Plz refer Question No 5(b) given on page 13 of attached file relating to AS 30

My doubt is on part(ii) of question in case when contract is net settled by physical delivery. In this case,why then entry is of Rs. 2000

Instead it should be Equity .....106000

To Cash................2000

To Valuation Resrve....104000

bcoz fair value of asset is 106000 only & not 2000(wich is the fair value of Forward Contact)

Dear Sahil, This is a case of Futures Contract. I am explaining you the entire sum from both approaches:

01.02.2009 When Future Ltd. entered into Futures Contract -- NO ENTRY --

31.12.2009 When the Price per share of Future Ltd. was 104 + 6300/1000 = 110.30 Bank A/c Dr. 6300

To MTMDM 6300

Recognition of Derivative Financial Instrument (DFI) DFI (Futures)A/c Dr. 6300

To P/L A/c 6300

31.12.2009 When the Price per share of Future Ltd. was 104 + 2000/1000 = 106.00 MTMDM A/c Dr. 4300

To Bank A/c 4300

Recognition of Derviative Financial Instrument (DFI) P/l A/c Dr. 4300

To DFI(futures) A/c 4300

(A) IF NET SETTLED IN CASH: MTMDM A/c Dr. 2000

To DFI (Futures) A/c Dr. 2000

(B) IF SETTLED THROUGH PHYSICAL DELIVERY:

REFUND OF MTMDM: MTMDM A/c Dr. 2000 To Bank A/c 2000
UPON PURCHASE: Investment A/c Dr. 106000 To DFI (Futures) 2000 To Bank A/c 104000

NOTE: The entries before (A) and (B) are general that is applicable for both type of settlements. Usualy at the end of futres contract one can opt for :

SETTLEMENT IN CASH or PHYSICAL SETTLEMENT: One can opt for physical delivery i.e. purchasing the underlying assets only if they expect future increase in price which can gain them more as futures contract is already matured, and they have enough cash to purchase that.

MTMDM: Marked to Market Daily Margin. This is among one of the feature of Exchange traded derivatives. This feature is known as Daily pricing.

DFI (Futures): Derivative Financial Instruments

You should note a trick in this question that Futures Ltd. is about to purchase its own shares through futures contract.

Hope I succeed in solving your query.

Thanks & Regards

Sourav

But according to me entries given by u r correct

ooo i c, i can assure you this question is solved by me conceptually, for instance, you think yourself you have forward contract i.e. you have to pay 104000 if not settled in cash, then how can you record investments of 2000, ?

your preparations over for nov 11
