Toyota's Fixed Assets Analysis
      Abstract
              Fixed Assets are the belongings held with the aim of getting used on non-stop foundation for the purpose
      of manufacturing or supplying items or services and are not held for resale inside the regular route of
      enterprise. Valuation of fixed property is essential to have truthful measure of income or loss and financial
      position of the priority. constant property are meant to be used for decades. The cost of these belongings
      decreases with their use or with time or many other motives. A portion of fixed property are reduced via usage
      are converted into cash via charging depreciation. for correct dimension of profits, proper measurement of
      depreciation is important, as depreciation constitutes a part of overall cost of manufacturing. The research
      provides the importance and analysis of Fixed Assets Management at TOYOTA MOTORS LTD.

      INTRODUCTION
            Economic transactions are recorded in the books, preserving in view the going problem
      aspect of the enterprise unit. In going concern thing it is assumed that the enterprise unit has
      affordable expectation of continuing the enterprise for a earnings for an indefinite period of
      time. This assumption presents an awful lot of the justification for recording fixed assets at
      unique cost and depreciating them in a systematic way without reference to their cutting-edge
      realizable value. It is useless to file the constant assets in the balance sheet at their predicted
      realizable values if there is no instantaneous expectation of promoting them. So, they're
      shown at their e book value (i.e., value –Depreciation) and not at modern-day realizable
      price. The marketplace cost of the constant belongings might also exchange with the passage
      of time, however for accounting motive it continues to be shown within the books in
      historical cost. The cost concept of accounting states that depreciation calculated on the idea
      of historic price of old assets is usually decrease than the amount calculated at modern fee/
      replacement value. these effects in extra income, which if allotted in complete will cause
      reduction in capital.
      Acquisition: The cycle begins with the acquisition, purchase, gift or otherwise, of an asset
      and the determination that the asset is to be capitalized. To be capitalized the asset has to meet
      the agency’s capitalization limit and have a useful life of one year or more.
      Receiving:         The asset is formally received and accepted by the agency. Receipt may be
      verified by entry into an automated purchasing system or by hard copy document. In the case
      of donated fixed assets, receipt can be verified by a letter to the donor.
      Payment:        Payment is made for the asset according to the terms of the purchase order or
      recognition of acceptance of a gift to the donor. The payment includes the acquisition cost,
      freight and all other costs to put the asset. Acquisition cost of donated fixed assets is
      determined by its fair market value.
      Identification:       The asset is identified as an asset, tagged or otherwise identified and
      entered into the fixed assets management inventory system. Assets are identified with a
      permanently attached identification tag, etching or by painting on the identification number.
      Inventory: The longest step in the cycle. The asset is used over its useful life. Assets are
      inventoried and accounted for during this step until they are no longer needed. The agency’s
      policies and procedures determine the inventory interval.
      Excess: the asset is declared as excess to the user’s needs. The asset may be transferred to
      another user where it will continue to be used, accounted for and inventoried. Assets may be
      declared as excess more than once until the asset is no longer needed.
      Surplus: The last step in the fixed assets management cycle. The asset is declared to be
      surplus property and to have no further value to the agency. The asset is disposed of by sale
      or discarding depending on the residual value. Sale can be by auction, sealed bid, spot sale,
       or through a sales store.
      NEED OF THE STUDY:
                     As constant assets play an important function in enterprise’s targets. these
      constant are not convertible or now not liquid able over a time period. The proprietor’s
      finances and long term liabilities are invested in fixed assets. due to the fact, fixed assets play
      dominant role within the business and the firm has usage of constant assets. So, ratio
      contributes in studying and evaluating the performance of the commercial enterprise. If
      corporations constant property are idle and now not applied nicely it affects the lengthy-term
      sustainability of the company, which may also affect liquidity and solvency and profitability
      positions of the company. The idle of constant property results in a outstanding loss in
      monetary value and intangible fee accomplice of it. So, this could cause assessment of
      constant property overall performance. evaluating with similar business enterprise and
      assessment with industry standards. constant belongings are the assets which can't be
      liquidated into coins inside one year. The big amounts of budget of the enterprise are invested
      in these property. every yr company invests an extra fund in these property at once or
      indirectly. The survival and different targets of the company rely upon running overall
      performance of control i.e. powerful usage of these belongings. Company has evaluated the
      overall performance, of fixed assets with percentage of capital employed on net assets
      turnover and different parameters which might be beneficial for evaluating the performance
      of fixed property.

INTERPRETATION:
      By observing the above table it reveals that the investment in the net block is in increasing
      trend .It was 37.23 over the total fixed assets during the year 2014 and it has increased to
      47.86 during the year 2018-19.
      TREND ANALYSIS:
      In monetary analysis the path of exchange over a duration of years is of preliminary
      importance. Time series and fashion analysis of ratio indicates the course of adjustments.
      This form of evaluation is specially applicable to the profit and loss account. it's far advisable
      that traits of sales and internet income can be studied inside the light of factors. the overall
      rate degree that is probably found in exercise is that a number of companies could be proven
      at continual boom over duration of years but to get a real trend of growth, the sales determine
      have to be adjusted by a appropriate index of popular fees.
             In different phrases, income figures should be deflated for elevating charge level. any
      other method of securing trend of boom and the one which can be used in place of adjusted
      sales determine or as to check on them is to tabulate and lot the output of physical volume of
      the income expressed in suitable gadgets of measure. the general rate stage isn't always taken
      into consideration while reading fashion in boom as it could lie to control. they will come to
      be unduly constructive in length of prosperity and pessimistic in twin intervals.
               For trend evaluation using index numbers is typically endorsed, the technique
      observed is to assign the numbers to objects of base years and at calculated percentage
      alternate in each item of other years in terms of base year. This manner may be known as as
      “fixed percentage approach”. This margin determines the route of upward or downward and
      involves the implementation of the percentage relationship of each announcement object
      method at the identical within the base year. generally the first 12 months is taken as the base
      year. The figures of the bottom yr are taken as a hundred and trend ratio for the opposite
      years is calculated on the premise of first yr. right here an try is made to know the growth fee
      in overall investment and fixed belongings of the TOYOTA cars LTD for 5 years that is
      2018-19 to 2018-19.

      RATIO ANALYSIS:
                    Ratio analysis is a powerful tool of financial analysis. A ratio is defined as the
      indicated Quotient of two mathematical expressions and Ratios look at the relationship
      between individual values and relate them to how a company has performed in the past, and
      might perform in the future.
                    The absolute accounting figure reported in financial statement does not provide
      a meaningful understanding of the performance and financial position of the firm. Ratios help
      us to summarize large quantities of financial data and to make qualitative judgment about
      firm’s financial performance
   1.FIXED ASSETS TO NET WORTH RATIO :
      This ratio establishes the relationship between fixed assets and net worth .
      Net worth = share capital + reserves and surplus + retained earnings
      Fixed assets to net worth ratio = Fixed assets/Net worth
                    The ratio of “Fixed assets” to “Net worth” indicates the extent to which share
      holders funds are sunk into the fixed assets. Generally, share holders should finance for
          Purchasing fixed assets and equity including the reserves and surpluses and retained
      earnings. If the ratio is less than 100% it implies that owner’s funds are more than total fixed
      assets and the share holder provide a part of working capital. When the ratio is more than
      100% it implies that owner’s funds are not sufficient to finance the fixed assets and financier
      has to depend upon outsiders to finance the fixed assets. There is no “Rule of Thumb” to
      interpret but 60%-65% is considered to be satisfactory ratio in case of industrial undertaking.
      This ratio gives an idea as to what part of the capital employed has been used in purchasing
      the fixed assets for the concern. If the ratio is less than 1 it is good for the concern.
      3. FIXED ASSETS AS A PERCENTAGE TO CURRENT LIABILITIES:
              The ratio measures the relationship between fixed assets and the funded debts and is
      very useful to the long term erection. The ratio can be calculated as shown below
              Fixed assets as a percent of current liabilities=Fixed Assets/Current liabilities
      TOTAL ASSETS TURN OVER RATIO:
              The ratio is calculated by dividing the net sales by the value of total assets that is (net
      sales/total investment) or (sales/total investment).A high ratio is an indicator of over trading
      of total assets while a low ratio reveals idle capacity. The traditional standard for the ratio is
      two times.         =             Net sales/Total Assets
      FIXED ASSETS TURNOVER RATIO:
                     The ratio expresses the no. of times fixed assets are being turned over in a stated
      period. It is calculated under.
               = sales/Net fixed assets (after depreciation)
      This ratio shows how well the fixed assets are being used in business. The ratio is important
      in case of manufacturing concern because sales are produced not only by use of current assets
      but also by amount invested in fixed assets the higher ratio, the better is the performance. On
      the other hand, a low ratio indicates that fixed assets are not being effectively utilized.
      RETURN ON TOTAL ASSETS:
              =         Profit after tax/Total assets
      This ratio is calculated to measure the profit after tax against invested in total assets to
      ascertain whether assets are being utilized properly or not.
      The higher the ratio the better it is for the concern.
      Let us use ratios in the (TOYOTA MOTORS LTD) information:
      FIXED ASSETS TO NET WORTH RATIO
                     The ratio indicates the extent to where the shareholders funds are struck in the
      fixed assets. The formula to compute fixed assets to net worth is calculated as follows:
              Fixed assets (after depreciation)/Net worth
      NET WORTH =share capital + reserves and surplus + retained earnings-net loss.
      If the ratio is less than 100% it implies that owner’s funds are more than the fixed assets and
      the shareholders and vice versa provide a part of working capital.
              Fixed assets to net worth ratio = Net fixed assets/Net worth
