  • Basic Bookkeeping and Reimbursable Services
    Basic Bookkeeping and Reimbursable Services Introduction to bookkeeping Bookkeeping is involved in the recording of a company’s transactions. The preferred method of bookkeeping is the double-entry method. This means that every transaction will be documented at least two ways. For example, if a company borrows $10,000 from its bank… 1. An increase of $10,000 must be recorded in the company’s Cash account, and 2. An increase of $10,000 must be recorded in the company’s Loans Payable account. The accounts containing the transactions are located in the company’s general ledger. A simple list of the general ledger accounts is known as the chart of accounts. Prior to inexpensive computers and software, small businesses manually recorded its transactions in journals. Next, the amounts in the journals were posted to the accounts in the general ledger. Today, software has greatly reduced the journalizing and posting. For example, when today’s software is used to prepare a sales invoice, it will automatically record the two or more effects into the general ledger accounts. The software is also able to report an enormous amount of additional information ranging from the detail for each customer to the company’s financial statements. Accounts General ledger accounts are used for sorting and storing the company’s transactions. Examples of accounts include Cash, Account Receivable, Accounts Payable, Loans Payable, Advertising Expense, Reimbursable Services Received, Interest Expense, and perhaps hundreds or thousands more. The amounts in the company’s general ledger accounts will be used to prepare a company’s financial statements such as its balance sheet and income statement.

  • Chapter 3 CT 1. A. If Inventory Is Purchased with Cash, Then There Is
    Chapter 3 CT 1. a. If inventory is purchased with cash, then there is no change in the current ratio. If inventory is purchased on credit, then there is a decrease in the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0. b. Reducing accounts payable with cash increases the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0. c. Reducing short-term debt with cash increases the current ratio if it was initially greater than 1.0. d. As long-term debt approaches maturity, the principal repayment and the remaining interest expense become current liabilities. Thus, if debt is paid off with cash, the current ratio increases if it was initially greater than 1.0. If the debt has not yet become a current liability, then paying it off will reduce the current ratio since current liabilities are not affected. e. Reduction of accounts receivables and an increase in cash leaves the current ratio unchanged. f. Inventory sold at cost reduces inventory and raises cash, so the current ratio is unchanged. g. Inventory sold for a profit raises cash in excess of the inventory recorded at cost, so the current ratio increases. 3. A current ratio of 0.50 means that the firm has twice as much in current liabilities as it does in current assets; the firm potentially has poor liquidity. If pressed by its short-term creditors and suppliers for immediate payment, the firm might have a difficult time meeting its obligations. A current ratio of 1.50 means the firm has 50% more current assets than it does current liabilities.

    GLOSSARY OF FINANCIAL TERMS Balance sheet The balance sheet sets out the assets and liabilities of a business and its net worth. Bottom line The closing cash balance, which then becomes the next month’s opening balance and provides the basis for comparison with the firm’s monthly cash-book total. Current assets Assets used or turned over within 12 months: cash in hand or at the bank, debtors and work in progress. Current liabilities Liabilities that need to be met regularly or within the current reporting year. They may include trade creditors, disbursements, bank overdrafts, lease or hire purchase payments and accrued expenses such as annual leave and insurance. Disbursements Client disbursements can be both an income and an expenditure component. Over a period these will be the same, apart from a small net outflow due to growth of the practice and increasing charges. Investing activities This category refers primarily to the cash flow of sales and purchases of assets relating to the business. An example of an inflow of revenue from an investing activity is the sale of an office, property or equipment. An outflow would be the purchase of such assets. Fees or income Cost basis when fees paid for legal services. Accruals when invoice raised for legal service. Financing activities This category relates to such things as the borrowing and repaying of loans, and returning investments to investors. Financial performance statement Also known as a profit and loss statement; shows all income and expense accounts over time while indicating profitability over the same period.

  • Chapter 7 Earnings and Cash Flow Analysis End of Chapter Questions and Problems
    CHAPTER 7 Earnings and Cash Flow Analysis Cash flow is a company’s lifeblood, and for a healthy company the primary source of cash flow is earnings. Little wonder that security analysts are obsessed with both. Their goal is to predict future earnings and cash flow. An analyst who predicts well has a head start in knowing which stocks will go up and which stocks will go down. In the previous chapter, we examined some important concepts of stock analysis and valuation. Here, we probe deeper into the topic of common stock valuation through an analysis of earnings and cash flow. In particular, we focus on earnings and cash flow forecasting. This chapter, will acquaint you with financial accounting concepts necessary to understand basic financial statements and perform earnings and cash flow analysis using these financial statements. You may not become an expert analyst yet - this requires experience. But you will have a grasp of the fundamentals, which is a good start. Unfortunately, most investors have difficulty reading financial statements and instead rely on various secondary sources of financial information. Of course, this is good for those involved with publishing secondary financial information. Bear in mind, however, that no one is paid well just for reading such sources of financial information. By reading this chapter, you take an important step toward becoming financial-statement literate, and an extra course in financial accounting is also helpful. But ultimately you learn to read financial statements by reading financial statements! Like a good game of golf or tennis, financial-statement reading skills require practice.
