Best case vs worst case
AFM
answered on 16-Mar-24 06:10
In determining the best cases and the worst cases, should we consider the CFS+Scrap value in total
latest answer
Ideally npv because scrap is 1 year number and flows are over a period. But if it is apparent on face that cf and scrap. BOth are low then that is worst case

Nominal Cashflows
AFM
answered on 16-Mar-24 11:23
Hello Sir, In this problem, when we are multiplying Real CF with the the inflation rate to find out the nominal CF are we not indirectly multiplying depreciation with the inflation rate. For example, if we find out the inflated value individually (for revenue and costs) keeping dep as constant, the cashflow for year-1 would ideally be 16000
latest answer
Because in Real method, You are doing 15000 / 1.0182 in nominal method you are doing 15000 x 1.1 / ( 1.1. x 1.0182)

Change in Depreciation Method - Change in Accounting Policy?
Accountancy
answered on 16-Mar-24 10:55
Hi sir, hope you're well. Like how a change in cost formula is considered change in accounting policy, would a change in depreciation methods also be considered change in account policy? Thanks
latest answer
A change in method of depreciation is dependent on the change in estimate usage pattern. It fulfills the criteria of both change in accounting estimate and accounting policy. For simplicity of application, as per A 10, it is considered as change in accounting estimate.

Salary of Non-Managing Directors
Direct Taxation
answered on 18-Mar-24 18:40
Hi sir, hope you're well. Monthly director salary for non-managing directors would not come under income under head 'Salaries' rather it would come under head 'Other Sources'. Would this still be the case if the director is a whole-time director for company (irrespective of it being Public / Private)? Since no employer-employee relationship exists. Also, if such case is there where the director's monthly remuneration comes under head 'Other Sources', would the basic salary be considered Rs. 0 in areas such as HRA, RFA etc. as well? Since such remuneration isn't being treated as salary. These are 2 doubts in this topic which I have. Thanks
latest answer
1. Non MD salary would be taxed under IFOS. Same is the case with Whole time director if he is not employee. 2. If it is not treated as salary then there is no question of breakup as such.
