The executives can really choose whether they should keep on delivering these five items dependent on their development throughout some undefined time frame. Let say Product A as this item is consistently making loss since 2009, it got simpler for the management to choose whether they should produce product A or they ought to dispense with this item. Moreover, they can rank the product dependent on their profit. For instance, Product B is the most beneficial item. METHODS OF DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNTING. There are two methods of keeping Departmental Accounts − • Separate Set of Books for each department • Accounting in Columnar Books form Separate Set of Books for each Department Under this method for accounting, every department is treated as a different unit and separate arrangement of books are kept up for every unit. Financial results of every unit are joined toward the end of accounting year to know the general results of the store. Because of high expense, this method of accounting is followed simply by large business houses or where to do so is mandatory according to the law. Insurance business is perhaps the best example, where to follow this system is mandatory.

UNIT-5 DEPARTMENTAL ACCOUNTING – II Structure Learning Objective Introduction Basis of Allocation for Common Expenditure among different departments Inter-department transfers Summary Key words Learning Activity Unit -End Questions References LEARNING OBJECTIVE After studying this unit, you will be able to: • State the basis of allocation for common expenditure among different departments • Describe Inter Department transfer INTRODUCTION Departmental Accounting is essentially keeping the different book of records of the individual department. In the event that a business comprises of a few independent activities or divided into different departments for doing its functions, its management is generally keen on discovering the working results of every department to find out their relative efficiencies. This can be made possible just if departmental records are prepared. Departmental records are of incredible assistance and help to the management as the data for controlling the business all the more insightfully and viably. BASIS OF ALLOCATION FOR COMMON EXPENDITURE AMONG DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS Ordinarily, all direct expenses are charged to the individual department, in case of indirect or general expenses, proper allocation among the departments must be made in order to ascertain the profit and loss made by each department Every office is accused of legitimate operational expense. If the basis for such allocation is not specially mentioned, then the following procedure may be followed. 55 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
Figure 5.1 Basis of Allocation for Common Expenditure Among Different Departments A few costs can't be allotted and no premise of apportionment is practicable. For instance, interest on Loan, Income Tax, Salary to General Manager, Share Transfer expenses, Bank charges, Audit fees and so on. Here these expenses can securely be transferred to General Profit and Loss Account. Also, income of general nature such as Interest on Calls-in-arrears, Interest on Investment, fees on share transfer etc. credited to General Profit and Loss Account. The Departmental Trading Account shows the Gross Profit or Loss and Departmental Profit and Loss Account shows the Net Profit or Loss acquired or endured by every department. Illustration 1: The owner of a large retail store desired to ascertain approximately the net profit of the X, Y and Z departments separately for the three months ended 31st March 2019. It is found impracticable actually to take stock on that date, but an adequate system of departmental accounting is in use, and the normal rates of gross profit for the three departments concerned 56 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
are respectively 40%, 30% and 20% on turnover before charging the direct expenses. The indirect expenses are charged in proportion to departmental turnover. The following are the figures for the departments: The total indirect expenses for the period (including those relating to other departments) were Rs. 5,400 on the total turnover of Rs. 1, 08,000. Prepare a statement showing the approximate net profit, making a stock reserve of 10% for each department on the estimated value on 31- 3-2019 Illustration 2: From the following particulars you are required to prepare Trading and Profit and Loss Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2005, showing the gross and net profits of each department.

Illustration 3: Department C – 2,496 units @ Rs 25 each. The rate of Gross Profit is the same in each case. Prepare Departmental Trading Account. Solution: 59 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
INTER-DEPARTMENT TRANSFERS Products are regularly supplied starting with one Department then onto the next – Inter- Departmental exchange. Such transfer must be credited to Supplying Department and charged to Receiving Department. On the off chance that the transfers are made at cost price, at that point it tends to be treated as mere transfer. No further change is required. 60 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
However, on the off chance that the transfer of products are made at selling price, at that point a profit is acquired by the supplying department of a same organisation. At the point when the goods, transferred from one department to another, still stay unsold with the transferee department, toward the end of the accounting, there emerges a need to eliminate the unrealised profit on such stock on hand. This is because, so much of issuing department’s profit (notional) remain unrealised from the viewpoint of the firm as a whole. The reserve will be equal to the profit included in respect of unsold goods at the end of closing. The entry is: General Profit and Loss Account Dr. To Stock Reserve In certain cases, the transferee department may have some stock in the beginning of the accounting period, against which stock reserve was already created in the previous year, will also be transferred to General Profit and Loss Account by means of Journal entry: Stock Reserve Account Dr. To General Profit and Loss Account Alternatively, a single journal entry can be passed for the unrealised profit on the basis of the difference between unrealised profit included in opening and closing stock. Illustration 1: A firm has two departments — Piece goods and readymade dresses. All goods purchased by the readymade department from Piece goods department are charged at the usual selling price. From the following particulars prepare departmental trading and profit and loss accounts for the year ended Dec. 31, 2005: 61 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
The stocks in the readymade department are considered as consisting of 75% cloth supplied from Piece goods dept. and 25% expenses and cloths from outside. The Piece goods department earned gross profit in 2004 at the same rate as in 2005. General expenses of the business as a whole in 2005 amounted to Rs 45,000. Solution: Illustration 2: From the following balances extracted from the books of a firm, prepare Departmental Trading and General Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31st December 2005 and a Balance Sheet as on that date after adjusting the unrealised departmental profits, if any. 62 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)

ARs 9,000 at cost to Dept. B. 3. Sales Dept. A includes transfer of goods to Dept. B of the value of Rs 20,000 and sales of Dept. B includes transfer of goods to Dept. A of the value of Rs 30,000 both at market price to transferor departments. 4. Opening stock of Dept. A and Dept. B includes goods to the value of Rs 1,000 and Rs 1,500 taken from Dept. B and Dept. A respectively at cost price to transferor departments. 5. Depreciate land and buildings by 5% and furniture by 10% p.a. Solution: 63 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
N.B. There is no need for any adjustment for opening stock which includes inter- departmental transfers. This is because goods have been valued at cost to the transferor department and not to transferee departments. 64 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
Illustration 3: A company has two departments viz. Piece goods and Tailoring.

Solution: Calculation of Provision for Unrealised Profit: The composition of the Closing Stock of Tailoring Department is not given The Tailoring Department possesses stock of Rs 14,000. There is no doubt that the stock consists of goods from Piece goods and Outside It can be assumed that the stock consist of both types of goods i.e. from Piece goods and Outside in the ratio of their purchases.

UNIT-7 ROYALTY ACCOUNTS Structure Learning Objective Introduction Terms used in Royalty agreements distinction between rent and royalty accounting entries in the books of lessee Stoppage of work due Summary Key words Learning Activity Unit -End Questions References LEARNING OBJECTIVE After studying this unit, you will be able to: • Explain royalty account • List distinction between rent and royalty • Describe terms used in royalty agreements INTRODUCTION Royalty is payable by a client to the proprietor of the property or something on which a proprietor has some unique rights. A royalty arrangement is set up between the proprietor and the client of such property or rights. In the event that instalment is made to buy the privilege or property that will be treated as capital expenditure rather than a Royalty. Installment made by the tenant on account of a royalty is normal business expenditure and will be debited to the Royalty account. It is a nominal account and toward the end of the accounting period, balance of Royalty account should be transferred to the normal Trading and Profit and Loss account. Royalty, in light of the creation or yield, will carefully go to the Manufacturing or Production account. On the off chance that, where the Royalty is payable at a sale basis, it will be essential for the selling costs. TERMS USED IN ROYALTY AGREEMENTS Minimum Rent 98 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
As mention, the lessor goes into a contact or an agreement with the lessee for the instalment or payment of royalty. This royalty is resolute on the basis of number of goods produced or quantum of goods sold. Presently, there can be situations when the quantity of goods produced or sold are invalid or moderately low. In such a case, the lessor would get no or little royalty legitimately affecting lessor's royalty income. As such, when there is no or little production or sale, the lessor would be at a loss since no or production or sale would be gotten from the lessee. This is notwithstanding lessee using the asset. To dispose of such a circumstance, the lessor requires a base measure of payment to be paid by the lessee regardless of the quantity of goods produced or sold by the lessee. That is, lessee is needed to pay least minimum to the lessor. This is in spite of the way that the actual royalty amount, which is determined dependent on the things produced or sold, is less than the minimum rent to be paid. Such a guaranteed minimum amount so received by the lessor is called the minimum rent. Minimum rent is fixed at the time when the lessor enters into an agreement with the lessee. It is a term included in the contract in the interest of the landlord as it assures minimum rent even in cases of lower sales or output. Therefore, the lessee pays minimum rent or the actual royalty amount, whichever is higher. Example For example, say the output produced by Mine X is 8,000 tons. The royalty to be paid by the lessee is Rs 200 per ton and the minimum rent in the agreement is Rs 10 Lakhs. As per production, the actual royalty amount to be paid comes at Rs 8 Lakhs. Since the actual royalty amount is less than the minimum rent, the lessee is required to pay minimum rent of Rs 10 Lakhs to the Lessor. Short Workings or Redeemable Dead Rent Short Workings is only the sum by which the minimum rent is more than the actual royalty. All in all, short workings are the distinction between minimum rent and actual royalty. 99 CU IDOL SELF LEARNING MATERIAL (SLM)
