* Administration manages the outside contacts and the facility as a whole. Management is closer to the employees.
* Administration is over the management and more over the money of the organization and licensing of an organization.
* Management manages employees. As a manger, you can also be administrator but as an administrator, you may not be a manager.

Capital Profits of a company are not available for distribution as dividend etc. to shareholders either Ordinary or Preferred Shareholders. I think the capital profits are not available to any of the above, This profit is available for company itself. For example: Share premium is a capital profit, it can be utilized for wirring of preliminary expenses, commission/discounts on issuance of shares, and bonus shares.
I need your further guidance in this regard |

Dear Danish
You explained the capital reserve in god way but you did not mention the capital profit (Capital Reserves) arising from the purchase of subsidiary at lesser amount.
For instantce Comapany A purchased 60% shares of Company B (60,000 thousands shares out of 100,000 shares @ 10 each ) at a cost of 500,000/- . The capital reserve or capital Profit of Comapany A will be
Paid Up value of Shares========== Rs 600.000
(60,000x10)
Amount Paid by Company A =======Rs 500,000
Capital Reserve =============== Rs 100,000/-
This capital profit shall only be available to the equity shareholders for issuing them right share or for any other purpose,alowed by Law.

Dear All.
My question is to differentiate provision and reserve. Or Both are same? Capital reserves and revenue reserves are afterall reserves and not provision. |

There is difference between provisions and reserves. Provisions are created for expected future expenses,loses or any other item chargeable to profit and loss account(Except Provision for tax)
Reserves are the part of owners or share holders equity. Reserves are created for for contigencies and un foreseen unfavourable circumstances (General Reserve & Contigencies Reserve. Some reserves are purely Capital nature for instance Share premium & capital reserve.
Capital Reserves:
Share Premum
Capital Reserve
(Capital Profits
Revenue Reserves:
Undistributed Profits or Credit balance of profit and loss account
General Reserves
Contigency Reserve
Funds:
Some people also mix the concept of funds with reserves.
There is a big difference between funds and reserves. The funds represent the amount of cash keeps in reserve for a certain
purpose(s) but reserve does not show the cash amount reserve is only show accrual rather than cash
Example:
Workers welfare Fund
Endowment Fund
(Ussualy created in Educational and charitable institutions |

D. All of the above. (joint venture, consignments and contracts)
The reason behind it is that, the activity is definite and has clear ending/finishing date. |

Maani/Awais,
I appreciate maani's reply to your post. However, if production capacity is taken as a limitation factor keeping in view abundance of demand which always exceeds the supply/production, then how would we come to make the sales budget first of all?
Please throw light.
I feel one should conclude the limiting factor and start preparing budget with that perspective.
Regards,
KAMRAN. |

Kamran Bhayee
Usually the sales is taken as "Principle Budget Factor" rather than plant capacity. Here the management accountants assume that the Expected Sale cannot be so abnormal and the expected sales can be produced keeping fixed overhead almost constant.
Furthermore to streamline budgeting process all budgets should be prepared in sequential manner. First sales budget in prepared and then the required production determined after taking in consideration the inventories of work in progress and finished goods and after which production budget is prepared.

Awais

Hi kamran bhai / awais
sales volume cannot be taken as a principal budget factor if production capacity is limited for a given period, in this case the principal budget factor will be your limited production capacity....and here production budget must be prepared first and then all other budgets will be linked to this....
in case production capacity is limited, production can be budgeted in a way that excess product is produced in the periods of lower demand, this excess stock will used to cater the periods in which demand is expected to be higher....other alternatives may be used....

Manni Bhayee
Infract the plant capacity can also be taken as Principle Budget Factor or limiting factor if the production cannot be increased beyond a certain limit in near future and the expected sale is much more than the production capacity. There are certain other factors which can be considered as limiting factor for instance availability of raw material etc. But in general speaking sales budget is prepared first and budgeted sales considered as principle budget factor as you have mentioned in replying my question.
Here the question of increasing production capacity can also be raised. If a business wants to increase production capacity then it has certain alternatives for instance number of shifts can be increased or additional plant and machinery can be installed but in many cases if the production capacity needed to be increased then the Fixed overhead do not remain constant. It also makes more difficult the whole budgetary process.

Awais

Awais/Maani,
In practical terms, one has to assess the limitation factors first of all whenever preparing such budgets or forecasts etc.
In all decision making processes it is vital. If some one comes to you and ask he wants to start a business, your first question would be how much investment you plan. When he tells you, you will ask which sector you prefer.....and then so on. You have to identify the limitation factor and then proceed within its boundries. One cannot ignore or bypass this vital factor merely for the reason that a particular book has mentioned something weird.
While preparing zero-based budget this gets more and more importance. In incremental budgets one may have certain prejudiced way out to the issue.
Regards,
KAMRAN. |

Dear Kamran, Awais and Maani
I m new and glad to see your academic strength. Due to certian limitation I may not share my understanding in large but definitly will try to update my undertanking from intellectuals like yours. I bit dishearted when I did not receive any comment from any member on my query dt 25-02-09 read as follows.
A private ltd company took over the business on "as is and where is basis " of a Firm through an agreement. Firm owns immoveable assets which are equitabley mortgaged with bank against outstanding fund / non fund based facilities. Comapany approached the bank to change the title of borrower i.e Firm to Company. Bank is of the opinion that till the change of title deed of the property, it is impossible and It is not easy to release property documents in the presence of outstanding balance and firm has to clear its dues first. Then bank will release property documents and It take at least 15-20 days to get altered the title of property from "Patwari etc ".
My questions are:
1- what are the ways company can proceed further to achieve its goal within shortest period and without clearing outstanding balance of the bank ?
2- Can company operate L/C using non fund based facilities enjoyed by the firm? If yes then how?
3- What is Cross counter Guarantee and how is it excercised?
4- What are the convincing arguements for bank?
Keeping in view that Directors of the company were the partners of the firm. pl quote and guide with practical approach.
I could not understand the reason why professionals like Mr. Kamran did not guided me. Till now, I m looking forward even to order me to delete.
As far as concept of sharing ideas is concerned. I think it is very good and would be better if we share knowledge on ISA'S one by one & Sections of CO, ITO etc.
As far as the querry Which Budget is prepared first.
a.Sales Budget b.Cost Budget c.Manufacturing Budget d.Production Budget
In my opinion simple answar is Sales Budget. becoz sales is independent rather that cost and secondly whenever we prepare budget of any item first we see it over all demand then capacity to be installed or installed to meet demand and so on.
Regards to you all.

Dear Kamran,Mani and Wasim
In fact I was discussing the above issue in relation to MCQ's. While answering to MCQ's the most probable and the most applicable answer is selected. If MCQ's come in Cost Accounting paper of ICAp then you cannot write long explanator note or can even write that some other factors can also be used as limiting or principle budget factor. Rather the answer sales budget choosen by you shall be considered only as good.
Regards,
Awais

Awais,
I know what answer has been suggested by writers in their books and I also know the reasoning explained by them. Certainly I am also supposed to know what exam approach should be specially in case of MCQs.
I only explained the situation that what happens in practical terms. It is for the knowledge sharing beyond the very purpose of this thread.
You are practically handling an accounts department. Try ever to make a budget or forecast or projection without defining the limitation factor. You will come to know what my explanation was meant for.
Regards,
KAMRAN.

Dear Kamran,
I was not only addressing you. I am agree with you that budgeting is a difficult process and many problems are faced when one actuall make budgets.I think many of my previous posts I have given full explaination.
I have worked with an audit and accounting consultancy firm and I have remained involved in the process of preparation of budgets for many partner NGO's of an international NGO, which was our client.

| CO 1984 is silent and left it over to the Board of Directors to adopt policy regarding depreciation method and rates. CO required only to disclose policies regarding provisions, changes in policies etc and disclosure of effects due to change in policies. |

If some qustion remains un-answered, it does not mean that others cannot comment on it.
Rather, the nature of such questions suggests that answer should not be given.

| The forum is not a class room where teacher is holding question answer session. What I heard or understand mean to get guidance / recommendation from seniors / Intelectual to minimise ones trouble. As far as my query was concerned that was of utmost practical nature. I did not face such kind of problem during last 20 years of my practical experience. PL... Question remained un-answered does not mean that other cannot comment on it. but it mean for a common man that one does not bother to comment on it........Roothay ho to kaisay manaoon ..... Bolo na..

Danish Ayub
Danish Bhayee Company Ordinance is sielent about the depreciation rate. The Schedule -III of Income Tax Ordinance lays down the rate but the companies usually do not use these rates for the purpose of financial reporting. The companies charge depreciation on taking in consideration the usefull life of assets and in accordance with accounting policies of the company. According to ITO,2001 all types businesses are liable to use diminishing balance method.
The depreciation rates of income tax ordinance are used for filling tax return. A company can use any rate for charging depreciation other than rate specified in 3rd schedule of ITO. Two terminologies are used for depreciation with respect to rate i.e Tax Depreciation and Accounting Depreciation.
