Study Notes
Accounts of Worked Lines
- Worked lines are lines constructed by companies, and privately operated.
- They're worked by a main line system.
- Agreements outline the terms of operation and revenue distribution.
- Agreements cover earnings (gross) and operating expenses.
- These details (above) need to be maintained for each worked line.
- Expenditure and payment related to these lines should follow the agreements' guidelines.
- A summary of the agreement's key features, including earnings, expense shares, apportionment methods, GST provisions, and any rebates, should be kept in the accounts office.
- Copies of these agreements should be available in the Traffic Accounts Office.
Coaching Traffic
- Coaching traffic earnings calculations reference the agreement.
- Earnings comprise fares and freight charges for coaches, and additional payments (pilgrim tax, etc.).
- Taxes and terminal charges are excluded from calculated fares before allocating between main and worked lines.
- Cartage (transport) charges aren't payable to worked lines; they're removed before apportionment.
Calculation of Worked Line Share
- Adjusted working expenses and earned revenues are calculated per the agreements.
- General principles are outlined to support these calculations.
- Calculations ensure fairness and accuracy between main and worked lines.
- Calculation also involves the adjustments of the working expenses on worked lines, or the proportion of earnings to be paid to them.
