   'Complex' is NOT a salient feature of a Computerised Accounting System.

   A Computerised Accounting System (CAS) is designed to make accounting work easier, faster, and more reliable than manual bookkeeping. Its genuine salient features include:

   1. Simple and Integrated — a single data entry (voucher) automatically updates all related books of account (ledger, trial balance, financial statements) — this is INTEGRATION, and the system is meant to be simple to operate, not complicated.
   2. Accuracy and Speed — computations (totals, balances, ratios) are done by the software itself, eliminating manual calculation errors and producing reports quickly.
   3. Transparency — any authorised user can view/verify any transaction and trace it to its source, improving reliability and audit-readiness. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   UNDO reverses the last action performed in a spreadsheet.

   In an electronic spreadsheet (such as MS Excel), several edit commands help manage changes made to a worksheet:

   • UNDO (Ctrl+Z) — reverses/cancels the most recently performed action, restoring the worksheet to its state just before that action. Most spreadsheet programs allow undoing multiple recent steps, not just one.
   • REDO (Ctrl+Y) — reverses an UNDO, i.e. re-applies the action that was just undone.
   • CUT (Ctrl+X) — removes the selected content from its current location and places it on the clipboard, for pasting elsewhere. …

   Q.Which function is used to calculate depreciation using the straight line method in Excel?

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The SLN() function calculates straight-line depreciation in Excel.

   Spreadsheet programs such as MS Excel provide built-in financial functions to calculate depreciation using different methods. For the straight-line method (where the same amount of depreciation is charged every year over the asset's useful life), the function used is:

   SLN(cost, salvage, life)

   where:

   • cost = the original purchase cost of the asset
   • salvage = the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life (scrap/residual value)
   • life = the number of periods (years) over which the asset is being depreciated

   The function computes a constant annual depreciation = (cost − salvage) / life, and returns the same value for every period.

   (a) Income statement

   (b) Cash flow statement

   (c) Balance Sheet

   (d) All of the above

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The Balance Sheet alone shows a company's financial position (assets, liabilities, and equity as on a date) — the Income Statement shows performance, and the Cash Flow Statement shows cash movement, neither of which is "position."

   Each financial statement serves a distinct purpose:

   • Income Statement (Statement of Profit & Loss) — shows the financial performance/results of operations over a period of time (revenue earned, expenses incurred, net profit or loss).
   • Cash Flow Statement — shows the movement of cash (inflows and outflows) over a period of time, classified into operating, investing, and financing activities. …

   Q.State one limitation of financial statement of a company.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Financial statements show only monetary facts, so they cannot capture important non-monetary/qualitative aspects of a business.

   Financial statements (the Balance Sheet and Statement of Profit & Loss) are prepared strictly on the money measurement concept — only those transactions and events that can be expressed in terms of money are recorded. This gives rise to several genuine limitations; one important one is:

   Ignore Qualitative Elements: Financial statements completely leave out important factors that have no direct monetary measure but can significantly affect the firm's real worth and future performance — for example:

   • the skill, efficiency, and morale of employees and management,
   • the quality of customer relationships and brand reputation,
   • market conditions and competitive position,
   • the loyalty and satisfaction of customers.

   A company could have excellent financial ratios on paper while its management is weak or its workforce is demoralised — and the financial statements alone would never reveal this.
