Re: [GNC] Fixed Asset Budgeting tutorial

[David Cousens]

David,

I don't know of any tutorials but budgeting around fixed assets would have
to be based on their potential income generating capacity in the period
being budgeted for including returns like rent or lease returns or dividends
for securities held - less  any maintenace expenditure and costs (e.g
depreciation, repair and maintenance etc) incurred in the budget period in
generating those returns. You could also consider the potential gains and
losses as a result fo selling long term assets.

If you have historical data, then that is a good point to start from and
then modify on the basis of what you expect changes to be from the
historical values to the current period. If you have no histoical data to
base your budget on then you have to do a lot more research to get some idea
of wht future period data might be. In some cases you can look at
relationships to relevant economic indicators.

While not a tutorial for GnuCash as such, sites like
http://www.businessplanhut.com/calculating-fixed-assets-budget can give you
some insights. Most of your budget preparation is likely to be outside
GnuCash in any case (apart from extraction of historical data) and Gnucash
will only record the outcomes of such calculations for you to eveluate the
future performance against.

[GNC] Fixed Asset Budgeting tutorial

[David Briggs]

Good morning (at least in a lot of places):

 

I am trying to figure out how to do fixed asset budgeting vs. current asset
budgeting.  

 

I can find tutorials that explain the latter, but not the former.

 

Is it any different than current asset budgeting?  It seems to be.

 

Can someone point me to info I can read (to avoid asking a lot of dumb
questions) to get started?

 

Thanks!
