Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Bookkeeping I have been repeatedly urged by those who have used my elementary books on Bookkeeping to write a series of advanced lessons on the same subject, and I have accordingly written this Manual for the use of Students. By Students I do not mean Examination Students exclusively. I have had these in my mind throughout, but not less so those practical Students, who are not content to keep their books in jog-trot fashion, but are willing to give time and thought to inquire into the reasons of the methods employed, and have an Open mind with respect to the constantly recurring question of the possibility of an improvement in those methods. Students of this latter class ought to be a very numerous and a continually increasing body. Official Receivers in Bankruptcy declare with wearisome iteration in how many instances faulty Bookkeeping is the cause of financial disaster, until one is tempted to cry out for a law that no one shall give or take credit who does not keep his books on sound principles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Bookkeeping and Banking From time to time the work has been revised, dates and prices have been changed, and additions have been made, as new condi tions seemed to demand; and evidently the book was never more popular than it is at the present time. But there has been an increasing demand for a text-book, devel oped on similar lines, but a little more difficult, and somewhat more comprehensive, for use in high schools and academies. To meet this want, the following pages have been prepared. The book is not a revision, nor a rewriting of the former work, but is entirely new, designed for more advanced Classes and higher schools. The author has embodied in this treatise the results of an experience of many years, in the counting-room, in the pub lic schools, and in the commercial college. It is not claimed that all the business forms employed by the accountant are to be found in this treatise; but it is claimed that it contains just what every boy and girl ought to know in regard to the science of accounts and the art of recording business transactions, before leaving the public school.

This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Double-Entry Bookkeeping What I claim for the book is that it solves the problem of placing double-entry bookkeeping upon a rational basis; and to the best of my knowledge and belief it presents the first and only solution of that problem. It is one of the strangest things in the history of the arts and sciences that this great system of accounting, which, by reason of its compactness and convenience, has come into almost universal use, should have attained so high a degree of development on the practical side, while on the theoretical side it is and always has been in a state of utter confusion. As a rule, the study of a useful art has a certain value as mental discipline; the art of accounting is the one exception to the rule. Aside from the so-called occult sciences, there is nothing which so tends to bewilder the mind and to dull the faculty of reason as the study of double-entry bookkeeping in the form in which it is customary to present it.

This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Introductive Bookkeeping The book has been changed and improved in minor parts from time to time as occasion seemed to demand, and it is presented to the public with confidence that it will be found thoroughly practical, replete with the best ideas of the day on the subject, and presented in a. Logical and teachable manner. It is the design of this work that the student's mind shall be constantly directed to the matter in hand - that of learning practical bookkeeping - and not become confused by theories that can be of no possible use to him in pursuing the course of study, nor of the least value to him in after life. It has been the aim to avoid unnecessary theorizing, yet to give a competent reason for every step to be taken, in the belief that the pupil, if he have the ability to master the subject under any circum stances, will be able to secure from the explanations, and illustrations given, a thorough knowledge of the science of accounts.

Download or read book Business Book Keeping written by George E. Gay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Business Book-Keeping: A Manual of Modern Methods in Recording Business Transactions; High School Edition, Single and Double Entry Business men conduct their transactions in three ways. Commodities are sold, and services are rendered (1) for immediate payment in cash, (2) for immediate payment by note, and (3) for subsequent payment in cash, note, or some other commodity or service. Transactions of the last sort are said to be on account. Cash includes money in specie and bank notes. Most book-keepers also record checks and bank drafts as cash. A note is a written promise to pay at some specified future time a definite sum of money. An invoice, or bill of goods, is an itemized statement of articles sold, with the date of sale and the price. Assets is the word used in book-keeping to indicate the entire property belonging to a business. Sometimes the word resources is used to denote the same thing. Liabilities are debts, and include all which the business owes, both on account and on notes. Net capital is the amount by which the assets exceed the liabilities. Net insolvency is the amount by which the liabilities exceed the assets. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Modern Bookkeeping His book does not profess to deal exhaustively with the subject of Bookkeeping as an art, attention being concentrated on its spirit, rather than on its form. All systematic bookkeeping is based on a principle, but on one which modern abbreviations necessarily tend to obscure. The book is an attempt to set forth this principle, and to show that, however obscured it may be, yet it exists, and must be thoroughly grasped by anyone who would become proficient in the art. Such forms as are employed are used only to illustrate the text - they are not given as dogmatic instances of how any particular book keeping problem should be solved. The principle is explained and insisted upon, and it is left to the reader, or his teacher, to apply this principle in any desired direction. I have received, and gratefully acknowledge, valuable criticisms and help from Mr. T. G. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Principles of Bookkeeping Classic Reprint written by John Albert Carlill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Bookkeeping Again, as the architect designs his building to fit the shape of his piece of land, so a bookkeeper who understands the principles of his work has not his mind cramped and stunted, and feels at liberty to modify his methods to suit the nature of the business. He has more boldness to judge whether a practice is right or wrong, under the circumstances, instead of simply whether it has been the custom or no. It would seem, therefore, that the principles Should be the first things to be mastered, whereas, in practice, they are frequently the last to be learned. In most Offices, although much of the detail of Bookkeeping is performed by the junior clerks, they do not see how the accounts are finally closed and, though they may be taught to keep the accounts with the customers of.the firm perfectly accurate, they do not learn how the impersonal accounts are treated, so as to Show the benefits accruing to the firm, for the advantage of which the business is solely conducted. Occasionally, persons are found who have kept books for a long period, but having simply followed on with entries similar to those which had been previously made, they have managed to get through their work without fully knowing the why and the Wherefore of it. As we should hardly call a person a musician who could not read music, so we can hardly call a person a bookkeeper who has only learned his work by rote. The consequence is that, if any entries are required of an unusual character, such persons are quite at a loss, and it does not occur to them, or they dare not venture, to make any alteration in their system, even though it may be causing them unnecessary trouble. As an illustration, the Journal in a business having almost world-wide fame, showed a curious specimen of a minor inaccuracy. The entries were correctly written in and posted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Standard Bookkeeping: High School Edition In the first part of this work the different kinds of accounts are fully explained and exemplified. Thus made familiar with the meaning of entries in the various accounts, the pupil is prepared to do the work of the regular sets understandingly and without floundering. The book is carefully graded, and the sets furnish ample material for practice. Six price lists are furnished throughout, to facilitate inde pendent individual work. Not only is a pupil greatly aided in his study by the observation of actual specimens of bookkeeping records, but he is much influenced by all the details of their form. In this book, therefore, script specimens of all kinds are supplied in profusion, and great care has been exercised in making them models of accuracy and neatness in every particular. The work required of the pupil is designed not only to secure a broad and sound knowledge of the theory and art of bookkeeping, but also to encourage the formation of correct business habits. Nothing taught in the book will have to be unlearned later, when the pupil takes up real business life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Everyday Bookkeeping Classic Reprint written by Artemas M. Bogle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Everyday Bookkeeping Everyday bookkeeping presents an easy method of keeping accounts. It was prepared for the instruction of those who may desire to keep some record but who do not find the methods used in commercial bookkeeping suited to their needs. Each kind of account is treated separately, and the treatment is made elementary enough for a child to understand as soon as the matter treated comes within his or her experience. Not only is each topic treated sepa rately, but each treatment is, in the main, independent of the others. This makes it possible to take up the chapters in any order, and those who wish instruction on a particular point can get that without having to study everything up to that point. The book may thus serve as a handbook on the topics treated. There are taken up also those forms of commercial paper, such as notes, checks, and receipts, for which nearly every one has some use. The business statement is also treated. Following this there are a few exercises in which an account is to be written with each item. This gives a review and it also illustrates the principle of double entry bookkeeping. There are also given suggested forms of books with special columns. These are often convenient for accounts of limited range. Special column books are also treated, as they are extensively used in some lines of business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Bookkeeping: Complete Course Illustrating the Journal Method of Closing the Ledger The modern business world demands of its employees economy and efficiency, and the commercial training in our schools, to be successful, must meet this demand of' the business world by texts whose value is educational as well as practical. Such a text the authors have tried to furnish in this volume. Their aim has been an elementary book which shall present a simple, practical study of the basic facts of book keeping in a manner that will command the interest of the pupil and that will impress upon his mind the methods and practices of the office as well as the duties and technical knowledge and vocabulary of the bookkeeper and the accountant. The grading and development of the work, its classification, the terms used, and the forms adopted all have the same aim, the making of an efficient, well-informed bookkeeper. To apply a principle is of far more practical value than the ability to define it, and in this text principles are described and applied by the pupils before they are formally defined for them. This inductive method, characteristic of the entire book, stimulates the pupil to think for himself and to cultivate the self-reliance and independence so univer sally demanded of him. The numerous exercises and illustrations used in the approach to a given subject, and the many and varied reviews and problems, are positive factors in appealing to and developing this independence. As a basis for the elementary work, the authors have adopted the pupil's own knowledge of simple business transactions, - the exchange of values with which he is already familiar in the buying of many of the articles used in the home. Thus the new subject is approached with confidence through well-known operations. A number of sets are arranged for business practice which may be carried out as fully as the instructor desires; for since all of this work is optional, it may be fitted to the needs of the individual class. The business practice may be omitted in any set at the discretion of the instructor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
