WRITING

TASK 1. Translate into English.

Балансовый отчет - это отчет, составленный на определенную дату. Он показывает стоимость активов предприятия и как были получены финансовые средства на их приобретение.

Все, чем владеет предприятие и имеет денежную стоимость, называется активами. Активы малого предприятия включают обычно наличные средства, счета к получению, оборудование, землю, здания, резервы, механизмы, транспортные средства. Они подразделяются, как правило, на оборотные и необоротные активы.

Оборотные активы - это наличные средства и активы, которые могут быть обращены в наличные в период рабочего цикла предприятия (в основном, в течение года). Они включают векселя к получению, счета к получению, рыночные ценные бумаги и запасы, а также наличные. Однако, если резервы не используются, а векселя и счета к получению не обращаются в наличные в течение года, то их следует рассматривать как постоянные средства.

Запасы (резервы) - это название дается предметам, которые покупаются и продаются с намерением получить прибыль.

CASE STUDY

Read the following text and prepare different layouts of the balance sheet according the figures given in the passage.

In the balance sheet the fixed assets are broken down into intangibles (such as patents and goodwill, entered in the books at a value of $1.5 million) and tangible assets (such as freehold property, land and equipment, at a book value of $7.5 million).

The next heading is current assets and this is split into three: firstly stocks valued at $3.2 million, then debtors (in other words outstanding payment for goods sold) at $1.3 million, and thirdly cash at the bank, worth $350,000. The total of current assets is then reduced by the total of current liabilities, which in this case is $2.2 million and represents amounts owing to creditors, leaving a net figure of $2.65 million. Thus the total assets less the current liabilities amount to $11.65 million.

To reach the final balance this figure must be reduced by the sum of long-term liabilities such as loans and also any provisions. In this case $2.45 million is set aside for long-term loans and there is a $450,000 provision for deferred taxation. So this leaves a final balance of $8.75 million worth of net assets.

The final section of the balance sheet - capital and reserves, represents the net asset figure. This company has a share capital of $6.5 million. This sum is topped up by a share premium account, which represents the difference between the above issued share value and the actual price of the shares. In this case, the capital is further increased by $1.4 million. The company has also revalued its fixed assets to give them a more realistic market price so that the shareholders' equity increases by a further $1.15 million and an equivalent amount is charged to depreciation in the profit and loss account. Finally, $300,000 is deducted in retained profit.

STARTER ACTIVITIES

TASK 1. Read the passage through quickly. Then answer the questions:

1. When is a business considered to operate with profit?

2. What does a business need to manufacture goods or produce services?

When a business operates, resources are used up to produce products or services, which are sold to customers. There are four sets of resources: people's skills, services, materials and facilities, to create products or services which customers need.

The value of the products or services sold is the sales figure, the cost of the resources used up is the costs figure. The business is operating profitably, if sales exceed costs and wealth is created.

The profit and loss account, also known as the income statement, summarises the profitability of the company by balancing revenue against expenses.

Revenue (sometimes called turnover) represents any increase in the owner's equity resulting from the operation of the business. Expenses are costs incurred in connection with the earning of revenue.
