FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING

Financial Accounting is the branch of accounting which deals with the recording of business transaction with the basic
purpose of preparing the financial statements.

UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Financial statements, the product of financial accounting, show the results of operation ( income statement), financial position
(balance sheet), changes in the owner’s equity, and the sources and uses of funds (cash flow statement).

Income statement (also known as statement of comprehensive income ) shows the results of operation. It details operating
revenues ( service income or any other appropriate income account for a service enterprise, sales for a trading/merchandising and
manufacturing firm) and operating expenses for trading firms), and other income and other expense ( non-operating ) like interest
income and interest expense. It shows the profitability of the firm.

The income statement of a service enterprise is a simple statement with operating expenses deducted from the main revenue
to arrive at the operating profit. Other income is added and other expenses are deducted to arrive at the net income/net profit.

The income statement of a trading/merchandising firm is a bit complicated. The computation of cost of goods sold is complex
with beginning inventory added to the net cost of purchases to arrive at the total goods available for sale. From the total goods
available for sale is deducted the ending inventory to arrive at the cost of goods sold/cost of sales, which is deducted net sales to arrive
at the gross profit. From gross profit, operating expenses are deducted to arrive at the operating profit. Other income is then added and
other expenses are deducted to arrive at net income.
For a manufacturing concern, the income statement is the most complicated. The basic components are:

a. Total manufacturing cost


b. Cost of goods manufactured
c. Cost of goods available for sale
d. Cost of goods sold

Cash flow statement, also known as statement of sources and uses of cash, details all sources or inflow of cash and expenditures or
outflows of cash to show the net increase or decrease in cash. A more complicated form of the statement lists three basic activities of
the firm:

a. Operating activities
b. Investing activities
c. Financing activities

which are considered as secondary securities.

Direct Finance-Involves a one-on-one relationship between a lender and a borrower.

Financial Intermediaries cab be divided into two groups

(a) The Depository Institutions


(b) The Non-Depository Institutions
Depository Institution-Refer to financial institutions that accept deposits from surplus or savings units. The assets of depository
institutions are the loans that they grant borrowers.

Depository institutions are classified as:

a) Commercial banks
(1) Ordinary commercial banks
(2) Expanded commercial or Universal banks

b) Thrift banks
(1) Savings and mortgage banks
(2) Private development banks
(3) Savings and loan associations
(4) Microfinance thrift banks
(5) Credit unions
(6) Rural banks

Ordinary Commercial Banks-Perform the more simple functions of accepting deposits and granting loans. Expanded commercial
banks or universal banks (also called unibanks) perform investment services. It is expanded because of its function as an investment
house and investing in stocks and bonds of non-allied businesses. In addition, they render financial services , payment processing,
securities transactions, underwriting, and financial analysis.

A Branch-Is an independent unit of the head office performing all the functions and offers the service facilities of the head office. An
extension office operates like a branch, but us under the supervision and administrative control of the nearest branch of the head office
or the head office, if the head office is the one nearest it.

Banks are government-regulated-Bank supervision deals with ensuring the soundness and safety of banks. Bank regulation consists
of the administration of laws in the form of rules and regulations that govern the conduct of banking and the structure of the banking
industry.

government and private securities. These associations provide personal finance and long-term financing for home building and
improvement.

grant small loans to small, micro and cottage businesses.

depository institutions. Loans granted are multiples (two or three times) of the member’s savings with the unions.

them with loans and other basic financial services.

Non-depository institutions include:

Life insurance companies-Provide protection over a contracted period of time or over the life of the insured in exchange of premiums

securities, any loss in these securities is spread to many owners rather than one investment bearing the loss.The nature of financial
intermediation has changed from the old, more regulated and specialized institutions to the newer, more diversified institutions we
now have.

INTEREST

Interest Rate-Is the cost of borrowing or lending money. As such, it can be said that it is the cost of credit. It is expressed as the ratio
of interest to amount borrowed or lent.

Transaction Demand-Refers to the demand for money to pay for current expenditures like water and electricity bills, tuition fees,
house rent, among others.

accident, natural calamities, among others.

Rate of Return (ROR)-Is a yield term that considers not only interest earned but also gain or loss arising from change in value
(capital gain or loss) to determine the total net yield to investors. Any capital gain is added to the interest earned and any capital loss is
deducted from the interest earned to determine the ROR.While simple interest is paid at the maturity date, discount is interest deducted
in advance, meaning interest is paid on the date the loan is taken. Banks discount loans they grant such that borrowers receive
proceeds from the loan lesser than the face value of the loan.Compounding pays interest on interest, meaning for every compounding
period, the principal accumulates interest earned.

Effective Annual Rate (EAR)-Is the rate which would produce the same future value if annual compounding is used. Therefore, it is
higher than the nominal interest rate.

Effective Interest Rate (EIR)-Is measured based on the kind of credit and is term. This includes interest on trade credit or open
account granted by businesses and bank loans in the form of lines of credit.

Yield to Maturity (YM)-Is the interest rate which equates the present value of all cash flows from the debt instrument to the current
value. For a simple loan, YM is equal to the simple interest rate. For bond the yield is computed through interpolation to arrive at the
exact yield or for more simple computation, the current yield is used by simply dividing the yearly coupon payment by the price of the
security.

Real risk-free rate of interest (k*)-Is the interest rate that is adjusted for inflation.
The Loanable Funds Theory-Expounded on the classical theory by theorizing that borrowers create the demand for loanable funds
and the lenders, on the other side, seek to provide the loanable funds needed by borrowers. This interplay of supply and demand for
loanable funds determines the interest rate.

The Liquidity preference theory-Maintains that the interest rate is determined in the money markets by the money demand and the
money supply.

The Rational Expectations Theory-Is based on the premise that financial markets are highly efficient in digesting new information is
translated by investor into borrowing or investment decisions.

Interest rates are determined by several factors including:

a) Savings
b) Investment demand
c) Money supply
d) Money demand
e) Inflation expectations
f) Monetary policy
g) Business cycle
