Definition of Accounting Concepts
Accounting concepts means flow of thoughts of all wise accounting professionals of this world . It can also be interpreted as "process of understanding of accounting to make sense of universal acceptability. "
In other words accounting concepts some normal rules which can be changed but which has come in to existence with so many hard work of accountants in past. These are basics thoughts of an accountant.

Types of Accounting Concepts

To know more about Accounting Concepts are very necessary to learn because without this you can not understand the fundamentals of accounting. There are many concepts which an accountant uses in their accounting working.

1st concept – Separate entity concept

Under this concept the entity of business man is separate from its business. The main reason is that owner is just giver of capital but if he withdraws without any restriction or any control. Business can dissolve within two days. So every transaction related to withdrawing money from business must be recorded by accountant. So this concept gives us basic knowledge while we are recording transactions in our books that we must know that concern has its own entity and our duty is to record every transaction even it is related to owner or not . Businessman's capital is also the liability of business and if he withdraw for personal use , it is known as drawing and it is deducted from his capital . So under this concept , accountant records every cash , goods and usage of fixed assets for personal use of businessman and while he makes balance sheet all these expenses are deducted from businessman's capital .

2nd Concept – Cost Concept

Under this concept we record all assets on their cost not in market value. This concept is very useful for stable recording of accounting .Because if all transaction recording will start on their market value then it create tension to accountant. Because nobody can say what will the price of your fixed asset in next day. So record all assets on their original cost. But time to time depreciation is deducted from this . But we never record all assets on their market price .

3rd Concept – Matching Concept

When I was doing graduate from my college, my respected teacher taught me that matching concept is very important for an accountant. It means we will compare all expenses with the incomes of business. After matching or compare, it will provide you the real result of performance of business. We can say it profit or loss . So If today you want to know profit or loss of your business, let us start match of your business incomes with your business expenses.

4th Concept – Conservatism Concept

This concept is made when accountant thought that it is very important to secure our business. The risk of business is called losses. So it is the basic duty of accountant to secure his business from different losses. For securing Loss he can make different provisions like provision for doubtful debts, provision for depreciation reserve for contingent liabilities.

Definition of Accounting Concept
Concepts are the different thoughts given by expert in respective field. Now we come on accounting concept topic. Accounting concepts are also given by different accounts professional for development of scientific accounting. There are following accounting Concepts:-
1. Accounting Period Concept
According to this concept, every business discloses their result after certain period. That period is called accounting period. The time of this accounting period is one year which started from 1 Jan to 31st Dec. But some companies prefer to adopt the accounting period according to income tax financial period which starts from 1st April and close to next year 31st march. The main motive of making accounting period is that it tells us whether business has given good result or not.
2. Business Entity Concept
According to this concept, every business is separate from his owner of business. If businessman takes some money from business. Then it is just loan given by business to businessman. So, it is very necessary to record all transactions between business and businessman. This concept is very useful in partnership type or company type business because in that type of business we can charge interest on all drawing by partner and get earning from drawing.
3. Cost Concept
According to this concept, every businessman or accountant will enter all assets on cost basis in their books. He has no right to record the assets on their market value because market value is changing day by day. So showing correct position of business, it is very necessary to show all assets on their original cost at which we purchase it but we can deduct depreciation if it is not new asset.
4. Matching Concept
According to this concept, an accountant can get net profit or loss for business after comparison of all incomes and expenses of that business. Without doing this he can not get real profit or loss. So it is duty of accountant to make profit and loss account and show expenses in debit side and incomes in credit side .After this he must compare both side if incomes are more than expenses, it will be net profit or if expenses are more than income then it will be net loss

Definition of Accounting Terminology
"Accounting Terminology are such accounting words which are most suitable for describing its category. For example 'book of accounts' is general word and Ledger is proper accounting word for more suitable , so these accounting words are known as accounting terminology . "

It is very necessary for that person who is related to other field like technology or medicine . Suppose if a doctor or engineer want to know the term profitability ratio or know what is financial analysis . If you told them with explaining accounting terminology , he never understand . But if you will tell him basic accounting terms with explanation like what is asset and what is liabilities or what is capital , he easily understand if you give some guidance . Here I am giving some basic accounting terminology for this benefit.

1.Cash = Cash is that liquid part of money with this we can buy material goods .
2.Money = Money may be in cash , bank cheque or any bill of exchange
3.Material = Material means the goods which we use for production
4.Finished product = Finished product means goods which is produced after machining process.
5.Debit = It means , we write any amount on which have our some right ? suppose , Ram account is debit , it means ram gets some money or goods from us , so we have some right on ram means either we can get our money or price of goods . So accounts always given the name debit . In case of asset like furniture account debit means , we are the owner or purchases it from any other person. In case expenses , any expenses are debit because we take some service so we pay .
6.Credit = Credit means reduce some amount if we have to given to other . ? Suppose Bank has to given sham 5000 . This is the liability of Bank when bank paid to customer . Bank will credit the account of customer .
7.Entry = accounting of any transaction with systematical way is called entry
8.Owner's equity = Owner's equity means the claim of owner on the assets of business.
9.Creditor's equity = Creditor's equity means the claim of creditor on the assets of business.
10.Memorandum Account = This is the account which uses just as memory record but not formal account .
11.brought down ( b/d) = It means transfer from previous balance to new page or next day or next month .
12.carried forward = It means transfer of balance to new page or next day starting point of account or next month's starting point of account's balance .
13.Ledger folio= It is the specific number of each account in ledger , the book of accounts .
14.Contra = It is also show in the cash book in the form of C . When cash withdraw from bank or deposit to bank , it is known as contra , after this no need to show in ledger accounts because all dual process of accounting is completed in cash book .
15.goodwill= It means all profits which can count in money which comes from the reputation , quality products or name of company.

Basic Accounting Part-II

Difference between book keeping and accounting

1. Book keeping is just record of transaction, but accounting is huge science of recording, classification, analyze and summarizing of business transaction and interpretation of different result.
2. A book keeper always works under head accountant and book keeper is often said account assistant.
3. Calculation of tax and filling of tax return is the part of duties of accountant. But, he can take help from book keeper for tracking the total of the incomes of business.
4. Book keeping is just like machine work in which book keeper passes the vouchers into books but accounting work is fully professional and need high experience for analysis and interpretation of financial statements.
5. Most difficult part of book keeping work is to reconciliation of bank account with pass book, cash balance with physical cash in hand, stock in books with physical stock in Godown. Most difficult work of accountant is to make final account and analysis of financial statements.

What is accountancy?
Accountancy is the practical form of accounting. In many countries, all accounting courses are done by using word
accountancy courses. I think, accountancy is fully academic term of accounting.
Accountancy is related to making of final accounts and preparing of financial reports which are useful for business,
debtors, creditors, tax authorities and employees. In the British, Professional accountants have made the Consultative
Committee of Accountancy Bodies. CCAB is now a limited company with six members:
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI)
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)
The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA)
But, In India, accountancy is just basic introduction of accounting at secondary level and full course completed in graduate with learning of different subjects like financial, cost, management and corporate accounting. Both accountancy and accounting is branch of science and professional accountants use this science for recording, classify, analysis and summarizing of transactions of business and main aim is to provide useful information to interested parties regarding their business.
 

Definition of Journal
Journal is a day books in which bookkeeper records all the transaction first time . Transaction must be record in this book date wise and journal applies the rules of double entry system . Suppose Ram takes loan of Rs.100000 from his friend. Then what come in is cash and so cash account will be debited and His friend is giver of loan, so his friend’s loan account will be credited in journal.Journal entry will be passed in the journal of Ram
Cash Account Dr. 100000 /
To Friend’s loan Account / 100000
In other words journal is the book of primary entry . Whenever any transaction or event occurs it is recorded in the
first instance in the journal . There are various types of journal.

1. Purchase day book ? to record transactions relating to credit purchases.
2. Sales day book ? to record transactions relating to credit sales.
3. Purchase return book ? to record transactions relating to purchase returns.
4. Cash book ? to record cash , bank and discount transactions .
5. Journal Proper ? to record other transactions for which no specific journal is maintained .

All transaction are first recorded in the journal as and when they occur , the record is chronological , as otherwise it would be difficult to maintain the record in an orderly manner. The form of journal is given below :
Journal
_________________________________________________________________________
Date ? particular ? L.F. ? Dr. Amount ? Cr. Amount ?
________________________________________________________________________

The columns have been numbered only to make clear the following explanations but otherwise they are not numbered . The

following point should be noted :

1. In the first column the date of the transaction is entered , the year is written at the top , then month and in the narrow part of the column the particular is entered .
2. In the second column , the names of the accounts involved are written , first the account to be debited , with the word Dr. written towards the end of the column. In the next line , after leaving little space , the name of the account to be credited is written preceded by the word To ( the modern practice shows inclination towards omitting Dr and To . Then in the next line the explanation for the entry together with necessary details is given , this is called narration.
3. In the third column the number of the page in the ledger on which the account is written up is entered
4. In the fourth column , the amounts to be debited to the various accounts concerned is entered .
5.  In fifth column , the amount to be credited to the various account is entered .

Before one can journalise transactions , one must think on the basis of the rules given above , the effect of the transactions on assets , liabilities , expenses , gains etc. of the firm . In accordance with the effect , the accounts to be debited or credited will be determined . Then the entry will be made in the journal as indicated above .

How can make the journal entries
In the accounting education, making of journal is very important. Because without making journal entries, we can not calculate the result of business in the form of profit and loss account and balance sheet. So please care fully get the education of making journal.

Journal accepts the rules of double entry system. Rule for making journal
Every rule has two parts
•First rule for personal accounts

1. Who is receiver = Debit
2. Who is giver = Credit

•2nd Rule for real accounts

1. What comes in business = Debit
2. What goes from business = Credit

•3rd Rule for nominal accounts

1.All the expenses and losses = Debit
2.All the incomes and gains = Credit


•Practical example for making journal ?

Suppose Ram purchase goods of Rs. 10000 from Sham @ 10% trade discount on credit. After 15 days. Ram pays full settlement of all money with @ 10% cash discount.
Journal Entries in the books of Ram
Because goods comes in Ram’s business so Purchase account will debit with Rule 2nd and its first part
Because Sham is giver of goods so he is giver and account with his name will be credit with rule 1st and its second
part after this we will pass the journal entry
Purchase account Dr. 9000
To Sham Account 90000
•After 15 days will pass second journal entry in ram books
Sham Account ( He is the receiver ) Dr. 9000
To Cash Account ( it goes out of business ) 8100
To Discount Received ( It is the income of business 900

Trial balance and steps for making trial balance
Definition of Trial balance

Trial balance is the statement which shows the list of balance of all ledger accounts .It is made for checking mathematical error , making of final accounts and maintaining budget of company. Because of it is made on basis of company’s all ledger accounts , so we satisfy about mathematical correctness , if debit balance of this statement is equal to credit balance of this statement .
Steps for making trial balance
1st Step : Making all ledger accounts and the calculate their balance , if any account’s debit side is more than credit balance , its balance will be called debit balance , if the credit balance is more than debit side balance , it is called credit balance .

Basic Accounting Part-III

Bank Reconciliation Statement
Reconciliation of Bank accounts
Reconciling the Company's Bank Accounts with the Banker's Statement is a fundamental and regular task of Accounting. First, there should be the ability to 'check back' the correctness of the reconciliation. This has been done, by marking the 'Bank Date' against the voucher. For instance, if you have issued a cheque on 8th April, which was ultimately cleared by your Bank on 19th April, - you would set the 'Bank Date' for the voucher to be 19th April. This means, that when you next need to 'check back' whether the entry made by you is correct, you will only need to verify the Bank Statement of the 19th. Second, that you should be able to 'recover' the reconciliation as of any date. This is of crucial importance to Auditing. The Bank Reconciliation is one of the pre-requisites of Auditing and verification of the correctness of accounts at the year end. However, it is not a 'real-time' task – in the sense, that it is not done by the auditor's on the first day of the next year. This means, that the reconciliation made on 31st Mar, should be 'viewable' even in August, - by when almost all the cheques would have subsequently been marked as reconciled. This has again been achieved using the concept above.

Bank Accounts may have a different 'Starting Date' for reconciliation purposes. When you create a Bank Account, you are requested to give an 'Effective Date for Reconciliation' just before the Opening Balance. Normally, this would be the 'Books Beginning from' date itself. However, you could have imported data from a previous version of Tally or from any other system (where the reconciliation process was not available or was different. In that case, you may not wish to reconcile the bank account with your bank statements from the very beginning. Give the date from which you want the reconciliation facility to be activated. Then, previous entries will not appear for reconciliation, but will be taken as a reconciled Opening Balance. A quick experiment with Reconciliation will show you what is meant.

Here is how you go about it:
Bring up the monthly summary of any Bank Book. (You could do this from the Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, or Display/Account Books/Bank Books, and selecting a Bank). Bring you cursor to the first month (typically April), and press Enter. This brings up the Vouchers for the month of April. Since this is a Bank Account, an 'additional' button F5: Reconcile will be visible on the right. Press F5.

The display now becomes an 'Edit' screen in 'Reconciliation' mode. The primary components are:A column for the 'Bankers Date'
The 'Reconciliation' at the bottom of the screen, showing: Balance as per Company Books Amounts not reflected in Bank
Balance as per Bank The Balance as per Company Books reflects your Balance as on the last date (in our example case, 30- Apr). The Amounts not reflected in Bank is the debit and credit sums of all those vouchers whose Bank Date is either BLANK, or GREATER than 30-Apr (i.e. these vouchers have not yet been reflected in the Bank Statement).

The Balance as per Bank is the Nett effect of your Book Balance offset by the amounts not reflected in the Bank – which should equal the balance in the Bank Statement. (Of course, some variation may persist due to entries made in the Bank Statement which you have not yet entered in your Books – but since you WILL definitely enter them, and only then print your reconciliation, it will ultimately reflect the correct balance). You will find, as you mark off the individual vouchers by setting the 'Bank Date', that the Reconciliation at the bottom of screen keeps reflecting those changes instantly. When you are finished, press Ctrl+A (or press Enter as many times as necessary to skip over the unmarked vouchers), and accept the screen. (If your screen has a largish number of vouchers it may take some time to complete the acceptance – be patient).

The next time you come for reconciliation, you will be presented only with those vouchers which remain unreconciled. Thus, the task keeps becoming simpler.
Making of Bank reconciliation statement by yourself Bank reconciliation statement tells the reason why your cash books bank column is not matching with your bank pass book .

Free accounting knowledge
Free is only one word which is use every person when he or she search from google.com. So It is duty of every webmaster
to write the word in his website . So I am writing this article of free accounting knowledge .
There are 2 points if you wish to get this free accounting knowledge .
1.You must have save you energy and money
2. Your aim is to get knowledge and then next it also give to another without any cost.
It may be noted that the American institute of certified public accounts , in 1941 defined accounting as the
specialised art of recording , classifying and summarizing in a significant manner transaction terms of money which are
of a financial character and interpreting the result . In the course of the time the definition has become broader to
include imparting economic information to permit informed judgements and decisions .
Economic events have been defined as happenings of consequence to a business entity
Basic terms in accounting

•Financial Statements
Two basic financial statements are prepared by an enterprise one is profit and loss statement and other is balance sheet
•Accounting Equation
Three components of a balance sheet can be stated in the form of following basic accounting equation
Assets = liabilities + capital
This equation tells at the glance that the resources of this enterprise total and these assets are financed by two source
also known as outsiders claims and owner equity.
•Business Transactions
It can be a purchase of goods , collection of money , payment to creditors for goods and expenses . An event to be a
transaction must possess the quality of economic substance , relate to business and affect the economic results .
•Assets
These are economic resources of an enterprise
fixed assets are assets held on a long term basis , such as land , building , machinery and plant etc.
Current assets are assets held on a short term basis such as debtors bills receivables , stock , cash and bank etc.
•Liabilities
These are the obligations or debts that the enterprise must pay in money or services at sometime in the future . They
represent creditors , claims against assets of the firms.

Relationship of accounting with other field
Accounting is very close relationship with maths , economics ,statistics , business study and other area. Different formula used in financial , cost and management accounting can be satisfied on the basis of maths . In accounting , we records only economical transaction related to money or money's worth And our govt. policies effects on our financial accounts . Suppose if central govt. changes the rate of depreciation then our net profit and financial position will effect from this point . So we should necessary to understand the relationship of accounting with other field for better knowing accounting . Accounting , maths , economics and business study all makes good structure of a good economy . Because if one field is not fully developed , its side-effect surely
will be on other fields . Suppose if an statistics have to collect previous year market sales data but accounting of market is very poor so he will have to collect wrong data and different economic decision will be wrong . We can understand all field just as different parts of body , if one part is weak other surely effected from it .

Accounting cycle
Sometime , you read this term in any book about accounting cycle , But you would not research of this term . Actually accounting cycle is very simple term .It means that all the activities in accounting will absorb in first point and then it make accounting cycle .This term is very useful for an accountant because an accountant is man who maintain accounts .
Suppose Ram purchases goods from any company this transaction when comes in the front of an accountant , he records it after this he see its result on his final accounts but in last automatically it support to completing the whole accounting cycle . In other words any financial transaction is the beginning point of accounting cycle and an accountant must give importance to each transaction of business.

Depreciation and effect on final account
Depreciation is just decrease the value of any fixed asset.When you will use it ,then the value of fixed asset will be decreased . So calculating of net profit and correct financial position , it is the duty of accountant to show it in profit and loss account . Rates of depreciation may differ according to the nature of fixed asset some assets’ depreciation rate is low and other is high because high decreasing value due to expiry. In balance sheet ,we deduct depreciation from fixed asset .After deducting we can calculate net value of fixed asset which can be show in balancesheet .
Depreciation account can also be made by accountant but every year it must send to profit and loss account because this is nominal account . Different law like income tax law and corporate law fix this depreciation rate so we must see the reference of
depreciation rate from these laws but calculating correct amount of depreciation . Also , account manager should decide when a fixed asset will buy . For replacement purpose , it is duty of accountant and account manager to calculate and transfer and written off depreciation every year from fixed asset .Some business entity makes also provision for depreciation .The Balance as per Bank is the Nett effect of your Book Balance offset by the amounts not reflected in the Bank – which should equal the balance in the Bank Statement. (Of course, some variation may persist due to entries made in the Bank Statement which you have not yet entered in your Books – but since you WILL definitely enter them, and only then print your reconciliation, it will ultimately reflect the correct balance). You will find, as you mark off the individual vouchers by setting the 'Bank Date', that the Reconciliation at the bottom of screen keeps reflecting those changes instantly. When you are finished, press Ctrl+A (or press Enter as many times as necessary to skip

Depreciation

It is a gradual deterioration or decrease in the value of asset after using that asset in our day to day work or after spending of time. In this world, everything is perishable, so making true profit and calculates true value of any asset at present time, it is very necessary to depreciate on fixed asset and deduct from it.

 

Fluctuation

If you are doing business or linked with any business, you know that prices are always up and down due to changing in the condition of business environment. Fast changing in market prices is called fluctuation. It is not called depreciation because, it is not related to use of fixed asset. Fluctuation can also increase the price of fixed asset but after deducting depreciation, value of fixed assets will be decreased. Fluctuation is fully ignored and there is no accounting treatment. But we show depreciation as a loss of business.

Obsolescence

When new fixed assets’ quality, efficiency and capacity decrease the value and usability of old fixed assets, then it is called obsolescence of old fixed assets.The main example, we can look in different machines or technical equipment especially in medical field. Every new equipment decreases the value of previous equipment. Because of it is not related to the nature and use of fixed asset, so it is also not depreciation. Obsolescence is not important in field of accounting but it is important in technology research and marketing of product.

How to make fixed asset account under fixed installment method

Before making of fixed asset account, we must know following journal entries :-

1. For providing depreciation on asset at the end of the year

Depreciation account Debit
Fixed asset account credit

2nd For transferring of depreciation to profit and loss account

Profit and loss account debit
Depreciation account credit

In this method fixed asset account is very simple T shaped. There is not fixed Proforma for making fixed asset account

Methods of providing depreciation

There are many methods of calculation of depreciation . No one apply on the all assets , because , different assets have different nature and according to management policy and effect of laws specially tax laws , different methods are used for providing depreciation . There are 10 methods of calculation of depreciation . Out of which approximate 5 are the most important and it should be learned .
1st method of providing depreciation
Fixed installment method
Fixed installment method is that method , in which we calculate fixed rate of depreciation and then with this rate we
deduct every year from fixed asset .
Original cost of asset - scrape value of asset
Depreciation = ___________________________________
Effective working life of asset
For example Satifsan purchased an asset of $ 20000 and he can use it for 4 years and after four year its scrape value
will be $ 4000 . Calculate depreciation with fixed installment method
Depreciation = 20000- 4000/4 = $ 4000
Rate of depreciation = 4000/20000X 100 = 20%
every year we provide $ 4000 and deduct from original cost of fixed asset . So its other name is original cost method or straight line method of providing depreciation .
Benefits of this method
1. It is easy to calculate
2. It show zero value of fixed asset at the end of its life .
3. It divides all weight of total depreciation equally in all period of life of asset .
4. After providing depreciation , balance will shows correct value of fixed asset .
Disadvantage of this method
1. After showing zero value of expiry of fixed asset in books , but it is possible that asset is in good position .
Then what provision will show in books , this method does not tell to accountant .
2. Some assets ' value will increase after spending of time at there we can not use this on that assets .
3. There is no provision in this method for buying new asset after scrap of old assets .

Basic Accounting Part-IV

 

What is provision of depreciation account?
Provision of depreciation account is the account of provision of depreciation. First of all we should understand provision of depreciation .Provision of depreciation is the collected value of all depreciation .With making of this account we are not credited depreciation in asset account. But transfer every year depreciation to provision of depreciation account. Every year we adopt this procedure and when assets are sold we will transfer sold assets ‘total depreciation to credit side of asset account. For calculating correct profit or loss on fixed asset. This provision uses with any method of calculating depreciation.
There are following feature of provision for depreciation account
•Fixed asset is made on its original cost and every year depreciation is not transfer to fixed asset account.
•Provision of depreciation account is Conglomerated value of all old depreciation.
•Entry of depreciation will change also
Depreciation account Debit
Provision for depreciation account credit
•This system can be used both in straight line and diminishing method of providing depreciation.
•Calculation of loss on sale is very important where is provision of depreciation account is kept.
Which we can calculate with following way
Cost of sale of fixed asset XXXX
Less total depreciation up to the date
Of sale XXXX
____________________________________________
Written Down Value of sold asset XXXX
Less Sale price XXXX
___________________________________________
Loss on sale of Asset XXXX
___________________________________________
•This loss will show in the credit side of asset account
•At the sale total depreciation on of sold asset from its purchasing will transfer from provision of depreciation account to fixed asset account , its journal entry will Provision for depreciation account Debit
To fixed asset Account Credit
Diminishing balance method of providing depreciation
Diminishing balance method of providing depreciation is very important from accounting point of view. In this method,
accountant calculates depreciation on the asset from which he deducts all previous depreciation from asset. So, every year amount of depreciation will go down.
For example Suppose we purchase a machinery at $ 50000 and if we fix 10 % depreciation on machinery with diminishing balance method, then first year depreciation will $ 5000 , next year will calculate depreciation $ 50000 - $ 5000 = $ 45000 X 10 % =$ 4500
Third year depreciation will apply on $ 45000 - $ 4500 = $ 40500
So, we calculate depreciation on written down value of asset so , its other name is written down method or reducing
value method .
Now we are seeing the value of depreciation is decreasing
Ist year = $ 5000
2nd year = $4500
3rd year = $ 4050
Benefit or advantages of this method
1.This is also very easy method.
2.This is very scientific method and provides logic that which asset is abolish due to spending of time at that portion
of depreciation is not included in asset.
3.Income tax officer prefers this method for assessment of business and professional income.
If we buy any asset after first year, we need not to calculate depreciation from beginning.
Disadvantages of this method
1.In this method we also ignore interest on capital which is used for purchasing such asset.
2.All new and old assets are mixed with each other, for an auditor, it is so difficult to differ among them.
3.It is difficult to calculate optimum rate of depreciation
But we can use following formula for calculating depreciation in W.D.V. method.
R = 1 – ( S/C) 1/n
R = rate of depreciation
S = S is scrape value
n = n is the working life of an asset
c = c is cost of asset
Reserves
Reserves are accounting terms. In general, it is saving of money, but in accounting terminology , it has different meaning.
According to accounting technician, “ Reserves are that funds which withdraw from general or special profit of business and keep it in safe pocket of company. This sum is used when any loss happens in business. "
Accounting Experts always in favor to keep some money or retain some fund for future losses, because future is uncertain and for increasing working capital of business, accountant should retain some money out of total profit before distribution it to shareholders. It is shown in profit and loss appropriation account. Indian company law has fixed it and in other countries , their company laws fix it and from time to time change it due to changing businessenvironment.

Types of Reserves
There are two main types of reserves which I am explaining with following way :-
1. Open reserves
Open reserves may be defined all reserves which shows in the balance sheet. Every person or public can know such reserves of company. Those reserves provide full information to shareholders about which amount has gone to reserves or why they are not getting all amount of dividend. This type can also divide in sub parts

a) Capital reserves
Capital reserves are main type of open reserves. It is not created out of profit of company. This reserve is not used for distributing the dividend to shareholders of company. The main sources of these reserves are following:-

1. profit earned prior to incorporation
2. Premium on the issue of shares and debentures.
3. Profit on reissue of forfeited shares
4. Profit set aside for the purpose of redemption of preference shares.
5. Profit on sale of undertaking or part of it.
6. Surplus on revaluation of assets and liabilities.

b) Revenue reserves

Revenue reserves are that part of open reserves which are created out of profit of company. It is showed in profit and
loss appropriation account .It can be used for dividend to shareholders. There are following benefits of revenue reserves:

1. Extension of business
2. Set off unknown losses of business.
3. Used to create strength in the financial position of business.
4. To make stability in the dividend rate.

These revenue reserves can also divide into two parts.
i) general reserves
ii ) Specific reserves = Specific reserves includes dividend equalization reserve, debenture redemption reserve , staff reserve. Investment fluctuation reserve, taxation reserve and contingency reserves.
 

2. Secret Reserves

Secret reserves may be defined as that type of reserves which is not shown in final account of company. Means it has neither been shown in profit and loss appropriation account nor in balance sheet. These reserves can easy created by showing less value of assets and more value of liabilities in balance sheet. If a company has created such secret reserves for the benefits of company, it will be surely strong his financial position. These secrete reserves can be created by following ways:

• Showing heavy depreciation value
• Showing the less value of goodwill and closing stock of business.
• Secrete of sale value of business.
• Showing heavy liabilities which is not of company.
• Showing capital expenses as revenue expenses.
• Grouping of free reserves with creditors.
• Current asset not shown in balance sheet.

Calculation the credit purchase

1. Write creditor account on any excel sheet with making two sides one side is debit and other side is credit.
2. Write your business's creditors opening balance in credit side with giving by balance b/d name.
3. Write the amount that you have given to your creditors in the current year in the debit side of creditor account.
4. Write closing balance of your creditors in the end of this year ( this amount shows unpaid amount which is payable to your creditor at the end of this year ) in the debit side of this account
5. You will see that debit side is more than credit side of this account , the difference will be credit purchase and it should be written in the credit side of this account
6. Now you are seeing your credit purchase .

This credit purchase is very necessary when you will calculate the net consumption of your stock
because for calculating net consumption for stock , we always add purchase in the opening stock and deduct closing stock . This net consumption will show in profit and loss account or income and expenditure account .

Difference between revenue and capital items
Revenue item
If any item of business which does not create any asset of business that type of items are called revenue items, suppose we pay rent but rent can not create any fixed asset so this is revenue item and it must show in profit and loss account , but if we have a special fund for building , this fund create long term asset up to that period this will show as fixed liabilities . This is not revenue item .
There is also major difference is that revenue items benefit is related to current year but capital items' benefits are related more than one year. If advertisement's expense is 100 Rupees and its benefit can only related to current year then this is revenue item .
But if we expand Rs. 9000000 lakh on advertisement and its estimated benefit is for 10 years then this will be the capital item.
All revenue item will show in profit and loss account
And all capital items will shown in balance sheet or financial statement .
Capital loss
Capital loss may be defined as the loss relating to sale of any fixed asset or any other financial loss like premium given on repayment of debentures or bonds, or discount on issue of shares and debentures. Capital loss may explain with many other examples:
Ist Example
Suppose, if any machine’s book value is $ 50000 and sell it on $ 40000 and $ 10000 is loss on sale of machinery, this is called capital loss.
2nd Example
Suppose, if a company has 100 debentures of other company and each debenture is of $ 100 but these debentures are sold at $ 80 per debenture, so company is getting loss on sale of debenture of $ 2000. This is capital loss in profit and loss account of company, we can not show any capital loss. In other words these losses can not be debited in Profit and loss account of company. These all losses will show in assets side of balance sheet of company. After this, it is written off by dividing number of fixed years and transferring to profit and loss account. If you know what is mean of written off , then , I can also explain it , written off means that part of any expenses or loss which is transferred from balance sheet to profit and loss account for closing the account of loss or expenses , specially capital losses .

Revenue losses
Revenue losses include all losses which happen due to operating any business activity. It includes cash discount on sale, depreciation, loss due to falling of market prices. So, these losses will show in the debit side of profit and loss account of company. It is deemed that when we start the different activities of our business , many losses are happen , so it should be closed by transferring all these losses to profit and loss account .

Feature of revenue expenditures

There are following main features or characteristics of revenue expenditures . These features are very useful for your decision to adding any expenses in profit and loss account .
1. General operating expenses
Any expenses which is related general operation of business that all expenses will be revenue expenditures and will be debited in profit and loss account
2. Expenses related to short period
These type of expenses are related to short period, means benefit of these expenses is less than one year.
3. Expenses for maintaining the stability of fixed assets
These expenses’ main feature is that these expenses is useful for maintaining the stability or efficiency of fixed assets,
4. Recurring Nature
One of most important feature of these expenses that these expenses are recurring nature. In other words these expenses happen Again and again in general business activities. For example , expenses for giving refreshment is revenue expenditure because almost daily , these type of expenses is paid by company .
5. Helpful for maintaining the profit of business
These type of expenditure is useful for maintaining the profit of business , but also above features should include in the expenses which I have mentioned in above points because capital expenditure will also helpful for maintaining the
profit and you will then confused revenue and capital expenditure’s difference .

What are basic rules for making difference between capital and revenue expenditure

Ist Rule

All expenses which are done for getting any fixed asset must be capital expenditure. For example, expenses of carriage and freight for getting fixed assets are also capital expenditure and will include in the total cost of fixed assets.

2nd Rule

All expenses which are done for increasing the size or improvement in fixed assets must be capital expenditure.

3rd Rule

All expenses which are done for getting share capital or long term loan must be capital expenditure.

4th Rule

Look also nature of business , if business is relating to general goods sale -purchase transaction then above three rules will applicable but , if nature of business shows dealing in above transaction , then above transaction becomes revenue expenditure .

5th Rule

Legal judgments is also so important for taking decision , Like Income tax law 1961 has provided some rule regarding assessment of business and profession . These rules also give good guidance for making difference between revenue and capital expenditures.

What is deferred revenue expenditure?
As a matter of fact , deferred revenue expenditure is capital expenditure . Because , it has both quality of revenue
and capital items, so it is deemed as deferred revenue expenditure.
Example:
Heavy advertisement expenses , because this is for promotion of sale so, it is revenue expenses but because amount is too large so it is also capital expenditure. Now, it will include in deferred revenue expenditure. If we fix the target of getting benefit for this advertisement is 10 years and advertising cost $ 500000. Now $ 500000 is divided by 10 years and we get $ 50000 and it will show as revenue expenses in profit and loss account and balance amount of $ 450000 will show in balance sheet. Every year one tenth part of Original and total advertising expenses will go to profit and loss account. This deferred revenue account will close in 10th year when there will not be any balance for showing as asset in balance sheet .

There are also other deferred revenue expenditures like underwriting commission, discount on issue of shares and debentures , brokerage paid on purchase of shares and debentures, research expenses and development expenses

Definition of Drawing

We use drawing many times in financial accounting .Drawing here means any amount withdraw from business for personal use. Not only cash but if we withdraw any product from business or any asset of business for personal use that will be drawing.
It surely reduces the capital of any business. So business man must record drawing in his books so that accountant can calculate correct profit or loss of business man .Some accounting terms, Intangible assets
This is the asset which is not visible but we can feel them . The main examples of these assets are goodwill, patent, trade marks

Factitious Assets
If any asset which has no any market price that asset is called factitious assets .This is showed as expenses of capital expenditure . The main example of these factitious assets are Preliminary expenses , discount on issue of shares and debenture
calculations
1. cost of goods sold =opening stock + purchase +direct expenses - closing stock
2. Gross profit = sale price - cost of goods sold
3. Net profit = Gross profit - Indirect expenses
4. Commission on net profit before charging such commission
= Net profit before charging X Rate/100+Rate

Definition of Goodwill
Goodwill is an intangible asset which makes any organisation with his good name , by selling quality product , by selling product at less price .Goodwill can be earned by speaking sweat words to customer . An expert can tell about the correct value of Goodwill
but in general IT is the excess of super profit over general profit .or If any concern is gaining more profit than his general rate of return then it means it is generating Goodwill .Goodwill can not generate with in night but for generating goodwill any firm can take 10 to 20 years . Which is called long period is suitable for generating goodwill .
If you are selling your old firm you can also demand the value of goodwill with total cost of your asset . If you thinkthat Firm or company name is saleable in market .
Personal accounting means recording of domestic expenses and income . It is very necessary that to record your income and expenses. Because without recording your personal accounting , you can not make your domestic budget. If you are living in any noble family , it is you duty to complete your all expenses with your limited income , so make estimation of all monthly expenses . This estimation can be done if you have recorded early months expenses . So it is your duty to record your personal expenses. Recording of personal income and expenses is very easy . Just keep a Note book in you pocket and after spending any expenses you must record your expenses. After month you will see what is your total expenses and where did you expand it. On this base you can make you family budget. If you can not keep note book then you can record your expenses in excel sheet. In each night you can record full day expenses in different things like juice , ice-cream , wheat , petrol , dresses , fees , charity etc. After month total them you can get you monthly recorded expenses after one year you can your yearly real expenses . It is not necessary that all year we have to do same expenses but we can estimate our yearly expenses.

The theme of accounting education.
In beginning
I think that India is inventor of all basic rules of accounting because , In India all commercial activities are started . So Need of recording transaction is the first preference of India. All records kept in Sanskrit language. Accounting system is so scientific , no body can cheat in this accounting system. So there is not need of auditing the accounting in that time. Different countries visitors and businessmen came in India and took all knowledge of accounting and went to their country. So India is the first accounting Education giver
In the Middle
In middle of accounting education theme, we will take different scientist in whole world who gave their contribution for accounting education. I am giving giving their name and other detail Luca Pacioli (1445 - 1517) Luca Pacioli also known as Friar Luca dal Borgo, is credited for the "birth" of accountancy. His Summa de arithmetica, geometrica, proportioni et proportionalita (Summa on arithmetic, geometry, proportions and proportionality, Venice 1494), was a textbook for use in the abbaco schools of northern Italy, where the sons of merchants and craftsmen were educated. It was a compendium of the mathematical knowledge of his time, and includes the first printed description of the method of keeping accounts that Venetian merchants used at that time, known as the double-entry accounting system. Although Pacioli codified rather than invented this system, he is widely regarded as the "Father of Accounting". The system he published included most of the accounting cycle as we know it today. He described the use of journals and ledgers, and warned that a person should not go to sleep at night until the debits equalled the credits. His ledger had accounts for assets (including receivables and inventories), liabilities, capital, income, and expenses — the account categories that are reported on an organisation's balance sheet and income statement, respectively. He demonstrated year-end closing entries and proposed that a trial balance be used to prove a balanced ledger. His treatise also touches on a wide range of related topics from accounting ethics to cost accounting. John Mellis of Southwark, England had written his book in 1588 in which he wrote basic principals of accounting , which used in modern accounting. Richard Dafforne accountant There are so many accountant who contribute their time and energy to make accounting upto date.

In the End
In the end of this theme , I can tell you one thing that 100 billion people works daily in the field of accounting. From making of family budget to making of national and world project budget , accounting is used as scientific source of data , on the basis all future planning have been done by different people in whole world. If you are thinking that just passing the voucher entries and making final account is accounting , then you are wrong. Theme of accounting is in system not in doing just clerk work. Passing the voucher entry is clerk work. But If you are become real accountant in real sense . Then make your businessmen's all plans and budget by doing all analysis of finance statement. So that you will succeed in reducing every cost of business and increasing all incomes of business. All management accounting is nothing but proper utilization of financial accounting .

Accounting As an Information System
It is true that accounting is an information system. It is system in which an accountant gets all financial reports .These reports can be received by accountant if he takes all the steps of accounting procedure. There are following in points which show that accounting is an perfect accounting system? Accounting gives us profit and loss account and balance sheet , on these two reports , we get the information of revenue position and our financial position? Because in accounting , there is the facility of calculate cash flow statement and fund flow statement , so it provides us the information about our inflow and out flow of funds and cash? Accounting is an equipment in the hand of accountant and manager , with this equipment they can make their all future plannings, future budget .With accounting , they can easily estimate , is there suitable to invest money or not under there accounting reports.

Difference between Loan and Advance
Many accountants think that loan and advance is almost same . Both means when a person borrows the money from other, it is called loan or advance . But , If you will deep study of this , then you found many differences between loan and advances .
Loan means debt for personal or business purposes in which loan taker is responsible to return his taken money with interest .
Advance is to get money from those , which have our mutual relationship .
Suppose

•Employee can get salary in advance from his employer
Advance transaction will arise due to relationship between employer and employee .
•Debtor can give advance money for purchasing any future goods from his supplier or creditor . or Supplier can demand
advance money for passing his order .
Rohan has to buy of Goods $ 50000 in 5/5/2009 but he pay to Sham $ 50000 in advance in 5/3/2009 .
Loan is just Contract between Lender and borrower in which they fix their terms and condition .
What is rate of interest on loan , what is the installment amount , when installment of loan will given , What penalty
will be levied if , installment is not given at proper time and many more conditions they can fix .
But in advance , term and condition is fix on their relationship , a good relationship with employer , you can get
advance salary with 0% interest rate .
Sometime Imprest cash and call in advance is also deemed advance but these are not loan items .
IASB publishes his new amendments .According to this now IASB will gets public comments to clarify the requirements in
IAS and IFRIC 9 reassessment of Financial Instruments.Now any one can also read Financial instruments project page
print-friendly version of the press release.
The proposals are set out in an exposure draft Embedded Derivatives, on which the IASB invites comments by 21 January
2009. The exposure draft is available on the Website www.iasb.org.
Accounting Education means that education which teaches recording and maintaining books of accounts . This education came in existence after mathematics and Economics science . In the point of facts , if It should be said that above education is the base of accounting education . Above Education are very helpful for getting accounting Education . In accounting education , we learn what is way of recording our different transactions. With this education , we can calculate our business's result relating to different transactions and events . It is not easy to find to reward or return on investment made by businessman .

Suppose , A company whose sale is 6 Billion $ ( 6 X 1000000000000 $ ) and it has spread in 120 countries and if you are said to calculate the profit or loss of a company . Then , you will feel giddy . But ,if you learn accounting education , you will feel reposal and easement to calculate above profit or loss. This accounting education is also helpful for determination of tax because , if we learn to record all transactions in the books and on this base we can calculate correct value of tax and become responsible businessman of this nation. All tax officers or assessing officers confess the accounts of professional accountants who are expert in accounting education. Success of business is fully under accounting's thumb . It is impossible to develop business without accounting data and effective use of them for business plannings . For analysis of different statement is also depend on cost and management accounting which are subbranches of accounting . One of magistral feature of accounting is that this education is encumbrance on brain . All work is done in this education with fully scientific method of accounting . After spending of time , all other educations forget but accounting education is always young and challenging position in the brain of accountant . Accountant does their work with new power . It is the reason that as accountant's experience increases , by the way amounts to higher posts of administration .
It is true that getting of any education is no so simple and you have to face several difficulties . Like other education accounting education is not so easy . It is the way of complexities and Complications but student should do hard practice and try to understand accounting terminology . After this student can solve every problem of accounting .

Corporate Accounting Part-I

1st Maintaining the accounts relating to issue, forfeiture and reissue of shares.
When we issue share first time, it is the duty of accountant to records all the transactions relating to issue of share must be recorded in the books of company. The process of issue is completed the following way.

Corporate Accounting Part-II

SEBI Guidlines for determining maximum quantom of bonus issue

First test
Residual reserve test As per this guidline the residual reserve after the proposal of capitalisation ( bonus issu) should be at least 40% of increased paid up capital

5 Free reserve - 2 paid up capital before the bonus issue= -----------------------------------------------7

2nd test
Profitability requirement test
As per this guidline 30% of average amount of profit before tax in the previous three year should yield a rate of dividend of expended capital base of the company at 10%
= 3 average profit - existing share capital

3rd test
Maximum limit requirement
This test indicates teh maximum amount which can be utilised for issue shares capital at one time shall not exceed the total amount of paid up equity capital of the company
Amount of bonus < total existing quity paid up capital
To determine a maximum amount of bonus which can be decleared the test mention above will be apply . Firstly the first two test will be consider the amount of bonus will be restricted upto the lower amount but this amount will not exceed the existing paid up capital of the company .
In brief the following steps should be consider for the purpose of bonus
1. Bonus shares not permitted in less existing partly paid up shres are converted into fully paid up shares
2. Bonus can not exist teh paid up equity capital of the company
3. The balance of residual reserve must not less than 40% of increased capital

Accounting Treatment of issue of shares on premium and discount
Some time a company can decide to issue of shares on premium or on discount. In both situations we must know the basic concept before doing any accounting treatment.
Issue of shares on premium
Issue of shares on premium means that if company wants to get more money of each share. Then the company can demand premium with the face value or nominal value of shares. This is called issue of shares on premium. Suppose if the face value of shares is RS.100 Company can issue of his 10000 @ Rs. 105 it means company is also demanding RS. 5 per share as premium. According to new amendments in Company law 1956, Company must open security premium account, if co. issue shares on premium. All money which got with name of premium will transfer to security premium account . The following entry will passed in the books of company

1.For the due of share Allotment money

• Shares Allotment Account Debit xxxx ( with the total amount )
• Shares Capital Account Credit xxxx ( With the face value of shares)
• Security Premium Account Credit xxxx( With the amount of premium)

2. For Allotment money Received

• Bank Account Debit xxxx ( face value + Premium )
• To Share Allotment Account xxxx

If company has demanded the premium with his call money from share holders , then on the place share allotment account we must write share call account , all other journal entry will be same.
According to Section 78 , We will use this fund according to guidelines of law.

Meaning of Issue of shares at discount :-
It means that company demands less amount than face value of shares .This less amount is called discount on issue of shares .
Journal entry of discount on issue of shares
When we receive allotment by giving discount on issue of share
1 Amount due of allotment
Share Allotment Account Debit xxxx( face value of allotment – discount)
Discount on issue of share account Debit xxxx( amount of discount)
To Share capital account

Accounting treatment of issue of share for purchasing an fixed asset

In the situation when company want to buy any fixed asset , then company can issue shares to supplier of fixed asset .
At this time company pass the following journal entries :-

For purchasing fixed on credit

Fixed asset account debit xxx
Creditor account credit xxx
For issue of shares

In case if company issue in premium or on discount to the suppliers of fixed asset . Then we first calculate the number of shares for doing any accounting treatment for this

In case of issue at premium


Numbers of shares
Value of Fixed asset= -----------------------Value of per share (Face value + premium)

In case if issue of shares at discount

Numbers of shares

Value of Fixed asset= ------------------------Value of per share (Face value – Discount per share)
After this the following journal entry will pass
Suppose xy company purchase the machinery of RS. 90000 by issue of shares at discount of shares of 10% if face value of share is RS.10
Journal entries
Machinery account debit 90000
Creditor account credit 90000

Amount of discount =RS.10000

Creditor account Debit 90000
Discount on issue of share account debit 10000
Share capital account credit 100000
Suppose xy company purchase the machinery of RS. 120000 by issue of shares at Premium of shares of 20% if face value of share is RS.10

By share capital Account 2000
Suppose we get 100 shares forfeiture money received
Rs,20 per share
_________
2000
________ _
Debit Side of this account
To share capital account 250
Suppose we have reissue of 50 shares at reissue discount Rs.5

To capital Reserve account
We will calculate this amount after deducting the proportion of of this gain according to sold shares
2000 x 50/100 – 250 = 750

Accounting Treatment of Provision for Income Tax
Before writing this article , I have studied deeply several books of accounting . Actually this type of provision is needed in Corporate type business . Because in the sole trade and partnership firm there is no treatment of provision for income tax and income tax paid because above two type business level , it is the duty of business man to pay income tax personally . So in above situation if he take any fund from business for paying income tax , it is deemed as drawing or other words we can say that his capital will reduce if you pick some amount for paying any income tax . No other treatment is done in sole trade or partner ship

Now In Case of Company or Corporate
I am giving you full detail of accounting treatment , if you have to do this type of work in any company .

Ist Step
Understanding the meaning of Company . I have already read on it see .
2nd Step
Understanding the meaning of provision of Income tax

In India , we all company pay income tax of previous year income . Means what we earn in last year we have to pay tax on next year that is called assessment year. But Under the law of Income tax , all company have to pay tax in advance .
So without actual earning we starts to estimate earning .
For Example
Suppose company can guess that it will earn RS. 5 crore in this year .
So on this advance guess company make his reserve or provision of income , it may be the 5% or 10% or 15% or 30% on his estimated income. This is called provision for income tax .
Now company Make the voucher entry of this provision by providing amount from profit and loss account
Profit and loss account Debit
Provision for income tax account Credit
After provision or estimated income tax , company submit his advance income tax return to income tax department ,
then pass the following entry
Advance Income tax account debit
Bank Account credit
After one year when income tax department calculate the real income tax by providing the real income position of company in previous year .

•Adjustment of actual income tax with provision
Actual income tax will adjust with provision of income tax by passing following adjustment entry
Provision for income tax account Debit
Income tax Account ( Actual after assessment ) credit

•We must calculate the difference between actual paid tax and ( advance + tds )
If advance and tds is more than actual tax , then income tax department return your excess tax paid
At this time two general entries will pass
1st transfer advance tax and tds to income tax account
Income tax account debit
Advance tax account Credit
Tds account Credit
2nd journal entry will pass for return the amount
Bank account debit
Income tax account credit
If advance and tds is less than actual tax , then income tax department demand more tax from you , and you will pay by following journal entry
1st transfer advance tax and tds to income tax account
Income tax account debit
Advance tax account Credit
Tds account Credit
2nd journal entry will pass for return the amount

•This account is opened with credit balance of net profit ,
•In the debit side , we show interest on capital , salary and commission of partners and
•in credit side we shows interest on drawing , after adjusting these items , we transfer net profit to partners capital accounts in their profit sharing ratio
•In Absence of any partner ship deed Partner will divide profit or loss equally
•No interest on capital is given
•No interest on drawing is given
•No salary to any partner Interest on loan given by any partner is 6% annual.


Practical Problem of Partner ship accounting
Suppose A and B are the partners . They do not have any partnership agreement . How will you solve the following disputes among them ?
a) A spent twice the time that B devoted to business .A claims that he should get a salary of Rs. 3000 per month for extra time spent Ans. No Salary will be given in the absence of any agreement .

Accounting treatment of partnership accounts at the time of admission

Accounting treatment on the time of Admission of new partner
Calculating New and sacrificing ratio

Method of calculating goodwill
Correct calculation of goodwill is very difficult work. But with using correct formulae of specific method , you can
easily calculate goodwill . There are four methods to calculate goodwill .
Ist Method
Average profit method
In this method, we calculate previous year’s profits average and then we multiply it with number of purchase years.
2nd Method
Super profit method
In this method, we calculate normal profit with normal rate on investment. Then we calculate super profit with
following formula.
Super profit = average profit / actual profit – normal profit
Goodwill = super profit X No. of purchase years
3rd Method
Capitalization method
In this method, we calculate capital employed with following formula
Capital employed = average profit or normal profit X 100/ Rate
Goodwill = capital employed – Net Assets
4th Method

Capital Adjustment
When two or more partner decides to change their capital according to their profit and loss ratio , then it is necessary to make capital adjustment in the form of cash .

For Example: Suppose one partner A who invested Rs. 100000 and other partner B invested Rs 200000 . If they decides to divide their capital in their profit sharing ratio and suppose their profit and loss sharing ratio is 1:1 then we calculate total capital first that is Rs.300000 and if we divide into ½ and ½ , it will be 150000 and150000 to A and B. so A will invest more 50000 Rupees and B will withdraw Rs . 50000 because his old capital excess Rs.50000 from his new capital .
Then the journal entry will pass in the books of account

How can You calculate new and sacrifice ratio at the time of admission of new partner
Calculation of new and sacrifice ratio at the time of admission of new partner is very easy. If you want to calculate new profit sharing ratio, you should only calculate the difference between old and sacrifice ratio .Sacrifice ratio means total sacrifice of old partner for new partner.
It is given by old partner to new partner so if you want to calculate new profit sharing ratio, you just deduct this from old profit sharing ratio. But in different situation, partner can make condition at the time of admission, and fix his surrender share for new partner from his share then we first calculate sacrifice ratio and then calculate new profit sharing ratio.
For example Ram and sham are the two partners with profit sharing ratio are 3:2. Sita enters in this partner ship. Both after that sita will take ¼ as new share, If agree that Ram will give 20% of his share and balance will give by Sham then we will calculate both new and sacrifice profit sharing ratio as bellow way.
Solution :-
Ram’s sacrifice = 3/5X20% =0.12
Sham’s sacrifice =1/5-0.12 = 0.08
New profit share of Ram = 3/5 -0.12 = 0.48
New profit share of Sham = 2/5 – 0.08 = 0.32
New profit share of Sita = 1/5 = 0.20

Accounting treatment of goodwill at the time of admission

Adjustment of capital at the time of admission of new partner
When a new partner in partnership firm , he and other partner can agree for the capital adjustment on the basis of new profit sharing ratio and new partner’s capital as base . In such condition , we first calculate total capital on the basis of new partner’s capital. "
Suppose Vinod is new partner in the firm of vijay and rajesh with 3:2 and their capital are Rs. 10000 and Rs. 30000 but Vinod will ¼ share . He brings Rs. 10000 as capital . If all the partner agree to adjust their capital according to new profit sharing ratio , then calculate who invest more capital in cash form or who withdraw his excess capital
Total capital = 10000 X 4/1 =40000
Vijay’s new capital = 40000 X 9/20 = 18000
Rajesh’s new capital = 40000 X 4/20 = 8000
Vijay brings his external capital in cash because now he needs = 18000-10000 = 8000
But Rajesh withdraw his
excess capital = 30000-8000 = 22000

Difference between memorandum revaluation account and revaluation account
In the partnership accounting, at the time of retirement or admission, we either make revaluation account or make memorandum revaluation account but we should know the main difference between both
1.In memorandum revaluation account we make reciprocal entries in same account for covering double record system but in
   revaluation account we make only one side record.
2.In memorandum revaluation system of accounting, we can not change the value of assets or liabilities outside because all the
    procedure of double record is completed in memorandum revaluation account.
3.In memorandum revaluation account , first we divide profit or loss on revaluation is in old profit sharing ratio among all partners
   but after reciprocal entries recording we divide partner in new profit sharing ratio but in revaluation account we only divides in
   old profit sharing ratio
4.Making of memorandum revaluation account is not necessary but making of revaluation account is very necessary .


Accounting treatment at the time of retirement

Dead partner’s executer account
This is very simple account and it is open when Firm has to pay deceased partner’s executors. In this account first of all we calculate payable amount then we calculate per year installment of executors then include total interest in this amount every year.
I am trying to make you understand with an example suppose firm has to pay RS 100000 to the executor of dead partner B
in four installment with 10% rate of interest . For this we divide Rs 100000 by 4 and it will Rs. 25000 every year but
first year we include
1st installment Rs. 25000 + interest of Rs. 100000 X 10% =35000
2nd installment Rs. 25000+ interest of Rs. 75000 x 10% =32500
and same procedure for 3rd and 4th year . This is the easy method of given amount to executor of deceased partner

Financial Accounting Part-III

Accounting treatment at the time of Dissolution of Firm
You must know the definition of dissolution of firm before completing the accounting treatment at the time of dissolution .
Dissolution is the end of firm and its work . In other words , after dissolution , firm will not continue same business with same partners because there are so many causes of dissolution of firm . Dissolution may be with or without interfere of court . When faith among partners have completely ended or partners are continuing illegal business or all the partners became insolvent then court may order to dissolute the firm and distribute firms asset among the creditors of firm .
At this time for proper allocation of assets among liabilities , it is very necessary to treatment each and every accounting elements .
1st step
Making the account of Realisation.
· In the debit side of this account we will transfer all current and fixed assets at book value except cash and bank account.
· In the credit side of this account we will transfer all the liabilities except general reserve and capital accounts
· In the debit side of this account we will show the all the amount of payment of creditors in cash or if any partner
  take over any liabilities .
· In the credit side of this account we will show the amount received after sale of the assets or name of partner’s capital account if
  he takes over any particular asset.
· In the debit side of this account we will also show the expenses of realization of assets .
· The difference of this account will profit or loss which will transfer to capital accounts of partners in their profit and loss sharing
   ratio.
2nd step
Making of capital accounts
After this capital accounts of partner will be made . This account will open with opening balance of their capital. In the credit side we will transfer general reserve share , profit share of realization account this account show the new amount that will be paid to each partner after dissolution .
3rd step
Making of cash or bank account. This will the last account which will make at the time of dissolution because at the time of dissolution , it is necessary to make this account . This account shows receipt and payment of cash or bank at the end of business. There must not a balance at the end of business in this account . If the debit side of this account is equal to the credit side of this account , you are made proper this account .

Accounting Treatment of Assets and liabilities taken by partner at the time of dissolution
When a partner agree to pay the liabilities or take over any asset then firm will make the realisation account and respective partner who take over the asset will credit in realisation account and if he agree to pay the liabilities then his account will debit in realisation account . For this we will pass the journal entry.

1. For take over the assets Partner's capital account Dr. ( Who take over the assets)
    To realisation account ( With accepted amount)
2. For paying any liability by any partner at the time of dissolution
    Realisation account Dr. ( accepted pay the amount)
    To Partner's capital Account( Who pays the amount of liability)

Explanation the scheme of Gradual realisation of assets and Piecemeal distribution
Generally we see that a long time is spent on realisation of assets after dissolution of firm . But we can distribute it in installment basis . When any part of assets sells and we get the amount that amount is called gradual realisation and its piecemeal distribution is done with following method.

1) First of all we pay all realisation expenses out of series realisation of assets
2) After this we pay outside liabilities like trade creditors , B/P out of this realisation of assets.
3) After this we repay the loan of partner .
4) In end we repay the partner's capital out of this realisation of assets
 

Accounting procedure for Convertion of a partnership into Limited Company

What is Investment ?
Investment are those assets of businessman by which he earn dividend , interest , rent or profit due to increase the value of investment .Current stock is not called investment because businessman purchases them for selling, in other words, the do businessof that stock.
Generally businessman invests money in property and building so, these are the basic investments.According to Accounting Standard 13 “Investment is the assets held by enterprise for earning income by way of dividends, interest and rent."
Types of Investment
Investment may be short term or long term.
We can also include shares, debentures, and bonds and mutual funds of other company, if we purchase them for the
purpose of earning of interest or dividend from them.

1. Commodity business: - These are general type of business which deal in products but invests his extra money in different property, shares and bonds.
2. Financial business: - If any business which deal in the trading of shares, or debentures or any other fixed property. Then his work is to purchase and sale of such product and earn profit from them. This is special case .
According to AS -13 , at this time , these products will deem as his stock item not investment .
Com- Interest Investment
When a businessman buys investment include its cost and accrued interest . Then this investment is called com-interest investment. So it is the duty of accountant to separate both .
Calculation of accrued interest = face value of security purchase X period( months )
_________________________________________________________

12 X 100
Calculation of cost of investment = ( Quotation price X No. of security purchase ) – Accrued interest as per calculated
Ex- Interest Investment
When businessman buys investment on its cost and gives accrued interest amount extra to the seller .
Nominal Value
Nominal Value is face value of security . This is so important in investment accounting . Because interest is calculated on nominal value of security .

On 1st jan 2008 S.P. Ltd purchase 1000 15 % debentures of Reliance Ltd. Of Rs. 100 each @ Rs. 96 each . On 1st july
2008 , ½ of debentures were sold at Rs. 99 each . Debenture interest is payable half yearly on 30th june and 31st
December . Pass voucher entries in tally 9
Working notes
1) Interest on 30th june 2008 will be received 15% on Rs 100000 for 6 months interest = Rs. 100000 X 15/100 X 6/12 =
Rs. 7500
2) ½ of debentures were sold @ Rs. 99 . Therefore sale proceeds will be Rs. 99 X 500 = Rs. 49500
3) Interest on 31st December 2008 will be received @ 15% on Rs. 50000 for 6 months . Interest = Rs. 50000 X 15/100 X
6/12 = Rs. 3750
4) profit on sale of investment = 49500-48000 = Rs. 1500
For recording above transaction in tally 9
1) First of all create S.P. Ltd in tally 9
2) Activate interest calculation in feature F11
3) Create ledger of 15 Debenture in reliance Co. account under investment account , bank account under bank account , Interest account under indirect income .

Insurance is the contract in which Mercantilist pays minimum amount of premium to insurance company, and shift his burden of risk of loss on the head of insurance company. Insurance company incurred the loss of Mercantilist if it is under the policy of insurance. Generally Mercantilist does the insurance of many risks like fire of shop or office or plant, fire of stock and loss of profit.
If Godown or office caught fire. Suppose fire to Godown and insurance company’s special evaluator can easily evaluate the loss of building due to fire. But it is most difficult to calculate loss of stock or loss of profit. Only accounting professionals can solve this problem with scientific rules and regulations of accounting.

Calculation the value of stock lost due to fire

Statement Form – Ist way
Particular Amount
Stock in the beginning of the year xxxx
Add : purchase from the beginning of accounting
Year to the date of fire (+) xxxx
------------------------------------------------------------------
XXXX
Less : cost of goods sold from the beginning of
Accounting year to the date of fire (-) XXXX
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Value of stock on the date of fire XXXXX
Less : Stock of Salvaged or saved from fire (-) XXXX
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Value of stock lost due to fire XXXXX
----------------------------------------------------------------
Or
You can make memorandum trading accounting - 2nd Way
“Memorandum trading account is not part of final account but it is just part of working notes for calculating the net
value of stock due to fire.”
Remembering pin -point
1. From both above two methods we must need to calculate gross profit rate. There are following way to calculate gross
profit of business. There are following way to calculate gross profit of business
i) Average of old year gross profit method
ii) Previous gross profit method
G.P. Rate = Previous year Gross profit / Sale of previous year X 100
2. Average Clause
“ Average clause means insurance company will pay only insurance in the proportion of actual loss . Before this rule businessman used to take insurance policy below the actual amount of his asset. So , Now under this method his claim will be reduced . "

Formula of Calculating of Claim of loss of stock =
Amount of policy X stock destroyed
----------------------------------------------
Stock on the date of fire
Suppose, xyz Co. got the insurance policy of $ 10000 but his stock value is $ 20000 and actual loss is $ 5000. Now we
will calculate claim under average clause
Claim accept = 5000 X 10000/ 20000 = $2500
3. Some time, information of opening stock , purchase and sale is not give by businessmen , so calculating correct value of loss due to fire it is very necessary to make total debtor account , total creditor account and previous year trading account .

Procedure of calculating loss of profit
Many commerce students are confused about how to calculate loss of profit. They know that businessman can take loss of profit, due to dislocation of business after fire to concern . It can also take with fire insurance policy. But for getting claim , the businessman want to calculate exact loss of net profit from the date of fire to that day in which business becomes normal .

Steps of calculating loss of profit
Ist step
Calculate gross profit ratio:-
As the starting point of this procedure you have to determine the value of gross profit because loss of profit is easy to calculate by multiplying Gross profit with short of sale in that disturbance period .
Net profit xxxx
Add Insured standing
Charges of lass year (+) xxxx
-------------------------------------
Gross profit of last year xxxx
-------------------------------------
Gross profit ratio = Gross profit / sale of last year X 100

2nd step
Calculate shortage in sale due to loss of fire
Actual sale of same period of loss xxxx
Add any increase in thrend of sale (+)xxxx
------------------------------------------------
xxxxx
Less actual sale in dislocation period (-) xxxx
--------------------------------------------------
Shortage of sale in dislocation period xxxx
==================================

3rd step
Calculation of loss of profit
Loss of profit = shortage of sale X G.P. rate / 100
 

4th Step
Total amount for claim of loss of profit
Loss of gross profit xxxx
Add increase in cost of working (+) xxxx
---------------------------------------------
xxxx
Less saving in standing charges
---------------------------------------------
Amount of claim xxxx
===================================

5th step
Apply average clause
Amount of claim = policy value / amount to be insured
Important notes

1. We will use of only less rate from following rates for calculating correct amount of loss pf profit
Net profit + Insured standing charges of last accounting year
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- X 100
Sale for the last accounting year

Or
Policy value / sale of 12 months immediately proceeding fire as adjusted for trend .

2. The Indemnity period or dislocation period which will small, that period will be fixed for calculation of claim .
3. We will calculate loss of sale on the base of future trend of sale.
4. Insured standing charges means all expenses which are mentioned in the policy of loss of profit. Businessman wants

to get these expenses in the case of mishappening. We can make its list
•Traveling expenses
•Rent, rate and taxes not related with profit of business
•Advertising
•Interest on debentures and loans.
•Auditors fee
•Salaries of permanent staff
•Directors’ fee
•Salaries of permanent staff
•Wages of skilled workers
•All not described expenses must not more than 5% of described standing expenses .
Explanation with example
From the following information, find out the claim under loss of profit policy :-
2007 – net profit for the year $ 10000
2007- Standing charges insured $ 6000
$ sales for 2007 $ 160000
Date of fire 1.1.2008
Period of dislocation 3 months
Sales from 1.12007 to 31.3.2007 $ 54000
Sales from 1.1.2008 to 31.3.2008 $ 19400
Indemnity period 6 months
Policy subject to average clause $ 11000
Trend in annual sales 10% increase
Solution
Ist step
Calculation of gross profit ratio
Net profit + Insured standing charges of last yea
----------------------------------------------------------- X 100
Sale of last year
10000+6000
---------------------- X 100
160000
= 10%

2nd step
Shortage of sale
Last year’s sale from 1.12007 to 31.3.2007 $ 54000
Add 10% for upward trend $ 5400
---------------------------------------------------
$ 59400
Less actual sale during dislocation period $ 19400
-----------------------------------------------------
Shortage of sale $ 40000
=====================================

3rd step
Calculate of loss of profit
Loss of sale X G.P. rate /100
40000 X 10/100 = 4000

4th step
Total amount for claim of loss of profit
Loss of gross profit 4000
Add increase in cost of working (+) nil
Less saving in standing charges nil
Amount of claim $4000

5th step
Average clause
Since the policy is subject to average clause, it is necessary to find out whether expected profit of the current year
was fully insured or not .
Expected sale for current year
Last year sale $ 160000
Add :Increase in current year 10% = $ 16000
--------------------------------------------
Total sale of current year = 176000
---------------------------------------------
Profit rate 10%
The profit of current year = 176000 X 10% = $17600
But we take the policy of $ 11000
This is a case of under insurance. It means insurance company pays $ 110 of every $ 176 loss
Claim = insurance policy / insurable profit X profit lost
= 11000 / 17600 X 4000 = $ 2500
So , amount of claim would be $ 2500

Management Accounting Part-I

Cash Flow Statement

When we compare two or more years total cash flow may be in three type of activities (i)In operating activities from one financial year to another financial year we can get cash from selling of goods , receiving the money or any other operating activities or we can outflow of cash in B/p , creditors or any buying of goods . So different can be said as net flow of operating activities .
(ii) Investing activities
You know very well that with two years any company can buy or sell any assets buying of fixed assets is outflow and selling any asset is inflow of cash difference of both is net cash flow from investing activities .
(iii) Financial activities
Financial activities are related to buying and selling of shares and debentures .Selling of shares and debenture is inflow of cash and opposite if company buys shares of other company , this is called outflow of shares .
After calculating all net inflow and this is called flow of cash and statement making for this is called cash flow statement .
Benefit is it only for cash management who wants to make different planning . An account manager easily calculate what is the real cash flow position . Company’s overall flow of cash is favorable or not . Some time cash book shows good current cash balance but a good account manager should investigate the overall flow of cash before buying high funded assets . This decision should be taken after complete analyzing of cash flow statement . Cash flow statement shows more outflow than inflow this is unbalanced situation .So be careful .

Q: Define inflation accounting or price level accounting ? what are the main method of price level accounting ? What are its main advantages and disadvantages ?

Ans :Inflation accounting is recording ,classifying and summarizing of all transaction on current or market cost and update recording amount according to time and changes .In price level accounting ,the value of money is changed , our balance sheet ‘s figure unit also changed .

Method of price level /Inflation accounting :-

1.Current purchasing power accounting

According to current purchasing power method , we calculate current cost with following method
I:  Take current price index
II : Calculate

Current value of asset= Value of asset (Actual basis ) X Current index / previous price index

For example

Record value of Rs. 40000 machine on inflation accounting basis if 2005 index 100 and 2006 price index =200
=40000x 200/180 =80000
B/S
Machine 80000

2. current cost accounting

In the current cost accounting following point must take in mind :-

1. Value of fixed asset will be take on current cost not historical cost basis
2. Stock will be taken on market cost basis
3. Transfer of difference between historical cost and current cost of asset to revaluation reserve account
4. Calculate current operating profit

3. Replacement cost accounting method

This method is just improvement of current purchasing price method .In replacement cost accounting , we calculate current value basis of respective asset price index
Suppose book value of machinery is 300000and price index of machinery is 2005 is 100 and 2006 is 300 then book value of furniture Rs. 200000 price index of furniture 2005=200 and 2006=400
Current value of machinery =300000x 300/100
Current value of furniture =200000x400/200
1. Current value accounting method
2. In current value accounting method , we take all asset of business in balance sheet on their current value

Definition of current ratio
This ratio is a relationship of current asset and current liabilities . It states the business current position to pay the current liabilities in time as when due .There are two components of this ratio:

Current assets

1. Cash in hand
2. Cash at bank
3. Marketable securities
4. Sundry debtors
5. Bills receivable
6. Stock in trade
7. Prepaid exp.

Current liabilities

1. Sundry creditors
2. Bill payable
3. Outstanding bill
4. Bank overdraft

current ratio = current assets /current liabilities


Importance of Calculating Average Collection period and Average Payment period
Average collection period and and Average payment period is basic test of the business's good or bad activity or operation . This is the main part of financial analysis to calculate these type of ratio . Even a small business man want to time in which he gets his debt from his debtors in whole year . He also wants to know at what period he pays his creditors .


•These two ratios are the good symbol for calculating the efficiency and capacity of any type of organisation


•These two ratios are the good symbol for making good planning for increase or decrease working capital efficiently . Because working capital is more effected from sundry debtors and sundry creditors.
Lets start for calculating these two ratios


1.Average Collection Period
12 months or 365 days= __________________Debtors Turnover ratio

Because it is based on debtors turnover ratio . So we should also know debtor turnover ratio

Net Credit Sale= _______________Average Debtors amount

Average debtors amount is equal to sum of opening and closing debtors and after divide 2 , we can calculate the average debtors amount.


2. Average Payment Period
12 months or 365 days= __________________Creditors Turnover ratio
Because it is based on Creditors turnover ratio . So we should also know Creditors turnover ratio

Net credit Purchase= _______________Average Creditors amount
Average Creditors amount is equal to sum of opening and closing Creditors and after divide 2 , we can calculate the average Creditors amount.

What are Profitability Ratios
Profitability ratios are so important , because of these ratios , we can take several decision for improving our business concern . These ratios tells us the basic relationship between profit and net sale . What amount of return we have receive on the basis of our sale . Is it good or not . If this is not good then what should we do in the improve actions of company.
There following main profitability ratios which is calculated in any company type of business.


1.Gross profitability ratio = Gross profit / Net Sale X 100
2.Operating Ratio = Operating Cost / Net Sale X 100
3.Operating Profit ratio = Operating Profit / Net Sale X 100
4.Net Profit ratio = Net profit / Net Sale X 100
5.Rate on Investment = Net profit before interest and tax / Capital Employed X 100
6.Earning Per Share (EPS)
Net profit after interest , tax and pref. dividend= ____________________________________ X 100
Numbers of equity shares
7. Dividend Per Share (DPS ) Price Earning Ratio
Dividend on equity shares= ____________________________________ X 100
Numbers of equity shares
8. Price Earning Ratio = current market price of share / earning per share

Definition of working Capital and benefits of its analysis
As an accountant, you must know working the working capital and benefits of its analysis. Dear working capital means excess of current asset over current liabilities. In other word. If your current assets are more than your current liabilities. These more current assets are known as working capital. For doing your business with better way, the business must have working capital every time. If you have more current assets than your current Liabilities , it means you can buy your stock of business , you can pay your creditors . All time when your investor or any body who want to give you loan will see you working capital . If your liquid capital is non , nobody will give you any debt or goods on credit . So it is the duty of accountant of business . To make some working capital so that your business will grow with the help of loan and debt. For this I am giving some tips. Each time when you pass the voucher entry in tally or any other computer accounting software , then see what is the position of your working capital.
If you see that there is no working capital, when current assets are equal to current liabilities , or current liabilities are more than current assets this will be very serious position when working capital is in negative. At this time, you must sell some fixed assets so that you can keep your working capital position in positive. Never give goods on credit to any body who has not good dealing with you

Financial accounting, cost accounting and management accounting are interrelated because without co-ordination and co-operation with each other, we will never succeed in achieving the objectives of business. Financial accounting provides different financial statements. On these statements we calculate different cost, like cost of material, cost of labour, and cost of overheads. On the basis we calculate cost of goods sold and then we include our profit margin in it and the ascertain our product price. In management accounting, financial and cost accounting supply different useful accounting information. On these accounting data manager makes the plans of business. Organize different works. Even standard costing and budgeting is very useful toots for controlling the organization. In a business the requirement of funds has to be carefully estimated. Certain funds are required for long term purpose investment in fixed assets etc. A careful estimation of such funds depends different ratio analysis which tells us that what is rate on capital employed, if this rate is very high then we can get more fund for more production and for more production give more money. Even financial management is also part of management accounting. If system of financial accounting will complete with good way and rules and regulation, then other system of cost accounting and management accounting will gives good result.



Leverage analysis is the part of management accounting. This is the duty of finance manager to use the technique for making ideal structure of capital. Leverage analysis is the best technique of finance manager. With this technique he can make wonderful structure of capital. For doing leverage analysis he has to calculate three leverage Ist leverage – Operating Leverage
 

Operational leverage is calculate by following formula
Operational leverage =% change in Earning before interest and tax______________________% Change in Sales
Analysis of operating leverage of a firm is very useful to the financial manager. It tells the impact of changes in

sales on operating income. A firm having higher Degree of operating leverage can experience a magnified effect on

E.B.I.T. for even a small change in sales level. Higher D.O.L. can dramatically increase the operating profit. But if

there is decline in sales level, E.B.I.T. may be wiped out and a loss may be operated.
2nd leverage - Financial Leverage
 

Financial leverage can be calculate with following formula

% change in Earning per share= ____________________________% change in Earning before interest and tax

Financial leverage helps the finance manager in designing the appropriate capital structure. One of the objectives of planning an appropriate capital structure is to maximize the return on equity shareholders’ funds or maximize the earning per share.
Financial leverage is doubled edged sword. On the one hand it increase earning per share and on the other hand it increase financial risk. A high financial leverage means high fixed financial costs and high financial risk i.e. as the debt component in capital structure increases , the financial leverage increases and at the same time the financial risk also increase . So the finance manager therefore is required to trade off i.e. has to bring a balance between risk and return for determining the appropriate amount of debt in the capital structure of a firm. Thus the analysis of financial leverage is most important tool in the hands of finance managers who are engaged in financing the capital structure of business firms, keeping in view the objectives of their firm.
 

3rd leverage – Combined leverage
The combined leverage measures the effect of a % change in sales on % change in Earning per share.
Combined leverage = operating leverage X financial leverage
Or
Combined leverage= % change in E.B.I.T. % change in E.P.S.
________________ X ___________________

% change in sales % change in E.B.I.T.

The ratio of contribution to earning before tax , given by combined leverage shows the combined effect of financial and operating leverage . A high operating and high financial leverage combination is very risky. If the company is producing and selling at a high level , it will make extremely high profit for its shareholders. But even a small fall in the level of operations would result in a tremendous fall in earning per share. A company must , therefore maintain a proper balance between these two leverage.

Comparative financial statement
This is main tool of financial analysis. This type of analysis is useful when the accounting data of two periods is given. Generally two statements are prepared
i) Comparative balance sheet
ii) Comparative income statement
The figures of two periods are taken in their respective columns and increase or decrease after which percentage is taking into account previous year as base year. After showing the increase or decrease the interpretation in form of comment is also to be specified. However the various comparative statements are to be prepared as follow.
i) Comparative balance sheet:-
To analysis the financial statement as per the technique of comparative statement analysis the first one is the comparative balance sheet for preparation comparative balance sheet with following steps :
Ist step: Take the given balance sheet of two period in years
2nd step: Make the difference of each item of balance sheet in the vertical or horizontal form determining the increase or
                decrease ( in absolute figure)
3rd Step Make the % of increasing or decreasing ( Previous year as base year)
4th step Interpretation (Comments)
a) Long term financial position
b) Working capital position
c) profitability position
d) Overall financial position
ii) Comparative Income Statements
The income statement shows results of operation of business .The comparative income statement indicate the variation with different item which are to be recorded in income statement .Over a particular period of time that is one year. It shows the amount of gross profit, operating profit and net profit. However a comparative income statement is to be prepared in following form.
Interpretation or Comments can be given? On the increasing sale or cost of sale increasing or decreasing? Operating expenses and incomes affecting the amount of profit or loss? Overall profitability position

Management Accounting Part-III

The indirect method for calculating cash flow statement
Indirect method
Cash flow statement
A-cash flow from operating activity + B- Cash flow from investing activity + C- cash flow from financing activity +
opening balance of cash book = Closing balance of cash book
A- category regarding cash flow from operating activity is different from direct method , other part is as same as
direct method
According to indirect method when we calculate cash flow statement, we will care 8 points. The main aim is to calculate
cash net profit or loss for operating activity like sale and purchase of goods. Now I am explaining all 8 points deeply
1st Point
Taking the net profit as per profit and loss account. This is (+) item. This is the base for calculating cash net
profit. Other 7 points are the just games of (+) and (-)
2nd point
Now we add all non cash and non operating expenses and losses in Ist point.
I want to tell you why we will (+) it in net profit. The answer is that because when we made of profit and loss account
we had deducted these non cash and non operating expenses in our profit and loss account. Now our duty is to add them .
Now I am telling about these expenses and losses
1) Depreciation
2) Preliminary expenses written off
3) Discount on issue of shares and deb. w/o
4) Goodwill written off
5) Patent and trade marks written off
6) Interest on borrowing and deb.
7) Loss on sale of fixed assets

One more question you can ask to me
Why non operating expenses are added in net profit?
Ans. Because it is true that these expenses in cash but we deems as cash outflow from financing activity or investing
activity so there is no need to adjust in operation.
3rd Point
After adding 2nd point items , we must deduct 3rd point items. It means that all non cash or non operating income must
be deducted from net profit for calculating cash net profit. In this , we can include
1) Dividend income (For non financial co.)
2) Rental income
3) Profit on sale of fixed asset
4th point
= Ist point + 2nd point – 3rd point

5th point
Now we add decrease in current assets because it must increase the cash inflow and also add increase in current
 

liabilities

1. Decrease in stock
2. Decrease in debtors
3. Decrease in accrued income
4. Decrease in prepaid expenses
5. Increase in creditors
6. Increase in bill payables
7. Increase in outstanding expenses
8. Increase in advance income
9. Increase in provision for doubtful debts

6th point
Increase in current assets and decrease in current liabilities must be deducted

1. Increase in stock
2. Increase in debtors
3. Increase in accrued incomes
4. Increase in prepaid expenses
5. Decrease in creditors
6. Decrease in bill payables
7. Decrease in outstanding expenses
8. Decrease in advance incomes
9. Decrease in provision for d/d
    

General hint
· Increase in current assets means cash outflow so deduct
· Decrease in current liabilities is also cash outflow so deduct
· Decrease in current assets means cash inflow so add
· Increase in current liabilities is also cash inflow so add

7th point
Total cash flow from operating activity
= 4th point + 5th point – 6th point
8th point
Deduct income tax paid from 7th point. After this you can get net cash flow from operating activity. All other B and C category as same as first method.

Definition of Securitisation

Securitisation is the process of getting cash on the basis of different security notes and papers .Even some company issues shares or debenture for getting fixed assets , this is also securitisation . In simple english securitisation create the relationship of company with outer world in which company gets fund for doing work .
 

Benefit of Securitisation

1. Increase the rate of return
2. Raise of fund or finance through securitisation when other source are not supported .
3. I take one example explaining the third benefit

suppose a person want to purchase a building for giving it rent , if he purchases with his cash then all risk of fund is his own . But if he takes loan to make building then he becomes issuer of finance so from earning of building , he can pay the debt of building .

Factors to provide Loans:

1st Financial factors

a) Rate of Return

It is the duty of account manager to find the rate of return. Select all those party which want to give us high rate on our investment in the form of loan.

b) Risk Factor

Before giving credit to company, we also see our risk factor. i) personal risk- dishonesty , corruption ii) trade risk– see previous profit and loss account iii) Debt equity ratio iv) Income interest ratio

c) Security

Before giving credit or loan account manager have to see what asset of business , businessman want to give as security for getting loan .

d) Marginal of requirement

Before giving loan or credit , it is the duty of bank's account manager under govt. policies that he must see difference between security and loan Suppose Security $ 10000 – Loan $ 8000 = Marginal requirement $2000 If our providing loan is less than the value of asset which we have received in the form of security , then this is good .

2nd Non- financial factors

1. Social factors

Through social responsibility accounting, account manager is also check, whether providing of loan at low rate is benefited for social popularity or not.

2. Political factors

Account manager also check political and tax policies regarding providing of loan.

How to prepare Fund Flow statement

Before preparing of fund flow statement, you must know different accounting terms in fund flow statement. Academic need to learn the fund flow statement

1. AS – 3 units 1.

Accounting standard 3 units 1 of Institute of Chartered Accountant of India explains preparation and presentation of statement of changes in financial position or fund flow statement.

2. UGC – NET – Commerce

If you want to clear UGC –NET in commerce subject, you should also learn fund flow statement. Because it includes in paper 11 and paper 111 A syllabus in the form of fund flow analysis.

3. Graduate / Post Graduate Classes

Fund flow statement is full subject in B.Com. , B.B.A., B.C.A. and M.Com. , M.B.A., M.C.A. classes . For succeeding in these classes, you should know the whole system of fund flow statement.

4. Helpful in Practical business environment

Fund flow statement is very helpful for solving following practical problems of business. Why are current assets are decreasing, even there are high profit?
 

1. Why did Company not issue dividend, even company has obtained profit?
2. What happened with net profit, where did it go?
3. What did Company do with the fund received from selling of shares and debentures?
4. What are main sources of company to repay his debts?

So, above questions’ answer can be given after making fund flow statements.

Definition of Fund

Fund means working capital. If current assets of company is more than current liability of business, it is called working capital and working capital’s other name is Fund.
Fund = Working capital = Current assets – Current liability

Definition of Flow of Fund

Flow of fund means movement of fund. I take the example of air; we can feel its movement or flow of air. Same thing is happen with fund, due to the activity of business fund is transfer from one asset to another assets. If fixed assets are converted into current asset or fixed liability is converted into current liabilities, these are the flow of fund. But if current assets are changed with current assets or current assets are changed into current liabilities, then, there is no flow of fund because there is no change working capital. Suppose, we get the money from debtor, this is not flow of fund because, working capital is not changed. Both items of current assets and when current assets change into current assets, there will not be change in working capital.
Flow of Fund = Fixed asset changes into current asset or current asset changes into fixed assets

Or

Fixed liability changes into current liability or current liability changes into fixed liability.

Definition of fund flow statement

Fund flow statement is a statement which shows the inflow and out flow of funds between two dates of balance sheet. So, it is known as the statement of changes in financial position. We all know that balance sheet shows our financial position and inflow and outflow of fund affects it. So, in company level business, it is very necessary to prepare fund flow statement to know what the sources are and what are applications of fund between two dates of balance sheet.

Generally, it is prepare after getting two year balance sheet.

According to Prof. Anthony, “The funds flow statement describes the sources from which additional funds were derived and the use of which these funds were put.” Fund flow statements are known with different names

Statement of source and uses of funds Or summary of financial operations Movement of working capital statement Or Fund received and distributed statement Or Fund generated and expended statement.

Steps for making Fund flow statement

First Step

Making of statement of Changes of Working Capital

For making of fund flow statement. It is very necessary to make statement of changes of working capital. Because net increase in working capital is use of fund and net decrease in working capital is source of fund. So, it is duty of accountant to make statement of changes of working capital. Making of statement of changes working capital is very easy and simple.

We take two balance sheets, one is current year balance sheet and other is previous year balance sheet. Then we separate current assets and current liabilities.

If current assets are more than previous year current assets, it means increase in working capital.
If current assets are less than previous year current assets, it means decrease in working capital. Because,

relationship between current assets and working capital is positive and if any changes in current assets, working capital will change in same direction.

If current liabilities are more than previous year current liabilities, it means decrease in working capital.
If current liabilities are less than previous year current liabilities, it means increase in working capital.

Relationship between working capital and current liabilities are inverse.

2nd Step

Statement showing the fund from operation

Because is the source of fund and will show in fund flow statement’s source side. So before making fund flow statement,we must make statement showing the fund from operation.Operation means business activity and fund from operation means profit from business activity.
