Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bookkeeping for Modern Business A Business Transaction is an exchange of values; that is, one value is given in exchange for another. Bookkeeping - Years ago men Who engaged in trade learned that it was unwise to carry on business Without keeping written records of their business transactions. They found it was necessary to keep written records in order that they could tell, from time to time, the amounts of cash received and paid out; the value of the goods purchased and sold; What persons owed the business for goods sold them on credit, and how much; What persons the business owed for goods purchased on credit, and how much; the amount of cash paid out for rent, coal, help, etc. From these written records the owner of the business could determine what the business owned and what the business owed, and whether the business was being run at a profit or a loss. The process of keeping such records is called bookkeeping. Bookkeeping consists in recording business transactions in a systematic manner so that the results of the various kinds of business transactions may, at any time, be easily determined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bookkeeping for Modern Business: Advanced Course The same general plan which characterizes the elementary course has been followed in the advanced course. Each new principle is presented in the same clear and concise manner, using, when possible, the ledger account as the basis of all explanation, and thereby illustrating clearly the theory of debit and credit. Some of the more important subjects included here, and not ordinarily illustrated or discussed in texts of this kind are: construction of accounts; classification of accounts; valuation accounts; reserve accounts; divisional profit and loss accounts; controlling accounts; contingent liability; renewal of notes; partial payment of notes; protested notes; goodwill; columnar books; subsidiary ledgers both in bound and loose-leaf form; working form for closing the ledger; turnover; turnover of stock; ten column working sheet; calculation of percentages; graphical methods of presenting facts; comparative profit and loss statements; comparative balance sheets; schedules; exhibits, etc. These subjects are in harmony with modern bookkeeping and in conformity with sound theory and general practice. Then, as a means of providing necessary drill in bookkeeping technique and routine, the accounts and books of original entry are introduced. The papers, forms, and records peculiar to one special line of business are used until the student has become thor oughly familiar with them. In this way the student is permitted to devote all his time to the more practical phases of bookkeeping. An effort has been made throughout to use the most modern types of classification of accounts and financial statements, and the method of closing the ledger which has the approval of business men and accountants. In presenting each subject, the approach has been made so simple and obvious that the student has little difficulty in preparing his work in a clear and concise manner. The treatment of columnar books, for example, illustrates and explains the columnar books so clearly that the student has little difficulty in applying the theory of debit and credit to each special column.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from 20th Century Bookkeeping and Accounting: A Treatise on Modern Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Business Customs, as Illustrated in the "Business Transactions" Which Accompany This Text The successful business man should know that a profit will result from the transactions in connection with his business before they are completed. To deter mine this he should have such information as will show the detailed operating cost, ' the profit from trading or other Operations, the net profit for each fiscal period, its source, and the increase or decrease over previous periods. A report concerning the failure or suspension of a business, accompanied with the statement that the creditors will not know what percentage of their claim may be collected until the experts have audited the books, indicates that the manage ment did not have all the facts available in connection with the business. Such a statement is so common in the newspaper announcement of failures that it sug gests a connection between accounting and success. If these conditions are to be improved, it is necessary to teach the correct principles of accounting and the best practice in applying them. The bookkeeping student of to-day is the bookkeeper or business man of to-morrow. If he has a knowledge of the correct principles, as bookkeeper, he will apply them, or, as manager, he will see that they are applied by the bookkeeper. The purpose of this text is to present the correct principles of bookkeeping and accounting, - principles advocated and practiced by modern bookkeepers and accountants. The information upon which it is based was obtained from standard authorities on accounting and from consultations with practicing book keepers and accountants. The text is prepared primarily for the student and not for the practicing book keeper or accountant. The presentation permits the beginner to master first the simple principles of accounting as applied in a small business. When he understands these, he can then appreciate the more complicated principles of accounting necessary in recording the transactions for a business of extensive operations. A study of the text would result in only a theoretical knowledge of the subject. Practice is necessary in applying the principles. This practice is provided in the sets that accompany the text. Each set has its outline of accounts based on the nature of the business and the number of transactions in connection therewith.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bookkeeping and Accounting Everyday business consists, in the, main, of buying and selling, receiving and disbursing money, issuing and redeeming notes, and of other similar activities. These activities are known as transactions, and it is the function of bookkeeping to record these transactions clearly, concisely and completely. The modern business man seeks short cuts. He has no sympathy with circumlocution in speech or in written records. To him bookkeep ing is simple. It is merely a shorthand transcript of the occurrences in which he has played an important part. He feels that, as he has learned, without prolonged study, to understand the story written in his books - a story which to him is so simple - there is very little warrant for long-drawn-out courses of schooling to train his clerks and assistants. And, in truth, there is much justification for his point of view. Various mechanical bookkeeping devices are on the market. Book keeping by machinery, as one advertiser styles his particular product. Has secured for itself a firm place in the business offices of America. But no one should be led to believe that any machine, at present avail able, has made bookkeeping obsolete. Machinery reduces the routine bookkeeping burden to a minimum, but it makes no attempt to sup plant knowledge of principles and human thought. While mechanical devices have made easier the task of the bookkeeper, they have at the same time served to accentuate the need of a thorough understanding of the science of accounts. The author, a number of years ago, acquired considerable experience in presenting the subject of bookkeeping to immature students as well as to adults. His experience led him irresistibly to the conclusion that the subject of bookkeeping may be so simplified that, while retaining all its necessary comprehensiveness, it may, nevertheless, be imparted to willing minds within a period of time much shorter than that hitherto devoted to it in the school curriculum. He believes that the way to shorten the period of school study has been clearly indicated in the present text. The methods which he has employed are not unique.

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.
