Define the use of a Balance Sheet and its preparation in detail.

A financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at a specific
point in time. These three balance sheet segments give investors an idea as to what the company owns
and owes, as well as the amount invested by the shareholders.
The balance sheet must follow the following formula:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholders' Equity It's called a balance sheet because the two sides balance out.
This makes sense: a company has to pay for all the things it has (assets) by either borrowing money
(liabilities) or getting it from shareholders (shareholders' equity).
Each of the three segments of the balance sheet will have many accounts within it that document the
value of each. Accounts such as cash, inventory and property are on the asset side of the balance sheet,
while on the liability side there are accounts such as accounts payable or long-term debt. The exact
accounts on a balance sheet will differ by company and by industry, as there is no one set template that
accurately accommodates for the differences between different types of businesses.

Difference between Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable with suitable examples?
Accounts Payable
An accounting entry that represents an entity's obligation to pay off a short-term debt to its creditors. The
accounts payable entry is found on a balance sheet under the heading current liabilities.
Accounts payable are often referred to as "payables".
Another common usage of AP refers to a business department or division that is responsible for making
payments owed by the company to suppliers and other creditors.
Accounts payable are debts that must be paid off within a given period of time in order to avoid default.
For example, at the corporate level, AP refers to short-term debt payments to suppliers and banks.
Payables are not limited to corporations. At the household level, people are also subject to bill payment
for goods or services provided to them by creditors. For example, the phone company, the gas company
and the cable company are types of creditors. Each one of these creditors provides a service first and then
bills the customer after the fact. The payable is essentially a short-term IOU from a customer to the
creditor.
Each demands payment for goods or services rendered and must be paid accordingly. If people or
companies don't pay their bills, they are considered to be in default.

Accounts Receivable

Money owed by customers (individuals or corporations) to another entity in exchange for goods or services
that have been delivered or used, but not yet paid for. Receivables usually come in the form of operating
lines of credit and are usually due within a relatively short time period, ranging from a few days to a year.
On a public company's balance sheet, accounts receivable is often recorded as an asset because this
represents a legal obligation for the customer to remit cash for its short-term debts
If a company has receivables, this means it has made a sale but has yet to collect the money from the
purchaser. Most companies operate by allowing some portion of their sales to be on credit. These types of
sales are usually made to frequent or special customers who are invoiced periodically, and allow them to
avoid the hassle of physically making payments as each transaction occurs. In other words, this is when a
customer gives a company an IOU for goods or services already received or rendered.
Accounts receivable are not limited to businesses - individuals have them as well. People get receivables
from their employers in the form of a monthly or bi-weekly paycheck. They are legally owed this money for
services (work) already provided.
When a company owes debts to its suppliers or other parties, these are known as accounts payable.
Explain Derivatives?

A security whose price is dependent upon or derived from one or more underlying assets. The derivative
itself is merely a contract between two or more parties. Its value is determined by fluctuations in the
underlying asset. The most common underlying assets include stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies,
interest rates and market indexes. Most derivatives are characterized by high leverage.
Futures contracts, forward contracts, options and swaps are the most common types of derivatives.
Derivatives are contracts and can be used as an underlying asset. There are even derivatives based on
weather data, such as the amount of rain or the number of sunny days in a particular region.
Derivatives are generally used as an instrument to hedge risk, but can also be used for speculative
purposes. For example, a European investor purchasing shares of an American company off of an American
exchange (using U.S. dollars to do so) would be exposed to exchange-rate risk while holding that stock. To
hedge this risk, the investor could purchase currency futures to lock in a specified exchange rate for the
future stock sale and currency conversion back into Euros.
What is Hedging?
Making an investment to reduce the risk of adverse price movements in an asset. Normally, a hedge consists
of taking an offsetting position in a related security, such as a futures contract.
An example of a hedge would be if you owned a stock, then sold a futures contract stating that you will sell
your stock at a set price, therefore avoiding market fluctuations.
Investors use this strategy when they are unsure of what the market will do. A perfect hedge reduces your
risk to nothing (except for the cost of the hedge).
What is the difference between hedging and speculation?
Hedging involves taking an offsetting position in a derivative in order to balance any gains and losses to the
underlying asset. Hedging attempts to eliminate the volatility associated with the price of an asset by
taking offsetting positions contrary to what the investor currently has. The main purpose of speculation, on
the other hand, is to profit from betting on the direction in which an asset will be moving.
Hedgers reduce their risk by taking an opposite position in the market to what they are trying to hedge.
The ideal situation in hedging would be to cause one effect to cancel out another. For example, assume
that a company specializes in producing jewelry and it has a major contract due in six months, for which
gold is one of the company's main inputs. The company is worried about the volatility of the gold market

and believes that gold prices may increase substantially in the near future. In order to protect itself from
this uncertainty, the company could buy a six-month futures contract in gold. This way, if gold experiences
a 10% price increase, the futures contract will lock in a price that will offset this gain. As you can see,
although hedgers are protected from any losses, they are also restricted from any gains. Depending on a
company's policies and the type of business it runs, it may choose to hedge against certain business
operations to reduce fluctuations in its profit and protect itself from any downside risk.
Speculators make bets or guesses on where they believe the market is headed. For example, if a
speculator believes that a stock is overpriced, he or she may short sell the stock and wait for the price of
the stock to decline, at which point he or she will buy back the stock and receive a profit. Speculators are
vulnerable to both the downside and upside of the market; therefore, speculation can be extremely risky.
Overall, hedgers are seen as risk averse and speculators are typically seen as risk lovers. Hedgers try to
reduce the risks associated with uncertainty, while speculators bet against the movements of the market to
try to profit from fluctuations in the price of securities.

What is LIFO & FIFO method?

Last In, First Out - LIFO
An asset-management and valuation method that assumes that assets produced or acquired last are the
ones that are used sold or disposed of first.
LIFO assumes that an entity sells, uses or disposes of its newest inventory first. If an asset is sold for less
than it is acquired for, then the difference is considered a capital loss. If an asset is sold for more than it is
acquired for, the difference is considered a capital gain. Using the LIFO method to evaluate and manage
inventory can be tax advantageous, but it may also increase tax liability.
First in, First out - FIFO
An asset-management and valuation method in which the assets produced or acquired first are sold, used
or disposed of first. FIFO may be used by a individual or a corporation.
For taxation purposes, FIFO assumes that the assets that are remaining in inventory are matched to the
assets that are most recently purchased or produced. Because of this assumption, there is a number of tax
minimization strategies associated with using the FIFO asset-management and valuation method.
BANK RECONCILATION STATEMENT
Bank reconciliation is the process of comparing and matching figures from the accounting records against
those shown on a bank statement. The result is that any transactions in the accounting records not found
on the bank statement are said to be outstanding. Taking the balance on the bank statement adding the
total of outstanding receipts less the total of the outstanding payments this new value should (match)
reconcile to the balance of the accounting records.
Bank reconciliation allows companies or individuals to compare their account records to the bank's records
of their account balance in order to uncover any possible discrepancies. Discrepancies could include:
cheques recorded as a lesser amount than what was presented to the bank; money received but not
lodged; or payments taken from the bank account without the business's knowledge. A bank reconciliation
done regularly can reduce the number of errors in an accounts system and make it easier to find missing
purchases and sales invoices.
No we are ready to explore bank reconciliation sample. Below you can find cash book and bank statement
of company ABC for January.

Cash Book

On the cash book you see opening cash balance at the beginning of January. On the left side you have cash
inflows, i.e. cash received by the company in January, on the left side you can see cash payments made by
ABC in January. Final cash book closing balance is $2348.
Bank Statement

On the bank statement you can see details of each transaction. In the Outflow column you can see
payments from ABC bank account cleared by the bank, each such payment if supported by cheque has a
reference number. In the column Inflow you can see payments received into the bank account of ABC based
on the cheques received. Some payments could be received directly to the bank account.

Adjust Cash Book By Informational Differences

So our first task to solve this bank reconciliation sample is to compare bank statement and cash book and
identify items on the bank statement which are not in the cash book. In the picture below you can see
those items, i.e. circled in red: payment made to British way directly from bank account and payment
received from BC Way directly to the bank account. These items are included into the adjusted cash book,
which is presented below.

So how we adjust cash book? We take non-adjusted cash book balance at the end of month, add payments
received directly to the bank account (from BC Way amounting to $1000) and deduct payments made
directly from bank account (to British way amounting to $100) and get adjusted cash book balance
amounting to $3338.

Identify Timing Differences

Next what we do is to find items on the cash book which are not on the bank statement. These will be
timing differences, i.e. items paid or received by not yet cleared by the bank and they will be included
into the bank reconciliation sample. Picture below shows such items on the cash book circled in red.

On January 31 $1566 was received from Koala, but not yet cleared by the bank and included into the bank
statement. On January 28 and 31 accordingly ABC company paid to Logypol and Dizzy amounting
accordingly to $234 and $540, which were also not included into the bank statement. These items will be
included into the bank reconciliation.

Bank Reconciliation Sample

Below based on the above data you can see bank reconciliation sample, which reconciles balance in the
adjusted cash book with the bank statement and explains differences.
To make such reconciliation we start from adjusted cash book balance of $3338. Add to this amount
cheques not yet presented to the bank, i.e. payments to Logypol and Dizzy amounting accordingly to $234
and $540. Intermediate amount is $4112.
Afterwards we deduct from the intermediate amount payments accepted by the bank after the end of
January, i.e. payment from Koala amounting to $1566. By making these calculations we get the final
amount of $2546 which is the same as per bank statement at the end of January.

So finally in this bank reconciliation sample we have adjusted cash book and reconciles adjusted cash book
balance with the bank statement explaining differences which are due to different timing of payments
recorded on the cash book and bank statement.

Define Capital Market with relevant concept

The market for long-term funds where securities such as common stock, preferred stock, and bonds are
traded. Both the primary market for new issues and the secondary market for existing securities are part of
the capital market. Any market in which securities are traded. Capital markets include the stock and bond
markets. Companies and governments use capital markets to raise funds for their operations; for example,
a company may issue an IPO while a government may issue a bond in order to conduct new or expand
ongoing activities. Investors purchase securities in the capital markets in order to extract a return and earn
profit on the securities. Capital markets include primary markets, such as IPOs that are placed with
investors through underwriters, and secondary markets, in which all subsequent trading takes place.
Government agencies in different countries regulate local capital markets, though some, especially
exchanges, play some role in regulating themselves.

What are Mutual funds

A mutual fund is nothing more than a collection of stocks and/or bonds. You can think of a mutual fund as a
company that brings together a group of people and invests their money in stocks, bonds, and other
securities. Each investor owns shares, which represent a portion of the holdings of the fund.

You can make money from a mutual fund in three ways:

1) Income is earned from dividends on stocks and interest on bonds. A fund pays out nearly all of
the income it receives over the year to fund owners in the form of a distribution.

2) If the fund sells securities that have increased in price, the fund has a capital gain. Most funds also pass
on these gains to investors in a distribution.

3) If fund holdings increase in price but are not sold by the fund manager, the fund's shares increase in
price. You can then sell your mutual fund shares for a profit.
Funds will also usually give you a choice either to receive a check for distributions or to reinvest the
earnings and get more shares.

Advantages of Mutual Funds

Professional Management - The primary advantage of funds is the professional management of your money.
Investors purchase funds because they do not have the time or the expertise to manage their own
portfolios. A mutual fund is a relatively inexpensive way for a small investor to get a full-time manager to
make and monitor investments.
Diversification - By owning shares in a mutual fund instead of owning individual stocks or bonds, your risk
is spread out. The idea behind diversification is to invest in a large number of assets so that a loss in any
particular investment is minimized by gains in others. In other words, the more stocks and bonds you own,
the less any one of them can hurt you (think about Enron). Large mutual funds typically own hundreds of
different stocks in many different industries. It wouldn't be possible for an investor to build this kind of a
portfolio with a small amount of money.
Economies of Scale - Because a mutual fund buys and sells large amounts of securities at a time, its
transaction costs are lower than what an individual would pay for securities transactions.
Liquidity - Just like an individual stock, a mutual fund allows you to request that your shares be converted
into cash at any time.
Simplicity - Buying a mutual fund is easy! Pretty well any bank has its own line of mutual funds, and the
minimum investment is small. Most companies also have automatic purchase plans whereby as little as $100
can be invested on a monthly basis.

Difference between Shares and Debentures

When you buy shares, you become one of the owners of the company. Your fortunes rise and fall with that
of the company. If the stocks of the company soar in value, your investment pays off high dividends, but if
the shares decrease in value, the investments are low paying. The higher the risk you take, the higher the
rewards you get.
A debenture is an unsecured loan you offer to a company. The company does not give any collateral for the
debenture, but pays a higher rate of interest to its creditors. In case of bankruptcy or financial difficulties,
the debenture holders are paid later than bondholders. Debentures are different from stocks and bonds,
although all three are types of investment. Below are descriptions of the different types of investment
options for small investors and entrepreneurs.
Debentures are more secure than shares, in the sense that you are guaranteed payments with high interest
rates. The company pays you interest on the money you lend it until the maturity period, after which,
whatever you invested in the company is paid back to you. The interest is the profit you make from
debentures. While shares are for those who like to take risks for the sake of high returns, debentures are
for people who want a safe and secure income
Redemption of Shares: The process whereby a company can redeem shares through repayment of the
nominal value to the shareholder.
Redemption of Debentures: Debenture is a debt instrument to raise funds. It has a maturity period
associated with it. At the end of the maturity, the company (borrower) should return the interest and
principal amount. Debenture Redemption Reserve is an amount kept as reserve for paying the debenture
holder at the end of the maturity period.

What is Depreciation?
A noncash expense that reduces the value of an assetas a result of wear and tear, age, or obsolescence.
Most assets lose their value over time (in other words, they depreciate), and must be replaced once the
end of theiruseful life is reached. There are several accounting methods that are used in order to write
off an asset's depreciation cost over the period of its useful life. Because it is a non-cash expense,
depreciation lowers the company's reported earnings while increasing free cash flow.

Basing on the nature of the asset the depreciation will be calculated. There are different methods of
depreciations. They are:
1) Straight line method,
2) Diminishing value method,
3) Sinking fund method,
4) Annuity method,
5) Depletion method. etc.

There are two types of depreciation the straight line method and the written down value method. The
rates of depreciation under the two methods vary as the useful life of the asset remains the same
irrespective of the method of depreciation used. Under straight line method, a fixed percentage is applied
on the original cost of the asset, thereby ensuring that the depreciation per annum over the useful life is
constant. Under written down value method, a fixed percentage is applied on the written down value
(original cost less depreciation charged till the end of the previous year) of the asset. This results in higher
depreciation in the earlier years and lesser depreciation in the later years.
Normally the depreciation rate under written down value is higher than the rate under straight line
method. This ensures creation of depreciation provision over the useful life of the asset.
