre and post incorporation periods, as the audit is necessary for pre-
incorporation as well as post-incorporation transactions. The audit fees may be allocated on the basis, unless
otherwise any appropriate basis is available.
One of the view is that the audit fees arises only when the company is formed, it may be charged wholly to the
period after incorporation.
5. It is a common practice that the date of incorporation should be taken as the basis for calculation of pre-
acquisition profit since obtaining a certificate of commencement of business is purely a legal formality.
3. LOSS PRIOR TO INCORPORATION :

1. Sales ratio
The sales per month in the first half year were half of what they were in the later half year. If in the later half year,
sales per month is x then it should be .5 x per month in the first half year. So sales for the first four months (i.e.
from 1st April, 20X1 to 31st July, 20X1) will be 4 x .50 = ` 2 and for the last eight months (i.e. from 1st August, 20
X1 to 31st March, 20X2) will be (2 x .50 + 6 x 1) = ` 7. Thus, sales ratio is 2:7.
2. Time ratio
1st April, 20X1 to 31st July, 20X1 : 1st August, 20X1 to 31st March, 20X2
= 4 months : 8 months = 1:2
Thus, time ratio is 1:2.
3. Gross profit
Gross profit = Net profit + All expenses
= ` 2,00,000 + ` (1,23,000 + 50,000+12,000 + 78,000 + 72,000+5,000)

Working Notes:
1. Sales ratio
Let the monthly sales for first 4 months (i.e. from 1.4.20X1 to 31.7.20X1) be = x
Then, sales for 4 months = 4x
Monthly sales for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.X1 to 31.3.20X2) = x + 25% of x= 1.25x
Then, sales for next 6 months = 1.25x X 8 = 10x
Total sales for the year = 4x + 10x = 14x
Sales Ratio = 4 x :10x i.e. 2:5
2. Gross profit ratio
From 1.4.20X1 to 31.7.20X1 gross profit is 25% of sales
Then, 25% of 4x= 1x
gross profit for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.X1 to 31.3.20X2) is 30%
Then, 30% of 10x = 3x
Therefore gross profit ratio will be 1:3
3. Time ratio
1st April, 20X1 to 31st July, 20X1 : 1st August, 20X1 to 31st March, 20X2
= 4 months: 8 months = 1:2
Thus, time ratio is 1:2.

Megha Ltd. was incorporated on 1.7.2020 to take over the running business of M/s Happy from 1.4.2020. The accounts
of the company were closed on 31.3.2021.
The average monthly sales during the first three months of the year (2020-21) was twice the average monthly sales
during each of the remaining nine months.
You are required to compute time ratio and sales ratio for pre and post incorporation periods.
(RTP May 2021)(March 2018 MTP – 5 March)
SOLUTION : 22
Time ratio:
Pre-incorporation period (1.4.2020 to 1.7.2020) = 3 months
Post incorporation period (1.7.2020 to 31.3.2021) = 9 months
Time ratio = 3 : 9 or 1 : 3
Sales ratio:
Average monthly sale before incorporation was twice the average sale per month of the post incorporation period. If
weightage for each post-incorporation month is x, then
Weighted sales ratio = 3 * 2x : 9 * 1x = 6x : 9x or 2 : 3

Working Notes:
1. Sales ratio
Let the monthly sales for first 4 months (i.e. from 1.4.2020 to 31.7.2020) be = x
Then, sales for 4 months = 4x
Monthly sales for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.20 to 31.3.2021) = x + 25% of x= 1.25x
Then, sales for next 8 months = 1.25x X 8 = 10x
Total sales for the year = 4x + 10x = 14x
Sales Ratio = 4 x :10x i.e. 2:5
2. Gross profit ratio
From 1.4.2020 to 31.7.2020 gross profit is 25% of sales
Then, 25% of 4x= 1x
gross profit for next 8 months (i.e. from 1.8.20 to 31.3.2021) is 30%
Then, 30% of 10x = 3x
Therefore gross profit ratio will be 1:3
3. Time ratio
1st April, 2020 to 31st July, 2020 : 1st August, 2020 to 31st March, 2021 = 4 months: 8 months = 1:2
Thus, time ratio is 1:2.

1 Calculation of Sales Ratio
Let the average sales per month be x
Total sales from 01.04.2018 to 30.06.2018 will be 3x
Average sales per month from 01.07.2018 to 31.03.2019 will be 2x
Total sales from 01.07.2018 to 31.03.2019 will be 2x X 9 =18x
Ratio of Sales will be 3x: 18x i.e. 3:18 or 1:6
2. Calculation of time Ratio
3 Months: 9 Months i.e. 1:3
3. Apportionment of Salary
Let the salary per month from 01.04.2018 to 30.09.2018 is x
Salary per month from 01.10.2018 to 31.03.2019 will be 2x
Hence, pre incorporation salary (01.04.2018 to 30.06.2018) = 3x
Post incorporation salary from 01.07.2018 to 31.03.2019 = (3x + 12x) i.e. 15x
Ratio for division 3x: 15x or 1: 5
4. Apportionment of Rent

Working Notes:
1. Sales ratio
Let the monthly sales for first 4 months (i.e. from 1.4.2019 to 31.7.2019) be = x
Then, sales for 4 months = 4x
Monthly sales for next 8 months (1st August, 2019 to 31st March, 2020)
= x + 25% of x= 1.25x Then, sales for next 8 months = 1.25x X 8 = 10x
Total sales for the year = 4x + 10x = 14x. Hence Sales Ratio = 4 x :10x i.e. 2:5
2. Time ratio
1st April, 2019 to 31st July, 2019 : 1st August, 2019 to 31st March, 2020
= 4 months: 8 months = 1:2. Thus, time ratio is 1:2.
