Long-term liabilities are liabilities with a future benefit over one year, such
as notes payable that mature longer than one year. In accounting, the longterm liabilities are shown on the right wing of the balance-sheet representing
the sources of funds, which are generally bounded in form of capital assets.
Definitions
Joint products
Joint products are two or more products separated in the course of processing, each having a
sufficiently high saleable value to merit recognition as a main product.
Joint products include products produced as a result of the oil-refining process, for example,
petrol and paraffin.
Petrol and paraffin have similar sales values and are therefore equally important (joint) products.
By-products
By-products are outputs of some value produced incidentally in manufacturing something else (main
products).
By-products, such as sawdust and bark, are secondary products from the timber industry (where
timber is the main or principal product from the process).
Sawdust and bark have a relatively low sales value compared to the timber which is produced
and are therefore classified as by-products

What is Financial Accounting? Financial Accounting deals with the study of accounting and its
concepts and measurements that underly financial statements, and developing the skills needed
to analyze financial statements effectively, and gain an understanding of the choices enterprises
make in reporting the results of their business activities. The most basic objective of financial
accounting is preparation of general purpose financial statements, which are financial
statements meant for use by stakeholders external to the entity, who do not have any other
means of getting such information.
What is the scope of Financial Accounting? Financial Accounting has wide scope and area
of application. It is not only for the business world, but spread over in all the spheres of the
society in all professions. As accounting is a dynamic subject, its scope and area of operation
have been always increasing, keeping pace with the changes in socio-economic changes. It
also practiced in non-trading institutions like schools, colleges, hospitals, chartable trust, trust
clubs, co-operative society and also in government and local self-government in the form of
municipality, panchayat.

historical cost
replacement cost
The term replacement cost or replacement value refers to the amount that
an entity would have to pay to replace an asset at the present time, according
to its current worth. In the insurance industry, "replacement cost" or
"replacement costvalue" is one of several method of determining the value of
an insured item.
With regards to inventory, net realizable value (NRV) is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business minus any cost to complete and to sell
the goods. NRV is one of the amounts considered when determining the lower
of cost or market for items in inventory.
Economic value
Capital Expenditure
Capital expenditure includes costs incurred on the acquisition of a fixed asset and any
subsequent expenditure that increases the earning capacity of an existing fixed asset.
The cost of acquisition not only includes the cost of purchases but also any additional costs
incurred in bringing the fixed asset into its present location and condition (e.g. delivery costs).
Capital expenditure, as opposed to revenue expenditure, is generally of a one-off kind and its
benefit is derived over several accounting periods. Capital Expenditure may include the
following:
Delivery costs
Legal charges
Installation costs
Up gradation costs
Replacement costs
As capital expenditure results in increase in the fixed asset of the entity, the accounting entry is
as follows:
Debit
Fixed Assets
Credit
Revenue Expenditure
Cash/Payable
Revenue expenditure incurred on fixed assets include costs that are aimed at 'maintaining'
rather than enhancing the earning capacity of the assets. These are costs that are incurred on a
regular basis and the benefit from these costs is obtained over a relatively short period of time.
For example, a company buys a machine for the production of biscuits. Whereas the initial
purchase and installation costs would be classified as capital expenditure, any subsequent
repair and maintenance charges incurred in the future will be classified as revenue expenditure.
This is so because repair and maintenance costs do not increase the earning capacity of the
machine but only maintains it (i.e. machine will produce the same quantity of biscuits as it did
when it was first put to use).
Revenue costs therefore comprise of the following:
Repair costs
Maintenance charges
Repainting costs
Renewal expenses
As revenue costs do not form part of the fixed asset cost, they are expensed in the income
statement in the period in which they are incurred. The accounting entry to record revenue
expenditure is therefore as follows:
Debit
Cash/Payable
What is goodwill?
In accounting, goodwill is an intangible asset associated with a business
combination. Goodwill is recorded when a company acquires (purchases) another
company and the purchase price is greater than the combination or net of 1) the fair
value of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, and 2) the
liabilities that were assumed.
Goodwill is reported on the balance sheet as a noncurrent asset. Since 2001, U.S.
companies are no longer required to amortize the recorded amount of goodwill.
However, the amount of goodwill is subject to a goodwill impairment test at least
once per year.
Outside of accounting, goodwill could refer to some value that has been developed
within a company as a result of delivering amazing customer service, unique
management, teamwork, etc. This goodwill, which is unrelated to a business
combination, is not recorded or reported on the company's balance sheet.
