I have already mentioned about the meaning of Cash Flow Statement that it reveals the inflow and outflow of cash during a particular period in a particular organization. From the management point of view it is also important tool of cash planning and controlling.

Main objectives of Cash Flow Statements (CFS):

To show the causes of changes in cash balance between the balance sheet dates.

To show the factors contributing to the reduction of cash balance in spite of increasing profit or decreasing profit

Now, after knowing about the CFS objectives we can discuss about the uses of CFS:

It is for explaining the reasons for low cash balance

CFS shows the major sources and uses of cash

It helps in short term financial decisions relating to liquidity

From the past year statements projections can be made for the future

It helps the management in planning the repayment of loans, credit arrangements etc

If you want to prepare CFS then use these:

Opening of accounts for non-current items

Preparation of adjusted P & L Account

Comparison of current items

Preparation of Cash Flow Statements

Cash Flow Statements Formula:

Net Profit + Decrease in Current Assets - Increase in Current Assets
Increase in Current Liabilities Decrease in Current Liabilities

Secured Loans and Unsecured Loans Overview

January 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Secured Loans

The amount borrowed is secured against your property and is usually repaid over a shorter period than the life of any existing mortgage. These loans generally have a very competitive rate of interest, depending upon your circumstances, as the lender has the security of your property if it is not repaid. You must remember that your property may be at risk if you do not keep the repayments to a secured loan.

UK Secured loans often offer two main advantages- due to the security they to the lender they are easier to obtain and often have more preferable interest rates.

The main disadvantage to the secured personal loan is the most obvious one that the loan s secured upon your property and if you fail to keep up repayments then your property will be at risk and could be repossessed.

Unsecured Loans

This loan can be used for any purpose. To obtain a unsecured loan, you have to have a good credit history. Unsecured loans usually have a slightly higher interest rate, as there is more risk to the lender if the loan is not repaid.

UK Unsecured loans are more difficult to obtain than secured loans, and you must usually have a good credit record in order to obtain one.

Re-Mortgage : take advantage of lower rate of interest

December 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Re-Mortgage

A recent survey has estimated that homeowners currently spend $720 million per annum too much on mortgage payments because they were unaware they can get a better deal from another lender. The financial services industry is arguably the most competitive it has ever been and because of this consumers can get fantastic saving on their mortgages as companies compete with each other for business.

Why to re-mortgage?

To take advantage of lower rate of interest or to release the equity that has built up in your home, to extend or reduce the term of mortgage or even to consolidate the debts. You may also want to release money to buy-to-let a property.

Personal Loan

A personal loan is an agreement between a borrower and a lender such as a bank, building society or loan company, allowing the borrower to be lent a specified amount of money according to certain terms and conditions. The loan is usually dispensed as a lump sum and then repaid by monthly installments. Personal loans usually start at about $500 and can go up to beyond $20000. Customer will agree to pay back the loan over a predetermined period of time, referred to as the term of the loan, in monthly installments. Loan terms can very between six months and twenty-five years; but it depends on the individual lender as to their requirements and conditions.

This charge is calculated as a percentile of the borrowed amount and accrues with the length of time for which the money is borrowed. This is called interest.

UK Personal loans are usually available for almost any purpose. You might want to fund your dream holiday, pay for an extension on the house, or buy a car. Personal loans are available for almost any amount you require, though lenders will usually only provide loans between certain brackets.

MORTGAGE

Mortgage is a structured loan- term loan to enable you to buy your own home.

The following is an introduction to type of payment methods.

REPAYMENT MORTGAGE

It is also known as the Capital and interest mortgage. This involves the borrowing of a Sum of money over a chosen term, often 25 years, over which the borrower makes a monthly payment to the lender that includes interest as well as part of the capital. This is the only method which guarantees that by the end of the mortgage term, the mortgage would be paid off. The borrower can see the mortgage debt reducing each year.

INTEREST ONLY MORTAGE

In this kind of payment method the borrower agree to pay only the interest each month and the capital borrowed is paid off the end of the term as lump sum.

This, therefore, requires a separate saving vehicle to run the mortgage so that the mortgage can be paid at the end of term. This is usually in the form of an endowment, ISA or pension.

The three most common savings vehicles used for mortgage repayment are

ISA: One can benefit from the tax concessions available within these plans. It is from the proceeds of your plan that pay off your mortgage. An added opportunity, if ISA performs exceptionally well, or you can afford additional payments it, is that you may be able to repay your mortgage ahead of schedule.

Pension: By using the tax free lump facility available from pension plan to pay off your mortgage debt, you can take advantage of the tax relief they are available on pension contributions.

Endowment: These are life Assurance Policies that serve two purposes. Firstly They Provide Financial Protection in case you die before the end of the mortgage term. Secondly, if you survive throughout the policy term, the investment element of the policy provides a lump sum (maturity value) that be used to repay the outstanding mortgage debt.

Financial Crisis Analysis

October 29, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Today, we are facing now financial crisis in all over world. I think it is better to introduce about financial crisis at first. In my point of view financial crisis is the stage of capitalist system. The crisis comes time to time in the system and it is not new. We know, 1929 financial crisis was world’s biggest crisis and after that we face two world war to reduce the crisis. You will think I am talking about war and it is not related to financial crisis. But it is not true. Basically, war comes in the stage of crisis.

At first, we should discuss about capitalist system because the crisis has been produced by this system. It is simple every state has system to run that. Currently in the capitalist state what is the system to run the state we will see here. I have already said it is not new financial crisis in the system because every after every 10 years we face the crisis and after some time we forget all the things.

I think here should discuss about capitalist system something. Capitalist systems is different from its all previous system because it runs on money and capital. Now, the question is what is money? Money is nothing but a mediator. It is only exchange value. Suppose, we have a product A and money B then we can exchange from each other if the value is same.

To run every system and every thing basic is productions and products. The basic things is product and money is secondary thing which runs as exchange value. But in the capitalist systems the capital ruled over the production. Here creates all the problem because capital runs but the product remains constant in the situations we face some times inflations and some times crisis.

Now, we will see how the production increase and the sell of products goes in down in the system. The product has been produced for market not for people uses in priority. For example, if we are not able to pay a lump-sum for a product we can’t buy however the product after some times will be diminish. But the run market the product will not be sold.

It is the basic laws of production in the capitalist system. Now, we will discuss about circulation systems. In the circulation system the product comes in market but the money doesn’t come with that in market to buy the product. For example, in a company a labour work 8 hours and produced 100 rupees product but after the 8 hours he get only 20 rupees as a labour value. In this condition 80 rupees goes in the pocket of capitalist. We can assume that if the capitalist spend 40 rupees more to buy the row material, labour, machine etc. however he has still 40 rupees in his pocket. In this conditions in the market the product has been sold only the rupees of 60 and product of rupees remain in the store of capitalist. In this cycle the production accumulation became higher and crisis comes itself.

The capitalist system in this situations use the financial loans to face the problem which we can see today with the banks. Banks are trying to give more and more loans to the consumer. What is the reason behind it? They want to sell their product and want to capture the future saving of the people. I have already written about it with the topic of loans – killer of people future savings.

Lastly, the capitalist system can’t face the problem forever and can’t remove the financial crisis forever because the cycle of capitalist system is very bad. We can say the current scenario of the India. From the 2006 to 2008 the market was on boom because people got the loans and bought the product which was already produced before production of that.

People were thought that India is growing and market is in boom but what about today’s scenario. The market is in its real conditions and all the growth remain same of 2005. Actually, it was not growth it was the boom of capitalist system by the loans. Actual, production was remain constant then how a country can develop and growth. Only the consumptions was developed not production that is why after 2 years again we are facing the problem.

I think it is the analysis of financial crisis in the term of capitalist system. Now, from here we can deal what can be better options to escape the financial crisis.

I will write that in my next post with some example.

Loans – Killer of People Future Savings

October 26, 2008 · Leave a Comment

1st we have to understand about the loans. A loan is a type of debt. It is sum of borrowed money which is general repaid with interest.

Next from where we get the loan? Loans are provided by lender or broker for a time period with some interest.

History of loans shows that some people take over the resources of social property and became a rich persona. All the history is evident of its. The people who captured on the resources started exploiting the people who had nothing to eat and live.

From here the concept loans came. It is basically come with the capitalist system because the system runs on capital. Basically it runs on accumulated capital.

With the development of industries the goods produced exceedingly. In this situation the accumulated goods were exceeded and crisis comes in economics.

We can see the recent scenario of Indian share market. The Sensex was started from about 8 or 9 thousands last year and this year reached over 20000.

People were happy that they are developing and their country is going to be world’s imperialist power. But all are only a showcase.

The real things were crisis of market. Accumulation of capitalist system reached in higher position in 1 year. All the things were not related to production but all things were related speculation and share market.

Banks provides money as a loan to people and people became a big consumer of market and all the products were sold very fast. But after this all the things became normal. Many banks announced their bankruptcy and now in the recent scenario all the banks trying to close their business.

Loans are given by banks as back support to sell the products of capitalist and they captures people future savings which is taken as interest by banks.

This was the thought about the loans that is why said, “Loans – Killer of People Future Savings”.
