C. Depreciation Methods
There are various types of methods are available under the depreciation which can be used by the wonderland construction supplies in their future investment. The methods are the SLR, declining balance depreciation method, the sum of the year digits and units of production deprecation method (Jackson et al., 2010). In order to identify the differences between them then there is a need to study below mention methods concepts in which depreciation is charged on the basis of different perspectives.
-
Straight Line Method (SLR):
It is a method in which the carrying amount of the fixed assets is reducing over its useful life. This method is developed with the aim to indicate the consumption pattern of the underlying assets and it is one used in case there is no particular pattern in which assets is to be used over time (Rambaud & Richard, 2015). This method is widely used by companies as it is easy to calculate.
-
Declining Balance Depreciation Method:
This method charges high depreciation at a higher rate in regards to the previous years of assets. The value of the assets is reducing as the life of assets progresses. It is calculated in the following manner: – Depreciation per annum= (Netbook value-residual value)*Rate%
-
Sum of the Years Digits:
It calculates the depreciation by summing the number of years in an assets useful life (Gravelle, 2011).
- Units of production depreciation method:
In This method, depreciation is charged based on the expected output or usage of the assets. It is calculated (Cost-Residual Value)/ Useful Life (Bhagoria et al., 2010).
Thus, each method provides a major benefit to the company in terms to generate tax savings as depreciated assets are recorded as expenses in the bookkeeping.
D. Inventory Control Method
The methods which are used by the business for maintaining their inventory are the ABC method, EOQ, FIFO and LILO. Likewise, EOQ (economic order quantity) supports purchasing the economic quantity or determine the optimum quantity by considering various factors such as cost of ordering, holding or carrying inventory cost etc (Wee & Widyadana, 2013). It is calculated in the mention manner Q = √2AS/I. FIFO method.
FIFO method includes that sold the first item which is bought at the initial level. This means that item is still in stock and such activities help the companies in the period of high price. Whereas LILO indicates that items bought last need to be sold first and such policy does not allow to properly flowing of inventory so because of this, the LILO method is least accepted by the companies in order to control the inventory level in their warehouse. ABC method is also playing a crucial role in controlling the expenses of the inventory. However, it assigns cost to each activity that’s help the company to measure the total expenses of the company.
Thus, the above method has a deep impact on the financial position of the business because estimating the correct inventory level enables the company to reduce its extra investment. Instead of this, it allows the business to make a further investment that assists them to improve their financial position in the market.
E. Recommendation
Bank Reconciliation Statement assist in making internal control as it eliminates the maximum mistakes, errors in the bookkeeping which helps in managing the internal operations of the business in an efficient manner. At the same time, bank reconciliation statements also indicate the differences between the entries which assist the business to study the problem areas which is occurring in the business internal process (Fifield et al., 2011). Cash Control should also consider as a suggestion for the companies in order to manage the internal operations. Cash control allows the smoothly flow of operating expenses which result in managing all activities in an appropriate manner. However, if the company manages its daily operating expenses then they become capable enough to control all the activities, stakeholders and able to generate sufficient revenue. Thus, both the methods would be well suited to the internal control and they are highly recommended to the business entities for managing their operation.
