Meaning of Joint Ventures and Fundamentals of Accounting 


MEANING of JOINT VENTURE

A joint venture is an agreement between two or more parties to combine their resources for the goal of completing a certain job or transaction. This task could be a new project or a different type of commercial activity. Each partner of a joint venture is liable for the earnings, losses, and expenditures associated with it. The enterprise, on the other hand, is a separate entity from its participants.

 

EXAMPLE of JOINT VENTURE

A joint venture is an agreement between two or more parties to combine their resources for the goal of completing a certain job or transaction. This task could be a new project or a different type of commercial activity. Each partner of a joint venture is liable for the earnings, losses, and expenditures associated with it. The enterprise, on the other hand, is a separate entity from its participants.

 

Joint venture business When there is an advantage to be gained by pooling the resources of individual business entities for a limited period or for a specific commercial transaction, a joint venture business is appropriate. For example, if the order is for 1000 MT of copper, it can be imported at a reasonable cost. Separate company organizations A and B both require copper for their respective businesses, but in fewer quantities than 1000 MT. They pool their funds and use a joint venture founded specifically for this reason to import 1000 MT. A joint venture is founded by two independent commercial entities when they bid in an auction or start a business for a specified purpose, such as building highway roads for the government.

 

JOINT-VENTURE ACCOUNTING

Coming to the Joint-Venture accounting, the parties can maintain the records of the joint venture business transactions in different ways, such as:

1) Entities maintain the records of the joint business transactions, in their own business entity books, and reconcile them with other ventures as and when required, including at the end for final settlement.

2) SEPARATE SET OF BOOKS OF ACCOUNTS is maintained for and by the joint venture business including a profit loss account to arrive at the profit.  At the time of closure of business, all the books of accounts are closed after the distribution of profits and assets left out in an agreed manner.  In this case, it may be necessary to open a joint bank account to operate the financial transactions of the business.  Apart from this, a joint venture account is prepared on the lines of a profit & loss Account and also individual accounts of partners in the venture.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration.

When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name

What are Noble Gases? Example and noble gases name Noble Gases Noble gases, sometimes known as inert gases or erosions, are part of the modern periodic table's 18th group. This group is made up of the following individuals: Helium is a kind of gas (He) Neon (Ne) Argon is a gas (Ar) Krypton  (Kr) Xenon is a kind of xenon gas (Xe) Radon is a gas that can cause cancer (Rn) Noble gases exist in a gaseous state under typical temperature and pressure conditions. Because all noble gases have stable electronic structures, they have very little chemical reactivity. They are monoatomic gases that do not readily form molecules. 'ns2np6' represents the basic electrical configuration of noble gases. As a result, noble gases' outermost valence shells can be deemed 'complete.' The chemical inertness of the group of 18 elements is due to this. Because of the stability of certain elements, these gases form a group. These stable elements' crusts are totally filled.
