CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
Fixed Assets are the assets held with the intention of being used on continuous basis for the purpose of producing or providing goods or services and are not held for resale in the normal course of business.
E.g.: Land and Buildings, Plant and Machinery, Motor Vehicles, Furniture and Fixtures.
Valuation of fixed assets is important to have fair measure of profit or loss and financial position of the concern. Fixed assets are meant for use for many years. The value of these assets decreases with their use or with time or many other reasons. A portion of fixed assets are reduced by usage are converted into cash through charging depreciation. For correct measurement of income, proper measurement of depreciation is essential, as depreciation constitutes a Part of total cost of production.
Financial transactions are recorded in the books, keeping in view the going concern aspect of the business unit. In going concern aspect it is assumed that the business unit has reasonable expectation of continuing the business for a profit for an indefinite period of time. This assumption provides much of the justification for recording fixed assets at original cost and depreciating them in a systematic manner without reference to their current realizable value.
It is useless to record the fixed assets in the balance sheet at their estimated realizable values if there is no immediate expectation of selling them. So, they are shown at their book value (i.e., Cost – Depreciation) and not at current realizable value. The market value of the fixed assets may change with the passage of time, but for accounting purpose it continues to be shown in the books in historical cost.
The cost concept of accounting states that depreciation calculated on the basis of historical cost of old assets is usually lower than the amount calculated at current value/ replacement value. These results in more profits, which if distributed in full will lead to reduction in capital.
FIXED ASSETS MANAGEMENT CYCLE
The fixed assets management cycle is the cycle of activities from the acquisition of the asset to the final disposition of the assets at the end of their useful life.
The cycle has 7 steps:
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.
FIXED ASSETS MANAGEMENT CYCLE
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 AND IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
As fixed assets play an important role in company’s objectives. These fixed are not convertible or not liquidable over a period of time. The owner’s funds and long term liabilities are invested in fixed assets.
If firms fixed assets are idle and not utilized properly it affects the long-term sustainability of the firm, which may affect liquidity and solvency and profitability positions of the company.
Fixed assets are the assets which cannot be liquidated into cash within one year. The huge amounts of funds of the company are invested in these assets. Every year company invests an additional fund in these assets directly or indirectly. The survival and other objectives of the company depend on operating performance of management i.e. effective utilization of these assets.

CHAPTER-2
PROFILE OF THE COMPANY
INDUSTRY PROFILE
In the most general sense of the word, cement is a binder, a substance which sets and hardens independently, and can bind other materials together. The word "cement" traces to the Romans, who used the term "opus caementicium" to describe masonry which resembled concrete and was made from crushed rock with burnt lime as binder. The volcanic ash and pulverized brick additives which were added to the burnt lime to obtain a hydraulic binder were later referred to as cementum, cimentum, cäment and cement. Cements used in construction are characterized as hydraulic or non-hydraulic.
The most important use of cement is the production of mortar and concrete—the bonding of natural or artificial aggregates to form a strong building material which is durable in the face of normal environmental effects.
Concrete should not be confused with cement because the term cement refers only to the dry powder substance used to bind the aggregate materials of concrete. Upon the addition of water and/or additives the cement mixture is referred to as concrete, especially if aggregates have been added.
It is uncertain where it was first discovered that a combination of hydrated non-hydraulic lime and a pozzolan produces a hydraulic mixture (see also: Pozzolanic reaction), but concrete made from such mixtures was first used on a large scale by Roman engineers. They used both natural pozzolans (trass or pumice) and artificial pozzolans (ground brick or pottery) in these concretes. Many excellent examples of structures made from these concretes are still standing, notably the huge monolithic dome of the Pantheon in Rome and the massive Baths of Caracalla. The vast system of Roman aqueducts also made extensive use of hydraulic cement. The use of structural concrete disappeared in medieval Europe, although weak pozzolanic concretes continued to be used as a core fill in stone walls and columns.
Modern cement
Modern hydraulic cements began to be developed from the start of the Industrial Revolution (around 1800), driven by three main needs: Hydraulic renders for finishing brick buildings in wet climates. Hydraulic mortars for masonry construction of harbor works etc, in contact with sea water. Development of strong concretes.
In Britain particularly, good quality building stone became ever more expensive during a period of rapid growth, and it became a common practice to construct prestige buildings from the new industrial bricks, and to finish them with a stucco to imitate stone. Hydraulic lines were favored for this, but the need for a fast set time encouraged the development of new cements. Most famous was Parker's "Roman cement." This was developed by James Parker in the 1780s, and finally patented in 1796. It was, in fact, nothing like any material used by the Romans, but was “Natural cement" made by burning septaria - nodules that are found in certain clay deposits, and that contain both clay minerals and calcium carbonate. The burnt nodules were ground to a fine powder. This product, made into a mortar with sand, set in 5–15 minutes. The success of "Roman Cement" led other manufacturers to develop rival products by burning artificial mixtures of clay and chalk.
John Smeaton made an important contribution to the development of cements when he was planning the construction of the third Eddystone Lighthouse (1755-9) in the English Channel. He needed a hydraulic mortar that would set and develop some strength in the twelve hour period between successive high tides. He performed an exhaustive market research on the available hydraulic lines, visiting their production sites, and noted that the "hydraulicity" of the lime was directly related to the clay content of the limestone from which it was made. Smeaton was a civil engineer by profession, and took the idea no further. Apparently unaware of Smeaton's work, the same principle was identified by Louis Vicat in the first decade of the nineteenth century. Vicat went on to devise a method of combining chalk and clay into an intimate mixture, and, burning this, produced “artificial cement" in 1817. James Frost, orking in Britain, produced what he called "British cement" in a similar manner around the same time, but did not obtain a patent until 1822. In 1824, Joseph Aspdin patented a similar material, which he called Portland cement, because the render made from it was in color similar to the prestigious Portland stone.
All the above products could not compete with lime/pozzolan concretes because of fast-setting (giving insufficient time for placement) and low early strengths (requiring a delay of many weeks before formwork could be removed). Hydraulic lines, "natural" cements and "artificial" cements all rely upon their belite content for strength development. Belite develops strength slowly. Because they were burned at temperatures below 1250 °C, they contained no elite, which is responsible for early strength in modern cements. The first cement to consistently contain elite was made by Joseph Aspdin's son William in the early 1840s. This was what we call today "modern" Portland cement. Because of the air of mystery with which William Aspin surrounded his product, others (e.g. Vicat and I C Johnson) have claimed precedence in this invention, but recent analysis of both his concrete and raw cement have shown that William Aspdin's product made at North fleet, Kent was a true elite-based cement. However, Aspdin's methods were "rule-of-thumb": Vicat is responsible for establishing the chemical basis of these cements, and Johnson established the importance of sintering the mix in the kiln.
William Aspdin's innovation was counter-intuitive for manufacturers of "artificial cements", because they required more lime in the mix (a problem for his father), because they required a much higher kiln temperature (and therefore more fuel) and because the resulting clinker was very hard and rapidly wore down the millstones which were the only available grinding technology of the time. Manufacturing costs were therefore considerably higher, but the product set reasonably slowly and developed strength quickly, thus opening up a market for use in concrete. The use of concrete in construction grew rapidly from 1850 onwards, and was soon the dominant use for cements. Thus Portland cement began its predominant role. it is made from water and sand
Types of modern Portland cement
Cement is made by heating limestone (calcium carbonate), with small quantities of other materials (such as clay) to 1450°C in a kiln, in a process known as calcination, whereby a molecule of carbon dioxide is liberated from the calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide, or lime, which is then blended with the other materials that have been included in the mix. The resulting hard substance, called 'clinker', is then ground with a small amount of gypsum into a powder to make 'Ordinary Portland Cement', the most commonly used type of cement (often referred to as OPC).
Portland cement is a basic ingredient of concrete, mortar and most non-specialty grout. The most common use for Portland cement is in the production of concrete. Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregate (gravel and sand), cement, and water. As a construction material, concrete can be cast in almost any shape desired, and once hardened, can become a structural (load bearing) element. Portland cement may be gray or white.
Portland cement blends
These are often available as inter-ground mixtures from cement manufacturers, but similar formulations are often also mixed from the ground components at the concrete mixing plant.
Portland blast furnace cement contains up to 70% ground granulated blast furnace slag, with the rest Portland clinker and a little gypsum. All compositions produce high ultimate strength, but as slag content is increased, early strength is reduced, while sulfate resistance increases and heat evolution diminishes. Used as an economic alternative to Portland sulfate-resisting and low-heat cements.
Portland flashy cement contains up to 30% fly ash. The fly ash is pozzolanic, so that ultimate strength is maintained. Because fly ash addition allows lower concrete water content, early strength can also be maintained. Where good quality cheap fly ash is available, this can be an economic alternative to ordinary Portland cement.
Pozzolan cement includes fly ash cement, since fly ash is a pozzolan, but also includes cements made from other natural or artificial pozzolans. In countries where volcanic ashes are available (e.g. Italy, Chile, Mexico, and the Philippines) these cements are often the most common form in use.
Portland silica fume cement
Addition of silica fume can yield exceptionally high strengths, and cements containing 5-20% silica fume are occasionally produced. However, silica fume is more usually added to Portland cement at the concrete mixer.
Masonry cements are used for preparing bricklaying mortars and stuccos, and must not be used in concrete. They are usually complex proprietary formulations containing Portland clinker and a number of other ingredients that may include limestone, hydrated lime, air entrainers, retarders, water proofers and coloring agents. They are formulated to yield workable mortars that allow rapid and consistent masonry work. Subtle variations of Masonry cement in the US are Plastic Cements and Stucco Cements. These are designed to produce controlled bond with masonry blocks.
Expansive cements contain, in addition to Portland clinker, expansive clinkers (usually sulfo aluminate clinkers), and are designed to offset the effects of drying shrinkage that is normally encountered with hydraulic cements. This allows large floor slabs (up to 60 m square) to be prepared without contraction joints.
White blended cements may be made using white clinker and white supplementary materials such as high-purity met kaolin Colored cements are used for decorative purposes. In some standards, the addition of pigments to produce "colored Portland cement" is allowed. In other standards (e.g. ASTM), pigments are not allowed constituents of Portland cement, and colored cements are sold as "blended hydraulic cements".
Very finely ground cements are made from mixtures of cement with sand or with slag or other pozzolan type minerals which are extremely finely ground together. Such cements can have the same physical characteristics as normal cement but with 50% less cement particularly due to their increased surface area for the chemical reaction. Even with intensive grinding they can use up to 50% less energy to fabricate than ordinary Portland cements.
Non-Portland hydraulic cements:
Pozzolan-lime cements
Mixtures of ground pozzolan and lime are the cements used by the Romans, and are to be found in Roman structures still standing (e.g. the Pantheon in Rome). They develop strength slowly, but their ultimate strength can be very high. The hydration products that produce strength are essentially the same as those produced by Portland cement.
Slag-lime cements
Ground granulated blast furnace slag is not hydraulic on its own, but is "activated" by addition of alkalis, most economically using lime. They are similar to pozzolan lime cements in their properties. Only granulated slag (i.e. water-quenched, glassy slag) is effective as a cement component.
Super sulfated cements
These contain about 80% ground granulated blast furnace slag, 15%gypsum or anhydrite and a little Portland clinker or lime as an activator. They produce strength by formation of ettringite, with strength growth similar to a slow Portland cement. They exhibit good resistance to aggressive agents, including sulfate.
Calcium Aluminates cements are hydraulic cements made primarily from limestone and bauxite. The active ingredients are monocalcium aluminate CaAl2O4 (CaO · Al2O3 or CA in Cement chemist notation, CCN) and may enite Ca12Al14O33 (12 CaO · 7 Al2O3, or C12A7 in CCN). Strength forms by hydration to calcium aluminate hydrates. They are well-adapted for use in refractory (high-temperature resistant) concretes, e.g. for furnace linings.
Calcium sulfo aluminate cements are made from clinkers that include ye’elimite (Ca4 (AlO2)6SO4 or C4A3Abbildung in dieser Leseprobe nicht enthalten in Cement chemist's notation) as a primary phase. They are used in expansive cements, in ultra-high early strength cements, and in "low-energy" cements. Hydration produces ettringite, and specialized physical properties (such as expansion or rapid reaction) are obtained by adjustment of the availability of calcium and sulfate ions. Their use as a low-energy alternative to Portland cement has been pioneered in China, where several million tons per year are produced. Energy requirements are lower because of the lower kiln temperatures required for reaction and the lower amount of limestone (which must be endothermically decarbonated) in the mix. In addition, the lower limestone content and lower fuel consumption leads to a CO2 emission around half that associated with Portland clinker. However, SO2 emissions are usually significantly higher.
"Natural" Cements correspond to certain cements of the pre-Portland era, produced by burning argillaceous limestones at moderate temperatures. The level of clay components in the limestone (around 30-35%) is such that large amounts of belite (the low-early strength, high-late strength mineral in Portland cement) are formed without the formation of excessive amounts of free lime. As with any natural material, such cements have highly variable properties.
Geopolymer cements are made from mixtures of water-soluble alkali metal silicates and alumino silicate mineral powders such as fly ash and metakaolin.
