ratio 1.62 from the year 2015 (JB HI-FI, 2015). It has been seen that the amount of current assets

increasing faster as compare to the amount of total liability which reflects that the company has
the ability to pay its all long term or short term debts (Zainudin, & Hashim, 2016).
Interest Earned Ratio evaluates the equivalent amount of income that is used to cover the
interest expenses in the near future (Peavler, 2018). The amount of net income is increasing from
the previous year’s such as 191 to 350 from 2014 to 2018 (JB HI-FI, 2018). But it has been

income of the company is reduces from the previous year’s such as 1599 to 15444 in the year

As per the above evaluation, it has been observed that the company operates the business
in an effective manner. The liquidity situation of the company is effective as the current asset is
more as compare to current liabilities. The corporation has the capability to pay the short terms
obligations as it current asset is increases as compare to current liability. The debt ratio reflects
that the company has the ability to pay all long term or short term obligations with the total

be realized within the accounting year. It is an asset which is not expected to turn into cash
within a year. It is reported in the balance sheet of the business under the headings of Assets

methods such as historical cost and fair value. According to the accounting standards, the
companies can value the non-current asset in an appropriate manner.

standard defines the processes that an entity applies to confirm that its assets are carried not more
than its recoverable amount. By analyzing the annual report, it is observed that the impairment
loss is recognized for the total amount by which the exceed amount of carrying asset is

while valuating the non-current assets. The recoverable amount of asset is high than an asset’s
fair value. The company evaluate the recoverable amount is the higher than the fair value less
costs to sell and value in use. Plant and equipment and leasehold improvements are tested for

Accounting Standard 13 (ASSB-13) is fair value measurement which states that the
company evaluates the asset at the fair value to evaluate the asset in the accurate amount (AASB
Standard, 2018). According to this standard, plant and equipment’s, financial assets and
liabilities are evaluated at the fair value. In the annual report of 2018 of JB HI-FI, it has been
seen that the corporation prepared the financial statement under the historical cost. But some of
the financial assets and liability are determined at the fair value to evaluate the current amount of
asset. It is observed that the company reports the financial assets, plant and equipment’s, and
liabilities including derivative instruments at the fair value. Measuring the asset at the fair value
helps the organization to evaluate the amount of asset at the current value (JB HI-FI, 2018). As
per the analysis, it has been seen that the company implement the accounting standards to
evaluate the value of non-current asset in an ethical manner.
