ANSWER TO THE QUESTION NO. 1

How revenue recognition principle was violated to inflate revenue, profit and share price by
Enron. (Enron case 2001)

Houston, Texas-based Enron Corporation was a US energy, commodities, and services firm. In
one of the most contentious accounting scandals of the last ten years, it was found in 2001 that
the corporation had been concealing billions of dollars in bad debt and boosting earnings at the
same time by abusing accounting rules. The controversy caused Enron's share price to drop from
almost $90 to under $1 in a year, causing stockholders to lose nearly $74 billion.

According to an SEC probe, the company's CEO Jeff Skilling’s and previous CEO Ken Lay
concealed billions of dollars in debt off the balance sheet of the business. Additionally, they had
exerted pressure on Arthur Andersen, the company's auditing firm, to overlook the problem.
Sherron Watkins, a former employee of Enron, testified in favor of the two, who were mainly
found guilty. Lay, however, passed away before completing his sentence. Jeff Skilling’s received
a 24-year jail term. Enron's bankruptcy and Arthur Andersen's disintegration were caused by the
scandal.

After the event, prosecutor Andrew Weissman indicted not just specific people but also the
whole accounting firm of Arthur Andersen, thus forcing the company out of business. As a
result, the convictions were as contentious as the company's startling collapse had been. The fact
that the conviction was eventually reversed was of little comfort to the 20,000 workers who had
lost their employment.

ANSWER TO THE QUESTION NO. 4

According to IAS 37, there are the criteria for recognizing and measuring of provisions,
contingent assets, and contingent liabilities from Generation next fashion company’s annual
reports.

R recognition of a provision:

 An entity must recognize a provision if, and only if: [IAS 37.14]
 A present obligation (legal or constructive) has arisen because of a past event (the
obligating event),
 Payment is probable ('more likely than not), and

5|Page
  The amount can be estimated reliably.

An obligating event is an event that creates a legal or constructive obligation and, therefore,
results in an entity having no realistic alternative but to settle the obligation. [IAS 37.10]

A constructive obligation arises if past practice creates a valid expectation on the part of a third
party, for example, a retail store that has a long-standing policy of allowing customers to return
merchandise within, say, a 30-day period. [IAS 37.10]

Measurement of provisions:

The amount recognized as a provision should be the best estimate of the expenditure required to
settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date, that is, the amount that an entity would
rationally pay to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date or to transfer it to a third party.
[IAS 37.36] This means:

 Provisions for one-off events (restructuring, environmental clean-up, settlement of a

lawsuit) are measured at the most likely amount. [IAS 37.40]
 Provisions for large populations of events (warranties, customer refunds) are measured at
a probability-weighted expected value. [IAS 37.39]
 Both measurements are at discounted present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific
to the liability. [IAS 37.45 and 37.47]

In measuring a provision consider future events as follows:

 Forecast reasonable changes in applying existing technology [IAS 37.49]

 Ignore possible gains on sale of assets [IAS 37.51]
 Consider changes in legislation only if virtually certain to be enacted [IAS 37.50]

Contingent asset:

 A possible asset that arises from past events, and

6|Page
  Whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or
more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity.

Contingent liability:

 A possible obligation depending on whether some uncertain future event occurs, or

 A present obligation but payment is not probable, or the amount cannot be measured
reliably

From Generation next fashion Company’s Annual Reports Disclosure:

Recognition & Measurement of provision: After analyzing the Generation next fashion annual
report of 2020-2021 we came to know that the company follows the recognition and
measurement of provisions, as per IAS 37.

Contingent asset & liability: Contingencies arising from claim, litigation assessment, fines,
penalties etc. are recorded it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be
measured reliably accordance with “IAS 37: Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent
Assets”.

1. Composition of Current Liabilities:

A company's current liabilities are its obligations or debts that are due in the upcoming year or
during a regular business cycle. Additionally, current liabilities are created or current assets like
cash are used to pay for current commitments. Current liabilities may be shown on a company's
balance sheet and include things like short-term loans, accounts payable, accrued obligations,
and other equivalent debts.

for at least a year. Payment of cash, goods, or services might be considered to constitute a
financial obligation. A debt is a liability when the money owing is for the repayment of a loan,
like a mortgage or an equipment lease. The balance sheet of a corporation shows liabilities.

Current ratio, quick ratio, and net working capital of the Generation next fashion.

Name and Formula Results Comment

2020 The current ratio compares a company’s liquid

assets with short- term liabilities. That means the
= ability of the company to pay the short-term
4601479769/4695441827 liabilities with the current assets such as accounts
= 0.97 receivables, cash etc. The higher the current
2021 ratio, the more liquid the company is. The ideal
Current Ratio = Current current ratio is 2:1. In analyzing the current Ratio
Assets/Current liabilities = for Masons Spinning Mills Limited company’s,
4759208393/1853201164 we can see from the above calculation, in 2020
= 2.56 the ratio was 0.97 times and in 2021 the ratio
were 2.56 times which indicates the company’ s
current ratio was in a good position as the ratio
increases, as the higher is better.

ANSWER TO THE QUESTION NO. 7

Debt to asset ratio, long-term debt to asset ratio of the Generation next fashion company.

Name and Formula Results Comment

2021 The debt to asset ratio calculates the
=3555997296/9448740870 percentage of total assets provided by
=0.37 creditors. The higher the ratio, the greater
the degree of leverage (DoL) and, as a
Debt to Asset result, the greater the financial risk and
Ratio=Total Debt / Total bankruptcy. We can see from the
assets preceding computation that the debt-to-
2020 asset ratio is 0.37 in 2021, indicating a
=3337755171/9227179044 high level of financial leverage. External
=0.36 sources fund about 0.36 in 2020 percent of
the assets, indicating a considerable danger
of bankruptcy. If the firm runs into
financial difficulties and fails to return its
long-term debt on time, it will go
bankrupt. Creditors, on the other hand,
evaluate the ratio to estimate how much
debt the firm currently has and if the
company can repay its existing debt, which
determines whether further debt is
required.
2021 The debt-to-equity ratio, or D/E ratio, is a

11 | P a g e
 leverage ratio that compares a company's
=3555997296/5892743574 total liabilities to its shareholder equity to
determine how much debt it is utilizing.
=0.60 The D/E ratio may be used to determine
Debt-to-equity (D/E) = the level of risk in a company's capital
Total Liabilities / Total 2020 structure. The debt-to-equity ratio shows
Shareholder Equity how much of a company's capital structure
=3337755171/5889423873 is made up of debts against equity. An
=0.56 investor, corporate shareholder, or
potential lender may compare a firm's
debt-to-equity ratio to historical or peer
levels. Here, we can see that the debt-to-
equity ratio in 2020 was 0.56, which was
lower than the debt-to-equity ratio in 2021,
which was 0.60, indicating that the debt-
to-equity ratio in 2021 was the greatest.

ANSWER TO THE QUESTION NO. 9

Providing final comments to my analysis of the ratios calculated above.

 Regarding the liquidity ratios, the company’s liquidity situation is quite good. The current
ratio, a value of 2: 1 is considered standard value. In the financial year 2020, the
company’s current ratio has increased from the previous year. It is a clear indicator of
taking the burden of short- term liabilities too long.
 The prospect of quick ratio is also similar, that means the company’s liquidity and
financial health is better as the ratio is increased from previous year, it’s a good sign for
more dependency on outside financing.

14 | P a g e
 Net working capital ratio was in a good position from the previous year’s which means,
the company have available resources to invest in any projects.
 Debt to Total Assets ratio is utilized for estimating the company’s debt utilization
capacity. Referring to the summary table, it is found that the company’s dependency on
debt financing is slowly decreasing in the financial year 2021; it is the least than the
previous year’s 2020. Meaning, the company is trying to use less debt and more equity to
finance its assets.
 Long Term Debt to Total Assets ratio was in 2021 is higher than 2020. It means that
company is using long term debt to fund and expansion of asset which is not a good sign
for the company.
 Diluted earnings per share considers what would happen if dilutive instruments were
exercised. Dilutive securities are non-common stock securities that can be converted to
common stock if the holder exercises the conversion option. When dilutive instruments
are converted, they raise the weighted number of shares outstanding, lowering EPS.
Diluted EPS was 0.00 in 2020 and 0.00 in 2021.
 P/E ratio in 2020 was 114 But 2021 EPS was 0.01 given in income statement that’s why
it’s could not calculated and evaluated. P/E ratio in 2020 company’s situation is
developing over the period.
