b. To study his learning potential and knowledge of accounting.

c. To understand every business transaction that the company makes in order efficiently organize the books.

MATERIAL AIDS:

Aid # 1. The Questionnaire.

PROCEDURE:

1.

This should be a loose interview session using the questionnaire as a guide.

2.

It should be conducted in the owner's company so that the teacher can get a first hand idea of the company's operations, review the firm's paperwork and look at any rudimental accounting system that might be in use. In this way the instructor should be able to judge the difficulty or ease that teaching this person may present.

3.

The understanding of all commercial transactions is indispensable. After the interview you should be able to state all the business policies of this company. This will include how postdated checks are issued, received and handled; whether the company incurs expenses or receives income from outside the business; who pays for the transportation of merchandise, etc.

4.

After the interview list all the accounts this company needs to carry and in what manner you ought to organize the books to facilitate entries.

5.

It might be pointed out that the teacher should not attempt to change the company's business practices at this point. He should only figure out how to account for them. During the lesson the concept of the separation of the owners' cash from that of the company will be introduced, Most fundamental business policy changes should be suggested only after the first month's financial statements are compiled. In this manner the instructor can demonstrate with facts how changes may improve the company's condition.

b) Elaborate Financial Statements

MATERIAL AIDS:

Handout Aid 29.

PROCEDURE:

The following is not a lesson plan but a detailed explanation of statement elaboration. Two or three days before month end give a short class on this subject.
Often students will do better if given a step by step approach: squaring the month, completing the Account Book and, then, elaboration of the Statement.
The best students will loam in two months; the rest in 4. If they have not learned by this point, have them drop the Cash Book and only carry the Credit Books for control.

1.

Closing the Books

1.1 Take a month end inventory using the inventory section of the Cash Book. Pass balances to the Account Book.

1.2 Square Cash Book on the last day of month.
a) This effectively squares the month.
b) Leave a margin of knee between months for correctionsand omissions.
c) Start next month with Bank and Cash on Hand balances.

2.

Account Book

Past Month's Balance
+ Debit Entries
- Credit Entries
This Month's Balance
a) If balances on control accounts to not match those in the Account Book, compare all entries and check all mathematics until the discrepancy is found.
b) Group all variable expenses in "Cost of Sales"
c) Group all fixed expenses in "Other Expenses"
d) Figure accumulated balances for year end purposes.

3.

Trial Balance

3.1 Pass all account balances by filling in the blanks.

3.2 Use last month's inventory figure.

3.3 The sum of Column I must equal Column II

3.4 If the Trial Balance does not square. . .
a) Were all numbers correctly passed?
b) Are the mathematical operations in the Account Book correct?
c) Were the balances from the squared Cash Book and the Amounts of Credit Sales and Purchases correctly passed?
d) Are control account balances and the Account Book squared?

4.

b) Check accuracy by comparing sum of Capital accounts to Assets minus Liabilities.

OBJECTIVES:

How to
a) apply and interpret financial statements
b) use other parts of the system for analysts
c) use the system as a base for budget and cost analysis

MATERIAL AIDS:

Aids 30, 31, 32

PROCEDURE:

A month or two after the students have completed sets of financial statements, give them a class on the use and application of these statements and the rest of the system.

1.

The Profit and Loss Statement - organized to facilitate marginal utility analysis.

1.1 Demonstrate the effect of variable costs upon sales revenues.
a) Show how "costs of sales" and "cost of goods sold" affect marginal utility
b) Labor costs generally, may be treated as a fixed cost. Only treat it as a variable coat when it truly (in accordance with the accounting data, not intuition) shows a marked monthly variance reflected in production changes. To match labor and inventory costs is extremely complicated and we suggest the fixed coat method, Any variance is averaged out over time.

1.2 Demonstrate how marginal utility must cover fixed costs to have profits
a) The salary of the owner (or owners) is included among the fixed costs for psychological reasons.
- We never want him to see profits unless they are over what he personally takes out of the business.
- This way he will treat his personal expenses as a cost and perhaps thinks twice before spending money he knows 0a company needs.
- To convince him he should budget his expenses in a fixer weekly salary and live within it.
b) If sales taxes are paid and do not really have a relationship to sales, they should be treated as a fixed coat.

2.

The Balance Sheet

2.1 Examine the relation between Assets, Liabilities, and Capital and the effect of profit or losses.

2.2 Explain current assets, current liabilities, and the concept of Working Capital.
a) Working Capital is included in our Balance Sheet.
b) Show how the purchase of machinery, payment of long term debt, and monthly losses affect Working Capital. Aids 30, 31.
c) Explain difference between liquidity and Working Capital.

3.

Other Analytical Aspects of the System.

3.1 Control of Inventories and Receivables "If the company has Working Capital but no cash on hand, it has probably invested too much in inventories, has a large amount receivables with a slow rotation, or both".
a) Explain inventory control and suggest simple ways to construct systems (Aid 32).
b) Demontrate how to speed-up receivables rotation.
- the Individual Account Section can serve as a Kardex if payment dates are included in the entries.

3.2 The Book of Accounts
a) The analysis of all monthly accounts and costs shows seasonality as well as changes in costs.
b) Facilitates historical analysis.

4.

The Focus of Class Instruction

4.1 The owner should evaluate his own company as if he were planning to purchase it.

4.2 Pointing out weak points and strong points the owner should present his analysis to the group for discussion.

4.3 Create a fictiticus company if you the instructor, see that the owners would prefer not to discuss their companies' problems in front of others.

5.

Other Farms of Analysis

5.1 Cash Flow Systems . . all the information is provided

5.2 Budgetary Control ... based upon historical cat. and cash flow projections

5.3 Variable Cost Analysis of Products,
a) Isolate monthly Fixed Costs
b) Assign monthly variable costs of raw materials and sales costs to each product and compare them to sales figures ... this comparison will show the break-even point for each product.
c) The percentage of total sales per product' the sales coat percentage per product and the cost of goods sold percentage per product are all one needs to establish an elementary break-even point and cost analysis Remember that this does not take into account a very important variable.. the time of production! One must take the appropriate time measurements.

OBJECTIVES:

By example show how auxiliary systems must meet particular needs.

MATERIAL AIDS:

Aids 32, 33, 34.

PROCEDURE:

The following are three simple control systems. We urge all instructors to create similar ones to meet the auxiliary control problems of the Micro Industry,

1.

Inventory Control - For the owner who wants to:
a) Study individual product movement
b) Have a "Cost of Goods Sold" for each product
c) Check against robbery
d) Control the amount of inventories.

1.1 Aid 32. This simple entry and withdrawal system must be applied to raw materials, work in process, finished goods, or all three.

1.2 It is as good as the people who make the entries.

2.

Aid 33. Postdated Check Control System

2.1 This simple system is only applicable if the company has too many checks to remember.

2.2 It should indirectly create cash flow planning.

3.

Aid 34. Use an Auxiliary Cash on Hand Book for the company with a lot of cash transactions.
Make summary entries into the CASH Book at end of day.

OBJECTIVES:

To stimulate creativity in the application of entries and accounts when applying odd transactions.

MATERIAL AIDS:

Aids 35, 36.

PROCEDURE:

1.

Dividing Profits among more than one owner.

1.1 If owners take cash from the company on a monthly basis, expense the amounts from profits. Instead of "Personal Expenses" an account called "Owners Expenses" would be used.

1.2 If owners reinvest their profits, a liability account for "owners profit" should be opened. This might include an individual account and summary control section. The entries would be a debit to "Owners Expenses" and a credit to the "Owners Profits" account. No cash is interchanged.

2.

Passing postdated checks from clients to suppliers.

2.1 Credit "Payments from Clients" Column and debit "Payments to Suppliers" Column. Then make similar entries in the Individual Account and Summary sections of the Credit Books.

2.2 Again, no cash is passed.

3.

Aid 35. Paying Workers or Creditors with product instead of cash.

4.

Aid 36. Another auxiliary method to organize accounts receivable when clients make payments in advance.

4.1 To be used only when student cannot master traditional approach.

4.2 Offers individual client control without a summary.

4.21 Individual section for those who have advanced money.

4.22 Individual section for those who owe money.

4.23 Must add up individuals debts at end of month.

4.3 Must organize Account Book accordingly.

4.31 Those who advance become liabilities listed among accounts payable.

4.32 The list of debtors is the accounts receivable
