MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
INTRODUCTION
In order to overcome the limitations of financial
accounting and to provide necessary information to
management for taking vital decisions, a new system of
accounting was developed, which is known as

The term ‘Management Accounting’ was first coined
and used by the British Team of Accountants that visited
the U.S.A. in 1950 under the auspices of Anglo-American
Productivity Council.
Since then, Management Accounting has grown into a
full fledged subject and is looked upon as a subject distinct
from traditional accounting in recent years.

20,000
Gross Profit Ratio = 18%
2. Operating Ratio = Cost of goods sold + operating expenses X 100
Sales
= 16,400 + 2,200 X 100 = 93%
20,000
Operating Ratio = 93%
3. Operating Profit Ratio = Operating Profit X 100

Solution – Sum No. : 7
1. . Gross Profit Ratio = Gross Profit X 100
Sales
= 2,00,000 X 100 = 40%
5,00,000
Gross Profit Ratio = 40%
2. Operating Ratio = Cost of goods sold + operating expenses X 100
Sales
Cost of goods sold = opening stock + purchases – closing stock
= 75,000 + 3,25,000 – 1,00,000
= Rs. 3,00,000
Operating Ratio = 3,00,000 + 25,000 X 100 = 73%
5,00,000
Operating Ratio = 73%
3. Operating Profit Ratio = Operating Profit X 100
Sales
Operating profit = Gross profit – operating expenses
= 2,00,000 – 65,000 = 1,35,000
Operating profit = 1,35,000
Operating profit ratio = 1,35,000 X 100 = 27%
5,00,000
Operating Profit Ratio = 27%
4. Net Profit Ratio = Net Profit X 100
Sales
= 1,50,000 X 100 = 30%
5,00,000
Net Profit Ratio = 30 %
5. Expenses Ratio:
(a) Administrative expenses ratio = Administrative Expenses X100
Sales
= 40,000 x 100 = 8%
5,00,000
Administrative Ratio = 8%
(b) Selling & Distribution Expenses Ratio= Selling & Distribution
ExpensesX100
Sales
= 25,000 X 100 = 5%
5,00,000
Selling & Distribution Expenses Ratio = 5%
6. Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold
Average Stock
Average Stock = Opening Stock + Closing Stock
2
= 75,000 + 100,000 / 2 =87,500
Average Stock = 87,500
Stock Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold
Average Stock
= 3,00,000 = 3.43 times
87,500
Stock Turnover Ratio = 3.43 times.

particulars Rs.
Total purchases (gross) 2,00,000
Cash purchases 20,000
Purchase return 34,000
Creditors at the end 70,000
Bills payable at the end 40,000
Alternatively,
Solution:
Debtors Velocity = Debtors + Bills Receivable X No.of Working Days
Credit Sales
Net credit sales = Total Sales – Cash Sales
= 5,00,000 – 2,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000
Apply the available values in the formula,
Debtors + Bills Receivable X 360 = 30
3,00,000
Adopting Cross Multiplication,
Debtors + Bills receivable = 30 X 3,00,000
360
= Rs.25,000
Debtors + 5000 = Rs.25,000
Debtors = Rs.25,000 – 5,000
Debtors = Rs. 20,000.
SUM No. 16
(d) Stock:
Stock = Current Assets – Quick Assets
= Rs. 1,75,000 – Rs.46,000
= Rs. 1,29,000
(e) Proprietors’ funds:
Fixed assets to proprietors’ funds = Fixed Assets = 0.75 : 1
Proprietors’ funds
Note : In the absence of long term loan, following equation can be had
from the balance sheet. i.e. Total Liabilities = Total Assets
i.e. Proprietors’ funds + current liabilities = Fixed assets + current
assets
Proprietors’ funds – fixed assets = current assets – current
liabilities
1 – 0.75 = Rs. 1,75,000 – Rs.1,00,000
0.25 = Rs. 75,000
Therefore, Proprietors Funds (1) = Rs.3,00,000
Fixed Assets (0.75) = Rs.2,25,000
Proprietors’ funds = Rs.3,00,000
Less: Reserves& Surplus = Rs.1,00,000
SHARE CAPITAL = Rs, 2,00,000
