Cash transactions

Certainly the collection of data will be harder than it is with commercial activities. Unlike cash transactions, bargains struck in the mind are not a matter of record. Sometimes an interest will require a transaction to be unavailable to memory. For instance, a short-term interest may be able to prevail by disguising the fact that a particular transaction violates a private rule. Whether or not this occurs in the way Freud described (see Ainslie 1982), it renders the subject unable to report the transaction to the observer. 

The Bank Secrecy Act of 1970, despite its name, acmally requires that banks keep detailed records of any transaction(s) by an individual or organization totaling more than 10,000 in cash (i.e., does not include checks nor money orders) in a single day in order to make money laundering more evident. A later anti-struemring provision also makes it illegal to make smaller cash transactions (such as 9,999) in an attempt to evade the law. 

The cash flow statement, also called the consolidated statement of cash flow or statement of consolidated cash flow is a summary of the cash flow of a company over a given period of time. The cashflow equals cash receipts minus cash payments over a given period of time or equivalently, net profit plus amounts charged off for depreciation, depletion, and amortization. These latter three items are added back because they do not represent any cash transactions. Depletion, which is similar to depreciation, accounts for the exhaustion of natural resources such as oil, timber, and minerals. The cash flow statement is a measure of a company s financial health and, in recent years, has become a very important feature of the annual report. 

Figure 9.2 shows that cash transactions were made periodically. The values given represent payments made at the end of the year. Figure 9.2 shows that 1000, 1200, and 1500 were received at Ae end of the first, second, and third year, respectively. In the fifth and seventh year, 2000 and 2C were paid out. There were no transactions in the fourth and sixth years. 

Problems are often encountered involving a series of uniform cash transactions, each of value A taking place at the end of each year for n consecutive years. This pattern is called an annuity, and the discrete CFD for an annuity is shown in Figure 9.3.

ASHLAND recently announced it has completed its acquisition of privately owned International Specialty Products Inc. (ISP), a global specialty chemical manufacturer of innovative functional ingredients and technologies. The purchase was an all-cash transaction for 3.2 billion, subject to post-closing adjustments for changes in net working capital and certain other items. 

Transactions that change the character of the net working capital but do not affect its value occur in a company. For example, a cash payment of 10,000 for accounts payable reduces both the current asset of cash by 10,000 and the current liabihty of accounts payable by 10,000, leaving the net working capital unchanged. However, this transac tion affects Doth the current and the quick ratios. 

Most futures contracts assume that actual delivery of the commodity can take place to fulfill the contract. However, some futures contracts require cash settlement instead of deliveiy. Futures contracts can be terminated by an offsetting transaction (i.e., an equal and opposite transaction to the one that opened the position) executed at any time prior to the contract s expiration. The vast majority of futures contracts are terminated by offset or a final cash payment rather than by physical delivery.

The actions in a collaboration do not observe the same invariants as the actions they refine. For example, when we look at a transaction between a shop and a customer at abstraction sufficient to see purchases, we believe in the invariant that the amount in the vendor s till plus the value of the stock should always add up to the same amount Every sale simply swaps some stock for some money. But when we look in more detail, we can see that the money is transferred separately from the goods, so there are periods between payment and delivery when the invariant is not observed. Nevertheless, this layer still has its own invariants—for example, that the total of the vendor s and the customer s cash is always the same. 

Consider the transaction of obtaining cash between a customer and an ATM. It has a clear postcondition, is often mentioned in everyday life, and can usefully be discussed between ATM designers and banks. The detail of how it happens—log in, select a service, and so on—can be deferred to design and may vary across designs. 

Continuous Compound Interest In some companies, namely petroleum, petrochemical, and chemical companies, money transactions occur hourly or daily, or essentially continuously. The receipts from sales and services are invested immediately upon receipt. The interest on this cash flow is continuously compounded. To use continuous compounding when evaluating projects or investments, one assumes that cash flows continuously.

Sources of finance for company acquisitions as mentioned above can be from reserves or maybe taken a senior or subordinated debt. Alternatively a bond may be issued with various characteristics offering an annuity, a balloon payment or a combination of the two. A variety of convertible structures have been utilized for this purpose as asset sales and the use of the target s balance sheet. There has also been a place for royalty transactions where the future-value of product cash flows are securitized to provide capital in the near term to achieve a company acquisition.

Since accounting records must always show a balance between assets and equities, any single transaction must affect both assets and equities. Each debit entry, therefore, requires an equal and offsetting credit entry. For example, if a company purchased a piece of equipment by a cash payment, the assets of the company would be increased by the value of the equipment. This represents an addition to the account, and would therefore, be listed as a debit. However, the company had to pay out cash to obtain the equipment. This payment must be recorded as a credit entry, since it represents a deduction from the account. At least one debit entry and one credit entry must be made for each business...

In the first case, the annual taxable income is reduced by an annual depreciation charge or allowance which has the effect of reducing the annual amount of tax payable. The annual depreciation charge is merely a book transaction and does not involve any ejq)enditure of cash. The method of determining the annual depreciation charge must be agreed to by the appropriate tax authority. 

Analyzing entails examining business transactions that involve basic ongoing activities, such as investing personal cash or equipment into the business, purchasing supplies with cash or credit, and the like. 

An entrepreneur who becomes the owner initially creates a firm with a personal investment. Then, the new firm purchases and sells assets, collects receivables, pays liabilities, and conducts many other business activities called transactions. Each transaction must be evidenced with a business document. For example, a business entity that purchases office furniture costing 500 by paying 200 in cash and the balance of 300 on credit should provide the accountant with a purchase invoice verifying the price and quantity, a check stub of the owner s checkbook or a receipt for a cash payment, and a bill that the balance of 300 is due in 30 days (an accounts payable). These documents evidence accounting information used by accountants and are available for current and future review by independent certified public accountants. 

Many other types of transactions occur after analyzing the accormting equation and classifying different account titles, such as cash, account receivables, account payables, and capital. It is necessary to record the transactions in various journals.
