Consumers' Accounting In The Smaller Utility, W. G. Murfit, American Gas Association
Consumers' Accounting In The Smaller Utility, W. G. Murfit, American Gas Association
Individual and Corporate Publications
Now, in order to follow more closely my subject, Consumers' Accounting in the Smaller Utility, let me first explain what is meant by the smaller utility. The Consumers' Accounting Committee issued to company members several months ago a questionnaire regarding their accounting systems. It was evident from the answers received that the most headway would be gained by separating the companies into two classes, the large ones and the small ones, as, for obvious reasons, the accounting system in the large ones differs materially from that in the small ones. The line of demarcation was arbitrarily set at five thousand …
What The Banker Expects From The Accountant, John N. Eaton
What The Banker Expects From The Accountant, John N. Eaton
Individual and Corporate Publications
What does a banker expect an audited statement to show? He expects that it will set forth a correct picture of all the assets and ail the liabilities of the company. And he expects that these various assets and liabilities will be classified and described with sufficient detail and exactness to enable him to form a satisfactory estimate of their value as a basis for granting credit.
Perpetual Inventory Or Stores Control, Chamber Of Commerce Of The United States Of America. Fabricated Production Department, E. W. Mccullough
Perpetual Inventory Or Stores Control, Chamber Of Commerce Of The United States Of America. Fabricated Production Department, E. W. Mccullough
Individual and Corporate Publications
Executives are insistent that stores control shall be centered on the principal facts and not lose itself among non-essentials. Thus, one large company charges off when purchased items such as nuts, bolts and screws which in that particular establishment are very minor items of supply. An item which costs ten cents or over is charged when requisitioned. However, even in items of less value than ten cents, adequate record of the quantity on hand is maintained. In accordance with the foregoing, that which will be presented here will be a simple rather than an elaborate stores system.
Controlling Elements In Rate Making Especially The Value Of Service, Lewis E. Gettle
Controlling Elements In Rate Making Especially The Value Of Service, Lewis E. Gettle
Individual and Corporate Publications
To discuss all of the controlling elements in rate making would be entirely beyond the scope of this paper. Many of these elements have been the subject of a voluminous and exhaustive literature with which most of you are probably familiar. The cost of service doctrine, with the determination of value, the analysis and apportionment of expenses and the more or less involved assignment of costs which its application entails has been so fully discussed that there is little that I can add within the limits of this paper. It has seemed to me, however, that it might be worth …
Accounting Simplified, G. W. Greenwood
Accounting Simplified, G. W. Greenwood
Individual and Corporate Publications
The object of this series of articles is to outline a method of accounting which gives to the management all information required concerning the business, but without wasting time, money and effort in collecting information which is not desired and which may not be used; and at the same time to furnish the required information by methods simpler, clearer and with less expenditure of time and money than are involved in the system of bookkeeping which they may be using at the present time.
Analytical Balance Sheets For Industrials, C. E. Woods
Analytical Balance Sheets For Industrials, C. E. Woods
Individual and Corporate Publications
From a financial point of view, investment; its use, control and returns, are the chief objects in every manufacturing business, and all activity should be with this clearly in mind. Looked at in fact, there are just three things, primarily, that tie money up in a manufacturing business, viz: Plant Inventory Accounts Receivable. Plant investment is fixed, or permanent; Inventory and Accounts Receivable are flexible and in these two latter lies the danger to successful administration, unless it is governed by a policy that will keep them well within the confines of the capital employed or available. It is this …

Scientific Allowance And Cost System For Upper Leather Cutting In Shoe Factories, W. W. Russ

Second to put before the world so clearly, that any student of ordinary ability, whether a cutter or not, can understand our System of Allowances. The system described has been thoroughly tested and found to be as accurate as practical use will allow.

Office Record And Control For Insurance Agents And Brokers, American System Company
Office Record And Control For Insurance Agents And Brokers, American System Company
Individual and Corporate Publications
Insurance Agents and Brokers, whose lasting success is best measured by the thoroughness with which their trade and profession functions, apparently need a more orderly process of accounting and record keeping. The hit-and-miss methods of finances and the resultant cost and worry, a continual search and confusion of records, and an unnecessary waste of clerical time are conditions from which business typical of an Insurance Office greatly suffer. There are two contending factors in the business, one underwriting, the other record keeping, with each dependent upon the other. Underwriting, through its attended field of technical supervision, has reached at least …
Classification And Definitions Of Ledger Accounts, Boston Chamber Of Commerce. Bureau Of Commercial And Industrial Affairs. Committee On Industrial Accounting And Executive Reports
Classification And Definitions Of Ledger Accounts, Boston Chamber Of Commerce. Bureau Of Commercial And Industrial Affairs. Committee On Industrial Accounting And Executive Reports
Individual and Corporate Publications
The classification of ledger accounts appearing on the following pages is not intended to fit the accounts of any one particular firm, or, in fact, of any one industry. It is at best only a broad treatment of representative accounts used in manufacturing industries. Likewise, the definitions are not intended to apply specifically to accounts found in any one ledger, but are intended to point out the particular group in which any account would fall. In using this classification, it should be remembered that the individual accounts will have to be set up according to the needs of each different …

Financial Statements, An Explanation In Brief Of A System For Their Analysis From The Standpoint Of The Credit Grantor And The Business Executive, Robert Morris Associates
Financial Statements, An Explanation In Brief Of A System For Their Analysis From The Standpoint Of The Credit Grantor And The Business Executive, Robert Morris Associates
Individual and Corporate Publications
Financial statements are called for by banks in order to get a survey of the financial condition of the risk. Under even the closest and most careful analysis the study of any statement cannot cover the whole risk because there are other elements quite as important as the financial element which in many instances would entirely offset a poor or good financial showing. The elements in analysing a risk can be generally divided into three types. One element in a risk is the financial strength displayed. A second element is the so-called moral risk. The final element is the economic …
Classification Of Accounts For Sugar Estates, Charles E. Wermuth
Classification Of Accounts For Sugar Estates, Charles E. Wermuth
Individual and Corporate Publications
The relative efficiency and economy of the management of an industry can be measured only by comparison of one plant with another, and for that purpose an intelligent and uniform classification of expenses is essential. The object of this pamphlet is to secure uniformity of practice among sugar estates, thereby making a correct comparison of their operations possible. This classification has been in use since 1904, having been revised from time to time with the assistance of managers of sugar estates with many years' experience in all branches of the industry. It has again been revised and adjusted to present …
