INTRODUCTION & OBJECTIVE If a business consists of several independent activities, or is divided into several departments, for carrying on separate functions, its management is usually interested in finding out the working results of each department to ascertain their relative efficiencies. This can be made possible only if departmental accounts are prepared. Departmental accounts are of great help and assistance to the managements as information for controlling the business more intelligently and effectively, since thereby all types of waste either of material or of working of departments or units into which the business may be divided. INTER-DEPARTMENTAL TRANSFERS Whenever goods or services are provided by one department to another, their cost should be separately recorded and charged to the department benefiting thereby and credited to that providing it. The totals of such benefits should be disclosed in the departmental Profit and Loss Accounts, to distinguish them from other items of expenditure. Goods and services may be charged by one department to another usually on any of the following three bases: (i) At Cost, (ii) At Prevailing market price, (iii) At Cost plus agreed percentage of profit. ALLOCATION V/S APPORTIONMENT OF EXPENSES Where an expense is specifically incurred or traceable to particular department it is known as allocation of expenses like salary of department manager is to borne by concerned department only. On the other hand, when a common expense is to be distributed amongst various departments, it is known as apportionment of expenses like Rent of premises to be apportioned in the ratio of area occupied by various departments after considering location advantage, if any. BASIS OF ALLOCATION OF COMMON EXPENDITURE AMONG DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS Some of the common bases used for apportioning the common expenses/incomes are summarized in the following table: S. No. Items of income/expense Commonly used basis for apportionment (i) Rent, rates, taxes, repairs and maintenance of Area of each department. building Number of light points in each department or (ii) Lighting by separate meter or area of department. (iii) Depreciation of assets, fire insurance, common Asset value of each department. repair and maintenance expenses of assets etc. (iv) Discount received, carriage inward etc. Purchases of each department. (v) Discount allowed, bad debts, carriage outward, Sales (or turnover) of each department. salesmen salary, advertising and commission. (vi) P.F. and E.S.I. contributions. Salaries of each department. (vii) Canteen expenses, common room expenses, Number of employees in each department. medical expenses and other Labour welfare exp. Unrealised Profit on unsold stock When profit is added in the inter-departmental transfers the loading included in the unsold stock at the end of the year is to be excluded before final accounts are prepared so as to eliminate any anticipatory profit included therein. This is done by creating an appropriate stock reserve by debiting the combined Profit and Loss Account. Thus, accounting entry for closing Stock reserve: P & L a/c .. Dr. To Stock Reserve Example 1. Green & Co has two Departments P and Q. Department P sells goods to Department Q at normal selling prices. From the following particulars prepare Departmental Trading and Profit and Loss Account for the year ended 31 3 1994 and also ascertain the Net Profit to be transferred to balance Sheet:Particulars Department P Department Q Opening Stock Nil `1,00,000 Purchases 23,00,000 2,00,000

Example 9. Southern Store Ltd. is a retail store operating two departments. The company maintains a memorandum stock account and memorandum mark up account for each of the departments. Supplies issued to the departments are debited to the memorandum stock account of the department at cost plus the mark-up, and departmental sales are credited to this account. The mark upon supplies issued to the departments is credited to the mark up account of the department. When it is necessary to reduce the selling price below the normal selling price, i.e. cost plus mark-up, the reduction (mark down) is entered in the memorandum stock account and in the mark up account. Department Y has a mark up of 33-1/3% on cost, and Department Z 50% on cost. The following information has been extracted from the records of Southern Store Ltd. for the year ended 31st December 1988:Department Y Department Z Stock, 1st January, 1988 at cost `24,000 `36,000 Purchases 1,62,000 1,90,000 Sales 2,10,000 2,85,000 The stock of department Y at 1st January 1988 includes goods on which the selling price has been marked down by `510. These goods were sold in January, 1988 at the reduced price. Certain goods purchased in 1988 for `2,700 for department Y, were transferred during the year to Department Z, and sold for `4,050. Purchase and sale are recorded in the purchases of department Y and the sales of department Z respectively, but no entries in respect of the transfer have been made. Goods purchased in 1988 were marked down as follows:Department Y (`) Department Z (`) Cost 8,000 21,000 Mark down 800 4,100 At the end of the year there were some items in the stock of department Z, which had been marked down to `2,300. With this exception all goods marked down in 1988 were sold during the year at the reduced prices. st During stock taking at 31 December 1988 goods which had cost `240 were found to be missing in the department Y. It was determined that the loss should be regarded as irrecoverable. The closing stocks in both departments are to be valued at cost for the purpose of the annual accounts. You are requested to prepare for each department for the year ended 31st Dec.1988:(a) a trading account (b) a Memorandum Stock Account and (c) a memorandum Mark up Account. [C.A.(Inter) May 1989]
