Under the Hire Purchase System, the ownership in asset is not owned by the hirer (hire purchaser). Nevertheless, Depreciation is provided by the hire purchaser on such assets since:

(a) It is used for the business and

(b) It is likely to be owned in near future on payment of the last instalment.

Depreciation may be charged either under the Straight Line Method or the Written Down Method. It should be noted that Depreciation is charged with reference to the cost of the asset i.e. its cash price and not its hire purchase price.

Under the Instalment Payment System, the ownership is transferred by the seller to the buyer at the time of sale (at the time of signing the contract), unlike Hire Purchase System, where the ownership is transferred only upon the payment of last instalment.

Difference Between both the terms is explained with the help of following points:

Ownership: The ownership in goods is transferred from the seller to the buyer only upon the payment of last instalment.

In IP System, the ownership is transferred upon signing of the contract.

Rights: In HP System, the buyer cannot sell or transfer the goods. He is even responsible for the good condition of the hire purchased goods.

In IP System, the buyer can sell or transfer the goods, as the buyer becomes the legal owner of the goods.

Risk: All the risks are borne by the seller, till the payment of last instalment by the buyer.

In IP System, all the risks are borne by the buyer, as soon as he signs the agreement.

Returning of Goods: In HP System, the goods can be returned by the buyer to the seller, anytime before the payment of the last instalment.

In IP System, the buyer cannot return the goods to seller, once the contract comes to force between the two parties.

 

Q1) Mr. Shashi brought a refrigerator under Hire Purchase System for a cash price of 15,675 with the following terms:

(A)     4,500 to be paid on signing the agreement.

(B)      Balance to be paid in three equal instalments of 4,500 at the end of each year.

(C)     The rate of interest charged for the hire purchase is 10% per annum.

Calculate the amount of instalment interest. Also pass Journal Entries in the books of the Buyer as well as the Seller.

Departmental Accounts

Department is a division of a large organization, dealing with a specific area of activity. Department is distinguished from Branch. Various branches of a business are located at distinct places, generally far from each other. Department are small units, carrying out their own specific activity within a single premises of the business.

Whenever there are departments in a business, it is also necessary that profit-loss situation is also derived from each department. Hence,departmental accounts are prepared.

While preparing Departmental Accounts, following points are considered:

1)     Specific expenses of each department are directly charged to that department.

2)     Common expenses are allocated to each department, using some logical method

For e.g. Rent is a common expenditure paid for the whole unit of the business. So it will be allocated to each department on the basis of the area occupied by each of them.

 

Branch Accounts

Large business organizations may have a main office, known as Head Office (H.O.) and several offices at different geographical locations, known as Branch. Branches are opened with a view to gain larger customer base, from different geographies. It increases sales of the company.

Any business entity having Branch or Branches need to prepare different set of books of accounts for H.O separately from its Branch. This is done so that Branch Profits can be computed and management can find out the profitability of each of the branch separately.

There are two types of Branch. Dependent and Independent.

Accounting of Dependent Branch is done as per one of the two methods:

Debtors Method and

Stock and Debtors Method.

In Debtors Method, a separate branch a/c is prepared in the books of the H.O. And all items related to the specific branch are recorded in the same a/c. Accounting is different on the fact whether Goods are sent to the branch by H.O. At Cost Price or at a higher price than the cost i.e. loading price.

In Stock and Debtors Method,a separate branch a/c is prepared in the books of the H.O. But in much more detailed manner, than in the Debtors Method. In this case also, accounting depends upon the price at which goods are sent to the branch by the H.O.

A Partnership Firm is said to be dissolved when the business of the firm is closed down and the relation amongst the partners comes to an end. A Partnership Firm is also dissolved when any of its partner or all of its partners except one, becomes insolvent.

A court may also declare to dissolve a partnership firm on account of the following reasons-

  • When a partner becomes an unsound mind person.
  • When a partner is guilty of misconduct
  • When the business cannot be carried on except at Losses.

 


Effects of dissolution:

  • Upon dissolution, the activities of the firm are closed down
  • The assets are disposed off, i.e. sold.
  • Further, the liabilities are settled i.e. paid
  • Any amount leftover is distributed amongst the partners.

According to the said rule, the loss on account of insolvency of a partner is a capital loss and so, the loss should be borne by the Solvent Partners in the ratio of their Capitals standing on the date of dissolution of the firm.

This means that, the solvent partners should bring in cash equivalent to their respective share of loss on realization and the loss due to the insolvency of a partner should be divided among the solvent partners in the ratio of capitals.

 


The FAMOUS Garner Vs Murray Rule:

This rule cannot be applied when all the partners have become or declared insolvent, because there is no solvent person left to pay the dues of other partners.
