ACCOUNTING FOR FIXED
ASSETS

 FIXED ASSETS
 Have long life
 To be used in the firm
 Not bought for re-sale
 Examples include machinery, motor
vehicles, office equipment, etc.

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 23


DEPRECIATION OF FIXED
ASSETS

The charge in the Income Statement for the


expected usage of the fixed asset
Main Method of calculating Depreciation
 Straight Line Method

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 24


STRAIGHT LINE METHOD OF
CALCULATING DEPRECIATION
 Amount of Depreciation is the same every
year.
EXAMPLE
 An equipment was bought for RM22,000.
 Expected usage is 4 years
 Expected scrap or disposal value at the end
of 4 years is RM2,000.

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 25


STRAIGHT LINE METHOD OF
CALCULATING DEPRECIATION
(Continued)

DEPRECIATION
= Cost - Estimated Disposal Value
Number of Expected Years Of Use (4)
= RM22,000-RM2,000
4 Years
= RM20,000 = RM5,000 Depreciation each year
4 for 4 years.

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 26


TREATMENT OF DEPRECIATION
IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 A firm financial year ends on 31st Dec.
 It bought a machine on 1 Jan. 2016 for
RM2,000.
 Depreciation is at the rate of 20% on a Straight
Line basis.

A slight drop in 2017 due to lower profit margin

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 48


GROSS PROFIT MARGIN
= Gross Profit x 100
Sales
This ratio measures the profitability in buying
or producing goods & selling these goods before any
expenses are taken into account.
 Cost of sales represent a major cost for retailing,
wholesaling and manufacturing business & change

line of the company (i.e. net profit)

A slight increase is indicated in 2017.
Possible Reasons for Low Ratio
 Inefficient pricing strategy due to selling price too
low & volume not high enough
 Poor control of cost of sales due to high cost price
and/or inefficient use of materials.

period which cannot be used for profitable purposes.
Possible reasons for high ratio includes
Collection dept. not aggressive
Poor choice of customers
Economic downturn

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 59


SETTLEMENT PERIOD FOR

Creditors are being paid earlier in 2017

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 60


SETTLEMENT PERIOD FOR TRADE
PAYABLES (Continued)

Trade Credit is a free source of finance for


businesses
Normal for some businesses to pay trade
creditors much later than the agreed terms.
However, such a practice when taken to
extreme can result in a loss of goodwill
with suppliers

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 61


SUMMARY OF EFFICIENCY
OF MAJU CARPETS

 Poor control of stock/inventory


 Good management of debtors
 Paying creditors earlier – good supplier
relationship

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 62

= 1.87 times = 1.79 times

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 64


CURRENT RATIO (Continued)

A hypermarket would have a low current


ratio as it will hold only fast-moving stocks of
finished goods and will sell mostly for cash.
A high current ratio indicates liquidity & is
thus preferred.
However, if very high could mean that co.
has over –invested in current assets
For Maju Carpet Bhd, the liquidity position
has slightly deteriorated in 2017.
Prepared by: Gerald Peries 65
ACID TEST RATIO
A more stringent test of liquidity.
For many businesses the inventory takes the
longest time to be converted to cash
Some companies may include old inventory
items in their books, giving suppliers a false
sense of safety
= Current assets – closing inventory

of the business.

Advantage because the operating cash flows


are a more reliable guide to the liquidity

For Maju Carpets Bhd, it has slightly deteriorated


in 2017.

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 69


SUMMARY OF LIQUIDITY
OF MAJU CARPETS BHD

 All ratios getting worse in 2017


– becoming more risky

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 70


GEARING RATIOS
Indicates the level of financing provided by outside
parties like debenture holders, banks, etc.
The higher the financing from outside parties, the
higher the gearing of the co.
This will result in higher commitment to pay
interest charges & principle on maturity.
This burden can significantly increase the risk of
the co. becoming bankrupt. Why then would a
business want to borrow?

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 71


GEARING RATIOS(Continued)
The reasons for borrowings include:-
 Owners have insufficient funds
 Interest expenses are an allowable expense
against tax which can reduce the financing
cost
 As a means of increasing returns to owners
 Nature of industry & cash flows.

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 72

= 10 times = 40 times

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 76


INTEREST COVER RATIO(Continued)

Low ratio indicates a low safety level to lenders &


therefore high risk & a high ratio indicates good
safety to lenders & therefore low risk.

The safety level to lenders has increased


tremendously in 2017 due to a substantial
repayment of loans, thus resulting in lower interest
payments.

Prepared by: Gerald Peries 77


SUMMARY OF GEARING
OF MAJU CARPETS BHD

 Very low gearing losing out on tax


incentives
 Should consider increasing gearing &
improving liquidity but keeping an eye on
risk.
