A. INTRODUCTION

This ITT Lab Practice Manual aims to bring greater Hands-On Practical Training (HOT) orientation to
the ITT Course being conducted at the ITT Centers of the Institute. This manual contains case
studies and examples compiled by the ITT Department of Board of Studies. ITT Centers are
advised to make use of these HOT examples as a part of the training to be provided to the
Students and also arrange to contribute similar case studies/ examples by each faculty
member every month, for incorporation in the next version. The ITT Faculty Members are also
requested to provide views and suggestions to be included in revised HOT, based on their
experience in use of this manual, in their monthly submission of such practical examples.

B. MS-WORD-2010

2010 Word processors like MS-Word 2010 in MS-Office enable us to present our letters and
reports in a presentable form. While, we as accountants and auditors are primarily concerned
with the financial/ accounting analysis and reporting, it is often essential for us to also provide
reports and documents which are presentable, where MS-Word processor is very useful. For
example, this practice guide giving practical hands-on training exercises has been developed
using this software. Some of the typical useful facilities of word processors are as follows:

• Producing professional-looking documents;


• Comprehensive set of tools for creating and formatting documents;
• Rich reviewing, commenting, and comparison capabilities to help the users to
quickly gather and manage feedback from colleagues, and also create reports etc.
• Advanced data integration ensuring that documents stay connected to important sources of
business information. For example, we can integrate financial data in MS-Excel 2010 files
into a report, which is updated every time you open the word file for latest updated data.
This compilation will help students in getting a hands-on experience on the software which
will enable them in making good-quality professional documents.

―Communication cannot be effective unless, the receiver listens with due attention or participation.

Participative listening is an essential condition of effective comunication. One cannot be an
effective speaker unless one is a good listener. It must, first of all, be made clear that listening is a
deliberate effort. It is not the same as hearing. When we hear, we do not have to make any effort.
But for listening, we have to train our ears and ask ourselves why we want to listen to somebody.
While listening we must discriminate, evaluate, appreciate and react.‖

be the primary or a supplemental means of learning. Essentially by bridging this gap, online
learning increases access to learning. Many in this category are those who want to
24
learn while working. They may be unable to attend on-campus classes. With online
learning, workers can keep their jobs and at the same time, develop their knowledge and
skills. It could also be for the development of new job skills or training for a new job.
Online learning makes education available to many who are outside the formal or
traditional education system. It therefore provides opportunities for individuals and
corporate learners by increasing access to education and training.‖

Case Studies
CS1: Inventory Valuation using Weighted Average method

Calculate the weighted average price and also the value of closing inventory by filling in
the table (given in file ―CS1.docx‖) with the required formula.

Date Receipts Issues Balance


Mar. Qty Rate Rs. Amount Qty Rate Amount Qty Rate Amount
Units Rs. Units Rs. Units Rs. Rs.
2 900 5.00
5 600
10 400 5.50
11 300 5.50
15 400
19 200 6.00
26 800 4.75
31 600

Solution:

28
Under weighted average price method, cost of goods available for sale during the period is
aggregated and then divided by number of units available for sale during the period to
calculate weighted average price per unit. Thus

Total cost of goods available for sale during the period


Weighted average price per unit =
Total number of units available for sale during the period

Date Receipts Issues Balance

CS2: Confirmation of Balances using Mail Merge

(Excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_merge)

Mail merge is a software function describing the production of multiple documents from a single
template form and a structured data source. This helps to create personalized letters and pre-
addressed envelopes or mailing labels for mass mailings from a word processing document which
contains fixed text, which will be the same in each output document, and variables, which act as
placeholders that are replaced by text from the data source. The data source is typically a
spreadsheet or a database which has a field or column matching each variable in the template.
When the mail merge is run, the word processing system creates an output document for each row
in the database, using the fixed text exactly as it appears in the template, but substituting the data
variables in the template with the values from the matching columns.

Assignment:

Send letters to four companies asking for confirmation of their account balances using Step by
Step Mail Merge Wizard. Use file ―DataSrc.xlsx‖ as the data source and file ―CS2.docx‖ as the
document containing the letter. The final output is given in file ―Final CS2.pdf‖.

The format of the letter should be:

To,
The Manager
<Address of the company>
E-mail: <E-mail id>
Dear <First Name of the Manager>,
Dated: April 8, 2010

• Next we must copy the numerical values from the input section to the actual balance sheet.
However, because we want the numbers in our balance sheet to change when we change
the numbers in the input section, we cannot copy them the same way we copied text.
Step 4: Copying Numerical Values

1. Plus-Point Method

To use this method, simply type a plus sign (+) in the new cell, then point to the cell where
the number currently is and click the left mouse button. You will see the current cell address
appear in the new cell. When you press enter, the numerical value will appear in the new
cell. Notice that if you move back onto the new cell, the original cell address is still there.

43
In the left column below, the destination cell addresses are listed. These are the cells
where the specified task will be performed. In the right column below, the task is listed.
For each row, this is the task we must perform on the destination cell. For tasks we have
not yet discussed, instructions on performing the task will follow the task description.
For example: In the first row, F7 is listed as the destination cell and the task is to
Copy C6. This means that you must copy C6 to F7. Using the Plus-Point Method,
you would go to cell F7, then type a plus sign and point to cell C6. Using the Type-In
Method, you would go to cell F7, then type a plus sign and type ‘C6’.

Exercise 2
Round Function and Format Option

The Round Function rounds a number to a specified number of digits.

Syntax: ROUND(number, num_digits) where number is the number to be rounded and


num_digits specifies the number of digits to which the Number is to be rounded

The rounding options with respect to the num_digits parameter are

Greater than 0, then number is rounded to the specified number of decimal places.

Equal to 0, then number is rounded to the nearest integer.

Less than 0 or a negative value then number is rounded to the left of the decimal.

ROUNDUP(number, num_digits) here a real number is rounded up depending on the second


argument num_digits.

If num_digits > 0, then number is rounded up to the specified number of decimal

places. If num_digits = 0, then number is rounded up to the nearest integer.

ROUNDDOWN(number,num_digits) here a real number is rounded down depending on the second

46
argument num_digits.

If num_digits > 0, then number is rounded down to the specified number of decimal places.

If num_digits = 0, then number is rounded down to the nearest integer.

Using the Format Cells option:

The Number tab of the Format cells dialog box has the options Number, Currency, and
Accounting categories which allow decimal places configuration for the selected number of
cells. We can specify up to 30 decimal places.

Exercise 5
MIN Function

Returns the smallest number in a set of values.

Syntax: MIN (number1, number2,….)

• Number1, number2, are 1 to 255 numbers for which you want to find the minimum value.
• Number1, Number2 can be numbers or names, arrays, or cell references that contain numbers.

• If the arguments are to include logical values and text representations of numbers in
a reference we can use the MINA function.
• Similar rules hold for the functions MAX, and MAXA.

Fig.5.1: Output

Exercise 6
Date and Time Function

Returns the sequential serial number that represents a particular date. If the cell format
was General before the function was entered, the result is formatted as a date.

• Year: The year argument can be one to four digits. The format of the argument is set
according to the date system configuration in the default operating system.
• Month: is a positive integer representing the month of the year from 1 to 12 (January to
December).
• Day: is a positive integer representing the day of the month from 1 to 31.
Syntax: DATEDIF (Date1, Date2, Output Format)

The Date1 and Date2 arguments are the two date values or cell references containing date
values. The second argument (Date2) must be greater than the first. The Output Format
argument is a character code typed inside inverted commas. The character code values are:

49
Code Description Explanation
"d" Days The number of days between Date1 and Date2.
"m" Months The number of complete months between Date1
and Date2.
"y" Years The number of complete years between Date1
and Date2.
"yd" Days excluding Years The number of days between Date1 and Date2,
as if Date1 and Date2 were in the same year.
"ym" Months excluding Years The number of months between Date1 and
Date2, as if Date1 and Date2 were in the same
year.

Exercise 7
To prepare the Equated Monthly Installment statement

Syntax: PMT(rate,nper,pv,fv,type) - Calculates the payment for a loan based on constant


payments and a constant interest rate.

Rate is the interest rate for the loan.

Nper is the total number of payments for the loan.

Pv is the present value, or the total amount that a series of future payments is worth now (Principal).

Fv is the future value, (Cash balance) to attain after the last payment is made. If fv is
omitted, it is assumed to be 0 (zero), that is, the future value of a loan is 0.

Type: is the number 0 (zero) payment due at the beginning of the loan period or number
1(one) indicates payments due at the end of the loan period.

Syntax: PPMT (rate, per, nper, pv, fv, type) - Returns the payment on the principal for a given
period for an investment based on periodic, constant payments and a constant interest rate.

Rate is the interest rate per period.

Per specifies the period and must be in the range 1 to nper.

Syntax: IPMT (rate, per, nper, pv, fv, type) - Returns the interest payment for a given period
for an investment based on periodic, constant payments and a constant interest rate.

Rate is the interest rate per period.

Per is the period for which you want to find the interest and must be in the range 1 to nper.

Per Unit.
10. Break Even Sales: Break Even Sales are computed by multiplying Break Even Point with
Selling Price.
Simulation – What-IF Analysis

Electronic Spreadsheets like MS-Excel are great tools to undertake Simulation or What-IF Analysis
as they recalculate all computations/ formulae defined in the worksheet in the event of any
change in the data values. In our endeavor to explore this facility as a part of this case
study, you are required to undertake the following simulations using the final statement:

1. The Sales Manager has given a proposal to the Management to consider reduction
of Selling Price by 10%, which is expected to increase Sales Revenue by 20%. Do
you recommend this proposal considering the effect on BEP and expected Profit?
2. The Sales Manager has given a proposal to the Management to consider increase the Selling
Price by 5%, which is not expected to have any effect on Sales Revenue. Do you
recommend this proposal considering the effect on BEP and expected Profit?
3. What would be the Break Even Point (BEP) and Break Even Sales (BES) with following Data:
Selling Price: Rs.120; Sales: 1,500 Units. Fixed Cost: Rs.25,000/-; Per Unit Direct Costs:
Material: Rs.6/-, Labour: Rs.14/- and Direct Expenses: Rs.10/- each. Case Study Assignment
1. Compute Percentage for Variable Cost, Contribution, Fixed Cost and Profit/ Loss.
2. Prepare the Structure of Marginal Cost Statement, as available in the Sample
File yourself.

86
Annexure A
Break Even Analysis

The Break-Even Point is where Total Costs equal Sales. In the Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis model,
Total Costs are linear in volume.

In economics & business, specifically cost accounting, the break-even point (BEP) is the
point at which cost or expenses and revenue are equal: there is no net loss or gain, and
one has ―broken even‖. A profit or a loss has not been made, although opportunity costs
have been paid, and capital has received the risk adjusted, expected return.

For example, if a business sells less than 200 tables each month, it will make a loss, if it
sells more, it will be a profit. With this information, the business managers will then need to
see if they expect to be able to make and sell 200 tables per month.

If they think they cannot sell that much, to ensure viability they could:

1. Try to reduce the fixed costs (by renegotiating rent for example, or keeping better
control of telephone bills or other costs)
2. Try to reduce variable costs (the price it pays for the tables by finding a new supplier)
3. Increase the selling price of their tables
Any of these would reduce the break-even point. In other words, the business would not
need to make so many tables to make sure it could pay its fixed costs.

Computation

In the linear Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis model, the break-even point (in terms of Unit Sales
(X)) can be directly computed in terms of Total Revenue (TR) and Total Costs (TC) as follows:

87
Where:

• TFC is Total Fixed Costs,


• P is Unit Sale Price, and
• V is Unit Variable Cost.

The Break-Even Point can alternatively be computed as the point where Contribution equals Fixed
Costs. The quantity (P-V) is of interest in its own right, and is called the Unit Contribution Margin C): it is
the marginal profit per unit, or alternatively the portion of each sale that contributes to Fixed Costs Thus
the break-even point can be more simply computed as the point where Total Contribution
= Total Fixed Cost:

In currency units (sales proceeds) to reach break-even, one can use the above calculation and
multiply by Price, or equivalently use the Contribution Margin Ratio (Unit Contribution Margin
over Price) to compute it as:

R=C Where R is revenue generated, C is cost incurred i.e.

Q X P(Price per unit)=FC + Q X VC(Price per unit)

Q X P - Q X VC=FC

Q (P-VC)=FC or

Q=FC/P-VC=Break Even Point

Application

The break-even point is one of the simplest yet least used analytical tools in management. It helps to

88
provide a dynamic view of the relationships between sales, costs and profits. A better
understanding of break-even, for example, is expressing break even sales as a percentage of
actual sales-can give managers a chance to understand when to expect to break even (by
linking the percent to when in the week/month this percent of sales might occur).

The break-even point is a special case of Target Income Sales, where Target Income is 0
(breaking even).

Annexure B
Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis

Cost-Volume-Profit (CVP), in managerial economics is a form of cost accounting. It is a


simplified model useful for elementary instruction and for run decisions.

Cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis expands the use of information provided by breakeven analysis.
A Critical part of CVP analysis is the point where total revenues equal total costs (both fixed and
variable costs). At this breakeven point (BEP), a company will experience no income or loss. This
BEP can be an initial examination that precedes more detailed CVP analysis

Cost-volume-profit analysis employs the same basic assumptions as in breakeven analysis. The

assumptions underlying CVP analysis are:

The behavior of both costs and revenues is linear throughout the relevant range of activity. (This

assumption precludes the concept of volume discounts on either purchased materials or


sales.) Costs can be classified accurately as either fixed or variable. Changes in activity
are the only factors that affect costs.

All units produced are sold (there is no ending finish goods inventory). When a company
sells more than one type of product, the sales mix (the ratio of each product to total sales)
will remain constant.

The components of Cost-Volume-Profit Analysis are:

• Level or volume of activity


• Unit Selling Prices
• Variable cost per unit
• Total fixed costs
• Sales mix
Assumptions

CVP assumes the following:

• Constant sales price;

89
• Constant variable cost per unit;

• Constant total fixed cost;

• Constant sales mix;

• Units sold equal units produced.

These are simplifying, largely linearizing assumptions, which are often implicitly assumed
in elementary discussions of costs and profits. In more advanced treatments and practice,
costs and revenue are nonlinear and the analysis is more complicated, but the intuition
afforded by linear CVP remains basic and useful.

One of the main methods of calculating CVP is Profit volume ratio: which is (contribution /
sales)*100

• contribution stands for Sales minus variable costs. Therefore it

gives us the profit added per unit of variable costs.

Model

Basic graph of CVP, demonstrating relation of Total Costs, Sales, and Profit and Loss

The assumptions of the CVP model yield the following linear equations for total costs and
total revenue (sales):

Total Costs = Fixed Costs + Unit Variable Cost × Number of Units

Total Revenue = Sales Price × Number of Units

These are linear because of the assumption of constant costs and prices, and there is no
distinction between Units Produced and Units Sold, as these are assumed to be equal.
Note that when such a chart is drawn, the linear CVP model is assumed, often implicitly.

90
In symbols:

TC = TFC + V × X
TR = P × X
Where

• TC = Total Costs
• TFC = Total Fixed Costs
• V = Unit Variable Cost (Variable Cost per Unit)
• X = Number of Units
• TR = S = Total Revenue = Sales
• P = (Unit) Sales Price
Profit is computed as TR-TC; it is a profit if positive, a loss if negative.

Break down

Costs and Sales can be broken down, which provide further insight into operations.

Decomposing Total Costs as Fixed Costs plus Variable Costs

One can decompose Total Costs as Fixed Costs plus Variable Costs:

TC = TFC + V × X

Decomposing Sales as Contribution plus Variable Costs.

Following a matching principle of matching a portion of sales against variable costs, one
can decompose Sales as Contribution plus Variable Costs, where contribution is ―what‘s
left after deducting variable costs‖. One can think of contribution as ―the marginal
contribution of a unit to the profit‖, or ―contribution towards offsetting fixed costs‖.

In symbols:

TR =P×X
= ((P - V) + V) × X

91
= (C + V) × X
=C×X+V×X
where

• C = Unit Contribution (Margin)

Profit and Loss as Contribution minus Fixed Costs

Subtracting Variable Costs from both Costs and Sales yields the simplified diagram and
equation for Profit and Loss.

In symbols:

Diagram relating all quantities in CVP

These diagrams can be related by a rather busy diagram, which demonstrates how if one subtracts
Variable Costs, the Sales and Total Costs lines shift down to become the Contribution and Fixed Costs
lines. Note that the Profit and Loss for any given number of unit sales is the same, and in particular the
break-even point is the same, whether one computes by Sales = Total Costs or as contribution =
Fixed Costs.

Mathematically, the contribution graph is obtained from the sales graph by a shear, to be precise

92
where V are Unit Variable Costs.

Applications

CVP simplifies the computation of break-even point in break-even analysis, and more
generally allows simple computation of Target Income Sales. It simplifies analysis of short
run trade-offs in operational decisions.

Limitations

CVP is a short run, marginal analysis: it assumes that unit variable costs and unit revenues are
constant, which is appropriate for small deviations from current production and sales, and
assumes a neat division between fixed costs and variable costs, though in the long run all
costs are variable. For longer-term analysis that considers the entire life-cycle of a product,
one therefore often prefers activity-based costing or throughput accounting.

Depreciation – An Introduction

Depreciation is the reduction in the cost of an asset used for business due to usage,
passage of time, wear and tear, technological obsolescence, depletion, inadequacy, rot,
rust, decay and the like. While preparing the final accounts, a provision is made for such
reduction in value or reduced from the cost of the asset.

Excerpts from Wikipedia on Depreciation are available in Annexure A of this Case Study,

Indian WDV requirements. This would require a little effort, but is definitely achievable, as
we shall see. In the process, we shall learn to make greater use of MS-Excel.

1. Rate of Depreciation under WDV Method: The Rage of Depreciation under WDV

Annexure A
Depreciation

Depreciation is a term used in accounting, economics and finance to spread the cost of an
asset over the span of several years.

In common speech, depreciation is the reduction in the cost of an asset used for business purposes
during certain amount of time due to usage, passage of time, wear and tear, technological outdating or
obsolescence, depletion, inadequacy, rot, rust, decay or other such factors. In accounting, however,
depreciation is a term used to describe any method of attributing the historical or purchase cost of an
asset across its useful life, roughly corresponding to normal wear and tear. It is of most use when
dealing with assets of a short, fixed service life, and which is an example of applying the matching
principle per generally accepted accounting principles. Depreciation in accounting is often mistakenly
seen as a basis for recognizing impairment of an asset, but unexpected changes in value, where seen
as significant enough to account for, are handled through write-downs or similar techniques which
adjust the book value of the asset to reflect its current value.

The use of depreciation affects the financial statements and in some countries, it also affects the taxes
of companies and individuals. The recording of depreciation will cause an expense to be recognized,
thereby lowering stated profits on the income statement, while the net value of the asset (the portion of
the historical cost of the asset that remains to provide future value to the company) will decline on the
balance sheet. Depreciation reported for accounting and tax purposes may differ substantially.
Depreciation and its related concept, amortization (generally, the depreciation of intangible assets), are
non-cash expenses. Neither depreciation nor amortization will directly affect the cash flow of a
company, as both are accounting representations of expenses attributable to a given period. In
accounting statements, depreciation may neither figure in the cash flow statement, nor be ―added back‖
to net income (along with other items) to derive the operating cash flow. Depreciation recognized for tax
purposes will, however, affect the cash flow of the company, as tax depreciation will reduce taxable
profits; there is generally no requirement that treatment of depreciation for tax and accounting purposes
be identical. Where depreciation is shown on accounting statements, the figure usually does not match
the depreciation for tax purposes.

Because of its non-standardized derivation, depreciation is a key component of EBITDA, a metric


used to gauge the worth of a company independent of tax-jurisdiction effects and capitalization
structure. Salvage value is the estimated value of an asset at the end of its useful life. In
accounting, the salvage value of an asset is its remaining value after depreciation. This is also
known as residual value or scrap value. It is the net cash inflow that occurs when the asset is
liquefied at the end of its life. Salvage value can be negative if the residual asset requires special
treatment to terminate—for example, used nuclear materials or CRT’s containing lead.

In economics, depreciation is the decrease in the economic value of the capital stock of a firm, nation

98
or other entity, either through physical depreciation, obsolescence or changes in the demand
for the services of the capital in question. If capital stock is C0 at the beginning of a period,
investment is I and depreciation D, the capital stock at the end of the period, C 1, is C0 + I - D.

Accounting

A company needs to report depreciation accurately in its financial statements in order to


achieve two main objectives:

• matching its expenses with the income generated by means of those expenses, and
• ensuring that the asset values in the balance sheet are not overstated. (An asset
acquired in Year 1 is unlikely to be worth the same amount in Year 5.)
Depreciation is an attempt to write-off the cost of Non Current Asset over its useful life. The word write-
off means to turn it into an expense. For example, an entity may depreciate its equipment by 15% per
year. This rate should be reasonable in aggregate (such as when a manufacturing company is looking
at all of its machinery), and consistently employed. However, there is no expectation that each
individual item declines in value by the same amount, primarily because the recognition of depreciation
is based upon the allocation Mof historical costs and not current market prices.

Accounting standards bodies have detailed rules on which methods of depreciation are
acceptable, and auditors should express a view if they believe the assumptions underlying
the estimates do not give a true and fair view.

Recording depreciation

For historical cost purposes, assets are recorded on the balance sheet at their original cost; this is
called the historical cost. Historical cost minus all depreciation expenses recognized on the asset since
purchase is called the book value. Depreciation is not taken out of these assets directly. It is
instead recorded in a contra asset account: an asset account with a normal credit balance, typically
called ―accumulated depreciation‖. Balancing an asset account with its corresponding accumulated
depreciation account will result in the net book value. The net book value will never fall below the
salvage value, meaning that once an asset is fully depreciated, no further expenses will be taken
during its life. Salvage value is the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life. In this
way, total depreciation for an asset will never exceed the estimated total cash outlay (depreciable
basis) for the asset. The exception to this is in many priceregulatedm industries (public utilities)
where salvage is estimated net of the cost of physically removing the asset from service.
(Decommissioning a nuclear power plant is a nontrivial expense.) If the expected cost of removal
exceeds the expected raw (or gross) salvage, then the net of the two (called net salvage) may be
negative. In this case, the depreciation recorded on the regulated books may exceed the depreciable basis.
Companies have no obligation to dispose of depreciated assets, of course, and many fully
depreciated assets continue to generate income.

99
Recording a depreciation expense will involve a credit to an accumulated depreciation account.
The corresponding debit will involve either an expense account or an asset account that represents
a future expense, such as work in progress. Depreciation is recorded as an adjusting journal entry.

A write-down is a form of depreciation that involves a partial write off. Part of the value of the
asset is removed from the balance sheet. The reason may be that the book value (accounted
value) of the fixed asset has diverged from the market value and causes the company a loss.
An example of this would be a revaluation of goodwill on an acquisition that went bad.

Methods of depreciation

There are several methods for calculating depreciation, generally based on either the
passage of time or the level of activity (or use) of the asset.

Straight-line depreciation

Straight-line depreciation is the simplest and most-often-used technique, in which the company
estimates the salvage value of the asset at the end of the period during which it will be used to generate
revenues (useful life) and will expense a portion of original cost in equal increments over that period.
The salvage value is an estimate of the value of the asset at the time it will be sold or disposed of; it
may be zero or even negative. Salvage value is also known as scrap value or residual value.

Straight-line method:

For example, a vehicle that depreciates over 5 years, is purchased at a cost of US$17,000,
and will have a salvage value of US$2000, will depreciate at US$3,000 per year: ($17,000 −
$2,000)/ 5 years = $3,000 annual straight-line depreciation expense. In other words, it is the
depreciable cost of the asset divided by the number of years of its useful life.

This table illustrates the straight-line method of depreciation. Book value at the beginning
of the first year of depreciation is the original cost of the asset. At any time book value
equals original cost minus accumulated depreciation.
book value = original cost − accumulated depreciation Book value at the end of year
becomes book value at the beginning of next year. The asset is depreciated until the book
value equals scrap value.

Book value at Depreciation Expense Accumulated Book value at end


beginning of year Depreciation of year
$17,000 (original cost) $3,000 $3,000 $14,000
$14,000 $3,000 $6,000 $11,000
$11,000 $3,000 $9,000 $8,000
$8,000 $3,000 $12,000 $5,000

100
$5,000 $3,000 $15,000 $2,000 (scrap value)

If the vehicles were to be sold and the sales price exceeded the depreciated value (net
book value) then the excess would be considered a gain and subject to depreciation
recapture. In addition, this gain above the depreciated value would be recognized as
ordinary income by the tax office. If the sales price is ever less than the book value, the
resulting capital loss is tax deductible. If the sale price were ever more than the original
book value, then the gain above the original book value is recognized as a capital gain.

If a company chooses to depreciate an asset at a different rate from that used by the tax
office then this generates a timing difference in the income statement due to the difference
(at a point in time) between the taxation department‘s and company‘s view of the profit.

Declining-balance method

Depreciation methods that provide for a higher depreciation charge in the first year of an asset‘s
life and gradually decreasing charges in subsequent years are called accelerated depreciation methods.
This may be a more realistic reflection of an asset‘s actual expected benefit from the use of the
asset: many assets are most useful when they are new. One popular accelerated method is the
declining-balance method. Under this method the book value is multiplied by a fixed rate.

Annual depreciation = depreciation rate * book value at beginning of year

The most common rate used is double the straight-line rate. For this reason, this technique
is referred to as the double-declining-balance method. To illustrate, suppose a business
has an asset with $1,000 original cost, $100 salvage value, and 5 years useful life. First,
calculate straight-line depreciation rate. Since the asset has 5 years useful life, the
straight-line depreciation rate equals (100% / 5) 20% per year. With double-declining-balance
method, as the name suggests, double that rate, or 40% depreciation rate is used.

The table below illustrates the double-declining-balance method of depreciation. Book


Value at the beginning of the first year of depreciation is the Original Cost of the asset. At
any time Book Value equals Original Cost minus Accumulated Depreciation.

book value = original cost − accumulated depreciation

Book value at the end of year becomes book value at the beginning of next year. The
asset is depreciated until the book value equals salvage value, or scrap value.

Book value at Depreciation Depreciation Accumulated Book value at


beginning of rate expense depreciation end of year
year
$1,000 (original 40% $400 $400 $600
cost)
$600 40% $240 $640 $360
$360 40% $144 $784 $216

101
$216 40% $86.40 $870.40 $129.60
$129.60 $129.60 - $100 $29.60 $900 $100 (scrap
value)

The salvage value is not considered in determining the annual depreciation, but the book
value of the asset being depreciated is never brought below its salvage value, regardless
of the method used. The process continues until the salvage value or the end of the
asset‘s useful life, is reached. In the last year of depreciation a subtraction might be
needed in order to prevent book value from falling below estimated Scrap Value.

Since declining-balance depreciation does not always depreciate an asset fully by its end
of life, some methods also compute a straight-line depreciation each year, and apply the
greater of the two. This has the effect of converting from declining-balance depreciation to
straight-line depreciation at a midpoint in the asset‘s life.

Activity depreciation

Activity depreciation methods are not based on time, but on a level of activity. This could
be miles driven for a vehicle, or a cycle count for a machine. When the asset is acquired,
its life is estimated in terms of this level of activity. Assume the vehicle above is estimated
to go 50,000 miles in its lifetime. The per-mile depreciation rate is calculated as: ($17,000
cost - $2,000 salvage) / 50,000 miles = $0.30 per mile. Each year, the depreciation expense is
then calculated by multiplying the rate by the actual activity level.

Sum-of-years’ digits method

Sum-of-years‘ digits is a depreciation method that results in a more accelerated write-off


than straight line, but less than declining-balance method. Under this method annual depreciation
is determined by multiplying the Depreciable Cost by a schedule of fractions.

Depreciable cost = original cost − salvage value

Book value = original cost − accumulated depreciation

Example: If an asset has original cost of $1000, a useful life of 5 years and a salvage
value of $100, compute its depreciation schedule.

First, determine years‘ digits. Since the asset has useful life of 5 years, the years‘ digits
are: 5, 4, 3, 2, & 1. Next, calculate the sum of the digits. 5+4+3+2+1=15

The sum of the digits can also be determined by using the formula (n2+n)/2 where n is
equal to the useful life of the asset. The example would be shown as (52+5)/2=15

Depreciation rates are as follows: 5/15 for the 1st year, 4/15 for the 2nd year, 3/15 for the
3rd year, 2/15 for the 4th year, and 1/15 for the 5th year.

Units-of-production depreciation method

Under the units-of-production method, useful life of the asset is expressed in terms of the
total number of units expected to be produced:

Suppose, an asset has original cost $70,000, salvage value $10,000, and is expected to
produce 6,000 units.

Depreciation per unit = ($70,000−10,000) / 6,000 = $10

10 x actual production will give you the depreciation cost of the current year.

The table below illustrates the units-of-production depreciation schedule of the asset.

Book value at Units of pro- Depreciation Depreciation Accumulated Book value at

$70,000 1,000 $10 $10,000 $10,000 $60,000

$49,000 1,200 $10 $12,000 $33,000 $37,000
$37,000 1,300 $10 $13,000 $46,000 $24,000
$24,000 1,400 $10 $14,000 $60,000 $10,000 (scrap
value)

Depreciation stops when book value is equal to the Scrap Value of the asset. In the end
the sum of accumulated depreciation and scrap value equals to the original cost.

Units of time depreciation

103
Units of time depreciation are similar to units of production, and are used for depreciation
equipment used in mine or natural resource exploration, or a case where amount the asset
is used is not linear year to year. A simple example can be given for construction
companies, where some equipment is used only for some specific purpose. Depending on
the number of projects, the equipment will be used and depreciation charged accordingly.

Group depreciation method

Group depreciation method is used for depreciating multiple-asset accounts using straight-line-
depreciation method. Assets must be similar in nature and have approximately the same useful lives.

Asset Historical Salvage value Depreciable Life Depreciation


cost cost per year
Computers $5,500 $500 $5,000 5 $1,000

Composite depreciation method

The composite method is applied to a collection of assets that are not similar, and have different
service lives. For example, computers and printers are not similar, but both are part of the office
equipment. Depreciation on all assets is determined by using the straight-line-depreciation method.

Asset Historical Salvage value Depreciable Life Depreciation


cost cost per year
Computers $5,500 $500 $5,000 5 $1,000
Printers $1,000 $100 $ 900 3 $ 300
Total $ 6,500 $600 $5,900 4.5 $1,300

Composite life equals the total depreciable cost divided by the total depreciation per year.
$5,900 / $1,300 = 4.5 years.

Composite depreciation rate equals depreciation per year divided by total historical cost.
$1,300 / $6,500 = 0.20 = 20%

Depreciation expense equals the composite depreciation rate times the balance in the asset account
(historical cost). (0.20 * $6,500) $1,300. Debit depreciation expense and credit
accumulated depreciation.

When an asset is sold, debit cash for the amount received and credit the asset account for its original
cost. Debit the difference between the two to accumulated depreciation. Under the composite method
no gain or loss is recognized on the sale of an asset. Theoretically, this makes sense because the
gains and losses from assets sold before and after the composite life will average themselves out.

To calculate composite depreciation rate, divide depreciation per year by total historical cost. To
calculate depreciation expense, multiply the result by the same total historical cost. The result, not
surprisingly, will equal to the total depreciation Per Year again.

Common sense requires depreciation expense to be equal to total depreciation per year, without first

dividing and then multiplying total depreciation per year by the same number.

D. MS-ACCESS 2010

MS-Access 2010 is a part of the MS-Office 2010 suite of office productivity software and is primarily
geared to manage data as a Database. This compilation provides practical case studies on use of MS
Access using Case Studies and simple examples to help students to have a practical hands-on training
(HOT) on the use of database.

Case Studies

CS1: A simple example on Library to understand the concept of Databases, Forms and
Reports creation

We shall learn to create a Database, Forms and Reports for managing books in a Library,
in this case study. This is a preliminary case study on using MS-Access.

Assignment 1: Creating Databases

• The library at a college XYZ recently received a large collection of new books and would like
to keep better track of the titles. The library is still using an antiquated method for cataloging
most of its books. You have been asked to create following databases (using Design View)
named BOOKS DETAILS containing the following fields:
Field Name Type Field Size
Catalog number AutoNumber Long Integer
Title Text 70
Author Text 25
Copyright date Date
Create a blank database named the BOOKS DETAILS which will serve as a model for the
library‘s entire collection; the database will make search, tracking, and inventory functions
much easier.
• Add a new field using the Datasheet View in the BOOKS DETAILS Table.
Field Name Type Field Size
Publications Text 15

Solution: On start of MS Access, click New Blank Database and provide File Name
―BOOKS DETAILS‖ as shown in Fig. 1.1 followed by Fig. 1.2.

105
Fig.1.1: Step 1 in creating database BOOKS DETAILS Table

Fig. 1.2: Step 2 in creating database BOOKS DETAILS Table

The following Fig.1.3 depicts the table structure of BOOKS DETAILS in Design View
Switch to Datasheet View and enter the records in the table. Your printed database table should be
similar in the format to the one shown here in Fig. 1.4 (not intended to be the final answer).

Right click the row/column to explore the options that can be implemented on the data records. Like

• Delete record number 2.


• Insert a new record / Insert a new column.

106
• Adjust row/column height/width.
Solution: The following Fig. 1.4 depicts the table structure in Design View.

Fig. 1.4: “BOOKS DETAILS” Table


Table 1.1 displays the options that can be applied either on a row or on a column.

Table 1.1: Options available in Row/Column on right-click of the mouse


Assignment 2: Creating Form

Create a form for the table BOOKS DETAILS and add the following:

• Two in-built buttons ―Go to First Record‖ and ―Go to Last Record‖.
• 3 more records leading to a total of 8 records in the table.
Solution: Click on Create >> Form as shown in Fig. 1.5.

107
Fig. 1.5: “BOOKS DETAILS” Table
The final Form view of the table is as shown in Fig. 1.6.

Fig. 1.6: Books Details Form


Assignment 3: Creating Report

Create a report to present the data recorded in the table ―BOOKS DETAILS‖.

Solution: Click on Create >> Report. The Report format of the Table BOOKS DETAILS is
shown in Fig. 1.7.

Fig. 1.7: “BOOKS DETAILS” Report

108
CS2: ITT Students Database Management

We shall learn the process of creating and using a MS - Access database to manage data of ITT
Students and in the process explore and learn to use various features and facilities of MS-Access.

Assignment 1: Database Creation

You are a database designer who has to perform following assignments:

A. Table of Students enrolled in different ITT Courses organized by the Institute.

• The table should be named as ICAI_Students and must contain the following fields:

Field Name Type Field Size


Student’s Registration Num- AutoNumber Long Integer
ber
Scheme Enrolled In Text 5
First Name Text 25
Last Name Text 20
Date of Birth Date
Father’s Name Text 30
Mother’s Name Text 30
Permanent Address Text 100
Mailing Address Text 100
Landline Number Text 20
Mobile Number Text 15
Email Address Text 25
Students’ Registration Number should be made Primary Key.
Create a blank database.

Solution: The following Fig(s) 2.1(a) and Fig. 2.1(b) show the table structure in Design view.

Fig. 2.1(a): Table in a Design View

109
Add the following new field:
Field Name Type Field Size
Gender Text 6

Solution: Fig. 2.1 (b) shows how a new field can be added in an existing database.

Fig. 2.1(b): Adding new field “Gender” in the Table ICAI_Students

B. Table of ITT centers and the students enrolled in the centers across country.

The table should be named as ITT_Centers and must contain the following fields:
Centre Code be the Primary Key.
Field Name Type Field Size
Centre Code Text 5
Centre Name Text 15
Centre Region Text 10
Centre Address Text 50
Student’s Registration Number AutoNumber Long Integer
Batch Commencement Date Date
Batch Completion Date Date
Certificate Issued date Date
Solution: Fig. 2.2 shows the Design View of the Table ITT_Centers.

Fig. 2.2: Design view of ITT_Centers


C. Table of Students’ Marks obtained in Information Technology Training.

The table should be named as Students_ITTResult and must contain the following fields:

110
Student’s Registration Number be the Primary Key.

Field Name Type Field Size


Student’s Registration Number AutoNumber Long Integer
Marks in Module I Number Integer
Marks in Module II Number Integer
Attendance % Number Integer
Marks in Online Examination Number Integer
Assignment 2: Creating Forms

• Create a form for each of the tables naming ICAI_Students, ITT_Centers and
Students_ITTResult and bold the form title. Add the following textboxes in the form of
Students_TTResult and calculate these field values using following formulas.
Field Name Type
Total Marks Obtained Number
Percentage in Aggregate Number
Result Status Text
Hints:

Total Marks Obtained = Marks in Module I + Marks in Module II + Marks in Online Examination

Percentage in Aggregate = (Total Marks/500)*100

Result Status = If Percentage in Aggregate > 59, Result status is ―Pass‖, else ―Fail‖.

Also in the property sheet, the above three fields should be disabled, so that no data can
be entered through user in these fields.

Solution: It is not advisable to store the calculated fields through form in a table.

Also, by default the report would generate only the fields that are independent to each
other. For example – In the report corresponding to the table Students_ITTResult, by
default the fields Total Marks Obtained, Percentage in Aggregate and Result Status would
be missing as their values are calculated fields and are not stored in the database. So to
generate the complete view of the Students_ ITTResult report, the labels and the text
boxes corresponding to these calculated fields need to be incorporated manually, and the
required expressions for each of the field need to be calculated in the Control Source
property of each. For example - Value in text box ―Result Status‖ can be calculated using
the following steps:
a. Choose Control Source.
b. Expression Builder window gets opened as shown in Fig. 2.3.
c. Enter the following expression and save it:
IIF (([Percentage In Aggregate] > 59), ―PASS‖, ―FAIL‖)
Disable the Total Marks Obtained, Percentage in Aggregate and Result Status textboxes.

111
Fig. 2.3: Form View Students_ITTResult
Enter a minimum of 20 records in each of the table, wherein Total Marks Obtained, Percentage In
Aggregate and Result Status fields of the table Students_ITTResult are to be calculated on the
basis of the parameters Marks in Module I, Marks in Module II and Marks in Online Examination.

Solution: The Fig. 2.4 below shows one of the forms ―ICAI_Students‖ corresponding to the
Table ICAI_Students. Similarly, create forms corresponding to the tables ―ITT_Centers‖ and

―Students_ITTResult‖.

(Property Sheet can be opened by pressing the key F4.)

Fig. 2.4: Form View of the Table ICAI_Students


Assignment 3: Creating Reports

• Create and print the reports for each of the tables created above.
Solution: One of the reports format generated corresponding to the Table ITT_Centers is shown in

112
Fig. 2.5: ITT_Centers Report
Assignment 4: Establishing Relationships between Tables

• Define One-to-One relationship between the following:


a. ICAI_Students table and ITT_Centers; and
b. ITT_Centers table and Students_ITTResult

Enforce referential integrity in these relationships and Save.

Solution: Fig. 2.6 shows one-to-one relationship between the tables.

b. Transactions Form
Solution: Create the two forms for the tables Customer and Accounts separately. Right
click the Main form ―Customer‖ in the Navigation Pane and choose the Design view. Drag
the Accounts form to the Customer Form as shown in Fig. 2.12.

Also, disable CustomerID, Scroll bars, Record navigation properties in the Accounts Form in the
Property sheet.
