2. Non-profit organization finance – includes private undertakings such as charity, religion, and some private educational institutions.
3. Business finance – refers to the provision of money for commercial use. It is concerned with the effective use of funds. It is also defined as the procurement

4. Focus to stakeholders, and ETC.
Financial management – concerned with the management of funds. It is the efficient and effective allocation, acquisition, and utilization of funds.
The primary objective of financial management is to maximize the current value of ownership in a business firm – “maximize owner’s wealth”.
Financial Manager – is the one in charge in the finance unit. The highest finance manager position is the comptroller. He is responsible for the allocation of the

2. Effective cash management
3. Effective working capital management
4. Effective inventory management
5. Effective investment decisions
6. Proper asset selection
7. Proper risk management – It is significant to note that an increase in return is coupled by a corresponding increase in risk. It cannot be expected that
whatever financial decision is made will immediately favor the firm. The finance manager’s obligation is to ascertain that such risk present is tolerable.
Risk is common and ubiquitous. It could be credit, financial, political, interest and social. The firm must recognize the risk and include this in whatever
financial decision is will make. The aphorism “the higher the return, the higher the risk” must always be kept in mind.
Financial institutions – are institutions through which suppliers channel money to users of funds.
1. Depository – commercial banks, savings associations, savings banks, credit unions

Module Guide:
TOPIC CONTENT
Accounting is the art of recording, classifying, and summarizing transactions and events, which are, in part at least, of a financial character and interpreting the
results thereof.
It is a service activity. Its function is to provide quantitative information, primarily financial in nature, about economic entities, that is intended to be useful in
making economic decisions.
It is the process of identifying, measuring and communicating economic information to permit informed judgment and decision by users of the information.
The accounting cycle represents the steps or accounting procedures used to record transactions and prepare financial statements.
Steps in the Accounting Cycle:
1. Identifying and analyzing business documents or transactions – The accountant gathers information from source documents and determines the effect
of the transactions on the accounts. Examples of source documents are: sales invoices, official receipts, purchase orders, delivery receipts, bank deposit
slips, bank statements, checks, Statement of Account and the like.
4. Unadjusted trial balance – the balances of the general ledger accounts are proved as to be equality of debits and credits. The unadjusted trial balance
serves as basis for adjusting entries.
5. Adjusting entries – the accounts are updated as of the reporting date on an accrual basis by recording accruals, expiration of deferrals, estimations, and
other events often not signaled by new source documents.
6. Adjusted trial balance (and/or worksheet) – the equality of debits and credits are rechecked after adjustments are made. The adjusted trial balance
serves as basis for the preparation of the financial statements.
7. Financial statements – these are the means by which the information processed is communicated to users.
8. Closing entries – this involves journalizing and posting closing entries and ruling the ledger. Temporary accounts (or nominal accounts) are closed and
the resulting profit or loss is transferred to an equity account.
9. Post-closing trial balance – the equality of debits and credits are again rechecked after the closing process.
10. Reversing entries – are usually made at the beginning of the next accounting period and are made to simplify the recording of certain transactions in the
next accounting period.
Financial Statements – are the end products or main output of financial accounting process. These are the means by which the information accumulated and
processed in financial accounting is periodically communicated to the users.
It shows the results of operations, financial condition, changes in owner’s equity, and sources and uses of cash.
The objective of financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a
wide range of users in making economic decisions.
2. Liabilities – present obligation of an entity arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources
embodying economic benefits.
a. The liability is the present obligation of a particular entity.
b. The liability arises from past transactions or event.
c. The settlement of the liability requires an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits.
Current Liabilities – PAS 1, paragraph 66, provides that an entity shall classify a liability as current when:
The entity expects to settle the liability within the entity’s normal operating cycle.
The entity holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading.
The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period.
The entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Noncurrent Liabilities – is a residual definition.
3. Equity – is the residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all its liabilities. Also known as “net assets”.
4. Income / Revenue – increase in economic benefit during the accounting period in the form of inflow or increase in asset or decrease in liability that results in
increase in equity, other than contribution from equity participants. It is inflow of future economic benefit that increases equity, other than contribution by
owners. (sales, service revenue, other income and gains on disposal of assets)
5. Expenses – decrease in economic benefit during the accounting period in the form of outflow or decrease in asset and increase in liability that results in decrease
in equity, other than distribution to equity participants. It is outflow of future economic benefit that decreases equity, other than distribution or dividend paid to
owners.
Financial Statement Analysis involves careful selection of data from financial statements for the primary purpose of forecasting the financial health of the
company. This is accomplished by examining trends in key financial data, comparing financial data across companies, and analyzing key financial ratios.
Solvency- - the ability of the company to meet its long-term obligations as they become due.
Financial structure – It is the framework of various types of financing employed by a firm to acquire and support resources necessary for its operations.
Commonly, it comprises of stockholders' (shareholders') investments (equity capital), long-term loans (loan capital), short-term loans (such as overdraft), and
short-term liabilities (such as trade credit) as reflected on the right-hand side of the firm's balance sheet.
Capital structure – in comparison to financial structure, does not include short-term liabilities.
Flexibility – the capacity for adaptation; the availability of cash to meet unexpected cash requirements and investment opportunities.
- Horizontal analysis of financial statements – is the study of percentages changes in comparative statements. A good place to begin in financial statement
analysis is to put statements in comparative form. Significant changes in financial data are easier to see when financial statement amount for two or more
years are placed side by side in adjacent columns. Year-to-year comparisons for the same company are useful especially if reported changes are expressed in
percentages.
1. Compute the peso amount of change from the base (earlier) period to the later period, and
2. Divided the peso amount of change by the base-period amount. This is not dove however, if the base year figure is negative or zero.
- Vertical analysis of financial statements – “common size financial statements”; translates peso amounts to percentage, which indicate the relative size of an
item in proportion to the whole. Common-size balance sheet shows assets, liabilities and owners’ equity as a percentage of total assets, while common-size
income statement expresses revenue and expenses as a percentage of sales revenue.
1. For balance sheet, each item therein is converted to percent by dividing it by total assets.
2. In the income statement, each item is restated as a percentage of net sales or net operating revenue by dividing the former by the latter.
- Financial ratio – is a comparison in fraction, proportion, decimal or percentage form of two significant figures taken from financial statements. It expresses
the direct relationship between two or more quantities in the balance sheet and income statement of a business firm.
3 Research on the different rations widely accepted in the analysis of financial statements.
The cash flow statement analyzes changes in cash and cash equivalents during a period. Along with the ration analysis, cash flow statement is a valuable tool to finance
managers. It is used to evaluate the cash inflows (sources) and cash outflows (uses) of a firm during a specified period of time.

Horizontal Analysis
1. Short-term Solvency
a. Current assets increased by 9% while current liabilities decreased by 27% by 2017. The current financial position of the Gerald Co. improved as reflected
by the increase in total current assets accompanied by the decrease in current liabilities. The improvement in the current financial position is also indicated
by the fact that the current assets were 2.05 times the current liabilities as of December 31, 2016 and 3.05 times at the most recent date.
b. The data reveal that cash, receivables and inventory showed upward tendency. The increase in receivables and inventory is favorable because net sales
increased at a faster rate. The favorable tendency indicates that more effective credit, collection and merchandising policies, could have been established
and made effective. The relatively smaller amount of trade receivables reflects more rapid turnover of customer accounts and possibly a large increase in
cash sales.
c. The decline in marketable securities and other current assets also indicates lesser investment in not-so-productive assets. The change of this item on either
directions reflect an increasing efficiency or working capital management.
a. A comparison in total liabilities and equity reveals that the former declined and the latter increased. As a result of these variations, the creditors’ margin of
safety increased significantly.
b. The expansion in property, plant and equipment which substantially increased was financed by shareholders’ capital through the issuance of share capital
at a premium, long-term liabilities and working capital derived from operations.
c. A greater reliance on equity funds rather than on creditor funds increased the margin of safety of the creditors and therefore strengthened the financial
position of the company.
3. Profitability
a. It will be observed that both sales and cost of sales showed upward pattern with sales increasing at a faster rate. These data reflect a favorable situation
from the point of view of managerial ability to control costs relative to change on sales volume. This more desirable percentage may have been the result
of one or more factors such as favorable price-level changes, more effective markup policies or greater efficiency in purchasing.
b. An unfavourable tendency is reflected by the fact that percentage change for selling, general and administrative expenses increased at a faster rate than the
net sales. The company could have earned more profit if better and more effective control over operating expenses were instituted.

Vertical Analysis
1. The Gilbert Co’s balance sheet showed that there had been substantial changes in the proportions of current and fixed assets and current and long-term liabilities
during the period from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017. The percentages showed a declining liquidity in the company’s assets accompanied by a
consistent reduction in liabilities over the period.
2. It can be observed that cash balance and accounts receivable as a percentage of total assets had been increasing while investment in inventory in relation to total
assets had been decreasing. Considering that the volume of sales was increasing, these changes can be viewed as beneficial to the company.
3. The increase in investment in fixed assets had been financed largely from owners’ investment as indicated in the increasing percentage of equity to total assets.
4. The decreasing percentage of total liabilities to total assets further indicates lesser reliance of the company from creditors in raising additional capital. This, of
course, is favorable as far as the long-term financial position of the company is concerned because a wider margin of safety is provided among the creditors.
Evaluation of Profitability
1. Favorable changes could be observed in the gross margin percentage in relation to net sale. The increase in percentage over the year could be due to improvement
in the company’s mark-up policy or better procurement policy.
2. Selling expenses in relation to sales however, show increasing percentages from 2016 to 2017, while administrative expenses had more or less remained constant.
Better control over the selling expenses should be instituted to further improve the profitability of the company.
3. Decrease in percentage of other expenses to net sales is traceable to the decreasing amount of note payable and long-term debts.

Short-term liquidity analysis is of particular significance to trade and short-term creditors, management and other parties concerned with the ability of a
firm to meet near-term demands for cash.
Julia’s current and quick ratios decreased indicating a deterioration of short-term liquidity. However, the cash flow liquidity ratio improved in 2017 after a
negative cash generation in 2016.
The average collection period for accounts receivable and the inventory turnover improved in 2017 which could indicate improvement in the quality of
accounts receivable and liquidity of inventory. The increase in inventory level has been accomplished by reducing holdings of cash and cash equivalents.
This represents a trade-off of highly liquid assets for potentially less liquid assets. The efficient management of inventories is critical for the firm’s
ongoing liquidity.
Presently, there appears to be no major problems with the firm’s short-term liquidity position.
2. Long-term Solvency
The debt ratios for Julia B. shows a steady increase in the use of borrowed funds. Total debt has increased relative to total assets, long-term debt has
increased as a proportion of the firm’s permanent financing and external or debt financing has risen relative to internal financing.
Why has debt increased? The statement of cash flows shows that Julia B. has substantially increased its investment in capital or fixed assets and their
investments have been financed largely by borrowing especially in 2016 when the firm had a rather sluggish operating performance and no internal cash
generation.
Given the increased level of borrowing, times interest earned and fixed charge coverage improved slightly in 2017. These ratios should however be
monitored closely in the future particularly if Julia B. continues to expand.
As noted earlier, Julia B. has increased its investment in fixed asset as a result of store expansion. The asset turnover increased in 2017, the progress
traceable to improved management of inventories and receivable. There has been substantial sales growth which suggests future performance potential.
The gross profit margin was stable, a positive sign in the light of new store openings featuring discounted and “sale” items to attract customers. The firm
also managed to improve its operating profit margin in 2017 principally due to the firm’s ability to control operating costs. The net profit margin also
improved despite increased interest and tax expenses and a reduction in interest income from marketable security investment.
Return on assets and return on equity increased considerably in 2017. These ratios measure the overall success of the firm in generating profits from its
investments and management policies.
Conclusion: It appears that Julia B. Enterprises, Inc. is well positioned for future growth. Close monitoring the firm’s management of inventories is important
considering the size of the company’s capital tied up in it. The expansion in their operation may necessitate a sustained effort to advertise more, to
attract customers to both new and old areas. Julia B. has financed much of its expansion with debt, and so far, its shareholders have benefited from
the use of debt through financial leverage. The company should however be cautious of the increased risk associated with debt financing.

2. Answer the exercises presented after the topic content below. (EXERCISES)
TOPIC CONTENT
WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT - involves managing the firm’s current assets and liabilities to achieve a balance between profitability and risk that contributes positively to
the firm’s value.
*CONSERVATIVE* *AGGRESSIVE*
Current Liabilities Current Assets

CASH MANAGEMENTinvolves the maintenance of the appropriate level of cash to meet the firm’s cash requirements and to maximize income on idle funds.
MS MANAGEMENT involves the process of planning and controlling investment in marketable securities to meet the firm’s cash requirement and to maximize income on idle
funds.
OBJECTIVE: to minimize the amount of cash on hand while retaining sufficient liquidity to satisfy business requirements (e.g., take advantage of cash discounts, maintain credit
rating, meet unexpected needs).
REASONS FOR HOLDING CASH: “Why would a firm hold cash when, being idle, it is a non-earning asset?”
1. TRANSACTION motive (Liquidity motive) Cash is held to facilitate normal transactions of the business.
2. PRECAUTIONARY motive (Contingent motive) Cash is held beyond the normal operating requirement level to provide for buffer against contingencies, such as slow-down in
accounts receivable collection, possibilities of strikes, etc.
3. SPECULATIVE motive. Cash is held to avail of business incentives (e.g., discounts) and investment opportunities.
4. CONTRACTUAL motive – Compensating Balance Requirements. A company is required by a bank to maintain a certain compensating balance in its demand deposit account
as a condition of a loan extended to it.
CASH CONVERSION CYCLE - is the average length of time a peso is tied up in current assets. It runs from the date the company makes payment of raw materials to the date
company receives cash inflow thru collection of accounts receivable. It is also known as the cash flow cycle.
*Alternatively, sales per day may be also used to compute conversion period. The intention is to use an amount in proportion to unit sales.
The firm’s goal should be to shorten its cash conversion cycle without hurting operations. The longer the cash conversion cycle, the greater the need for external financing; hence, the
more cost of financing.
Types of Float:
POSITIVE (Disbursement) Float: Bank balance > Book Balance
EXAMPLE: Outstanding checks issued by the firm that have not cleared yet.
NEGATIVE (Collection) Float: Book balance > Bank Balance
EXAMPLES:
1. MAIL Float – Amount of customers’ payments that have been mailed by customers but not yet recovered by the seller company.
2. PROCESSING Float – Amount of customers’ payments that have been received by the seller but not yet deposited.
3. CLEARING Float – Amount of customers’ checks that have been deposited but have not cleared yet.
Good cash management suggests that positive float should be maximized (negative float, minimized).
MARKTETABLE SECURITIES - short-term money market instruments that can easily be converted to cash
CERTIFICATES of DEPOSITS (CD) – savings deposits at financial institutions (e.g., time deposit)
MONEY MARKET FUNDS – shares in a fund that purchases higher-yielding bank CDs, commercial paper, and other large-denomination, higher-yielding securities.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES
Treasury Bills – debt instruments representing obligations of the National Government issued by the Central Bank and usually sold at a discount through competitive
bidding.
CB Bills or Certificates of Indebtedness (CBCIs) – represent indebtedness by the Central Bank.
COMMERCIAL PAPERS – unsecured short-term promissory notes issued by corporations with very high credit standing

Module Guide:
2. Answer the exercises presented after the topic content below. (EXERCISES)
TOPIC CONTENT
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE MANAGEMENT
AR MANAGEMENT – involves the determination of the amount and terms of credit to extend to customers and monitoring receivable from credit customers.
OBJECTIVE: To collect AR as quickly as possible without losing sales from high-pressure collection techniques. Accomplishing this goal encompasses three topics: (1) credit
selection and standards, (2) credit terms, and (3) credit collection and monitoring program
1. CREDIT STANDARD
Who (customers) will be granted credit? How much is the credit limit?
Factors to consider in establishing credit standards – the Five C’s of Credit:
Character – customers’ willingness to pay
Capacity – customers’ ability to generate cash flows
Capital – customers’ financial sources (i.e., net worth)
Conditions – current economic or business conditions
Collateral – customers’ assets pledged to secure debt.
2. CREDIT TERMS
This defines the credit period and discount offered for customer’s prompt payment. The following costs associated with the credit terms must be considered: cash discounts,
credit analysis and collections costs, bad debts losses and financing costs.
3. COLLECTION PROGRAM
Shortening the average collection period may preclude too much investment in receivable (low opportunity costs) and too much loss due to delinquency and defaults. The same could
also result to loss of customers if harshly implemented.
EXERCISES:
REQUIRED:
What is the net advantage (disadvantage) of implementing the proposed
discount policy?
The Rachel Castor Co., which has enough idle capacity, is considering
relaxing its credit standards (more liberal extension of credit). If it does, the
following is expected to result: sales will increase by 25%; collection
period will increase to 4 months; bad debts losses are anticipated to be 5%
on the incremental sales; and collection costs will increase by P40,000.
REQUIRED:
Should the proposed relaxation in credit standards be implemented?
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Time Duration and Allotment: Week 5; 6 hours
Abstract:
This focuses on the concepts, tools and techniques, factors affecting inventories, relevant cost in inventory management, and strategies to minimize inventory costs.
Lesson Objectives:
As a result of completing this learning module, students will be able to:
Explain the importance of having adequate inventories, as well as determine the benefits of having carefully planned inventories;
Compute for EOQ, lead time, lead time usage, reorder point and safety stock; and
Analyze inventory maintenance to minimize carrying and ordering costs.
Module Guide:
2. Answer the exercises presented after the topic content below. (EXERCISES)
TOPIC CONTENT
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT – refers to the process of formulation and administration of plans and policies to efficiently and satisfactorily meet the production and merchandising
requirements and minimize costs relative to inventories.
OBJECTIVE: To maintain inventory at a level that best balances the estimates of actual savings, the cost of carrying additional inventory, and the efficiency of inventory control.
MIN-MAX METHOD
Minimum inventory level serves as the reorder point. It includes the normal quantity to be used from the time an order is placed up to the time the materials are received (i.e., lead
time). The safety stock quantity to minimize the occurrence of stockout is also included. The maximum inventory level is the sum of stockout quantity and the order size.
TWO-BIN SYSTEM
Materials are stored in bins, piles, bundles, or specific stocking area. Two bins are used; one bin contains the quantities to be used from the date the materials are received up to the
time an order is to be placed, and the other bin contains the quantities to be used during the waiting time (or lead time) and the safety stock. Once the first bin is consumed, an order
for two bins is automatically placed.
EOQ MODEL
Where: Total ordering costs = Total carrying costs
Total relevant inventory costs equal ordering costs and carrying cost.
Total relevant inventory costs are at the lowest
Ordering Costs include those spent in placing an order, waiting for an order, inspection and receiving costs, setup costs, and quantity discounts lost.
Cost per order = Total ordering costs / Number of orders
Total ordering costs = Cost per order X No. of orders
No. of orders = Annual demand / Order Size
Annual Demand represents the annual need or requirements of the business. Order size refers to the number of units or amount purchased per order batch.
Carrying Costs are those spent in holding, maintaining, or warehousing inventories such as warehousing and storage costs, handling and clerical costs, property taxes and
insurance, deterioration and shrinkage of stocks, obsolescence of stocks, interest, and return on investment (e.g., lost return on investment ties up in inventory).
Carrying cost per unit = Total carrying costs / Average inventory
Total carrying costs = Carrying cost per unit X Average inventory
also:
Carrying cost per unit = Unit cost X Carrying costs ratio
Carrying cost ratio = Carrying cost per unit / Unit cost
Average inventory = Order size / 2
EOQ ( units ) = 2 ( Annual Demand )( Cost per order ) EOQ ( pesos ) = 2 ( AD∈Pesos )( CPO )
√ Carrying Cost per Unit √ CC Ratio
The reorder point (ROP) refers to the inventory level where a purchase order should be placed. Reorder point is the sum of lead time quantity and safety stock quantity.
Reorder point = Lead time quantity + Safety stock quantity = LTQ + SSQ
where:
Lead time quantity = normal usage x normal lead time = NU X NLT
Safety stock = safety stock (in usage) + safety stock (in time)
Safety stock (in usage) = (Maximum usage – Normal usage) X Normal lead time
Safety stock (in time) = (Maximum lead time – Normal lead time) X Normal usage
and;
Maximum inventory level = Safety stock quantity + Order size = SSQ + OS
Lead time refers to the waiting time from the date the order is placed until the date the delivery is received. Lead time quantity represents the normal usage during the lead time
period. Normal usage means the average usage of inventory during a given specific period of time (e.g., days, weeks).
Safety stock is established to served as an allowance in case of variations in normal usage and normal lead time. Hence, there is a safety stock for variation in usage and a safety
stock for variations in time.
