Balance Sheet                                                                            Net Income
Financial Statements                                                                  Net Loss
Income Statement                                                                     Retained Earnings Statement
Matching Concept Principle                                                      Statement of Cash Flows

This objective introduces the four financial statements of a corporation (in order of preparation— Income Statement, Retained Earnings Statement, Balance Sheet,  and the Statement of Cash Flows) and explains how they interrelate. Financial statements are reports prepared by accountants that summarize the financial affairs of a business.

This objective also introduces the concept of “matching,” which is one of the most important concepts in accounting. The matching concept principle states that the revenue for one time period is matched up or compared with the related expenses for the same time period. If revenues and expenses are not properly matched, then the amount reported for net income is incorrect, making every statement thereafter incorrect.

All statements have a three line heading. The first line of the heading is always the company name. The second line of the heading is always the name of the statement being prepared. The third line is the date portion of the heading and varies among the financial statements. The Income Statement and the Retained Earnings Statement summarize transactions for a period of time, while the Balance Sheet shows a “snapshot” of the business as of a particular date.

The income statement lists revenues earned and expenses incurred for a specific period of time resulting in net income or net loss. The excess of the revenue over the expenses is called net income or net profit. If the expenses exceed the revenue, the excess is a net loss. A sample income statement for XYZ Corporation would look like the following:

XYZ Corporation
Income Statement
For the Month Ended November 30, 20xx

Revenue:
Fees Earned                                                         $  x,xxx.xx

Expenses:
Wages Expense                                     $  xxx.xx
Rent Expense                                           xxx.xx
Supplies Expense                                       xxx.xx
Utilities Expense                                       xxx.xx
Miscellaneous Expense                                 xx.xx 
Total expenses                                                 x,xxx.xx
Net income (loss)                                                      $ x,xxx.xx

The net income (loss) from the Income Statement and any dividends paid to the owners of the business is used in calculating the ending retained earnings balance on the Retained Earnings Statement. A sample Retained Earnings Statement for XYZ Corporation would look like the following:

XYZ Corporation
Retained Earnings Statement
For the Month Ended November 30, 20xx
Retained earnings, November 1, 20xx                               $      .xx
Net income for November                             $  x,xxx.xx
Less dividends                                             xxx.xx        xxxx.xx
Retained earnings, November 30,20xx                               $  xxxx.xx

The Balance Sheet lists the ending balances for assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity, which is made up of the capital stock (owner’s investments) plus the ending retained earnings balance from the Retained Earnings Statement. As a result, the balance sheet “balances.” A sample Balance Sheet for XYZ Corporation would look like the following:

XYZ Corporation
Balance Sheet
November 30, 20xx
Assets                                Liabilities
Cash                   $ x,xxx.xx             Accounts Payable             $ x,xxx.xx
Supplies                 x,xxx.xx             Stockholder’s Equity
Land                     x,xxx.xx            Capital Stock       $ x,xxx.xx
Retained Earnings   x,xxx.xx
Total Stockholder’s
Equity                           x,xxx.xx
                                                Total Liabilities and                     
Total Assets           $ x,xxx.xx             Stockholder’s Equity           $ x,xxx.xx

 

The various tools of financial Analysis are follow as;

Financial statement analysis is an exceptionally powerful tool for a variety of users of financial statements, each having different objectives in learning about the financial circumstances of the entity.

 

There are a number of various tools of financial statement analysis. They are:

 

  • Anyone who has lent funds to a company is interested in its ability to pay back the debt, and so will focus on various cash flow measures.
  • Both current and prospective investors examine financial statements to learn about a company’s ability to continue issuing dividends, or to generate cash flow, or to continue growing at its historical rate (depending upon their investment philisophies).
  • The company controller prepares an ongoing analysis of the company’s financial results, particularly in relation to a number of operational metrics that are not seen by outside entities (such as the cost per delivery, cost per distribution channel, profit by product, and so forth).
  • Regulatory authorities. If a company is publicly held, its financial statements are examined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (if the company files in the United States) to see if its statements conform to the various accounting standards and the rules of the SEC.

 

Methods of Financial Statement Analysis

 

There are two key methods for analyzing financial statements. The first method is the use of horizontal and vertical analysis. Horizontal analysis is the comparison of financial information over a series of reporting periods, while vertical analysis is the proportional analysis of a financial statement, where each line item on a financial statement is listed as a percentage of another item. Typically, this means that every line item on an income statement is stated as a percentage of gross sales, while every line item on a balance sheet is stated as a percentage of total assets. Thus, horizontal analysis is the review of the results of multiple time periods, whiile vertical analysis is the review of the proportion of accounts to each other within a single period. The following links will direct you to more information about horizontal and vertical analyis:

 

  • Horizontal analysis
  • Vertical analysis

 

The second method for analyzing financial statements is the use of many kinds of ratios. You use ratios to calculate the relative size of one number in relation to another. After you calculate a ratio, you can then compare it to the same ratio calculated for a prior period, or that is based on an industry average, to see if the company is performing in accordance with expectations. In a typical financial statement analysis, most ratios will be within expectations, while a small number will flag potential problems that will attract the attention of the reviewer.

 

There are several general categories of ratios, each designed to examine a different aspect of a company’s performance. The general groups of ratios are:

 

  1. Liquidity ratios. This is the most fundamentally important set of ratios, because they measure the ability of a company to remain in business. Click the following links for a thorough review of each ratio.
  • Cash coverage ratio. Shows the amount of cash available to pay interest.
  • Current ratio. Measures the amount of liquidity available to pay for current liabilities.
  • Quick ratio. The same as the current ratio, but does not include inventory.
  • Liquidity index. Measures the amount of time required to convert assets into cash.

 

  1. Activity ratios. These ratios are a strong indicator of the quality of management, since they reveal how well management is utilizing company resources. Click the following links for a thorough review of each ratio.
  • Accounts payable turnover ratio. Measures the speed with which a company pays its suppliers.
  • Accounts receivable turnover ratio. Measures a company’s ability to collect accounts receivable.
  • Fixed asset turnover ratio. Measures a company’s ability to generate sales from a certain base of fixed assets.
  • Inventory turnover ratio. Measures the amount of inventory needed to support a given level of sales.
  • Sales to working capital ratio. Shows the amount of working capital required to support a given amount of sales.
  • Working capital turnover ratio. Measures a company’s ability to generate sales from a certain base of working capital.

 

 

  1. Leverage ratios. These ratios reveal the extent to which a company is relying upon debt to fund its operations, and its ability to pay back the debt. Click the following links for a thorough review of each ratio.
  • Debt to equity ratio. Shows the extent to which management is willing to fund operations with debt, rather than equity.
  • Debt service coverage ratio. Reveals the ability of a company to pay its debt obligations.
  • Fixed charge coverage. Shows the ability of a company to pay for its fixed costs.

 

  1. Profitability ratios. These ratios measure how well a company performs in generating a profit. Click the following links for a thorough review of each ratio.
  • Breakeven point. Reveals the sales level at which a company breaks even.
  • Contribution margin ratio. Shows the profits left after variable costs are subtracted from sales.
  • Gross profit ratio. Shows revenues minus the cost of goods sold, as a proportion of sales.
  • Margin of safety. Calculates the amount by which sales must drop before a company reaches its breakeven point.
  • Net profit ratio. Calculates the amount of profit after taxes and all expenses have been deducted from net sales.
  • Return on equity. Shows company profit as a percentage of equity.
  • Return on net assets. Shows company profits as a percentage of fixed assets and working capital.
  • Return on operating assets. Shows company profit as percentage of assets utilized

 

  1. What is a Fund Flow Statement? Discuss the uses and preparation of Fund Flow Statements.

Answer:-

Fund Flow Statement

It is a statement summarizing the significant financial changes in items of financial position which  have occurred between the two different balance sheet dates. This statement is prepared on the basis of  “Working Capital” concept of funds. Fund flow Statement helps to measure the different sources of funds  and application of funds from transactions involved during the course of business.

The fund flow statement also termed as Statement of Sources and Application of Fund, Where Got  and Where Gone Out Statement, Inflow of Fund or Outflow of Fund Statement

Importance or Uses of Fund Flow Statement

Fund Flow Statements are prepared for financial analysis in order to meet the needs of people serving  the following purposes:

(1) It highlights the different sources and applications or uses of funds between the two accounting  period.

(2) It brings into light about financial strength and weakness of a concern.

(3) It acts as a effective tool to measure the causes of changes in working capital.

(4) It helps the management to take corrective actions while deviations between two balance sheet  figure.

(5) It is an instrument used by the investors for effective decisions at the time of their investment  proposals.

(8) It helps to evaluate the financial consequences of business transactions involved in operational  finance and investment.

(9) It gives the detailed explanation about movement of funds from different sources or uses of  funds during a particular accounting period.

 

Preparation of Fund Flow Statements

The three statements prepared while making a fund flow analysis are:

  1. A) Statement of changes in Working Capital.
  2. B) Calculation of Funds from Operations
  3. C) Calculation of the Sources and Applications of funds.

 

  1. A) Statement of changes in Working Capital.

This statement is to explain the net change in Working Capital, as arrived in the Funds Flow Statement. All Current Assets and Current Liabilities are individually listed. Against each account, the figure pertaining to that account at the beginning and at the end of the accounting period is shown. The net change in its position is also shown. The changes taking place with respect to each account should add up to equal the net change in working capital.

Note1: Increase in current assets and decrease in current liabilities – The acquisition of current assets and repayment of current liabilities will result in funds outflow. The funds may be applied to finance an increase in stock, debtors etc. or to reduce the amount owed to trade creditors, bank overdraft, bills payable.

Note2: Decrease in Current Assets and Increase in Current Liabilities: The reduction in current assets e.g. stocks or debtor’s balanced will result in release of funds to be applied elsewhere.

 

  1. B) Calculation of Funds from Operations

During the course of trading activity, a company generates revenue mainly in the form of sale proceeds and pays for costs. The difference between these two items will be the amount of funds generated by the trading operations.

  1. C) Calculation of the Sources and Applications of funds.

1) Sources:

It includes:

Funds raised from Shares, Debentures and Long-term Loans:

The Long-term funds are injected into the business during the year by issue of any shares and debentures and by raising long-term loans. In any premium is collected that is also form part of funds raised from the above said sources of finance.

Sale off fixed assets and Long-term investments:

Any amount generated from sale of fixed assets or long-term investments is a source of funds. While preparation of funds flow statement the gross sale proceeds from sale is taken as source of funds.

2) Application:

The use of funds in an organization takes place in the following forms:

Repayment of Preference Capital or Debentures or Long-term Debit:

This represents the application of organisation’s funds released from business through redemption of preference shares or debentures, repayment of long-term loans previously made by the organization. Any reduction in equity capital is also taken as application of funds.

Purchase of fixed assets or long-term investments:

The funds used to purchase long-term assets are usually the most significant application of funds during the year. This group includes capital expenditure on land, buildings, plant and machinery, furniture and fittings, vehicles and long-term investments outside the business.

Distribution of dividends and payment of taxes:

The dividends to the shareholders and tax paid during the year is the application of funds for the firm.

Loss from operations:

Losses made in the trading activities use up the funds. If costs exceed revenue, a cash outflow will be experienced.

Example:

Following are the summarized Balance Sheet of “X” Ltd. As on 31st December 2004 and 2005. You are required to prepare funds flow statement for the year ended 31st December, 2005

  1. What is financial Forecasting? Explain.

Answer:-  Financial Forecasting describes the process by which firms think about and prepare for the future. The forecasting process provides the means for a firm to express its goals and priorities and to ensure that they are internally consistent. It also assists the firm in identifying the asset requirements and needs for external financing.

 

For example, the principal driver of the forecasting process is generally the sales forecast. Since most Balance Sheet and Income Statement accounts are related to sales, the forecasting process can help the firm assess the increase in Current and Fixed Assets which will be needed to support the forecasted sales level. Similarly, the external financing which will be needed to pay for the forecasted increase in assets can be determined.

Financial Forecasting Methods

Financial forecasting methods are used to predict the success of a company in the coming year. This method of forecasting is not only used for planning and budgeting, but may be a tool for outsiders to use when determining whether to invest in a company. Financial forecasting can also be used when determining predictions for currency markets of other countries. These methods can be used independently or together to give a more accurate prediction.

 

The Bayesian Method

The Bayesian Method is one of the many methods of financial forecasting used in corporate America. However, this method is far more dependent on belief than history, as other methods are based. It involves using a complex formula based upon the outcome of historical events to create forecast of future events. The formula also includes factors of probability in regards to stock indexes and interest rates decreasing or increasing. By taking into account both interest rates and stock indexes, one can make better financial forecast than just basing a theory off simplified guessing.

 

Reference Class Forecasting

Reference Class Forecasting is another method used in financial forecasting methods. This method involves forecasting or predicting the outcome of a planned action based on similar scenarios in other times or places. Reference class forecasting is used to counter predictions that are made based off simple human judgment. Forecasting methods using judgement have been known to be inaccurate because most judgment underestimates work and overestimates rewards of that work. Using similar scenarios that have already occurred provides a more factual basis of forecasting.

 

Proforma Financial Statements

Proforma Financial Statements is a forecasting method that uses sales figures and costs from the previous two to three years. This method of forecasting is typically used in situations such as mergers and acquisitions. It provides a good basis of the financial statements of a company while eliminating certain costs that are not reoccurring or not typical for the organization or company. The Proforma Financial Statements are also used in cases where a new company is forming and statements are needed to request capital from investors.

 

Budget Expense Method

The budget expense method bases its amounts for sales and company costs on the expected growth in the future. This method is not as dependable because it does require those within the company to make judgements without the basis of history. Typically, when the Proforma Financial Statements method is used, the budget expense method is used in conjunction with Proforma. These two forecasting methods were not created or meant to be used independent of each other. Using both methods together is called the Combination Method.

 

Financial forecasting can be difficult for businesses when based upon judgements or subjective opinions. However, using different forecasting methods with each other can yield results that are more substantial and accurate. Financial forecasting can assist companies and investors when first starting out or attempting to predict the success of fiscal performance in the coming year. In any case, financial forecasting aids those who are making decisions of investment.

 

 

  1. Examine the various tools of Financial Analysis.

Answer:-  Financial analysis tools are one of the most efficient ways that can be used for ensuring good profit from your investments. These financial analysis tools are highly helpful in evaluating the market and investing in a way so as to maximize the profit from the investments made. These financial analysis tools are useful for deciphering both internal and external information related to a specific business organization.

 

Financial Analysis is defined as being the process of identifying financial strength and weakness of a business by establishing relationship between the elements of balance sheet and income statement. The information pertaining to the financial statements is of great importance through which interpretation and analysis is made. It is through the process of financial analysis that the key performance indicators, such as, liquidity solvency, profitability as well as the efficiency of operations of a business entity may be ascertained, while short term and long term prospects of a business may be evaluated. Thus, identifying the weakness, the intent is to arrive at recommendations as well as forecasts for the future of a business entity.

 

Financial analysis focuses on the financial statements, as they are a disclosure of a financial performance of a business entity. “A Financial Statement is an organized collection of data according to logical and consistent accounting procedures. Its purpose is to convey an understanding of some financial aspects of a business firm. It may show assets position at a moment of time as in the case of balance sheet, or may reveal a series of activities over a given period of times, as in the case of an income statement.”

 

Since there is recurring need to evaluate the past performance, present financial position, the position of liquidity and to assist in forecasting the future prospects of the organization, various financial statements are to be examined in order that the forecast on the earnings may be made and the progress of the company be ascertained.

The financial statements are: Income statement, balance sheet, statement of earnings, statement of changes in financial position and the cash flow statement. The income statement, having been termed as profit and loss account is the most useful financial statement to enlighten what has happened to the business between the specified time intervals while showing, revenues, expenses gains and losses. Balance sheet is a statement which shows the financial position of a business at certain point of time. The distinction between income statement and the balance sheet is that the former is for a period and the latter indicates the financial position on a particular date. However, on the basis of financial statements, the objective of financial analysis is to draw information to facilitate decision making, to evaluate the strength and the weakness of a business, to determine the earning capacity, to provide insights on liquidity, solvency and profitability and to decide the future prospects of a business entity.

 

There are various tools of Financial Analysis, They are briefly mentioned herein:

 

External analysis: The external analysis is done on the basis of published financial statements by those who do not have access to the accounting information, such as, stock holders, banks, creditors, and the general public.

 

Internal Analysis: This type of analysis is done by finance and accounting department. The objective of such analysis is to provide the information to the top management, while assisting in the decision making process.

 

Short term Analysis: It is concerned with the working capital analysis. It involves the analysis of both current assets and current liabilities, so that the cash position (liquidity) may be determined.

 

Horizontal Analysis: The comparative financial statements are an example of horizontal analysis, as it involves analysis of financial statements for a number of years. Horizontal analysis is also regarded as Dynamic Analysis.

 

Vertical Analysis: it is performed when financial ratios are to be calculated for one year only. It is also called as static analysis.

 

An assortment of techniques is employed in analyzing financial statements. They are: Comparative Financial Statements, statement of changes in working capital, common size balance sheets and income statements, trend analysis and ratio analysis.

 

Comparative Financial Statements: It is an important method of analysis which is used to make comparison between two financial statements. Being a technique of horizontal analysis and applicable to both financial statements, income statement and balance sheet, it provides meaningful information when compared to the similar data of prior periods. The comparative statement of income statements enables to review the operational performance and to draw conclusions, whereas the balance sheets, presenting a change in the financial position during the period, show the effects of operations on the assets and liabilities. Thus, the absolute change from one period to another may be determined.

 

Statement of Changes in Working Capital: The objective of this analysis is to extract the information relating to working capital. The amount of net working capital is determined by deducting the total of current liabilities from the total of current assets. The statement of changes in working capital provides the information in relation to working capital between two financial periods.

 

Common Size Statements: The figures of financial statements are converted to percentages. It is performed by taking the total balance sheet as 100. The balance sheet items are expressed as the ratio of each asset to total assets and the ratio of each liability to total liabilities. Thus, it shows the relation of each component to the whole – Hence, the name common size.

 

Trend Analysis: It is an important tool of horizontal analysis. Under this analysis, ratios of different items of the financial statements for various periods are calculated and the comparison is made accordingly. The analysis over the prior years indicates the trend or direction. Trend analysis is a useful tool to know whether the financial health of a business entity is improving in the course of time or it is deteriorating.

 

Ratio Analysis: The most popular way to analyze the financial statements is computing ratios. It is an important and widely used tool of analysis of financial statements. While developing a meaningful relationship between the individual items or group of items of balance sheets and income statements, it highlights the key performance indicators, such as, liquidity, solvency and profitability of a business entity. The tool of ratio analysis performs in a way that it makes the process of comprehension of financial statements simpler, at the same time, it reveals a lot about the changes in the financial condition of a business entity.

 

It must be noted that Financial analysis is a continuous process being applicable to every business to evaluate its past performance and current financial position. It is useful in various situations to provide managers the information that is needed for critical decisions. The process of financial analysis provides the information about the ability of a business entity to earn income while sustaining both short term and long term growth.

Question 1: Developing leaders is an important activity, and that organizations must carry it out in a thoughtful and systematic manner. Explain.

 

Answer:

 

Developing leaders is an important activity, and that organizations must carry it out in a thoughtful and systematic manner. The reality, however, is that while there is much talk and much surface activity, very few organizations do a good job of it. They talk a good game, but when the chips are down, they don’t follow through very well.

Some companies don’t do a good job developing leaders because they don’t

try very hard. Some have good intentions, but they just don’t commit the time and

resources necessary to do it. Others, such as General Motors, the former Digital

Equipment and the former Westinghouse, like to talk about leadership but actively

discourage it by punishing people who dare to think independently. And still others,

such as AT&T, have committed huge amounts of time and resources to elaborate

well-enforced human resources development processes, but they have been largely

taught by consultants and academicians who aren’t leaders themselves. So what they

have tended to produce are very articulate managers who are masters of the latest

“business- speak” and the fads and fashions of management gurus. But they end up

acting like civil servants and bureaucrats, not leaders.
