Published: April 2019

Accounting is business language. A language has two components that are symbol and grammatical rule. Accounting information usually presented as the set of procedures for creating financial reports. Based on framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements, information provided in financial statements are useful to users if it has qualitative characteristics. One of the characteristics is understandability. For this purpose, users are assumed to have a reasonable knowledge of business and economic activities and accounting and a willingness to study the information with reasonable diligence. Accounting information usually presents as numbers and conventional graph. Previous studies suggest that schematic faces is used as alternative communication for accounting information. Existing application of schematic faces is found by Chernoff. In the modern age, people is get used to know emoticon as symbol for communicate easily, so this paper employs emoticon not the Chernoff faces. This research is aimed to know the impacts on the effectiveness between emoticon and traditional figure on presenting accounting information. The analysis of company net income, current ratio, liquidity ratio, return on asset and earning per share are presented in traditional figures and emoticons. Respondent has to find out which company is better performance compare to the other. Method of analysis are descriptive statistic and differential t-test. Respondents are accounting and management students which are taken by purposive random sampling. The result show that respondents have better average score on choosing the better company using emoticon (88.18) compares to traditional figure (82.72). The effectiveness of financial information is also significantly evidenced in emoticons compare to traditional figure.

The main objective of this project is to design and analyze the portable hydraulic scissor truck instead of manual pallet truck for the purpose of dropping and lifting battery box in AC Coaches to bring it outside for checking suspension/cradle of battery box for availability of all suspension bolts, signs of any cracks, corrosion, rusting and taking corrective action, if necessary. If suitable hydraulic cylinder with more power is used, this scissor lift can also be designed for heavy load purposes. This equipment will be simple to use. Frequent maintenance is not required for this equipment. In this paper we carried out detailed analysis of scissor mechanism members against bending and buckling failure and also focused on various design aspects and working of scissor mechanism and helpful to lifting and dropping of battery box without any failure with this scissor truck For existing practice the battery box dropping and lifting done by using manual pallet truck. It shows the design is unsafe handling, injury to employee and feel uncomfortable. It is very tedious for human being to lift a vehicle above from the ground. Even when a hydraulic jack is implemented, it requires manual work. In this era, every man in the world wants comfort and hence to relieve the problems faced by lifting and placing the battery box. Our project aims to reduce the manual work involved during the replacement of battery box instead of applying manual pallet truck. To validate our point and to reduce the above said difficulties faced, the design of hydraulic lift has been changed.
