    Definition

    Section 43 of the companies act 2013 prescribes that the share capital of a company broadly can be of two types or classes :

    1. Preference shares
    2. Equity shares

    Preference shares

    Preference shares are the shares that carry the following  two preferential rights :

    • Preferential rights to receive dividends, to be paid as a fixed amount or an amount calculated at a fixed rate, which may either be free of or subject to income tax before it is paid to equity shareholders, and
    • Return of capital on the winding up of the company before that of equity shares.

     

    Classes of preference shares

    Preference shares are broadly classified as follows :

    • With reference to the dividend
    • Participation in surplus profit
    • Convertibility
    • Redemption

     

    With reference to the dividend

    Cumulative preference shares are those preference shares that carry the right to receive arrears of dividends before the dividend is paid to the equity shareholders.

    Non-cumulative preference shares are those that do not carry the right to receive arrears of dividends.

     

    Participation in surplus profit

    Participating preference shares of the company may provide that after the dividend has been paid to the equity shareholders, the holders of preference shares will also have a right to participate in the remaining profits.

    Non-participating preference shares are those preference shares that do not carry the right to participate in the remaining profits after the equity shareholders have paid the dividend.

     

    Convertibility

    Convertible preference shares are those preference shares that carry the right to be converted into equity shares.

    Non-convertible preference shares are those that do not carry the right to be converted into equity shares.

     

    Redemption

    Redeemable preference shares are those preference shares that are redeemed by the company at the time specified for the repayment or earlier.

    Irredeemable preference shares are preference shares the amount of which can be returned by the company to the holders of such shares when the company is wound up.

     

    Equity shares

    Equity shares are those shares that are not preference shares.

    Equity shares are the most commonly issued class of shares that carry the maximum ‘risk and reward ‘ of the business the risks of losing part or all the value of the shares if the business incurs losses.

    The rewards are the payment of higher dividends and appreciation in the market value.

    Let me first explain the meaning of both the terms CapEx and OpEx

    Capital expenditure (in short CapEx) is basically incurred for Fixed assets like building, furniture, machinery, etc., or an intangible asset like Goodwill, patent, etc. This expenses are incurred in order to acquire a new asset or improve an existing one or maintain the asset in use.

    Capital expenditure is commonly found in the Cash flow statement under Investing activities as Investment in plant, machinery, equipment, etc.

    Operating Expenditure (in short OpEx) are day-to-day expenses incurred by a firm in order to carry its normal business.

    Expenses such as rent, advertisement, inventory costs, etc.

    Operating Expenses are shown in the income statement of the company as expenses incurred during the period.

    For Example: If a company purchases a printer, the printer would be a capital expenditure and the papers used for the printer would be operating expenditure.

    Difference between CapEx and OpEx

    Example 1: A company wants to lease machinery instead of buying it, in this case buying machinery would be capital expenditure, and leasing the machinery would be an Operating expense.

    Example 2: Buying machinery would cost a company for 50000 and leasing the same would cost 35000. So in this case leasing will be more preferred by a company which means operating expenditure would be preferred instead of a capital expenditure.

    From the point of view of tax treatment operating expenditure is more preferred over Capital expenditure because the expenses incurred during the year are deducted during the same year which reduces the tax levied on net income.

    Some real Examples from the Company Amazon

    This is the cash flow statement of Amazon, where the investing activities shows the capital expenditure incurred by the company during the years.

    This is the income statement of Amazon, it shows the operating expenditure incurred by the company during the year.

    Capital Expenditure:

    Capital expenditure is the expenditure incurred by an entity or organization to acquire or purchase a fixed asset. This expenditure forms part of non-current assets. The fixed asset is not expensed at the time of purchase instead, it is depreciated or amortized over its useful life.

    Example of Capital Expenditure:

    • Machinery: Machinery is a tangible non-current asset purchased by a company for business purposes. Since it is a non-current asset company will be using it for more than one accounting period hence, it should be capitalized in the balance sheet under the head assets. Capitalization is a method in which cost is included in the value of the asset and expensed over its useful life.

    For example, XYZ Ltd purchased machinery worth $1,00,000 and its useful life is 10 years.

    In this case, XYZ Ltd will capitalize the amount of machinery because it will be using it for more than one accounting year. Any asset used for more than one accounting year should be capitalized.

    • Installation charges on machinery: This expense is incurred while installing machines in the business premises and is a one-time expenditure. The whole amount of installation will be capitalized along with the cost of machinery in the balance sheet.

    In the above example cost of the machine is given as $1,00,000 and at the time of installation company incurred a further expenditure of $10,000. Here, the company will add the amount of installation with the cost of machinery because the installation charge is a one-time expense. The total cost of the machine will be $1,10,000.

    • Improvement cost of machinery: Any cost incurred in the improvement of the machine will be capitalized. It is so as it will improve the quality or extend the life of the machinery. Hence, this cost should be added to the historic cost of the machine.

    In the above example, after installation charges were incurred historic cost of the machine was $1,10,000. After a few years, the company made some improvements to the machine which amounted to $20,000 and the machine’s useful life was extended to more 5 years.

    The improvement cost of $20,000 will be added to the historical cost of $1,10,000. The total amount of $1,30,000 ($1,10,000+$20,000) will be shown in the balance sheet.

    Revenue Expenditure:

    Revenue expenditure is expenditure incurred for the purpose of trade or to maintain non-current assets. These are short-term expenses and consumed within one accounting year and also known as operating expenses.

    Examples of Revenue Expenditure:

    • Rent: It is an expense paid by the company for using the premises for business purposes to the owner of the premises. It is recurring in nature and hence, should be classified under revenue expenditure.

    For example, a company rented premises for business purposes and paid a monthly rent of $10,000. This expenditure of $10,000 incurred will fall under revenue expenditure because the company is incurring this expenditure monthly.

    • Depreciation: Depreciation is a non-cash expense and it is added back to the cash flow statement, alongside other expenses. This expense is incurred as a basis of consuming a portion of fixed assets for the current period. Depreciation is charged to the fixed assets to reduce their carrying amount as their value is consumed over time. This expense is of recurring in nature.

    For example, a company purchased an asset worth $2,00,000 and charges 10% depreciation every year for 10 years. Since, the company will charge 10% depreciation every year it is recurring in nature and hence, should be considered as revenue expenditure.

    • Purchase of raw material: Raw materials are materials used in primary production for the manufacturing of goods. These are needed on a regular basis and the cost of purchasing them is recurring in nature. Hence, they are classified under revenue expenditure.

    For example, a manufacturing company orders stock of its raw material every quarter. Here, the company is going to reorder stock in every quarter and hence, this will be a revenue expenditure.

    Capital expenditure can be capitalized as a part of non-current assets. Revenue expenditure cannot be capitalized and must be expensed in the statement of profit and loss.

    Before answering your question directly, let’s first understand the two terms, ‘Rent Outstanding’ and ‘Accounting Equation’.

    Accounting Equation

    Accounting Equation depicts the relationship between the following items of a business:

    • Assets,
    • Liabilities and
    • Owner’s Equity ( Capital )

    It is a simple formula that implies that the total assets of a business are always equal to the sum of its liabilities and Owner’s Equity (Capital).

    ASSETS = LIABILITIES + CAPITAL   OR   A = L + E

    It is also known as the balance sheet equation.

    This equation always holds good due to the double-entry system of accounting i.e. every event has a dual effect on items of the balance sheet.

    Outstanding Rent

    We know rent is an expense for a business and rent outstanding means that rent is due, not paid which implies it is a liability which the business has to settle.

    Hence Rent Outstanding is subtracted from the capital balance and added to liabilities.

    Let’s take an example to see how rent outstanding affects the accounting equation. Suppose a business has the following figures:

    Assets – Rs: 3,00,000

    Capital – Rs: 2,00,000

    Liabilities – Rs: 1,00,000

    Assets = Liabilities + Capital

    3,00,000 = 1,00,000 + 2,00,000

    Now if Rent outstanding of Rs: 20,000 arises, this will happen:-

    Assets – Rs: 3,00,000

    Capital – Rs: 2,00,000 – Rs: 20,000 = Rs: 2,80,000

    Liabilities – Rs: 1,00,000 + Rs: 20,000 = Rs: 1,20,000

    Assets = Liabilities + Capital

    3,00,000 = 1,20,000 + 2,80,000.

    Hence, when rent outstanding arises, it increases the liability and decreases the Capital by the same amount. Therefore both the sides tally and the accounting equations holds good.

    Rent Outstanding is shown on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. Also, the rent outstanding of the current year is shown in the debit side profit and loss account and we know the balance of the P/L account if profit, is added to Capital and in case of loss it is subtracted from Capital. Hence, the rent outstanding is subtracted from the capital.

    I hope my answer was useful to you.

    When a company earns profit, it distributes a proportion of its income to its shareholders, and such distribution is called the dividend. The dividend is allocated as a fixed amount per share and shareholders receive dividends proportional to their shareholdings.

    However, a company can only pay dividends out of its current year profits or retained earnings (profits of the company that are not distributed as dividend and retained in the business is called retained earnings) of previous years but not out of capital.

    Dividends can be paid to shareholders in the form of

    • Cash
    • dividend re-investing plan of the company
    • future shares
    • share repurchase.

    For companies, payment of regular dividends boosts the morale of the shareholders, investors trust the companies more and it reflects positively on the share price of the company.

    For example, Nestle in India paid an interim dividend of 1100.00% to its shareholders in 2021.

    The journal entry for dividend paid is

    Particulars Debit Credit
    Retained Earnings A/c                                                          Dr. Amt  
    To Cash A/c   Amt

     

    According to the golden rules of accounting-

    • Retained earnings is a credit account by nature and since dividends are paid from retained earnings resulting in a deduction of the account, we debit
    • Cash is credited because the account is debit in nature and since dividends are paid in cash it’s credited to present the deduction in the account.

    According to modern rules of accounting-

    • Since cash is decreasing, we credit
    • Since retained earnings are decreasing and it is a part of capital it should be

    For example-

    A company paid a dividend of 25 crores to its shareholders in cash, the journal entry according to golden rules will be-

    Particulars Debit

    (in crores)

    		 Credit

    (in crores)
    Retained Earnings A/c  (Dr.) 25  
    To Cash A/c   25

    The provision for doubtful debts is the estimated amount of bad debts which will be uncollectible in the future. It is usually calculated as a percentage of debtors. The provision for a doubtful debt account has a credit balance and is shown in the balance sheet as a deduction from debtors. It is a contra asset account which means an account with a credit balance.

    When a business first sets up a provision for doubtful debts, the full amount of the provision should be debited to bad debts expense as follows.

    Bad Debts A/c Debit Debit the increase in expense.
          To Provision for Doubtful Debts A/c Credit Credit the increase in liability.

    In subsequent years, when provision is increased the account is credited, and when provision is decreased the account is debited. This is so because provision for doubtful debts is a contra account to debtors and has a credit balance, and is treated as a liability.

    Effects of Provision for Doubtful Debts in financial statements:

    1. Trading A/c: No effect.
    2. Profit and Loss A/c: Debited to P&L A/c and charged as an expense.
    3. Balance Sheet: Deducted from Debtors.

    For example, ABC Ltd had debtors amounting to Rs 50,000. It creates a provision of 5% on debtors.

    Provision for Doubtful Debts = 50,000*5%

    = 2,500

    Journal entry for provision will be:

    Bad Debts A/c 2,500
          To Provision for Doubtful Debts A/c 2,500

    Effect on financial statements will be:

    Depreciation is an accounting method that is used to write off the cost of an asset. The company must record depreciation in the profit and loss account. It is done so that the cost of an asset can be realised over the years rather than one single year.

    Furniture is an important asset for a business. As per the Income Tax Act, the rate of depreciation for furniture and fittings is 10%. However, for accounting purposes, the company is free to set its own rate.

    JOURNAL ENTRY

    Journal entry for depreciation of furniture is:

    Here, depreciation is debited since it is an expense and as per the rules of accounting, “increase in expenses are debited”. Furniture is credited because a “ decrease in assets is credited”, and the value of furniture is reducing.

    TYPES OF DEPRECIATION

    Furniture can be depreciated in any of the following ways:

    • Straight-Line Method – It is calculated by finding the difference between the cost of the asset and its expected salvage value, and the result is divided by the number of years the asset is expected to be used.
    • Diminishing Value Method – It is calculated by charging a fixed percentage on the book value of the asset. Since the book value keeps on reducing, it is called the diminishing value method.
    • Units of Production

    For accounting purposes, the two many methods used for depreciating furniture is the straight-line method and the diminishing value method. However, for tax purposes, they are combined into a block of furniture, where the purchase of new furniture is added and the sale of furniture is subtracted and the resulting amount is depreciated by 10% based on the written downvalue method.

    EXAMPLE

    If a company buys furniture worth Rs 30,000 and charges depreciation of 10%, then by straight-line method, Rs 3,000 would be depreciated every year for 10 years.

    Now if the company decided to use the diminishing value method (or written down value method), then Rs 3,000 (30,000 x 10%) would be depreciated in the first year, and in the second year, the book value of the furniture would be Rs 27,000 (30,000-3,000). Hence depreciation for the second year would be Rs 2,700 (27,000 x 10%) and so on.

    Interest on drawings

    Drawings refer to the money withdrawn by owners/partners for personal use from the business. The drawings, in accounting terms, can be of any type. It can be cash withdrawn from business or furniture or car etc. Drawings are money or assets that are withdrawn from a company by its owners for personal use and must be recorded as a reduction of assets. It’s paid back to the business with some interest.

    Interest on drawings is an income for the business and reduces the capital of the owner. Interest on drawings is the amount of interest paid by the partners, calculated concerning the period for which the money was withdrawn.

    • It’s an income for the business. Hence, credited to P&L Appropriation A/c.
    • It’s an expense for the owner/partner. Therefore, debited to owner’s/partner’s capital a/c
    • Interest on drawings is charged to the partners only when there is an agreement made among the partners in this regard or if it is mentioned in the Partnership Deed.

    Formulae for Interest on drawings

    There are three formulae used for calculating the interest on drawings. They are:

    1. Simple Method: In this method, as the name suggests, the amount of interest on drawings is calculated simply for the time the amount has been utilized.

    Interest on Drawings = Amount of drawings × Rate/100 × No. of Months/12 

    2. Product Method: This method is used when-

    • Drawings are made of unequal amounts at irregular intervals of time. Then this formula is used-

    Interest on Drawings = Total of Products × Rate/100 × 1/12

    • When drawings are made of equal amounts at regular/equal intervals of time. Then interest on drawings can be calculated on the total of the amount drawn, for the average of the period applicable to the first and last installment.

    Interest on Drawings= Total amount of drawings × Rate/ 100 × Average Period/12

    Also, note-

    Average Period = (No. of months left after first drawings+ No. of months left after last drawings)/2

    Example:

    Harish withdrew equal amounts at the beginning of every month for 9 months. Total drawings amounted to ₹6,000. Calculate the interest on drawings charged if the rate was 6% p.a.

    Solution:

    Average period = (No. of months left after first drawings+ No. of months left after last drawings)/2 = (9+1)/2 = 5 months 

    Interest on Drawings = Total of drawings × Rate/100 × 5/12

                                            = ₹ 6,000 × 6/100 × 5/12
                                            = ₹ 150.

    Subsidiary Books

    Introduction & Definition

    In large business organizations, it is practically impossible to keep a record of every single business affair, while neglecting them and not recording them wouldn’t be an ideal choice, this is where subsidiary books come into the role. As we were introduced to the basics of accounting in the 11th standard, we learned about different elements like journals, ledgers, trial balances, etc. It is practically impossible for a business to keep track of every single affair just through only those elements. Thus, the Subsidiary book is the next step here.

    Subsidiary books are the books of original entry. They are a dedicated form of books that maintains an analysis of a specific account. It records financial transactions of a similar nature. They are sub-division of a journal.

    In big business organizations, it’s very hard for a bookkeeper or accountant to record all the transactions in one journal and post them into various accounts.  This is where special purpose books or subsidiary books may be required for more efficient bookkeeping. They are a subdivision of journals and for every type of transaction, there is a separate book.

     

    Types of Subsidiary Books

    There are eight types of subsidiary books that are required for recording transactions. The list of various subsidiary books is as follows:

    1. Cash Book
    2. Purchase Book
    3. Sales Book
    4. Purchase Return Book
    5. Sales Return Book
    6. Journal Proper
    7. Bills Receivable Book
    8. Bills Payable Book

     

    Types of Subsidiary Books

    Now, we’ll be taking a closer look at each and every subsidiary book.

     

    Cash Book

     The cash book is the most important subsidiary book, it’s a book of a prime entry recording all the cash spent or received by the business, either in cash form or from the bank. In simple words, recording all the transactions made by the business.

    It is of three types i.e single-column cash book, double-column cash book, and triple-column cash book. As the name indicates, the column of cash, bank, and discount increases/decreases as per the column of the cash book stated.

    Format 

     

    Note: this is a triple-column cash book format, for the double-column cash book format, we remove the discount column from both sides, and for the single column, we may remove the bank column as well.

    Purchase Book

    A purchase book is a subsidiary book that records all the transactions related to the credit purchase in a business. Thereby, the normal purchasing of assets is never recorded in the purchase book.

    The credit purchases are directly recorded in the purchase book from the journals or the source documents. The source document indicates bills payable, invoices, etc.

    Format

     

    Sales Book

    A sales book, similar to a purchase book, is a special book where all the credit sales are recorded. The sales book doesn’t record the transactions related to the normal sale of assets and hence, is a special type of book, just like the purchase book.

    Format

     

    Purchase Return Book

    The purchase return book, also known as the return outwards book, is that book that records the goods that were returned by us to the supplier. Thereby, called purchase return book.

    When the goods are returned, a debit note is issued against every return and hence, recorded in the purchase return book.

    Format

     

     

    Sales Return Book

    The sales return book, also known as the return inwards book, refers to that subsidiary book that records the goods which were returned to us by the customer.

    For every good returned to us, a credit note is issued to the customer. And thus, it is recorded in the sales return book.

    Journal Proper

    Just like we recently learned in class 11th about what a journal entry is and how it is made, it’s a little different from the journal proper. Journal proper is a subsidiary book that records all the transactions which are not recorded in other subsidiary books.

    A journal is an original book of entries that records all the business transactions, while a journal proper is a subsidiary book in which all types of miscellaneous credit business transactions are recorded that do not fit anywhere in the other subsidiary books. Its format is the same as the journal entries’ format. Therefore, it’s also known as a miscellaneous journal.

     Bills Receivable Book

    The bills receivable book is the book that draws the bills favorable to the business i.e when the goods or services are provided to any customer on credit, they become a debtor, and bills receivable is a written note received from the customer indicating that they formally agree to pay the sum of money owed.

    Therefore, it helps in recording these types of transactions. The sum total of the bills receivable book is posted to the bills receivable account.

    Bills Payable Book

    The bills payable book is the subsidiary book that records all the bills that are drawn on the company. The bills payable is drawn on the company when we buy a good/service on credit and agrees to pay the amount to the supplier by signing a written note with the date we agree to pay.

    It’s a liability of the business and the total of the bills payable book is posted on the credit side of the bills payable account.
